RaVorn Villa Boutique

I used to live in Cambodia. I've stayed in worse places than this. Reality rarely matches the pictures and given the cost I thought it would be an ok spot. Unfortunately the reality is that this place is nothing like what you see online. The photos look like they were taken at least a decade ago, because the property today is nothing like what's advertised. This place was probably nice when they built it, but clearly nothing has been replaced or properly repaired since. The grounds are overgrown, and the facilities are badly worn out. The rusty pool umbrellas look like they're being held together by little more than hope and baling wire, ready to collapse on top of a guest at any moment, and the fabric has so many black spots that we genuinely couldn't tell if it was mold or just years of collected dirt. Many of the planters are full of stagnant water making for a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Our room had one problem after another. The mattress was hard as a rock, the air conditioning barely worked, and if you turned it off for even a couple of hours the room developed a strong musty smell. The "Khmer Traditional Shower" behind the room turned out to be nothing more than a basin of dirty, stagnant water. On top of that, the handle came off the rear door the first time I closed it. The staff weren't particularly helpful either. We asked for extra pillows and were told there weren't any clean ones available, only dirty ones and would need to pay extra. Even though we booked as a family, our children's room was placed on the opposite side of the property. When we explained why we were unhappy and decided to leave a day early, the hotel refused to refund the unused night. This was absolutely not worth what we paid. There are cheap backpacker hostels in Battambang with nicer facilities for less money. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere.

Lo staff gentile e disponibile

Le camere sono molto decadenti, le pulizie un po’ grossolane, tutto è molto usurato o poco pulito: tenda della doccia molto sporca, viene dato un solo asciugamano a testa. Manca un comodino, i cartelli con le indicazioni sino vecchi, logori e con indicazioni inesatte o traduzioni imprecise. Nessuno parla inglese al ristorante che a colazione è stato un grosso problema

Stay was nice. Bed was thin and hard but I had the best sleep.

This hotel is okay but needs a bit updating. Its quite a way out of town so you have to be happy to use tuktuks

Très joli jardin, lieu calme

Hôtel vieillissant et équipements fatigués

Feel like a nice oasis. Cute garden.

Very friendly and helpful reception staff; two great guys but no other staff were visible. Rooms were not made; bins unemptied; no refreshment of water or tea etc some mouldy pool umbrellas that could have been replaced. Pool is lovely and a delight. The on site restaurant was okay and the staff very attentive.

Really quiet and quaint, cozy cottage-like rooms. Staff wonderful and friendly. Would have loved a few additional English language TV channels.

I love breakfast

This hotel was perfect for us as a family with connecting rooms. Both bedrooms were huge and traditional style but clean. The bathrooms just need a bit of maintenance (one toilet lid broken off plus shampoo and shower gel containers missing from wall etc) The pool is brilliant, kids loved it - small inner walled shallow area for little ones too. Very clean. Reception/service is basic and i would go into Battambang (reception called us a tuk-tuk, guy named Jacky Chan! He was great so ask for him) for all meals. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel but breakfast wasn't great to be honest. Bit pricey for what it is but for young families I'd recommend!

Best place we have ever stayed in our lives! For family, bigger or small groups. You will not find anything better than this!

Clean and the staff are nice

The staff were friendly and helpful. It was clean and quiet

The hotel has a great staff! The facilities were good. I had breakfast, laundry and parked on the premises. They have a nice pool. I asked for some additional things which were easily accommodated. For the money I would recommend this property.

Handy location for a road trip to the border

Need to currect the note in the bathroom about the cold and hot water. The TV it's not working.

Looks older than photographs and the rooms had a few additional occupants (spiders and lizards) which did not both us. We just should them out. The pool looked clean and well maintained but we did not use it. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and welcoming. The food in the connected restaurant was very good and the service was warm and friendly.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. The room is a free standing unit. It’s a bit noisy with the club nearby that plays loud music until about midnight. The room and bathroom could use a facelift. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

Our room was spacious and clean. The pool was also great. As a plant lover it was total paradise for me. The trees and flowers were absolutely gorgeous!! The staff was absolutely amazing and accommodating. My only complaint is the wifi is a little slow.

