Guest houses DAHLIA Guesthouse

We had a wonderful stay at Ellen’s guesthouse. The place is cosy, full of little attentions for the guests. The patio with hammocks and pillows is wonderful in the morning to take a coffee. The rooms are well equipped and very clean (on a much higher level that you can find on average in South-East Asia). We enjoyed a lot our stay in Koh Rong Samloem and I couldn’t recommend you more to give a shot at this guesthouse.

Where to start... it felt like home from the first day till the last ! Ellen js amazing, so kind and helpful and the guesthouse is just lovely - great view, clean private rooms, common spaces downstairs and upstairs., Bianca who worked there via "workaway" is so great and friendly ! The house is a bit on a hill so the view js great and its very quiet there but still super close to the beach and everything. This island is a very special place,, and so is the Dahlia guesthouse:) thanks for everything and im gonna try really hard to come back soon!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Dahlia. It's situated in a charming local neighborhood filled with delightful restaurants and bars. Ellen's house is spacious, featuring a large lobby where you can work, relax, or enjoy a coffee—Ellen even has a real coffee maker! The entrance is impeccably clean, just like the rest of the house. The room only had a fan, but that wasn't an issue; the window with a net screen provided fantastic ventilation. The cold water in the bathroom wasn't as cold as you might expect, but it was at a pleasant temperature. If you need hot water in a shower, it's conveniently available downstairs, there is bathroom you can use. There's also a kitchen where you can prepare a sandwich or slice some fruit to enjoy on a plate. Everything is tidy and user-friendly. You can also make free refill of your bottles! And there is also a fridge to store your meal / cool your bottles... You can pay by card upon your arrival at the property. It's just a short walk from the pier, but I wouldn't recommend bringing a suitcase; a backpack is much more practical due to the lack of regular roads. One of the highlights of M'Pai village is definitely the food. There are numerous fantastic restaurants! After my experience in Koh Rong, where finding good food was a challenge, this felt like a culinary paradise. Seapony is perfect for breakfast, while Dragonfly is great for drinks and light meals—especially their baba ganoush with flatbread! I ended up extending my stay because the location was simply wonderful. For 5usd you can take a water taxi to other beaches but I prefered M´Pai vibes.

The property is cosy, homely, well-kept and maintained, and has a relaxed vibe that reflects its location.

We loved our stay here. Ellen was so welcoming as soon as we arrived as well as before our arrival giving us tips on how to get there! She gave us water and sat us down to give us a mini talk through the island, what to do and recommended places to eat/drink which was super helpful. Our room was very clean, and decorated in a chic and stylish way. The bathroom even had complimentary handmade shampoo and body wash which was a real treat! Location was also great, 3 min walk to the beach. Strong WiFi and cosy hammock lounging areas if you need a break from the sand & sea! Lovely place! ⭐️

This is a great little guesthouse only a short walk from both the pier - where the ferry drops you off - all the local food spots, as well as the little secluded beach, that lays just over the golden bridge. Ellen and her support staff were really kind and welcoming, offering advice and the loan of hammocks for the beach. The downstairs area is really large and inviting, whilst the balcony upstairs offers an amazing view of the sea and the opposing island. Both great spots for hanging out, if you want to chill away from the beach. The room itself was clean and beautifully decorated, with a wall mounted electric fan and a small bathroom, equipped with a shower that runs deliciously cool after a long day in the heat. Whilst the island is made up of a community of western expats, with lots of cafes and restaurants around which cater to vegan needs. There are no ATMs though, so bring cash or be prepared to pay on card. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend Dahlias as somewhere to stay!

Loved our stay, Ellen was a lovely host and we felt very at home here. The little details made the place such as the hammocks, books to read, filtered water and the luxury toiletries in the bathroom. We were given recommendations on things to do on the island. We were surprised by all the good food options on this small island and the beaches were amazing.
