Homestay Yellow Natural House

This is a truly wonderful place to stay. Ken and Navy are incredibly kind, helpful, and friendly—they made me feel very welcome. They even cooked me a great birthday meal, complete with a cake—so kind and far more than I expected. The room is very spacious, peaceful and cosy- with a good sized bathroom The house is a short tuk-tuk ride from the centre—only 5–10 minutes away—so it’s perfect for anyone looking for somewhere quieter and more peaceful. I highly recommend this place. Thank you, Ken and Navy— I’d love to come back soon!

Nothing.

Familiär, kambodschanisch, sauber und trotzdem sehr preiswert! Wir werden wiederkommen.

Complete honesty? I thought the reviews were too good to be true, so I booked a few nights and thought I'd see for myself. By the time I leave I'll have stayed with this truly wonderful family for 3 weeks and I'd visit again in a heartbeat. Yep, the reviews are true. Navy, Ken, and family are warm, welcoming, kind and incredibly generous people. We've had lovely conversations, shared delicious meals, laughed and spent time together. It's a really great mix of privacy when you'd like it and the ability to connect and converse when you wish. The homestay is a quick scooter or tuktuk ride from the touristy part of town so you can get everywhere easily. I like that it's about 10 minutes away from the busy, noisy energy in the centre of Siem Reap. It feels calmer, quieter, and like a true homestay. Navy and Ken speak excellent English and are very happy to teach you some Khmer (I'm so sorry for my terrible pronunciation! 😂), and we've had some great conversations about life, the universe and everything during my stay. The room is very spacious - a separate bedroom, bathroom, and lounge area to enjoy. The bed and pillows are comfortable. The bedroom has air-conditioning and the lounge area is 'indoor outdoor' style (open air but with privacy) with a fan. There's consistent hot and cold water in the shower (you definitely don't need hot water in Cambodia at this time of year, but it's there if you want it!). There's also a large fridge in the private lounge area for basic self catering, keeping water cold, or storing snacks. Wifi is good and you can top up your water bottle with filtered water which is provided. Also, when you stay you NEED to try Navy's cooking - it's so, so good!! As a solo female traveller I feel safe, comfortable and so cared for. I feel like I've been welcomed into the family - and when you travel alone, that's a really lovely thing to experience.

長閑な風景が広がる宿で、親切なホストファミリーと3匹の犬が温かく迎えてくれます。レモングラスのアロマが漂う清潔な室内は、感じの良い家具に囲まれ、特に風が通り抜ける半屋外の見晴らしの良いリビングは、思わずソファでそのまま寝てしまうほどの居心地です。植物に囲まれたグラウンドフロアでいただくホストの料理は格別で、5泊の滞在中ほぼ毎食、宿に戻ってローカルフードを楽しみました。ツーリスティックな街の喧騒から少し離れ、ゆったりとした素のカンボジアの時間を味わいたい人におすすめです。

The house was very beautiful. We had a huge and stylishly furnished room with AC, as well as a living room/ terrace to chill and watch sunsets.

Nothing to complain.

Der Familienanschluss, kleine grüne Oase, Ruhe. Navy ist eine sehr herzliche und offene Gastgeberin. Ken und sie sind sehr hilfsbereit und außergewöhnliche Menschen. Eine sehr schöne Begegnung. Danke für die schöne Zeit🧡

Il y a une fin à tout. Après 14 jours passés dans cet endroit fabuleux, auprès de Ken et Navy, mais aussi des grands-mères, des trois enfants, des trois chiens, des geckos, l’heure a été au départ. Un gros pincement au cœur, à reculons, mais pour mieux revenir une fois prochaine. J’y ai laissé une partie de moi-même, un petit bout de mon cœur. Pour un jour le retrouver. Vous partagerez la maison de la famille, mais tout en discrétion et intimité. À une dizaine de minutes du centre-ville en scooter ou tuk tuk, vous bénéficiez de la proximité des restaurants et commerces tout en profitant du calme de la campagne. Ken et navy parlent un très bon anglais et, si vous souhaitez découvrir leur univers, n’hésitez pas à communiquer avec eux. Vous apprendrez beaucoup de choses. Et comme ils ont beaucoup d’humour, un plein de rires et de sourires vous attend. Merci Ken et Navy pour ce séjour inoubliable, nous vous souhaitons une longue et belle vie. À très bientôt.

