Lazy Mango Home Stay

On a beaucoup aimé l’accueil de la famille d’Harry et la cuisine de sa sœur. On conseille d’y rester dîner le soir. On a bien aimé le tour dans la région nord avec Harry, qui a beaucoup d’anecdotes à raconter. La visite du marché avec lui était particulièrement un bon moment.

Une piste d’amélioration : rajouter une table, des chaises et des rangements dans la chambre

We (@gus_y_dani) stayed at this homestay during our trip around Asia, which has now been going on for five months, and honestly, it was one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve had so far. It was the first time in Asia that we felt so comfortable with a local family, almost as if we were at home. The place is run by a lovely elderly couple. The owner is very kind, open-minded, generous, and always happy to talk about anything. Every day he would bring us something: bananas, mangoes, pineapple, or some local food to try. His wife was also wonderful with us; she often cooked something and shared it with us in such a natural and kind way. Best Muslim food!! The whole family was very welcoming. They have six children, and during our stay we had the chance to meet three of them. Harry organizes tuk-tuk tours, their daughter runs a café on the same street where you can have very good coffee and delicious iced tea, and another son was also very kind to us. Soon we will also meet a fourth son, who has a restaurant in another city that we are planning to visit. It is really beautiful to see such a united, simple, and genuine family. As for the accommodation, we stayed in the wooden house upstairs and felt very comfortable. There was a good mosquito net, so we never had any problems with mosquitoes or insects at night. We opened the windows, slept with natural air, and rested very well. During the hottest months, it might be difficult to sleep with only a fan, as they also explained to us, but there is also an air-conditioned option at a reasonable price. So I recommend checking the season and choosing the room that suits you best. Overall, we highly recommend this place. We didn’t expect to feel so good here, and if we had had more time, we would have loved to stay much longer. An authentic, family-style experience full of kindness. We will carry this place in our hearts.

The whole family was great! I have stay incl. breakfast and both my days I had dinner in accommodation too and both were very delicious. The room was quit, modestly furnished but exactly what I wanted from this kind of accommodation.

This is the best homestay I’ve stayed in, in 3 months of travelling SEA. The family are some of the loveliest people I have ever met and they all go above and beyond to be hospitable. Harry, who runs the homestay is also a tuk tuk driver and offers reasonably priced tours of battambang, his english is near perfect and he’s got a wealth of information to give. Overall, I loved this place and will be back to stay when I revisit Cambodia.

Very friendly and welcoming hosts. They picked us up from the bus station when we arrived, so it's no bother at all being a little way out of town. We had a day tuk tuk tour around Battambang countryside with Sam, including the bamboo train, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Seeing the bats was the highlight of our trip so far. We had a family meal with them, which was delicious and it was really fun chatting and laughing with them (Harry and Sam speak very good English).

The family was very nice and many of them spoke good English. They offered us tea and bananas every day, supported us with a free tuk-tuk transfer from the bus station and bought bus tickets for us. It was possible to attend a family dinner (6 USD/person) and they also offered a city tour of Battambang (30 USD/day). The room was very basic, but the air conditioning worked well. Possible to rent bike and scooter as well.

The location is about a 30 minute walk from the city center. There is no real bed, just a mattress on the floor, and there was practically no space for the staff in the room. The breakfast was very basic (omelette, bread and coffee) and it was a 10 minute walk from the accommodation. The tour was okay and we learned some things about the area, but it might be better to go by scooter sometimes (if you drive), as this way you can explore places at your own pace and for a better price.

The family really welcomes you into their home, giving you an immersive experience.

Hele vriendelijke familie!

Harry, his sister Sreymom, their kids and parents were Great! Sreymom makes great food so be sure to have dinner. Harry does great tours! I did both of them! They were the highlight of my Southeast Asia trip!

Nothing! Everything was great

Vous pouvez également déjeuner dans le supér restaurant de Mom a 10 mn à pied d' excellent plats locaux, la famille propose également de vous accompagner pour des tours intéressants en tuk tuk Je recommande a 100 % ce séjour!

Unser Aufenthalt im Lazy Mango Homestay war einfach wundervoll! Es war ein echtes Homestay-Erlebnis, bei dem wir uns vom ersten Moment an wie ein Teil der Familie gefühlt haben. Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich herzlich und hilfsbereit - bei jeder Frage oder jedem Anliegen wurde uns sofort weitergeholfen. Das Zimmer war einfach, sauber und sehr gemütlich. Genau das Richtige, um sich wohlzufühlen. Ein besonderes Highlight sind die TukTuk-Touren mit dem Sohn Harry. Er ist ein großartiger Guide, zeigt tolle Orte, glänzt mit Facts und Geschichten und sorgt für eine richtig gute Zeit. Seine Schwester betreibt außerdem ein kleines Café in der Nähe und kocht unglaublich leckeres Essen. Das angebotene Abendessen in der Unterkunft sollte man auf keinen Fall verpassen, wenn man authentische lokale Spezialitäten probieren möchte! Auch die Eltern sind sehr liebevolle Menschen – überhaupt ist die ganze Familie, von jung bis alt, unglaublich sympathisch und warmherzig. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder! 😊

Perfect stay. Nice homestay with a really kind family ! Feel like home.