Bruyant cause de la fête

Very nice pool and garden. The rooms from the outside are beautiful. The staff is very nice and did its best to help us, even if some of them were not speaking very well English. Within the rooms it’s another story. Equipments are old, the fridge was disgusting, so was the bathroom. I found The hotel restaurant a bit expensive and the food not really good comparing with what he had so far in Siem Reap and Battambang city center. It’s a pity because it’s a bit far away from the city center, and there’s no free shuttle as it’s mentioned in their Expedia description

People were nice but shower had no curtains

Property is not like the pictures . Non traditional western hotel. Bed uncomfortable , limited and older amenities

Fairly clean resort. Large room. Good for family vacation.

It’s difficult to write a review like this, when the staff were so friendly and doing their best and with the surrounding gardens lovely. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the hotel it was clear that there were no other guests so therefore the pool was not cleaned and we were told not to go in it. The room was overall okay but things were dated (especially in the bathroom where things were broken) and it needed a refurbish. The main town was 15mins Tuk tuk away which was quite inconvenient but we did find a few good restaurants. We also got a Tuk Tuk for the day supplied by the hotel to see the bamboo train, bag caves and circus which were all great and would recommend.

nice place to stay

Very hard bed, not comfortable at all

Pool is dirty

A lovely oasis of calm - beautiful rooms, great pool and friendly staff who were very helpful organizing a tuk-tuk tour for us. The room was especially nice - very clean and comfortable. The staff helped sort out any minor issues we had and we really enjoyed our stay.

Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed while we were there, and the location means you have to travel quite far to get breakfast. I would advise having a ride sharing app (e.g. Grab or Passapp) as it's not always easy to get a passing tuk-tuk.

Beautiful rooms, big bathroom with a massive tub great for families.

The staff were excellent - very welcoming and receptive. However, unfortunately probably due to the impact of Covid the hotel is in need of some repairs. Guests should be warned how far out of town and anywhere to eat is, especially as this hotel has closed its restaurant and pool bar. No where local to buy food except the marketplace with few options. Toilet blocked, room not cleaned, nor water replenished during our stay.

Checked out after 2hrs; arrived at checkin to be told they could order us in some pizzas as their restaurant had just closed & wouldn't be reopening...pretty sure it had been closed for years. Nowhere nearby (walking) to even grab breakfast in the morning. After 2 hours aircon still wasn't working in any of our 3 rooms. We decided to head to VV hotel Battambang as at least it's central (& plenty of local Khmer food options) Not even a tuktuk available nearby so had to get reception to book us one. If you don't need food or drink, maybe give it a try, sadly not for us

Very friendly staff. The pool is really nice and the bed comfortable. The only lowlight was no restaurant at the hotel, but you have options nearby.

Swimming pool is good

Room is not nice , air conditioner not work well And price is quite expensive than booking by app

The pool and outer surroundings where fine.

On their booking.com page it stood that there was a restaurant, room service, minibar, kidsroom, and they could speak a bit of English, but non of those things where the case. The room was very dirty.

It was quiet and clean and secluded with great foliage

It was removed from good food options and the restaurant did not have a cook over the weekend

when I stayed there, I really love the vibes and view. especially staff really helpful and friendly.

Just one thing is in the toilet, the bad smell from the savage.

Initially we checked into another hotel but it was unacceptable in every aspect. We moved here after seeing it and booking via Experia. Nice rooms and pool area. Some renovation to add a Restaurant which will definitely be nicer as a full stay in facility later.

Awrsome customer service. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely hotel / friendly staff. Loved the out door areas & pool. A little out from the main part of town but still easily accessible. Definitely would stay there again!

3 rooms/2 nights As a stranger in foreign country. My family wanted to move out the first night but I did not want to upset the owner. The rooms were not prepared at all. There were nearly emptied Shampoo and liquid soap. At midnight there were Gecko/Lizards screaming and Dogs barking constantly very unpleasant stayed and unable to get a good night sleep. We decided not stayed the second night, so we turned in the three keys in that morning. We lost money on the second night which we did not stay. Refusal to give us a refund, so we Lost money. I am not recommended this Hotel.

