AHHA Bungalow Kampot

Forty-eight hours in Kampot's riverside quarter feels longer at AHHA Bungalow, a small guesthouse set back from the Praek Tuek Chhu where the pace of the old French-colonial town keeps schedules loose.

The property draws a 9.7 rating from early guests — rare for any category — suggesting rooms are clean, staff attentive, and the surrounding salt-flat landscape visible from the grounds. Kampot's night market and Durian Roundabout, the town's informal centre, sit within walking distance.

Kampot serves as the base for Bokor Hill Station, 35km west, and the pepper plantations that supply some of Southeast Asia's most prized black pepper. Kep's crab shacks are a 25-minute tuk-tuk ride east.