We had an amazing stay with Harry and his family. Harry reached us before arriving at Battambang and offered us a free TukTuk. We were starving and he drove us to his sister's coffee. We had one of the best Lok Lak in all of Cambodia! From the first moment we reached the homestay we felt like home. His parents treat us like part of the family. Offering water, fruits and always taking care of us. We also had a wonderful family dinner. Great food cooked by Harry's sister. I also recommend booking a tour with Harry. He will find the best tour for you according to your interests. He gave us a lot of information about Cambodia, history and the culture. I wish him and his family all the best. Thank you again!

I spent 3 nights at Lazy Mango Home Stay and had a wonderful time: - My private room was huge and clean, I enjoyed the privacy of it being a "little house" without taking anything from the homestay vibe. I also visited the dorm though, and it was also looking good! - Harry and his family, especially his parents, are amazing hosts. They made be feel so welcome that it was hard to leave! - I also recommend going on a tour with Harry to either go the bat caves or to discover more about the area (rice whisky farm, many plantations, etc.) I learned a lot about Cambodia thanks to him! I could go on and on but couldn't recommend it enough for a stay in Battambang!

Right away it felt homey. Little bungalows, the table with benches and a couple hammocks. The kitchen area, bananas for the taking, water when you need to refill. Very clean

Absolutely nothing

Laissez tomber vos scooter et laissez vous guider par Harry en tuk tuk dans les environs . Allez avec lui au marché de Battambang . Partagez l'excellent repas préparé pour vous avec la famille. En bref, une très belle expérience dans une famille cambodgienne !

Même s'il fait chaud au Cambodge , il manque l'eau chaude dans la salle de bain .

No

ホストファミリーは大変親切で、観光もサボートしてくれます。特にSanさんは駅まで迎えに来てくれ、即行きたい所へ案内してくれました。朝食時にもオーナーが話し相手をしてくれ、次の予定を気にかけてくれました。

町外れなのて、夜は真っ暗です。夕食を済ませてからホテルに戻ることをお勧めします。

L’accueil et la gentillesse des hôtes, leurs disponibilités et leurs partages !

Voici une adresse précieuse, que je recommande vivement. Vous serez accueilli par une famille adorable et aux petits soins... la chambre est confortable, mais surtout allez-y pour les hôtes. J'ai eu la chance de faire les tours de tuk-tuk avec Sam, c'était enrichissant et unique. Les repas de Mom, pris en famille, sont excellents... er typiques... et très copieux. Une famille en or 😍

Notre logement préféré au Cambodge. Nous avons été incroyablement été accueilli par toute la famille. Nous vous recommandons fortement de faire les tours de la ville guidé par Harry qui vous expliquera à merveille les différentes particularités de Battambang. Nous vous recommandons aussi de manger chez sa sœur Mom, qui cuisine à merveille les spécialités de la ville que vous ne trouverez pas dans d'autres restaurants. La chambre était très bien, la climatisation par cette chaleur était bienvenue. Les parents de Harry et Mom nous ont traité comme si nous faisions partie de leur famille. En bref, ce lieu est un coup de cœur dont nous nous souviendrons longtemps !

Sincèrement, rien

Un séjour exceptionnel avec cette famille! Nous ne pouvons que confirmer les commentaires positifs qui nous ont poussé à venir. Nous avons pu faire le tour de Battambang et de ses environs avec Sam dans son tuk tuk. Une visite très enrichissante et variée lors de laquelle nous avons pu découvrir la richesse de cette région avec les explications de Sam, qui est un très bon guide. Nous avons partagé deux repas avec la famille, avec des échanges à la fois touchants et hilarants. La cuisine de Mom et de sa mère était excellente (merci pour les recettes partagées). L’accueil est vraiment chaleureux, la communication facile en anglais ou sur Google trad avec les parents, très contents de recevoir du monde. Bref, une excellente expérience si vous voulez découvrir la vie locale !

I highly recommend staying at Lazy Mango Homestay for anyone visiting Battambang. It is a real homestay where you will have the opportunity to meet a wonderful family and have all the confort you need. They will be able to help you organise cooking class, tuktuk tours, bus booking... We had dinner and breakfast with the family and felt just like home, while learning a lot about khmer real life. One of our best experiences in Cambodia!

