White Rose Guesthouse

Big comfortable double bed in the heart of the village right on the beach, towels provided and a wardrobe.

The bathroom was very unhygienic, was so so smelly and wet constantly. NO SINK? Only a tap which goes straight onto the floor, no toilet paper, soap or anything. Really not worth the price.

Value for money

Location and really good bbq for 5$ incl one beer.

Good location

The room very very bad. Not clean. Facilities not enough for use.

Good food

Room clean

Great value of price, cheap accomodation but great location

Staff not friendly

Good location.

We booked a room with a fan but the electricity went off at times so we were sweating so much during the night when we didn’t have any ventilation. Both of the toilets had no toilet seat, and they don’t refill toilet paper or soap.

- Unclean bathrooms and bedrooms, found dead cockroaches when we first entered our room. - One night we had no water at all, couldn’t shower. - Bedbugs - Rude staff Overall an unpleasant stay.

After the initial first 2 very poor nights in the bungalow, we moved to the main guesthouse where our overall experience was greatly improved. We had a double room with a comfy bed which was a great size and we watched the room get properly cleaned before we entered. Free water refills and the 10% discount off food in the restaurant was appreciated. The staff were always working their socks off and were kind to help whenever we had any questions. Would recommend booking the main guesthouse!

Do not let the below information put you off staying at white rose, but take mine and the previous reviews advice and do not stay in the bungalows (until they are sorted out at least)! - 1st day, brown water which tinted our white exfoliating gloves that we had to throw away. - 2nd day, no running water what so ever - dirty bathroom. Black marks all up the walls, toothpaste and water splash backs on the mirror and mould next to the sink. - broken kettle and dust filled dirty fan. - cockroach - gaps and holes in the whole bungalow letting in mosquitos and insects. Mosquito net over the bed is too small for the bed and leaves a huge gap, so defeats it’s job and I ended up with 34 bites on the first night because of this. - broken and ripped chair on balcony, rusty and dirty hammock. - whole area surrounding the bungalows is used as a trash bin by the locals nearby. - bungalows are a 5 minute uphill walk and nowhere near the guesthouse. - wifi didn’t connect after multiple attempts - no hairdryers The bungalows and the surrounding area needs a clean, renovation and spruce up to make the bungalows worth their price. However, they do have a lot of potential. Once we moved to the main guesthouse we also experienced 4+ hours worth of power cut one morning which was completely unbearable in the heat. Apparently it was the first one in 7 weeks since the island connected their electricity to the main land so we just got unlucky, but just bare this in mind that as soon as the aircon goes off, get out of the room asap! We also didn’t receive any housekeeping during our whole stay, so be prepared to ask reception for fresh towels and toilet paper etc when you need it.

Quiet and comfortable bed

Water stopped working on our first night, water next day was brown and unusable. Electricity stopped working on our second night so fan/air-con wouldn’t work. Very hot and uncomfortable in room as a result.

You are not too far from the beach and the pier - only a few minutes from everything. The bed was foamy and comfy. There was a hammock on the balcony and the bird sounds were amazing. They let us check in early which was nice.

I feel really guilty writing this review but this place is the worst place we have stayed in South East Asia. The surrounding area to the bungalows is filled with trash, there is a huge pile of broken chairs next to a seating area. There is rubbish everywhere especially on the pathway up. Also lots of abandoned construction stuff everywhere too and bin bags just tossed behind the bungalows. Our water stopped working (this was fixed but it was coming out brown for a while) and our toilet didn’t flush the whole time. We could hear everything in the bungalow next to us (including arguments - although that’s not the hotel’s fault) you can hear roosters, dogs and children crying all through the night and the LOUDEST geckos ever (this did make us laugh and can’t be helped) I don’t know what’s going on with the staff in here, they seem really tired/ overworked. It is a busy place but the service feels unfriendly and the people seem exhausted.

staff disponibile

Very unclean shared bathrooms , cockroaches in our room , the room was like a sauna even with the fan on

Wasn’t beachfront, was a 6 minute walk away up a hill in the trees. Sand everywhere. No furniture inside or outside. Power cuts constantly and lack of water.

Value

Bungalow further than shown in the location. Electricity jumps often. Hard Climb to the bangalow.

