Top View Kohrong

The staff were super nice and friendly

There were bed bugs and we got bitten alive and had to get antibiotics from infections. There is also only a small blanket on the bed which wasn’t comfortable at all.

It’s close to Nestival and definitely a very social hostel Pizza was good

Private room was very dirty, bedsheets visibly dirty from previous guests. Ants crawling everywhere in the room, many more living underneath the bathroom. This hostel is in the middle of nowhere on an extremely steep, rough dirt path. You can’t get anywhere without already having a scooter. Grab is disabled and you’re entirely at the mercy of the hostel calling local Tuktuks who charge 20x more than Grab Cambodian prices. It’s 5 mins walk to Nestival, but it’s probably best staying in one of the 3-4 hostels directly around Nest itself if you’re a solo female traveller for example.

I was surprised about my time here. I initially thought I might not enjoy but the people and the staff, coupled with the relaxed atmosphere made it a great stay. Forms are big with comfy beds and curtains.

Great place. Can be social if you want to but then you can just chill on our own no pressure to do things or drink/party. Staff were super friendly, kitchen lady and her husband basically run the place most of the time, they both are very very sweet people. Rooms were alright, budget friendly. Decent place, highly recommend. Hostel located very close to nestival(5 min walk), yet in a quite area so no problem with noises.

the beds were very nice, with good curtains

the girls working we’re nice however i could sense a weird atmosphere coming from the boss

It was a calm place. Friendly staff. Good food. Clean. Good location.

Thought it was a party place as per the pictures but no.

Staff were friendly and would do anything to help you out. Good common area with a pool table. Social and comfortable.

The hostel has a great atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly and helpful

We stayed in one of their bungalows, but unfortunately, it did not live up to our expectations, especially considering the price. We paid 175 usd for four nights but experienced several issues: the air conditioning could not be adjusted, there were ants and other insects, and rainwater seeped in under the door because it was not properly sealed. In hindsight, we would probably have preferred to stay in their dormitories, where we expect the price and quality to be more aligned

Nothing

The hostel is so far away from the main Road. There is nothing around so if you want to eat, meet people, go to the main Beach with restaurants etc. You have to walk for more than 30 minutes. The road is not good so it will be long and exhausting. The dorm are dirty, I was not sure they cleaned the bed. There is no light in the bed, which is very inconvenient when people turn off the ceiling Light of the room. The shower is so dirty with no hot water. The toilet even worse. There is no toilet paper, they don't refill. And it's so expensive for a dorm, plus for that poor quality. I don't recommand at all

Perfect distance from Nestival! Such lovely staff and it had a gorgeous view. And good food!

🌟Top view is awesome🌟 Had a great time at Top View. The location is very nice just a little walk up the street from the beach, which means you will be away from the noise and have a great sleep. I loved the little patio with the hammocks where you could do yoga, and the pizza was delicious!!

No complaints

Owner and the staff were exceptional,good food and happy backpackers vibe

This is a party hostel with loud bass music playing until 1 or 2am, which is great if you want to party + drink but not if you want to chill/ relax. It should be advertised as a party hostel. Staff were rude, building work was going on during the day, and compared to other hostels it's not that close to the beach. Also no toilet roll.

The staff was so nice!! And the room was very good for the price

Room was ok had ac you could use all day bed was not too hard Nice volunteers working there Food was not bad also You can walk down to long set it doesn’t take too long

Probably more our fault as we didn’t realise how close to nest it is, you could hear the music all night and it kept us awake a lot. The dirt road to get there is not the best so be careful on your scooter. I am experienced on one and still it felt a bit sketchy it’s not too bad getting from long set but from Koh touch it’s dangerous Bedding felt dirty some of the blankets provided had paint marks and just felt not really clean Room also wasn’t really well put together had a tile missing off the wall and electrical cables taped up hanging above the shower. Shower was only cold

Played pool with the guys working there, the french girls at the desk are lovely lovely view and large room only few minutes walk to the beach! It's great! Food available too is pretty good

The road from ferry is bumpy but that's not there fault. 🤗 We loved it

The property is located close to the beach and nestival.

If you are not looking for a party place this isn’t the place to stay. Can be very loud at times but is expected in a hostel! Perfect for solo travellers but not so much for couples.