Wonderfull homestay with a family willing to help you explore the city and surroundings for a great price. Breakfast and dinner are freshly cooked in her own restaurant and give a nice introduction the the Cambodian kitchen. Definitely your one stop shop for Battambang!

We loved our authentic Cambodian homestay. We were welcomed and treated as family- sharing meals and stories together. You will likely get the chance to meet all three generations of the family which we really enjoyed. The food was really tasty, and we enjoyed a day tour being shown around in Harry's tuktuk and his vast local knowledge about Battambang. Thank you for looking after us during our stay!

Very lovely family who were so lovely and hospitable. They treat you like you’re a part of the family! Harry also picked us up from the bus station which was a great bonus. We also joined the tuk tuk tour that Harry offered and he was so knowledgeable about his city and everything around it. We loved his tour and would recommend to anyone who stays, it was so worth it and I felt much more immersed into the culture and the city. The breakfast at his sisters restaurant is also very delicious!

A truly authentic Cambodian experience. This is an amazing Cambodian family that you stay with in their home. We learnt so much about Cambodia as a country and how they live. They treat you as their own family and look after you so so well. A water dispenser with hot/warm/cold water, bananas to help yourself to, amazing food, hammocks to relax in and tea to drink. The highlight for us was the food that was made - you are invited to join the family for dinner for a small cost and Mom the hosts sister cooks a variety of fresh, delicious Cambodian dishes which we couldn’t resist both nights. The host Harry is so welcoming and has a tuk tuk so if you need tours of Battambang he’s your man. Harry speaks amazing English and knows so much about Cambodia after having been a tour guide for many years. The mother and father of the house treat you as their own and share personal experiences from living/working through the Khmer Rouge. Overall, if you’re looking for a real taste of Cambodia and a wholesome time - STAY HERE!

Not a bad word.

I had an amazing time staying here, even extending my time and recommending this place to everyone I meet. The family is very welcoming and helped me with everything I needed. I also did Harry's tuktuk tour 2 days and enjoyed the amazing dinner. 10/10 would recommend!

Delicous omelette for breakfast and nice coffe and tea. Beutiful family who makes you feel at home and always eager to help or answer questions.

It was unique. A whole family that will enjoy your presence and do everything to make you feel confortable. I recomand to book a tour of Battambang and all it's history with the guide, that is one of the owner of the homestay, this will cost you also a very small price. It's three nights that we feel at home, thanks you!

The friendliest and most hospitable family. Had such an amazing time here and will remember it for a long time

Nothing

Clean, comfy bungalows with private bathroom and AC. But the best bit was the family! They're all so welcoming and make it feel like an authentic homestay! I did the cooking class at the daughter's Cafe, which was awesome. If you don't have the patience to pound curry paste, just order one of her fabulous yet affordable meals - or her tasty unique egg coffee (not like the Vietnamese one). What's more, the kids were so great, I felt like an auntie visiting. Highly recommend you stay here, I wouldn't have traded this experience for anything! And make sure you have dinner with them, it's epic! Thank you, everyone! ♥️

Everything was great. I'd return to Battambang just to stay with them - there's not much going on in the town and with this homestay you don't need it anyway!

Staying with this family was great. The Parents are so lovely and cooking together with their daughter ( she has a restaurant) was a great experience.

A super welcoming family. Forget hotels... This is the way to travel! Feel the home away from home. Thank you so much for sharing your house! When I'm back in Battambang this is the only place to go!

The family that‘s running the lazy mango is just amazing! The kids are lovely (i played with the girl for at least one hour). I felt welcome and as a part of the family! I got an amazing homemade dinner and ate with the whole family together! It was a great and absolute local experience! The bed was comfortable! They‘re also offering tuktuk tours around the city! Thank you for the great experience 🫶🏻

The owner (mum) and her whole family are lovely! They really take the time to talk to you and if you are lucky you even get to have dinner with the whole family (they also cook veggie if needed). Since we were leaving very early they provided us with a great early breakfast to go. Taking the tuk tuk tour with Harry (brother) is also recommended.

