Silver Dolphin Guesthouse & Restaurant

Very good offer for the money you pay! The dorm room is very clean, with comfy beds and lockers. It also has a balcony with a nice view on the river. Location is quite central and you can book the dolphin tours directly with them. Big minus from my side though, as there is even a camera directly in the dorm room. This is too much of surveillance and no other hostel has this. When I asked why, the owner told me „it’s not a private room“.

The hotel is not good cleaned. The room and the towels are dirty. Fell not comfortable to eat there because the kitchen is also dirty. The laundry comes dirty back. Tried to book a dolphin tour over the hotel and the price was first 15$ and overnight he wanted then 20$. Booked then the tour at another place and as we went back the owner didn't talk anymore to us. The guesthouse is located next to a school so you wake up early because the schoolkids in cambodia sing a lot. It was loud. Would not book it again

Spent 4 nights in total. Started in Room 201 with just a fan and found that too hot. Requested a move to an air-conditioned room and got 404 on the top floor with a great deck and view of the Mekong outside. The next room was a triple with 3 double beds and aircon. Our bed was more comfortable than our own apartment bed and aircon made the hot season very bearable. The guesthouse also ran its own dolphin tours and we took up the 1/2 day kayak and dolphin tour. We had a great guide: Mr Phira who had great English and a sense of humor. We fell out of the kayak once but had lifevests and Phira assisted us to get back in and upright. We paddled as close to the dolphins as the tourist boats and all operators are careful not to get too close and scare off the dolphins. Relaxed in the afternoon. Next day took the ferry across the island and hired bicycles to leisurely pedal around the island visiting the landmarks. - only 7km in total. We finished the day with relaxing & swimming from the relaxation platforms set up along the beach-side.
