Meas Family Homestay

This was the highlight of our travels through Cambodia. Linda and her family are incredible hosts. Very comfortable room, peaceful property, and DELICIOUS food. We loved our bike ride around the local village, but the most special part was learning more about Cambodian culture from Linda and the break from city/tourist chaos. We can’t wait to go back one day.

Fantastic property and location in the middle of the countryside, enjoyed walking around the property and learning about all the fruit trees and views of rice fields

Beds were very firm

Une expérience inoubliable !!! Cette homestay est un véritable coup de cœur😁 La famille est merveilleuse, d'une grande gentillesse et extrêmement attachante. On se sent accueilli comme un membre de la famille. Le cadre est tout simplement magnifique, avec de superbes paysages et la possibilité de faire de belles balades à vélo au milieu des rizières ou de rejoindre le marché local à vélo. Mais ce qui rend ce lieu vraiment unique, ce sont les moments partagés avec cette famille exceptionnelle et la découverte de leur magnifique projet communautaire! Une expérience profondément humaine, authentique et enrichissante. Je recommande cette homestay les yeux fermés !

RIEN!

L'accueil familial adorable, la cuisine excellente, le lieu si paisible...un vrai havre de paix où il fait bon se détendre et se régaler. Merci !

The whole family were lovely and looked after my every need. The home cooked food was fabulous. It was in the middle of the country...the sounds, the smells, the wildlife, wonderful.

The first bungalow was sooo hot with no a/c just a fan. Couldn't sleep or get cool. I was moved to one with ac 👍

Une parenthèse enchantée chez Linda qui est une personne exceptionnelle. Les repas sont compris , copieux et délicieux fait majoritairement avec les produits de la ferme . Prêt de vélo pour découvrir la campagne Cambodgienne Visite de l'école ou enseigne Linda l'après-midi ainsi que l'atelier de tissage qui permet aux femmes de travailler . Un séjour authentique avec un accueil chaleureux, les cambodgiens sont des pures merveilles Merci encore Linda and see you in november !

Tout était plus que parfait !

Linda ist eine außergewöhnliche Gastgeberin. Sie ist überaus umsichtig, sie unterstützt perfekt bei den Ausflügen ins ländliche Kambodscha sowie bei der An- und Abreise. Sie ist umsichtig und sehr kundig bei Fragen rund um das Alltagsleben in Kambodscha. Und sie ist eine sehr gute Köchin. Unsere Empfehlung: Unbedingt auch die Baumwollweberei im direkter Nachbarschaft des Guesthouse besuchen. Auch hier an Linda wenden! Ein weiterer Vorteil: Vom Guesthouse aus ist man komfortabel mit dem Taxi in knapp einer Stunde am neuen Flughafen von Phnom Penh.

Almost everything.

I would have liked shower gel or soap in the bathroom.

Séjour mémorable au côté de Linda et sa famille. Tout était parfait. Nous recommandons chaudement.

Quelle famille cambodgienne A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E, en particulier Linda qui nous a merveilleusement accueillis. Et avec la pension complète comprise dans le prix, nous avons bénéficié d’excellents plats cambodgiens préparés avec des produits frais. Excellent point de chute pour aller visiter la région et en particulier le Chiso Mountain Temple. Linda organise facilement les trajets. Nous garderons aussi un merveilleux souvenir des enfants de sa classe d’anglais. Top, UN GRAND MERCI

We loved everything about our stay here. The location is quiet, green, in a village full of nice locals. Linda is an amazing host, we felt really welcome at her an her family's home. The meals she cooked for us were the best we had in Cambodia. It's a great place to stay if you want to explore the Takeo region. It's authentic, not visited by too many tourists yet.

We loved everything :)

We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again soon. It was a nice break from the busy city. Linda the host is amazing and very hospitable. The food was also super tasty! Thank you Linda!

Un hotel muy tranquilo y bien cuidado. Su dueña cocina estupendamente y te incluye pensión completa por un precio muy bueno

Por decir algo, la cama puede ser excesivamente dura

Quel bonheur pour d'avoir terminé nos 2 mois au Cambodge par ces 5 nuits avec la famille Meas. Leur homestay est tout simplement fabuleux ! Linda et ses parents vous accueillent dans des bungalows privatifs spacieux et ils préparent pour vous les repas (inclus dans le prix) en les adaptant si besoin à vos envies. Presque tout ce que vous mangez ici provient du jardin ou de leurs champs (riz, légumes, herbes aromatiques,...et les poules). Les repas, préparés devant vous dans la cuisine extérieure, sont délicieux et très copieux. Des vélos sont à disposition pour parcourir la campagne environnante. Et pour aller un peu plus loin, voir les temples ou aller à l’aéroport, aucun souci, Linda s’occupe pour vous du tuk tuk ou du taxi. Ici tout est calme, appaisé. Slow life cambodgienne assurée. Mais il y a plus. Il y a leur joyeuse école d'anglais et d'informatique pour les enfants des alentours. Il y a les ateliers manuels de tissage pour perpétuer une tradition Khmer. Il y a la production de savons naturels. Tout prend sens. Tout s’imbrique. Vous êtes au coeur d’un fabuleux projet tenu par une famille extraordinaire. La région de Takeo n’est pas la plus touristique et pourtant c’est ici, aux portes de Doun Kaev que s’étirent en toutes saisons, jusqu’au Vietnam, d’immenses rizières avec leur canaux et leurs lacs. Siem Reap, Kampot, Koh Rong ...et Takeo au Meas family homestay.