To experience the habits, the culture of Laos. The hosts - and also the other guests- were wonderful, and walk the extra mile to make the guests happy

I liked everything. If you are someone looking for a luxury stay, maybe should look elsewhere, but here everything was simple and perfect

I can highly recommend choosing the Lazy Mango Homestay in Battambang! It is a real homestay with the family around and taking care of you all the time. They have beds inside their house, separated by curtains as far as I could see, and they also have two private bungalows with private bathrooms. We stayed in the latter for 8 nights and were very sad to leave. The whole family is lovely! Ma and Pa host the guests and are so warm and welcoming. Mom has a nice restaurant close by, and cooks an amazing dinner with loads of choices of real Cambodian food if you like. The 6$ per person are totally worth it! She even cooked vegetarian food for us which was amazing! Her husband is a super nice tuktuk driver who is easily reached directly through any family member. And Harry is a great tour guide who has a vast knowledge about anything regarding Cambodia, the history, the rural life, and the neighbouring countries. He has two tours he usually suggests to the guests who stay only for a few days but if you stay longer, you can also customize it, as we did, and mix and match, and discuss the possibilities with Harry. We really enjoyed our stay with them, and are grateful for the wonderful time, and the glimpse into the life of a Cambodian family. Thank you all, Ma, Pa, Mom, Harry, and everyone else we met in your house!

In the very beginning we once or twice had the impression that their communication style is a bit pushy. Know, that they only offer their services. You can choose to say yes or no, as you like. They're only trying to give you the best experience possible. We think you should say yes most of the time ;)

Such a beautiful family who make you feel so very welcome. It’s so much more than some accommodation. We stayed for 2 nights and ate with the family both nights. Mom, the daughter prepared absolutely delicious food for us with a great variety of dishes. Breakfast is at Mom’s coffee shop around the corner. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Nothing

- Very comfortable beds - A truly authentic experience - Chatting with papa in the evenings - Mom's cooking - Great value! It's not the typical guesthouse, it is a homestay, it's authentically Cambodian. You can join family dinner every evening at an extra cost and you eat and chat with locals, not separately. Thank you Harry, Mom, papa & mama for the heartwarming hospitality!

There's a Buddhist temple nearby which will start a recording of chanting early on. It's also possible to hear Cambodian weddings in the area in the "winter". This is not meant to dissuade you, the place is great. Just be prepared and bring earplugs.

Our stay at Lazy Mango Homestay was our favourite in South East Asia. Once you step over the threshold into the property you are welcomed with open arms and a cup of tea. We instantly felt part of the family. Breakfast every morning was simple but incredibly tasty and talking with the family immediately put us in a great mood each time. Additionally, we did a cooking class at the homestay, which really gave an insight into home cooking in Cambodia. And the flavours were amazing! You can rent bicycles and do your own laundry in the old fashioned way. Harry also offers to do a tuktuk tour of the city and surroundings which was a great experience as well. Harry is very knowledgeable and speaks English very well. If you want a home away from home, this is the place!

Nothing! Everything was great!

Lovely family that will take care of you. I felt home and safe in Battambang. Breakfast (eggs, onion and real “French baguette” with coffee)is included in the price 😍 I also recommend people to eat dinner with the family (a lot of food + dessert) The family is really helpful and will show you the real local experience of Battambang. Much better than other guides in the city. Happy to find my joy back during my stay at this guesthouse. They also pick you up from the bus station, and if you ask Harry he can organise a Tuktuk to bring you to the bus station at the end of your stay.

Saying goodbye was hard.

If you’re looking for a real taste of Cambodian life, Lazy Mango Homestay is the perfect place for you! I spent 4 amazing days with Harry and his family. Lazy Mango is a great spot: close to the city center but located in a local neighborhood in Battambang, where everyone greets you with a smile. I stayed in one of the two outdoor bungalows. It’s simple and basic, but very comfortable, with both a fan and air conditioning to keep cool. What I enjoyed the most was the outdoor courtyard, a shared space with the super kind and welcoming hosts. They always made sure I had fresh water, fruit, or a taste of local food! In the evenings, you can order dinner from Harry’s sister. The food is tasty, and the portions are big. Sharing meals with the family was one of the best parts of my stay! The Wi-Fi is another big plus: it works really well. I was able to work comfortably in the courtyard, sitting in the shade with the fan on. I’m so happy I chose to stay at this homestay. I made beautiful memories and had experiences that I wouldn’t have had at a regular hotel. Thank you, Harry and family! I wish you all the best and lots of good luck!

Nice family, good breakfast

The accomodation is very basic, I need to pay more to move to separate/house with good fan, as it was very hot during a night

This is a unique opportunity to experience day to day life with a typical Cambodian family in a very local neighborhood on the outskirts of Battambang. The family is very welcoming, and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. Accommodation is basic, but well worth the experience. They also set up excursions that allow you to learn more about the history and culture while supporting the local community. The authentic home cooked dinners were amazing!

If you are okay with cold showers, then you will enjoy this home stay

We got upgraded to a new bedroom with aircon, which was spacious and comfortable! The family who own the homestay are lovely people, offering us free tea and fruit. The homestay is situated in a rural area just outside of the center. Saki was an amazing tuk tuk tour guide and showed us all the spots around Battambang. Thank you for a great stay :)