Highly recommend! Great hostel only a 5 minute drive from the pier. 5 minute walk from the beach and Nest club. Great staff and volunteers, very friendly vibe for solo travellers or groups. Good, affordable food and refreshments and nice hammocks to relax on with a great view. Also a few dumbbells if you fancy a workout and a pool table 👌🏼

Not staying for longer

Very social hostel which was nice. The hammocks are awesome to chill in and there was a big music box you could use

Cold showers kinda suck during the evening. Owner arranged transfer to boat and boat ticket for me, but my taxi didn’t come and he’d apparently forgotten to arrange it. Price on booking wasn’t the same as what I had to pay (more than 15€ more expensive). Boat he promised to put me on didn’t exist so had to wait on one 50 minutes later.

View out of the room was actually nice.

If You Love Loud Music, Dirty Rooms, and Hidden Fees—This Is Your Spot! If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay, this is NOT the place for you. Despite booking what we thought was a quiet hostel, we barely got a solid night's sleep in five nights. The owner and his friends blasted terrible music until 2 AM, even after we asked them to lower the volume. Earplugs? Useless. The bass was so intense it felt like a budget nightclub right in our room. And if that wasn’t enough, the nearby Saturday festival ensures you'll get zero rest. Now, let’s talk about the host. Rude, unhelpful, and trying to squeeze extra money out of guests. We were forced to pay a 6% card fee, which he claimed was a “good deal” compared to other places—only to find out later that was a complete lie. If you don’t have enough cash, expect to be pressured into extra charges. Cleanliness? A joke. The room was poorly maintained, borderline filthy, and honestly, it felt like the place was run by people who don’t care. The bathroom’s electrical setup looked like a safety hazard waiting to happen. And while we knew mobile signal on the island wasn’t great, the Wi-Fi was absolutely useless—might as well not exist. If you’re here to party all night, drink endlessly, and don’t mind sleeping in a dirty room, this place might be for you. But if you value rest, cleanliness, or basic hospitality, stay far away.

It has good access to nest, which is the main party venue on the island. The staff are friendly and the on site store has all the essentials.

Access to the rest of the village becomes trickier as the roads can be challenging and the walk is 15-20 minutes through sand and jungle

Tony the owner is a weapon can’t help you enough walk to the beach ! Just down the hill the last bar on the right is amazing owner a chef go at 7pm for freshly cooked food !

Bed a little hard but that’s the only thing

Very easy walking distance to Nest, about 5 minutes - but far enough where you can't hear the music at night. Quiet. Very nice staff. Can help you book anything you need. Very clean. We stayed in a private room and had a new mattress. Comfortable. Good wifi.

It would be nice to have a small lamp next to the bed, as the only ceiling light is quite bright.

We absolutely loved our room, the view overlooking the sea never got old. Also, the staff were so friendly and accommodating! We would 100% recommend for anyone looking for an affordable place to stay on Koh Rong

Nothing:)

Nice place, good rooms

We had the best time here! we came for 1 night and extended our stay to 3. The host is super nice and welcoming and helped us with everything, we got a private room which was very clean and had a new and quiet A/C, a fan, private bathroom and shower and no bugs! and of course the view from the room was amazing. For this price it’s impossible to find these amenities in entire island.

The location of the place is a bit challenging since it’s 7 min climb from the Nest up. But the view is worth it, and since it’s so close we enjoyed everything the Nest has to offer without the noise and fuss when we wanted some quiet time

Good view of the sea

When we arrived the bedsheets were stained, we asked them to change the bedsheets and no one did. There was no water in the shower or sink after 23:00. Also a bad smell from the bathroom.

The location is good, next to the Nest pub and 400 meters away from the beach.

The staff doesn’t care about you at all. The showers are dirty.

The view was great, even if it's definitely not a "top view"

To me, the staff seemed a bit uninterested in their own guests. They turned the AC off after 11 am (not a huge concern).

This place really does have a top view. Overlooking forest and sea this is a real treat. In a good location about a 10 minute walk from the beach with enough restaurants nearby.

The bathroom smelt awful but we ended up going a bit nose blind to it by the end of the stay. The roads nearby aren't great if you want to hire ped.

Good aircondition

Very dirty floor

Tony and all the staff were always smiling and chatty. Even gave me a couple of free beers on Khmer new year. If I wanted my bed sheets changed or a fresh towel, they would do it straight away for me.... Overall great experience.