Great room, excellent location, very clean ND comfortable. Great restaurant too. Highly recommend 🙏👌

Nice restaurant and good AC

The toilets were weird, the water were yellow (also in the sink) and when we came to the room it was full of send

so close to the beach, room was very big and air conditioning was perfect, lovely delicious restaurant downstairs and the staff are so helpful

Location only

No toilet seats, shared bathrooms dirty and mouldy, The water is filthy, BROWN water for showers and sinks at times.

Was ok

Electric cut out no water no clean stuff no room cleaning Food service shocking , food was bad for the value wouldn’t stay there ever again For two days in a row they where burning plastic and cat poo by my room and was coming into my air con First day no water and other people poo was coming up into my toilet Second day electricity was cut off for 4 hours no air con They tried to add dollars upon dollars into our food bill daily ( took off when corrected )

Great location right on the parade. decent size room and restaurant did good food

Rooms smelt and bathroom flooded, power cut off multiple times a day meaning AC didn’t work or hot water

The location of the guesthouse was great, right in the middle of the main village, close to the peer. We stayed in a Double Fan Room, which felt like a sauna at times but was comfortable enough. We really appreciated the 10% discount, that you get in their restaurant.

The bathroom facilities were rather poor and could have been cleaner. As well as that, the staff was sort of rude sometimes and seemed to be kind of inattentive.

Bungalow very big and spacious! Very comfy and nice view all the way up in the hills. A bit of a walk but not that bad at all. We ate at the restaurant everyday, food always delicious. Great location and good value for money too. Def would stay again :) no complains.

The location is very good, the rooms are okay and there is free water in the hallway. It’s really cheap, so you get your money’s worth.

The bathrooms aren’t very clean and smell like food because of the kitchen next to it. Some employees could be a bit nicer/welcoming.

Nice restaurant and lovely, friendly staff

The beds were sandy when we arrived. The showers didn’t work 3/5 times I tried them. The lights, AC, and charging ports were all connected centrally, so when we went to turn off the lights, everything went off - we ended up having to sleep with blinding lights on.

The bed was comfy. Room was a decent size. Nice shower

The surrounding areas - bungalows are in the garden of local people. Rubbish everywhere. No fault of the hotel itself, but lack of sleep due to dogs barking / howling all night and chickens co cooking. Regular power and water cuts.

Comfortable beds and good location. Good restaurant and reasonable price.

Bathroom had no sink, drains stunk, multiple powercuts all day and night so aircon didnt work at all.

Perfect location in the middle of everything (beach,restaurants and shops) but still managed to get good night sleeps even though being a light sleeper. We meant to stay here 3 nights but as the room was comfortable we decided to stay a bit longer on this beautiful island. We had some issues on the first night but got resolved quickly - the staff/ management is nice and easy to deal with. Great option if you are on the budget. Clean, comfortable room and hot shower.

Only downside was that the bathroom had no sink which is odd but managable.

Clean nice bungalow, no insects were getting inside, we didn’t even have to use a net.

Good place, good discount, rooms are ok good value. Good staff.

The bathroom are a bit old fashion backpacker style, there was no hot water

Nice to finally find a good old no frills budget room where you don't have to pay for more than you need. It's a budget place though and pretty basic, but excellent for the price. The common bathroom was kept clean throughout the day. The restaurant has excellent food at good prices. You might find things on the menu which you have been crawling if you have travelled for a long time. Cheapest beer on the island as well. You get a discount on food and drinks when you are staying there. The guest house is right in the most happening part of town. Good WiFi.

Frequent electricity cuts and the fans need cleaning.

Nice!

The view, and windows

The bathroom is outdated; I realize it’s typical bathroom in Cambodia to combine shower with toilet - but a separate shower area, as well as more sink countertop space to put my cosmetics, would have really help to make it more convenient. Also the common front ‘yard’ that is a big empty space as you go downhill leaving the bungalows, is pretty trashy to walk down hill - while I realize this might not be White Rose’s front yard, if the neighborhood could do something to clean up the trash in that open area, it would make the experience much better walking to/from the bungalow.

