Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    If you’re visiting Cambodia, Angkor Wat is a must-see—it’s truly breathtaking! I’d suggest hiring a private driver and guide; it makes the experience even better. For me, a one-day ticket was perfect, though some might prefer spending 2 or 3 days exploring. It really depends on your preference, but either way, it’s an unforgettable adventure!

    Bayon temple is the most beautiful and stunning temple in Angkor Thom complex. It stands with 54 towers and each tower has four faces look every direction. I really appreciate and love this very much. Because the piece of stone and stone to be towers with astonishing faces smiling at everyone. Can’t see these type of temples everywhere in the world. But in Cambodia. Love love love love Bayon temple.

    Home of "Tomb Raider" this is another slightly different from the normal temple.
    Not huge and nicely accessible. Get your Tuk Tuk driver to drop you off one side and pick you up the other.

    We had a wonderful Tuk-Tuk Driver (Mr. Kim Tuk-Tuk Driver) who was recommended to us by a friend who had visited the temples a few months ago. We reached out to Mr. Kim on WhatsApp and arranged for him to tour us for the day and provide a licensed guide, which he gladly did. This was our second stop after visiting Angkor Wat and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Having a guide along really makes a difference. In addition, this temple is not as busy as Angkor Wat so it was a more relaxed visit as we didn't have the clouds. Our guide was excellent in interpreting the murals that are carved into some of the walls which was very interesting and something we would have completely missed if he wasn't with us.

    There are no words to describe it. We spent two full days in the park and every moment was worth it. Among the temples that impressed us most were Bayon, Angkor and Ta Prohm. A highlight: the sunset at Pre Rup.

    We went on a little walk and ended up entering through the little used south entrance to Preah Khan.

    What stood out for me after visiting this temple was the abundance of detailed and intricate carvings found through the complex but especially in the Hall of Dancers. There also was a number of them defaced as the temple was converted to Hinduism.

    Many courtyard,covered passageways but also more jumbled piles waiting to be restored. An unusual feature were many walls and columns had holes in them that were suspected of being used to secured bronze plates. That would have been amazing to see.

    We also came across an empty stupa inside.

    One of the most unusual buildings was seemingly constructed of Greek style columns and informally called a library. It was interesting to ponder if there was any contact between those civilizations.

    This terrace was interesting to see & part of our tour of different temples.
    Our guide explained how The King would sit watch celebrations & ceremonies.
    It is also the gateway to other temples we visited on this section of our tour.

    This is a mid-12th century Hindu temple although like all of the other temples around Angkor, it was converted back and forth between Hindu and Buddhist depending on the religion of the King at the time. This temple had some great carvings on the buildings.

    Neak Pean is a Mahayana Buddhist Temple built on an artificial island on an artificial lake in the late 12th century. The artificial lake is the Jayatadak Boray aproximately 3.5 km long and 900 meters wide. The island has a central pool with the Buddhist temple rising from the center of the pool and four pools around the central pool representing the four elements (earth, fire, wind, and water). The Cambodian government is currently doing restoration works on all of the pools and the canals that feed the pools from the artificial lake around the temple island to preserve the site. It is a very cool temple, but since the temple is in the pool you can't get right next to it.

    This is a 9th century temple. It was the first step pyramid built in Cambodia. Climb to the top of the pyramid and you get a nice view of the surrounding area.

    Just on the opposite side of the road from Sra Srang, this temple is not visited that much (or maybe we we vsited when it was not peak season) so it's a more peaceful visit without having everyone around you.

    A smaller site but still can admire it's architecture.

    This terrace which our guide told us represented hell had intricately carved figures around its base. We could not go up but I think the interesting part was the base.