Great facility’s , comfy beds

Nothing it was perfect

Loved the strong AC and comfortable beds. Staff was super friendly and calls you “brother or sister” :) He helped me contact another property I stayed at when I left something. I only stayed one night but it was comfortable.

I wish it had a bigger seating/hang out area but it was alright.

The hostel is a great base for when you are staying on the island for Nestival. It is only a 5 minute walk to the beach, which is amazing! The staff is really friendly and I joined them for a drink with the Koh Rong police (if it was not a joke). They also have a mini-mart available. So you can get your late night snacks (or booze).

They do not have many showers what could cause a line, especially during Nestival. There is not much else in the surrounding area except Nest and a few other hostels. If you are not comfortable with a bike on dirt roads, this would mean that you are kind of stuck on that part of the island.

The hostel is close to Nest which makes it good to get a good night of sleep while enjoying the events there.

It’s still a bit disorganized since they just opened. My bed wasn’t very clean. I rented the scooter and found it dangerous to drive to the next beach (I’m an experienced driver), and then discovered I could have just rented it directly in the Kaoh Touch Beach where the roads are way better. I would have preferred if someone had told me this.

Very nice owner!

Really comfortable beds, the staff was so nice and it’s not very far from nest beach club if you’re looking for some activities/party.

The ac turns off at 12 and turns on again at 6 pm but it’s very common for this island so nothing weird about that, still gets very hot of course if you’re just looking for chilling at the hostel for a while.

The walk to the beach was not too long and the view was great

Very smelly bathroom (all the time) and not clean at all. The bathroom and the sheets on the bed were dirty

Such a good location! Only a short walk away from the beach and other hostels. Room was sealed well which stopped bugs getting in. The aircon and fan was very good and kept us cool both day and night. Staff were super friendly and helpful with organising boats / busses back off the island. We even extended our stay here we enjoyed it that much!

The bathroom drain had a smell to it which meant we had to keep the bathroom door shut all the time. The WiFi worked well at times but then didn’t at other times so hit and miss but this is to be expected on an island.

Very beautiful view

Perfect location and a lovely view

Nice and helpful staff... Big and confi beds

Close to the beach, good location! Rooms have AC

Rooms were really dirty, no toilet paper or soap and no sign of cleaning the rooms at any time. The smell in the room was disgusting and they give you towels, which smell musty, so you don’t really want to use them. This was in the private room, maybe the dorms are better, but we were disappointed for the price.

Tony, the manliest man in the world, takes care of everything

I’ve booked 2 nights at first and stayed more then a week here. This place is open for 2 months and it’s amazing. Everything is clean and tidy and the staff are absolutely the best. Tony the owner will help you with everything. Can’t wait to go back to this place in the future 🫶

Compared to other places on the island, it is in 8. But in fact it would be a 6 or 7 out of 10 if on the mainland. The location was great, a 3 minute walk from Nest Hostel for a good beach and nightlife. Room had good A/C and fan, but due to the power outs occurring a lot. It didn’t always work.

Funny smell in our room. Bathroom could’ve been cleaner. Note for anyone going here, get off at Long Beach pier and walk. Or grab a Tuk Tuk from there. Don’t get off at the main jetty otherwise it’s a serious hike or very expensive tuk tuk.

Friendly staff and beautiful view from top rooms. Great walking distance to the beach.

I had injured my feet and was struggling to walk, the staff drove me on their bike for free to and from the beach so I didn’t have to walk, just shows how kind they are :)

Great Staff !

Great location with excellent views of the island. All the staff were very helpful, helped us organise buses, ferry’s and day trip which was also great!

Property was nice and modern - nearby to Nest and the beach so easy to access the nightlife but get a good nights sleep afterwards.

The aircon appeared to be turned off after about 8am which made the rooms quite hot. The hill is a bit steep when walking back from the beach.

Tony was really helpful. Just a genuine nice and honest guy, and if you have any problems he will sort then out for you. Big beds, and really close to the nest which is very nice if you’re planning on going to the nestival.

The beds were large and the staff were helpful

No lamps in beds

The room was nice. It had comfortable hammocks and chairs outside which was cool. The staff was helpful when we needed them for a medical emergency. Thanks guys!

The communication about prices and rules could be better at times.

