TARA LODGE Haven of peace

The garden and the pool were the best feature of this hotel. Unfortunately being rainy season it was full of mosquitos and they did not have anything to protect you from their attacks - neither spirals, sprays, mosquito nets, so we could not properly enjoy it. During the dry season this is probably not an issue. The room was big, the bed comfortable, the relaxation area in front of the room was also nice. I also enjoyed breakfast.

The room was very wet, moist even because there was no window in the bathroom and all humidity entered the furniture, drapes, the air. You could not open the door because of mosquitos, so it was rather unpleasant. Also compared to other hotels in Cambodia it was rather expensive and not good value for money. We tried the restaurant and the food was ordinary, not to say bad. And another thing which was rather strange: they threatened to charge 50USD fine if you brought drinks into the room.

- The lodge is just beautiful and relaxing. The room is huge, cosy and comfortable. There is a big terrace in front of the rooms which is great! - The swimming pool - water is less warm than in other hotels and not full of chlorine - really nice to be able to swim a bit instead of getting red eyes - The food in the hotel is excellent! - The girl working there was always smiling and very nice, the owner is also friendly

The tuktuk was quite expensive and you need it to get around

The soft pillow The Mixed Tempura was delicious The large balcony The relaxed vibe Cocktails

Nothing

Fabulous property for my weekend getaway from the city. It’s like a hidden gem in the jungle, very green, quiet, and relaxing. I just wish I could have spent more time there. I really enjoyed the comfortable, quiet room, which had a great resort-like vibe. The breakfast included in the package was simple but enough to fuel us for the day. The pool was probably my favorite; I spent about an hour swimming, surrounded by trees and plants.

The Wi-Fi was unstable during our stay, which was a bit inconvenient as we needed it for work. The AC also stopped during the night and the front cover wasn’t functioning properly. I didn’t have time to report it at check-out, but it may need checking for future guests. Despite these minor issues, we still really enjoyed our one-night stay which is why I rated everything with full score.
