From the moment we arrived at Sala Lodges, we were absolutely enchanted. Despite our late evening arrival, several staff members were waiting to greet us with warm smiles, cool towels, and refreshing drinks — such a thoughtful welcome after a long journey. The property itself is stunning. The individual, traditional Cambodian houses are beautifully designed and surrounded by lush, perfectly maintained gardens. Our room was spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with an excellent mattress and charming details everywhere — from fresh flowers to the unique handcrafted door keys. Sala Lodges feels like a true sanctuary. We loved relaxing by the pool and waking up each morning to the sounds of birds and roosters — a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away, yet is just minutes from Siem Reap’s most famous temples. The staff are exceptional — warm, professional, and genuinely caring. They made us feel completely at home and treated us like family throughout our stay. The restaurant also deserves special praise for its delicious dishes, all beautifully presented and made with fresh ingredients. We can’t thank the Sala Lodges team enough for creating such a memorable experience. Our stay was nothing short of amazing, and we can’t wait to return!

The Sala Lodges team embody hospitality and can be role models for 'how to do it' going beyond the fundamentals, and finding and executing the meaningful small touches, whether that be something physical as a gift/treat, or to the personalised service and recognition as individual guests. This isn't achieved by many hotel or hospitality organisations, but Sala Lodges achieve what it means to be hospitable. We experienced the balance of highly professional, but equally kind, warm and focused service from every team member. No exception.