Un petit détail qui peut être embétant si vous arrivez par vos propres moyens : sur Google, vous trouverez 2 localisations. Le point " Meas family homestay", perdu au mileu de nul part, a été mal positionné à l’origine. Linda a dû créer un nouveau point avec un autre nom : "Cambodian homestay". C’est la bonne localisation.

L'ambiance qui se dégage de ce lieu est magique. Cadre idyllique. Repas très bons et vélos prêtés pour se balader dans la campagne environnante. Linda et sa tante sont deux femmes très gentilles et avec qui on peut échanger facilement.

Tout est très bien !

Quiet and welcoming

Nothing !

Ein absoluter Höhepunkt unserer Reise. Linda und ihre Familie sind grosszügige und liebevolle Gastgeber, die einem jeden Wunsch erfüllen. Die Lage ist wunderschön in einem ländlichen Gebiet. Wir genossen das herrliche Essen mit frischen, lokalen Zutaten. Linda hat für uns Touren nach Angkor Borei und Phnom Chisor organisiert, und als unser Zug nach Phnom Penh ausgefallen war, hat sie uns in wenigen Minuten einen Transport vermittelt. Wir sind sehr dankbar, eine so wunderbare Familie kennengelernt zu haben. Die Familie engagiert sich auch stark in der Förderung der lokalen Gemeinschaft. Wir besuchten die Weberei und die Schule, welche den Kindern zusätzlich zur öffentlichen Schule Kurse anbietet, zum Beispiel in Englisch und IT.

Linda and her family were incredibly kind and caring. Linda cooked three delicious meals a day. The Tom Yum Soup was honestly the best I’ve ever had, made with fresh vegetables and herbs from her own farm! She also kindly arranged pickup and drop-off, as well as a half-day TukTuk tour to Chisor Temple at my request. The peaceful garden, with adorable cats and chickens, made the stay even more special. I also enjoyed watching the weaving process and purchasing the beautiful handmade products. Linda is so smart and I truly enjoyed our conversations. I can’t thank you enough. I truly hope to come back someday!

At night, I was a bit nervous about the sounds I heard, but they were all natural and reminded me of the incredible life and energy of nature.

Family were so welcoming and friendly. Great food. Really authentic.

Was very hard to find

We felt so welcomed by Linda and her family. She went out her way to prepare amazing home cooked local foods for us, which were all included in the stay. So generous. Linda also helped us know what was good to see around the local area, and organise transport. The room was relatively basic but clean and comfortable.

Nothing!

This place is an oasis. Beautiful located in the countryside, far away from any traffic noise. But the at this homestay is Linda and her parents. Wonderful people with a great hospitality. They speak perfectly English. After 4 days in Phnom Penh this was a well earned retreat. I‘ll come back if I get the opportunity

WiFi was weak. But actually that was good, too.

It was an honor and privilege to be guest of the Meas family. Linda is so thoughtful, knowledgeable, hardworking and an excellent cook. Phonn and Oun, mom and dad, are so kind and welcoming. Phonn brought us our first dinner, Banh Chheo, the savory crepe that took a lot of effort to prepare. Next door to the homestay is a small one-room school and a weaving centre producing beautiful quality pure cotton products such as scarves, kitchen towels, table runners… Very quiet and peaceful place. Highly recommended

This is an exceptional place and what makes it so is the warm, welcoming, and lovely family. Our host,Linda, speaks perfect English and so communication is easy. Our bungalow was spacious and comfortable. The price included delicious meals. Linda graciously let me watch her cook and helped teach me how to prepare several local dishes. We rode bikes in the surrounding countryside, made an excursion to the local market and a nearby temple complex, but what was best was the relaxing time we spent in the family compound. We extended our stay several days and could have stayed longer. Our time there added a very special memory to our Cambodia travels.

It was perfect.

Staying here was one of the highlights of our three week trip to Cambodia. We hadn’t been sure about coming but had wanted a taste of the countryside and we are so glad that we did come. The setting is rural and beautiful and there is lovely walking/cycling along quiet lanes, populated by occasional small houses, little farm holdings, with fields with cows in, and rice and growing. The homestay is run by Linda who was incredibly friendly and welcoming and speaks brilliant English and we could not have been better looked after. The food was out of this world delicious and plentiful and three meals were included in the price of the accommodation for one night so it was an incredible bargain, we thought. There is lots to do, such as looking at the local weaving initiative (which makes lovely scarves and tea towels, and generate money for older women and sending local children to universities.) The rooms were comfortable and spacious and the shower had lots of hot water. This place is really worth a visit!