Absolument RIEN 🙂

シェムリアップでのホームステイは、ネイビーさんとケンさん夫妻、お母さん、そして可愛い3人の子供たちと数匹の賢い犬たちが温かく迎えてくれる、とても特別な体験でした。カンボジア料理の食事は毎回絶品で、地元の味を家庭的な雰囲気で楽しめます。スクーターのレンタルも可能で、不調があった際はすぐに交換してくれる迅速な対応に感動しました。部屋は清潔で、独立したバスルームがあり、セキュリティ面も完璧なので安心して滞在できます。何より、家族のように接してくれる温かさが心に残りました。特に妻のネイビーさんとは、カンボジアの文化や生活について多くの話をし、貴重な学びと交流ができました。居心地の良さ、安心感、そして人の温もりを同時に味わえる場所で、また必ず泊まりたいと思える滞在先です。シェムリアップに来るなら、迷わずここを選ぶべきです。ネイビーさん本当にありがとう！！Hiroより

Ken, Navy and whole their family are an exceptional hosts. They have great and open hearts and they make you immediately feel like at home. Exceptional location on the outskirts of Siem Reap guarantees you a very calm environment with lot of space to relax in the beautiful nature all around. I have highly valued the size, cleanliness of the place. They have helped me to organize transport to and from the airport as the great guided tours to the Angkor Wat and other beautiful historical and cultural landmarks of the rich Khmer culture. I've felt there immediately like in a second home, so if you want to get to know closer the beautiful Khmer culture full of care and love, this is the place you will get instantly in love with!

On the top floor there is a bit poorer WiFi signal, but if you're not too picky, you can make use of the ground floor and work there accompanied by super friendly bunch of three dogs of the house!

A lovely large room with a separate bedroom, a bathroom and a Hall. Great location - quite close to the Center (5 min on the bike), but at the same time the country silence. Navy and Ken are beautiful owners, helped all issues throughout our stay. On home cozy atmosphere, want to return here again.

Very comfortable room, nice decoration, plenty of space. Mindful service. You get everything you can possibly need. Large fridge, clean place. It's outside the main tourist area but a short distance by tuk tuk or motorcycle.

I had a wonderful stay with some wonderful hosts. Quiet and relaxed area. About 8 minutes to the center of SR by Scooter. Can recommend to everyone if you're looking for an authentic stay in a lovely family environment

It gets really hot on some days on the top floor, which makes you feel tired. Even with AC. Otherwise everything was great

The hostess, Navy, was charming and made sure we were well looked after. She cooked us a delicious dinner (5USD pp), making some Cambodian specialities that my husband asked for, and a traditional Cambodian breakfast (also 5USD pp). The balcony upstairs is a lovely place to relax, with a great view over the local area, and we loved the family's three dogs!

Some of the tuktuk drivers found it a little difficult to find, especially in the dark, as its a few km outside of the centre, so have google maps at the ready!

This was perfect for us. 10 minutes tuk tuk drive to the town, which meant peace and quiet at the homestay. We wanted to emerse ourselves in the culture rather than staying at a hotel that could be anywhere in the world. Navy and Ken were perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Navy cooked us dinner and breakfast and we socialised with them and another guest while we ate. Beautiful family. They arranged a tuk tuk for us when we wanted to go to town. The room was large, had a nice balcony to watch the sunset and was very clean. For the price we paid it was exceptional.

Nothing at all

In one sentence: the family - Ken, Navy and their kids were just amazingly sweet, kind, welcoming and made us feel at home. We not only got to enjoy Navy’s delicious home cooked food but also got to feel the warmth and huge hearts of the family. We will be back for sure!

Navy and Kim are the best hosts! Made me feel so welcome:)

The homestay is a gem and Mr Ken and Ms Navy are the nicest, kindest and most accommodating hosts we ever had. Ms Navy made us wonderful meals, and looked after me, when I fell ill. The room is very comfortable, all is well thought through and nicely decorated. There is truly nothing to change to make it better. We felt very much at home and safe. Now I am sad to not have booked a longer stay.

Absolutely nothing.

I give the highest score, it weighs perfectly but These people are very warm, very welcoming and I felt very good And if I returned at 12:00 at night, they always opened the gate and greeted us with a smile, large spacious room, view, quiet, pleasant energy, good vibe

There are a few small things, but not important

Friendly, feel like family and very kindly. Clean, large space and all the best. Not only me but also all guests will be happy to stay here.

We've had a wonderful stay over the last couple of days and would recommend this place to everyone! Having been on the road for the last month it was amazing to find a place where we felt at home and could properly relax and enjoy Ken and Navy's amazing hospitality! Whether it was the pumpkin noodles which especially being a coeliac was an absolute revelation, chatting about life stories, the amazing amok curry, dancing with the puppy or learning to ride a scooter, these are memories we will remember for a long time! Thank you!!!!

Everything was excellent and beautiful. The host family was so friendly, and the food was so yummy. And the scenery is fantastic.

Water was not so clean, but I think it's just like that all over Cambodia. 2nd is so hot temperature inside the room, I think it could be better if there is some thermal cover on the rooftop.

The room was large and clean and the surroundings was in the countryside so all natural and peaceful. The owners were the friendliest people we have met in 5 years living abroad. They gave us drinks and fruit when we arrived 😁

For what the price was I couldn't complain about anything and I don't write reviews often.

We were perfectly welcomed. The family super kind and very helpful. The room and the bathroom are really clean.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming people. Got welcomed when checking in with complimentary fruit and a drink. Room was comfortable, spacious and clean. The breakfast they made was tasty too.

Everything was great except the WiFi connection was a bit poor but overall a good experience.