This place provide amazing staff, host Pablo help me a lot with organise daily activities and suggestions. Highly recommend this place because it's really close to beach Nest. Its just 5 min uphill what is not really big deal and you will sleep like baby.

Perfect place if you are 20 years old and you like to party. - spacious beds with curtains - clean bathrooms and toilets - locker - possible to buy tickets for trips & tours

not a really welcoming atmosphere and common area - no towels provided - area was still a bit under construction - people were very noisy during the night and had loud chats in the dorm - no cleaning in the dorm

The bunk beds were very spacious, almost a double size bed and had very good privacy. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Location is good, just a 5 minute walk to the beach and nice walk through the jungle to the main pier. The showers and toilets were always clean.

Nothing.

The location was ok for us, we enjoyed the fun walk down to the beach. As expected, there was also a great view from the property. The host was helpful, and would arrange anything if asked.

Booked a private bungalow, but got given a double room with shared balcony - we could hear next door easily, and it just wasn’t the experience we were hoping for (I think the bungalows actually weren’t ready because the place is new, but that wasn’t explained). The room had some not very nice smells; the drainage in the bathroom was poor, and there was another overriding chemical-y smell in the main room. We were provided with two fleece blankets rather than proper bedding, which was uncomfortable. There was a lack of information given (no wifi code, no helpful info on how best to reach the property or navigate the island, etc), and a larger focus was on selling tours or transport - it was only when we were literally climbing into the tuk tuk (in the rain) at the end of our stay we were asked how our stay was, which wasn’t the best time to provide feedback. There wasn’t a welcoming common area; there was no comfortable place to lounge outside of our room. This is a new venture though, so I’m assuming all of the above will improve in time!

Close to the nest hostel where the party is but still far enough to not be bothered by the noise. They rent motorbikes at a good price and uncomplicated.

The bathrooms were a bit smelly, there was no common area to chill out.

Location was good, only about 8 minute walk from the beach. Lovely view from outside the door of the private rooms.

The smell out of the bathroom was absolutely disgusting, definitely serious plumbing issues. Beds were pretty hard and not that comfortable. The taxi they sent to collect us tried to charge us $9 for a 2km trip, we laughed at them and didn't end up having to pay. So be wary, they will try to scam you. When we were leaving they said it would be $6 and we said no so walked back to the pier along the beach instead of paying these rip off merchants. High charge for paying by card and made out like he was doing me a massive favour by only charging me 7%, refused to pay this and agreed on 5%. Only 1 main light in room. Soap dispenser was empty on check-in, 2 towels provided for 3 people.

So close to both beaches, within walking distance. Good AC during evening and morning

The staff charged extra. They had an extra charge added on their booking.com side, the man showed me his phone when I questioned about this. It’s never happened in any other booking before so unsure what the extra charge is for

Near the nestival.

Paiement by care with 6% fee !! The bunk doesn't have any lights and it was dirty. No lockers. It is called "top view" but you don't see at all the sea/beach, it is still under construction, no common area. When i was staying, i saw 2 Cambodian girls coming with a tuk tuk very well dressed (very sexy) late the afternoon and one of them spend the night with an old european guy in my dorm ! So yes, basically it was for sex and she left the bedroom in the morning with a lot of dollars in the hand. So not nice at all !!

I loved the walk down from the property to the beach with lots of life in between. Amazing location to be close to the party but far enough away to have a good night sleep

Hostel was cheaper than all the others and was better rooms. No rules on air-conditioning staff were friendly and actually got a good night sleep.

Everything is new and it was clean. It’s close to the beach but far enough away from the party places that the music isn’t too loud at night. The staff were so kind throughout our stay and really went out of the way to help us.

Wifi could be iffy sometimes, but you’re on a island so it’s expected.

Place is very new, the showers and toilets are very clean. I was there two times, in two different dorm rooms, the bed was alright. You can easily rent a scooter. The pricing for everything is really fair, the beach is just a seven-minute-walk away. You can also re-fill your water for free.

WiFi could be better sometimes, one of the dorm doors doesn't fully open (or it's difficult). Just small things.

Nice rooftop restaurant and two temperature pools, spacious rooms, friendly personnel

Noisy bar opposite the balcony rooms so no sleep at Night. Really hard beds. The private taxis the hotel offers are overpriced. Undercooked omelettes so my girlfriend ended up with a salmonella infection.

View is good. They take care well of the guests. Good location, free water and staff are friendly.
