Sala Lodges

Truly a wonderful place ! We loved everything, from the unique and authentic conception of the place, to the kindness of the people. We can’t wait to come back one day !

Sala Lodges in the enchanting city of Siem Reap is nothing short of a hidden gem that boasts not only of charming aesthetics but also of exceptional service that made our stay unforgettable. Nestled quietly away, this hotel provided a tranquil retreat that was much needed during our travel. The service at Sala Lodges was commendable, embodying the true spirit of hospitality. The staff were attentive, approachable, and consistently willing to assist us in organizing our trips around Siem Reap, making the overall experience hassle-free and enjoyable. A special shoutout to the Swiss owners who were genuinely amiable and made us feel warmly welcomed. As for the accommodations, the rooms in Sala Lodges were a delightful surprise. Each room bore discrete charm with its tasteful decoration, seamlessly blending traditional and contemporary elements. The authentic Khmer old houses are full of charm, yet modern and well preserved. The hotel’s kitchen offered a menu that might seem simple at a glance but was satisfyingly delightful upon tasting. Every dish we tried was prepared well, with fresh ingredients and flavors that are comforting yet exciting to the palate. The breakfast, in particular, deserves an extra note of praise for being consistently good, providing a delightful start to our days of exploration. Adding to the hotel’s allure was the inviting swimming pool, serving as a refreshing sanctuary after a day of touring the magical temples and vibrant markets of Siem Reap. During the wet season, the atmosphere around Sala Lodges was even more calming and soothing, with the soft sound of rain providing a comforting backdrop to our stay. To sum it up, our experience at Sala Lodges was nothing short of magical. From the excellent service to the beautifully appointed rooms and delightful meals, every aspect of the hotel contributed to a stay that was serene, comfortable, and absolutely enjoyable. Whether you’re traveling in the wet season or not, Sala Lodges offers a cosy retreat that will surely enhance your Siem Reap adventure. Highly recommended!

Beautiful sanctuary with every detail considered from a cool drink delivered pool side to your bed being turned down every night. The staff and owners are wonderful, every bungalow is unique with plenty of room and tastefully decorated complete with air con, mosquito net and a big balcony. Highlights were a delicious breakfast each morning, the saltwater pool and the Khmer cooking class Can’t really fault Sala Lodges but would recommend avoiding coming at the height of the dry season when it is incredibly hot all day, every day.

If heaven was on earth, it would be there! Nothing fancy or bling bling, just pure natural and authentic Cambodian luxury style. Very friendly staff, owner from one of the top hospitality school in Switzerland, really close to the animated area of Pub Street and Angkor Wat. Perfect food, adapted to occidental taste with Cambodian roots. Just go there to really disconnect and get the best experience you can imagine!

Angkor Wat has to be on any bucket list and Sala Lodges is the place to stay when you go. The “rooms” are genuine local wooden built houses set in lovely grounds - pool , spa etc. The food is a mix of western and local Kyhmer - all delicious especially the breakfast bread and pastry selection. The lodges have aircon , hot and cold running water , mosquito nets - and lovely little touches such as locally made slippers and scarves. What makes this whole wonderful place though is the staff - all locals superbly marshalled by Arne and Simone Lugeon the owners. They are efficient , cheerful and always there . The hotel can also plan all of your trips - my tip is to not limit yourself to the temples of Angkor Wat. Take the sunset cruise on the Tonle Sap, go into the countryside and see the Ladies Temple and the amazing land mine museum. And of course if you need restaurant recommendations- and a tuktuk to get there , of course that is arranged too. I can’t praise the hotel highly enough - it isn’t 5 star international - it is better than that. A personal experience that caters to all your needs whilst also being aware of the environment- little or no plastic , recycle where possible. I have stayed in a lot of hotels around Asia and I really recommend you to Sala Lodges.