Ravorn Villa is a charming family run boutique hotel. Not upscale or pretentious, the poolside rooms provide basic comfort and ready access to a cool dip amid lush and well tended gardens. The food served on site is acceptable and while a 10 minute drive away from the hustle and bustle of the river front area, it is handy enough to plentiful dining option and readily accessible to routes to see the out of town sites such as the Bat Cave and Bamboo Train both no more than 30 minutes away. Highly recommend for familes or anyone wanting a bit of luxury on a tight budget.

It was very quiet, except for the last morning when there was a wedding. Big pool, good size room and courtyard. Very friendly staff and owners. A little bit out of town but tuk tuk drivers only charge 1-3 dollars

Communication prior to arrival was good and arrival check in was quick and easy. Website photos do not tell the complete story as the hotel and its facilities are looking tired and needing investment or refurbishment. There were very few people staying during our two nights and although we did try food in the restaurant we decided to eat elsewhere for the rest of our stay. The pool was a nice temperature but appeared to be dirty with cloudy water. Rooms are spacious but no shower curtain to prevent the bathroom getting soaked after a shower. The outside space (for the room) was not welcoming and had rolls of razor wire on top of the 6ft high boundary wall to prevent unwanted access to the hotel (we think). For us, it was a place to rest but we spent most of our time exploring the local area and in the main town in the evening.

This hotel is run by a family. They are very kind, helpful, informative and gracious. The room had wonderful air conditioning. The pool was very nice to swim in. They can call for a tuk tuk for you. Our driver was Prohass. He was excellent. Very careful driver, kind, punctual, safe and dependable. The location is fine as we never really could orient ourselves to where we were in Battambang! Most of the things we did were only a 10-15 minute tuk tuk ride in distance.

Would recommend this hotel for a visit to Battambang. The staff were lovely, really friendly and helpful and made you feel welcome. Absolutely nothing was a problem to them and they organised all of our travel arrangments whilst staying there. The rooms were spacious and kept really clean by the staff. The accommodation was in a quiet area, and was peaceful in the evenings. It was great to get up in the morning and walk straight from your room for an early morning swim before breakfast. I

The Ravorn Villa Boutique is a hotel with a pool and is located about 2.5km outside the town centre. After initial confusion about the room. We had booked a Junior Suite which here is a basic guest room, I managed to upgrade by paying extra to a Superior room which had the two double beds we needed for 3 adults sharing a room! The owner was insisting on being paid a lot more for the room and it was only by showing the difference in cost in Expedia that I eventually bargained it down to a smaller amount. The breakfast is sparse and you have to order it so there is a little bit of a delay - also didn't have a toaster to make toast.

The hotel was generally quite good, but a bit out of the way. My main issue with this hotel was when we checked in, they provided us breakfast vouchers for the following morning. Once we had ordered the following morning, the lady told us that breakfast actually wasn't included and we had to paid USD5 per person. If you stay here be sure to clarify this when checking in to avoid any surprise.

Nice hotel out of main town but easy to reach by tut tut Staff were lovely and Sarah extremely helpful Breakfast was a let down as buffet style but not kept hot so everything was cold but you could order from menu.

Rooms are good for a mid level hotel. Breakfast needs to be set up better. Put a heat source under the baine maries so that the items inside stay warm.

The good. Lovely swimming pool and grounds. Nice big rooms. The bad. When we arrived we asked if it was OK to cancel our hotel organised transfer to Phnom Penh. Reception staff said that’s fine no problems. How wrong was that. The next day we were hassled about it and was asked to see manager. There seems to be bad communication between staff and management or miss communication due to language issues. We ended up going with the hotel transfer booking otherwise issues would have got worse. The spoiled the atmosphere there with the staff. Our pool towels were not changed the next day. In the afternoon we had to request new ones. The fridge did not work at restaurant that contained the beer. The umbrellas shades were mouldy and were semi rotten.

The hotel and their staff are really nice and peaceful. The rooms and rest of the property is very well maintained. The hotel is a bit away from the city center but the reception staff can arrange transportation easily and conveniently. I really enjoyed my stay there with my husband and 5 year old.

