Battambang Resort

We had a great stay at Battambang Resort—an excellent hotel with a peaceful setting just outside the town. The pool was clean and perfect for cooling off, and the rooms were spacious and well-maintained. We stayed in both garden and lakeview rooms, and would definitely recommend going for the lakeview if available—much nicer outlook and atmosphere. The restaurant staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was tasty. A small note: portions at lunch and dinner could be a little more generous. We also had a minor issue with electricity in one room, but it was fixed very quickly by the staff, which we appreciated. A lovely bonus for families was the mini golf course—our kids loved it, and we ended up playing three times! As for Battambang town itself, we weren’t hugely inspired by it, so wouldn’t recommend spending too long there. The resort, however, was a real highlight—calm, welcoming, and a great place to relax. Would definitely recommend for families or anyone wanting a quieter base with great service.

Everything about the resort is comfortable and stylish - the room, the gorgeous pool, the grounds and the owners, who are wonderfully warm and welcoming and around to chat with. The front desk staff was also incredibly helpful with granular tips for things to see and do. We found the restaurant food better than we usually expect in hotels and happily ate dinner there a couple nights rather than go into town. Basically, we enjoyed every minute at Battambang Resort and would just as happily return..

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their English is very good which makes it easy to organise trips and tours plus you can charge tuk tuk costs back to your room and they will organise these for you. Our driver was fabulous and gave us a lot of information about the history of the area. The food was delicious with an extensive, value for money menu. We ate all of our meals in Battambang at the resort restaurant and no dish disappointed. In fact the Fish Amok was the best out of three I had in Cambodia - it was divine. A lot of past reviewers have mentioned the breakfast - we would agree, the buffet is not great. But, if you ask for the menu items, e.g. omelette, or the soup they are lovely. The gardens are just beautiful and I took many photos of the flowers. I had a chat with a staff member who said that the owner was a great employer who treated the staff very well taking them on trips and ensuring that tips were shared with all staff - not just those front-of-house. It was lovely to know this and hear that staff are genuinely happy. As mentioned by another reviewer the missing pool tiles do need to be replaced as they could cut someone and it's not a good look. I was surprised at some of the negative reviews I read here because we would not hesitate to stay at Battambang Resort again.

Everything was amazing from the staff, to the decoration, the room and the environment. The hotel staff can arrange for you everything (circus, tuktuk, taxi). You also have one free way to the city center with tuktuk. They also take great care of you and help you if you need assistance to plan your day in battambang. The restaurant and breakfast are extremely good, specially the khmer food (try the nom ban chok). Probably the best hotel i ever visited.

Beautiful peaceful setting, lovely pool, lovely food and the most helpful and friendly staff- arranging tuk tuks, trips and onward taxi- the staff really are so nice and kind. We were in a gorgeous lakeside villa . We only ate in once - our last night - and it was all set up beautifully by the pool and was the nicest food we had in Battambang . Cycled to gecko cafe and gift shop a km away which was also lovely . Did usual bats,circus and bamboo train which were all great , but the best thing was relaxing by the pool.
