Kaoh Trong

Kaoh Trong is a river island accessible from the town of Kratié, in Cambodia, on the Mekong. The establishment, rated 4-star, offers homestay accommodation, which gives it a genuinely local character and immersion into the island's everyday life.

Why stay here

We selected this accommodation for travelers who wish to go beyond a simple visit to the island and stay for one or two nights, living alongside a local family. It's an option suited to those who value human connection and discovering the rhythm of Cambodian rural life, rather than the standardized comfort of a city hotel.

Visitors who spend time on the island unanimously highlight the appeal of exploring it by bicycle — bicycles are available upon disembarking the ferry — to ride through the grapefruit, papaya and jackfruit orchards that dot the paths. Several reviews emphasize the importance of arriving early in the morning to enjoy the cool air and avoid the afternoon heat. One thing to keep in mind: scooter traffic on the narrow paths can surprise cyclists unaccustomed to it.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere of Kaoh Trong is that of an agricultural village operating in near self-sufficiency, with its own school and local fruit production. The pace is slow, the vegetation dense, and interactions take place on a village-community scale. The homestay formula places your stay in an authentic setting, free from tourist artifice.

The rooms

Accommodation is offered exclusively as a homestay, in a local home. The room accommodates up to 2 adults and 1 child, with configurations available in double bed, twin beds, single bed or triple or quadruple arrangements depending on availability. No details on the specific amenities of the rooms are available at this stage; we invite you to contact us for any comfort-related questions.