The staff were exceptional, location was perfect and the bungalow was spacious and clean. Very comfortable stay and great value for money

Nothing

Bad very bad

Super Restaurant great good under the hotel. 10%. Discount for guests, Rooms were basic, but for the price no problem. Location, right on the pier fir easy access to food, bike hire and the beach. Beach is not to bad, and quite clean

Power cuts, but no fault of the Hotel.. Island wide, and makes sleeping unbearable when power goes out in the night

location, and food from the restaurant

I got heaps of bed bug bites all over

The staff were very helpful and friendly at check in and throughout. The room was right above the restaurant (the best on the island we found) and only a minutes walk away from all local shops and the beach. The shared bathrooms were always clean. Although there was no AC, the fan was strong enough to keep us cool at night.

This isn’t a problem with the property itself, as it happened all over the island. Every day, the electricity and water would go off for a few hours, which meant the fan would stop working and the room was too hot. We stayed for six nights and it didn’t bother us too much as we were out, but just something to keep in mind.

White rose is a fantastic establishment and the staff were brilliant - the restaurant is probably the best on the island and we ate there several times

The room was unbearably hot and with just a fan it was a very sleepless stay - cleaning lady did not provide any more toilet paper when we ran out and when I asked her wasn’t very helpful

good value for money. staff were super friendly and helpful. would highly recommend

so comfortable and nice

the water in the bathroom didn’t go properly after a shower so we have a overwater

great location along the beach front. restaurant downstairs was really good too, and they offer 10% discount for guests

room was quite warm with only a standard fan, there was no option for any air conditioned rooms. Common area could do with some more seats

nothing

rude staff, music blaring from next door till 1am, you won’t sleep.

The location was great and the room was really good. Felt clean and safe. Very nice staff

No ac in the room, but they have fans that work pretty well. We had a cockroach in our room once but they helped us get it out

Great Value for money. Restaurant food was fantastic. Location was perfect

No AC but the fan was strong enough to keep me cool throughout the night

l’ubicacio i l’habitacio estaven genial

I will highly recommend White Rose to everyone going to Koh Rong; the location is perfect and the staff is amazing. I felt like home in the week I stayed there. Would definetely come back.

treehouse feeling

wifi was very sporadic/non-existent. also woke up with no water two days in a row

great location, close to the beach and the pier. decent food served in the restaurant at a good price

with only a fan to cool the room it got very warm of an evening and was hard to sleep. mattress was super hard and uncomfortable. could do with a thick curtain to block out the light on a morning as the blinds used let a lot of light in waking you up quite early

This hotel is a basic place to stay if on a budget and the location is excellent. The food in the restaurant was good.

Checking in and checking out took a very long time. The room wasn’t ready despite arriving hours past the check in time. The rooms had no air con just a fan but this was fine.

Location was good, helpful staff

Really dirty bathroom

Location is perfect, they clean the common toilets several times a day, staff is so kind, the restaurant is the best one in town and the cheaper ! We were supposed to stay two nights, but we stayed 7 nights !!

Fantastic restaurant downstairs, corridor and bathroom very clean.good WiFi. Great value

Fan in room needed cleaning

Great location and restaurant is extremely well priced below :) Communal toilets very clean!

Room was extremely dark and faced another building. Room was small and had no aircon so got stuffy very quickly. Bass/music from below restaurant on until 11pm normally each night - lovely staff :)

Perfect location, great food and stuff.

All good

Friendly, helpful & efficient

Location Restaurant menu

Good food. Good location.

No mosquito net.

Budget accommodation, very near to the ferry pier and all the action. As a result some medium level noise may be heard. Recommended if you are a budget traveller and don’t mind shared WC and shower.

Low to medium level noise although it was expected and acceptable.

Amazing location, right on the beach. Food was lovely. Staff were friendly

Room doesn’t get cleaned for the duration of your stay

The room was super big and location insane

The aircon was broken once but we fixed it so it was fine

Great location just off the pier, right on the beach. Nice restaurant under the rooms. good shower. A little worn down, room was a bit damp smelling, fan was good.

Little bit run down and damp

central and on top of our favorite restaurant on the island, worth the price and easy access from the pier

got a room with a window to the next building with a see through curtain

Staff were really friendly and always help when asked. The restaurant is great value for the island and good food. Room was clean even if it was a bit rough.

There was a bit of a funky smell but I'm hearing that it's a lot of places on the island I think it might be the old buildings but this is minor and goes after a short while
