Lazy Mango Home Stay

A truly authentic Cambodian experience. This is an amazing Cambodian family that you stay with in their home. We learnt so much about Cambodia as a country and how they live. They treat you as their own family and look after you so so well. A water dispenser with hot/warm/cold water, bananas to help yourself to, amazing food, hammocks to relax in and tea to drink. The highlight for us was the food that was made - you are invited to join the family for dinner for a small cost and Mom the hosts sister cooks a variety of fresh, delicious Cambodian dishes which we couldn’t resist both nights. The host Harry is so welcoming and has a tuk tuk so if you need tours of Battambang he’s your man. Harry speaks amazing English and knows so much about Cambodia after having been a tour guide for many years. The mother and father of the house treat you as their own and share personal experiences from living/working through the Khmer Rouge. Overall, if you’re looking for a real taste of Cambodia and a wholesome time - STAY HERE!

Not a bad word.

On a beaucoup aimé l’accueil de la famille d’Harry et la cuisine de sa sœur. On conseille d’y rester dîner le soir. On a bien aimé le tour dans la région nord avec Harry, qui a beaucoup d’anecdotes à raconter. La visite du marché avec lui était particulièrement un bon moment.

Une piste d’amélioration : rajouter une table, des chaises et des rangements dans la chambre

We (@gus_y_dani) stayed at this homestay during our trip around Asia, which has now been going on for five months, and honestly, it was one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve had so far. It was the first time in Asia that we felt so comfortable with a local family, almost as if we were at home. The place is run by a lovely elderly couple. The owner is very kind, open-minded, generous, and always happy to talk about anything. Every day he would bring us something: bananas, mangoes, pineapple, or some local food to try. His wife was also wonderful with us; she often cooked something and shared it with us in such a natural and kind way. Best Muslim food!! The whole family was very welcoming. They have six children, and during our stay we had the chance to meet three of them. Harry organizes tuk-tuk tours, their daughter runs a café on the same street where you can have very good coffee and delicious iced tea, and another son was also very kind to us. Soon we will also meet a fourth son, who has a restaurant in another city that we are planning to visit. It is really beautiful to see such a united, simple, and genuine family. As for the accommodation, we stayed in the wooden house upstairs and felt very comfortable. There was a good mosquito net, so we never had any problems with mosquitoes or insects at night. We opened the windows, slept with natural air, and rested very well. During the hottest months, it might be difficult to sleep with only a fan, as they also explained to us, but there is also an air-conditioned option at a reasonable price. So I recommend checking the season and choosing the room that suits you best. Overall, we highly recommend this place. We didn’t expect to feel so good here, and if we had had more time, we would have loved to stay much longer. An authentic, family-style experience full of kindness. We will carry this place in our hearts.

The whole family was great! I have stay incl. breakfast and both my days I had dinner in accommodation too and both were very delicious. The room was quit, modestly furnished but exactly what I wanted from this kind of accommodation.