The staff spoke English very well, this was very helpful. The room was very clean and the towels smelled so good and fresh.

The room and grounds are lovely and the pool is large and inviting. It is very peaceful and relaxing and the staff are polite. However it is quite far from town and I wasn’t given a map or any information about the town. The staff are nice but not terribly helpful. I asked to book a bus to Siem Reap and although I checked 3 times that it had been booked when I went to check out they told me they had not booked it as it was full. I don’t know if there was a communication problem or they just made an error but they were not very helpful fixing the problem. The internet and tv did not work in the room after 6pm and from about 6:30 onwards there were continual short blackouts about every 10 minutes so I couldn’t even read. If you want a restful break you should stay here, but be aware there may be problems.

The place was an oasis, just a little out of town away from the hustle and bustle. Staff were very friendly and helped us with trips and sight seeing. Rooms were big and clean. The food was excellent too.

We just stay a night after a 7 hours boat trip coming from Siem Reap. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful to get tickets for the "local circus" and to organize a car to follow up on our trip. Nice swimming pool and lovely garden. We highly recommend.

Absolutely Amazing! The family that owns these beautiful villas are absolutely amazing! The staff is so friendly and helpful. These villas are a little piece of paradise. I extended my stay numerous times. I stayed there for over two weeks. I travel a lot and work in the hospitality industry so that should say a lot.

Wonderful, caring staff, great local location, home away from home

Great staff and ownership. Treated me very, very well. This place is a hidden gem. Great ambiance with the landscape within the villas. I loved the location too. It is in a "locals" area. I enjoyed the restaurant. Good selection or local and western type food. The pool is an added bonus. Things to take note of: The villas are landscaped very well. There are ponds, trees, bushes, vines, artistic standing water areas, etc. This means there will be some "wildlife" frogs, fish, lizards, etc. around the property. I enjoyed it(truly)... except for having one of those lizards make himself my roommate. They are very hard to get out, once they are in. If you are not into nature, those things might affect you. A/C worked well. Wifi worked well. Satellite worked pretty well. I travel a lot. I recommend this property.

Ravorn is a great family run business. Rooms are very spacious and clean, pool and gardens are beautiful. Although its about 3km from the centre of Battambang the hotel has bikes to use free of charge or they can arrange a tuk tuk for just $2. Alternatively it's only about a 15 minute walk. The thing I love most about Ravorn is that the family employs locals from rural areas and trains them well, giving a great opportunity to these locals who can then financially aid their families. This is soo important for the development of Cambodia and the local people. Well done Ravorn for your great work!

We had a pleasant stay at Ravorn Villa. It is a family run business. And if you want to support the local economy, supporting local family businesses like this is the way to go. The place is a hidden gem: quiet and separated from the noise of downtown center. They have a breakfast option, and a lovely swimming pool. Overall, we enjoyed out stay.

The hotel was a little out of town and it sometimes took a while to get a tuk tuk. The staff were lovely but maybe need a little more training. The room was great value for money and the pool is brilliant. Restaurant is not great.

We had a great stay. The family and staff are very friendly. English is basic for some staff, but be patient, they are learning and will put the effort in to sort out whatever you need. And anyway, my Khmer is non-existent, so well done! Ravorn Villa is a bit out of town, however has a great pool and is in a quiet area. They have bikes, which we used to go to the bamboo train in the morning and to go into town in the later afternoon. Food onsite is very good as well. Rooms are large and clean.

A gem. The welcome and care I was offered by the family was truly extraordinary, even for as friendly a country as Cambodia. As a solo traveler on a months long trip through South East Asia one often has moments of longing for home. Here I felt at home.

We have stayed at all kinds of hotels, but nothing with the kind of hospitality that Ravorn Hotel showed us! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and it felt like home away from home. I even got to spend some time in the kitchen learning how to cook a couple of Khmer dishes! We chose to eat most of our meals at the hotel because it very affordable and tasted great. The owner speaks good English and we learned many interesting facts about the area.

brilliant place to stay, not central but a tuk-tuk is only a couple of dollars for a ride. Great room with stunning outdoor shower. Staff were very frendly and helpful, highly recommended!