Linda is an incredible host. She will welcome you in the best possible way, whether in a magnificent setting or for her excellent cuisine. An unmissable stop that you will not regret for a second! A thousand thanks Linda!

We felt very welcome, really at home. The farm is a fabulous place to enjoy the Cambodian countryside. The meals were with local products and delicious. They supported us with transport to our following destination.

Difficult to find, narrow dirty road to reach the property.

My friend and I loved our time with the Meas Family! It was restful, the food was exceptional and the family were so lovely and kind. We loved staying at the property and learning how to make soap and cook with Linda. We also enjoyed Hammocking and playing with the cats!

The family were welcoming, helpful and showed me around the farm explaining the different varieties of mango they grow, and outlining the soap making process. The included dinner and breakfast were terrific and included fresh picked mango. The room had a couch out on a big porch for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful atmosphere of the farm. When I arrived they had a large bottle of cold water ready for me which was true trail magic after hours of riding bike in the afternoon sun.

The WiFi connection was a bit weak in my room but worked fine from the common area.

Very helpful family. Went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable.

Out in the country so there were insects, bats, lizards and other creatures around/in the room.

Linda is a wonderful host. Her and her family made me feel very welcome. She organised a Tuk Tuk to pick me up at the train station and bring me to the property as well as a trip to Phnom Da. She included two wonderful meals which so far are the best meals I’ve had in Cambodia. Great place to get off the beaten track. Just wish I could have stayed longer.

Out in the country side

Nothing

We loved everything about this place; the friendly family, Linda's fabulous cooking, the quiet paddy fields and help organising a day tour.

Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Everything The family is so nice! Food is really good and the room is great

A amazing moment in the Cambodian campaign after the noise and pollution of Phnom Penh. Linda is a great hosts and an excellent cook.

Of course, it is in the middle of nowhere so you need to be aware of this.

The home cooked meals were amazing!!

Right in the middle of the paddy fields way out in the countryside, I arrived at this place without any expectations at all. What I found was a lovely garden with exceptionally well equipped and spacious bungalows with furnished balconies. Everything was spotlessly clean. It's run by a young lady who speaks perfect English, and I really mean perfect. The common areas are so spacious and nice. This is the only place in the area which is on Booking.com, and when I booked, I thought it was a bit pricey, but it's NOT. The rate includes all meals, and the food is superb and plenty. Beers and cold drinks were for sale too and they helped me book onward transport. Tuk Tuks around here are not nearly as greedy as they are in the touristy areas.

The WiFi situation needs improvement.

Linda and her family were lovely and excellent hosts. The homestay is a great location to get away from busier areas and relax. Nice to walk around the local countryside, and Libda was also able to provide us with good advice and help for other things to do. Great value fir money with home cooked meals.

Linda is a very nice host. She speaks english very well. We had a nice evening With her. She coocked a good dinner for us. We are her very thankful

Located in Takéo province at the outskirts of Angk Ta Saom and a few hundred meters away of the highway 22, this homestay is a gem, having warmly welcoming owners and consisting of several buildings in different styles surrounded by many green plants. Linda and her parents, the owners of the homestay, are very kind and caringly see to you feeling comfortable by taking the time to have a humorous chat with you, serving delicious meals they prepare in their outside kitchen area and offering help whenever needed.

Linda and family are excellent hosts. The food is amazing and plenty of it. I have stayed many times now on my way to Kampot and back to PP. I highly recommend Meas Family Homestay.

Friendly people, good food, clean and neat rooms.

Nothing

The Meas Family homestay is a special place with special people. Linda and her family are so kind and generous - they open up their property to you; it will feel like home. The best things about staying here are (1) Linda's cooking. It is some of the best we've had on our trip and all the meals she makes are inclusive to all palettes while still representing Cambodian cuisine. (2) The chance to get a feel for Cambodian life off the tourist track. Highly recommend this as a place to relax outside of the city, chat with a local family about their culture, or to break up the drive between Phnom Penh and Kampot. Thank you Linda & Meas Family for an amazing stay!

Such an amazing place! We stayed for two nights and had the BEST time relaxing, riding bikes, seeing the weaving program, and getting to know Linda. 10/10 would recommend!!

A fantastic home stay with Linda and her family being very welcoming to their lovely home, and great food too!

Nothing

Great welcoming, by Linda & family. Place is just what I hoped for - remote, quiet, personal. Dinner exceeded expectations, company did to. Happy to recommend and return!

Wonderful warm family welcome. I was sad to leave! Peaceful village location.

Nothing!

If you come here, be prepared for a warm welcome, the most friendly people, smiles all day long, fantastic food, nice conversations with thé family. This is the kind of place you just never want to leave.

The food was delicious, the property and surrounding were peaceful, the dogs were playful, but above all Linda and her family were so welcoming and hospitable.

It was a little hot the day we stayed but it’s the hot season so to be expected:)
