    A beautiful location in a charming little fishing village , perfect for rest and relaxation. The rooms are simple but clean and have the essentials you need. Every morning the owner made me a great coffee, and in the evenings his wife prepared the best vegetable soup. For exploring the island, it’s ideal to rent a scooter — you can do so right upon arrival at Longset Pier, and if you don’t have too much luggage, you can head straight to the guesthouse. Overall, I truly recommend this place

    Amazing experience! Love the boats coming in and out of the river and Epic Sunrise and View! Sweet Family who runs the place! Hon was an Excellent host and the kids were a delight to play with! Kayaking around the point and upriver at Sunrise was a High Point in my trip! Food was Delicious!

    This is on the pricier side in terms of Cambodia and Koh Rong, but it’s so worth it. All about the location here, a fishing village in the north of the Island away from the chaos. It’s stunning. Rooms are also large with great bathrooms and a surprisingly awesome shower. Food is fantastic and I couldn’t tell you a more beautiful place I’d stayed. Stay here.

    Amazing hidden part of the island. The view from the guesthouse is spectacular. The life here is chill and slow its easy to spend the whole day just reading relaxing on the terrace. But you can find great activities in the area like kayaking and a few great beaches. The owners are really nice and the food is home made really tasty food.

    The only issue we had were some of the guests were smoking weed and while we are open minded about this, the smell was overpowering and the silly behaviour from said guests was irritating. Go somewhere else to have a smoke please!

    The location and chilled out vibe were a real treat. Don't stay here expecting a 5 star experience. Enjoy the laid back vibe and beautiful location, have a swim, hire a scooter and eat the food cooked in-house. Fantastic

    Such a magical and special place, everything in this guesthouse is made with love, the outdoor area, the food, the atmosphere. Hun and his family are lovely and always helpful. I spent more than a week here and every day when I came back from exploring I felt like I had returned home. It's peaceful, the view is breathtaking and I can look at it for hours. Prek Svay is such a small, beautiful village, I would love to stay longer. The secluded beach is a 40 minute walk from here and you can get back by motorcycle cab. The beds are so comfortable, I slept very well. The only thing I suggest is to renew the bunkbeds in the dorm as they are quite loud. Thank you Hun&family for a wonderful time in a special place 🫶🏼 I wish you all the best!

    Be aware that the if there is more wind/higher waves that during high tide some water can come through the wooden floor. The wooden footbridge to the house needs some renewal.

    The place above the beach/sea and the view from there are very beautiful. The food was very good. The owner kind and supportive. The room was big and sufficient.

    It is sad to see that the nearby beach areas have so much rubbish washed up on the shoreline - it seems there is less investment in cleaning up of less touristy areas.

    Beautiful location with a great deck area to relax and soak in the views, as well as enjoy the sunrise over the sea. The hosts were very friendly & the food delicious. We enjoyed visiting Lonely Beach during the day, a lovely quiet beach which is within walking distance (around 40 mins).

    This is the best hostel I've stayed at in Cambodia! The owners are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The area is very peaceful, providing a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. And the food – it's simply the best I've tasted in Cambodia! Highly recommend staying here

    not maybe people but the people you do meet are awesome

    awesome location with an amazing view, especially for sunrise, the absolute best. The food is okay so I would eat maybe somewhere else. The dorms were good value and although no ac it was cool enough with a fan and good mosquito net. the owner is the absolute coolest, and a very interesting guy, so definitely spend some time talking to him. he also has the best music and good reviews

    Everything. The view from the balcony when I arrived with the tide out was incredible. For someone who doesn't really care about the view from my accom here was on another level. Could sit there for ages just looking out at the water. The food from the ressie was so good, Walking around the village was amazing, even coming across an otter on the narrow road. The room was big and even tho there is no air cond or hot water it didnt make any difference. Tho it was cool at night and so hot during the day that hot water wasnt needed. Am sure will definitely come back.

    The location and the staff was just awesome. The rooms are very cute, right above the water. One has to know that the rooms are basic (as most of the accommodations are on the island). However if you can live without an AC then this place is just the right one for you as it offers a cozy outside space and a view you cannot miss.

    Nothing. It was all great

    Oh what a beautiful place this was. We stayed in both the dorm and the private room and it was just wonderful. The location on top of the water with fantastic views, the relax area, the comfy beds, the bucket shower, the coffee and the always changing but almost always positive and friendly people around made it really extra special. The internet was also good enough for working and there’s a delish cheapish restaurant nearby.

    I guess the only thing is that the Wi-Fi stopped working after 2 days. But when the Wi-Fi was working it was really good. A great place to work remotely while watching the sea.

    Firefly guesthouse is absolutely beautiful. I planned on only staying two nights, but kept extending. This is a place you don’t want to leave. Waking up at the riverside, having a swim and just watching the boats go by.. absolute bliss. The owner and his family are also so friendly and accommodating, and the food is so good and fresh. They also can make their dishes vegan. This is the perfect place is you want somewhere to just relax and take it all in. Really loved it there!

    Prices for food and drink are a little high, but I understand it because of the remote place.

    First of all the staff and family are always available to help. Incredible view for sunrise and sunset. Sleeping over the water was so peaceful, nice rooms and the deck is the main star of the place to meet people and to relax.

    You can't really believe how beautiful the view is from the terrace here. You can just sit and watch the local boats coming and going! Nice location, out of the way, and very quiet. The staff and locals are very friendly, there are a few other shops and food places nearby. The food at firefly is excellent and well priced. Lonely beach is 45 mins walk away, and really worth the trip. Beautiful and virtually.deserted. When you book a room, the manager will send you details of how to get to the village and offer you three options. I chose the village supply boat from Sihanoukville. This costs $7.50 and is a great way to arrive. The supply boat motors past Firefly, then you have a 5 minute walk back. The supply boat leaves from Pier 52 outside the Main Por.t, about 2 KM and 6000 Riel in Tuk Tuk .

    The location is a bit out of the way, with Lonely beach being at least a 40 minute walk. Aside from that all good.

    Lovely view, very quiet and has tasty food and places to chill out. Receptionist was very helpful.

    Cozy authentique place in the North of the island

    Rooms are basic, which is fine, but with really a little effort could be better. Light in the room is extremely low, which is not the best when you like reading. But you can read outside of course...

    Authentic wooden house on the water in a traditional fishing village in the north of the island. Cozy atmosphere, everything made out of wood. Nice view on the sea. Kayak available for free. Nice staff. Scooters also available for renting and it's probably the best way to explore the island. Close to Lonely Beach, a stunning beach with also lot of shade (10 minutes by scooter or 1 hour walking). Food was traditional, simple but good. The place is super quiet at night, with nothing to do closeby, which we really enjoyed. But if you're more a party type it's probably not your place since going to the main village in the south take about half an hour and at night feels even more.
