This hotel is one of the authentic hotels. It was very clean and well maintained. The staff and Management I would rate a 10 out of 10 rooms had great views over the pool food was amazing.

My wife and I stayed at the Belmond for a couple of nights on our honey moon. This hotel is incredible, it is located in the middle of the city but it has a very jungle and nature environment. The pool opens 24 h, the rooms are very clean and luxurious, and the spa is the best one I have seen in my life (opens until 10PM and facility is indescribable). The attention was outstanding and the breakfa...

I stayed at the Belmond in Siem Reap with my family for 3 days 2 nights in early August. It was our first stay with the brand and must say it did not disappoint!! The hotel is an older residence which is full of charm all the while you have luxury comforts and amenities. It’s a private oasis! The hotel offers free daily activities and the Friday we arrived it was a cocktail reception. Excellent va...

très chic! loved the location, the staff and the updated rooms. The spa service was great and the food pretty decent. I'd highly recommend Belmond La Residence. The Hotel coordinated with my travel agent a well rehearsed tour of the temples, taking care of the appropriate order to avoid crowds. Biggest issue was experiencing sunrise sans hoards of tourist, the hotel went beyond and scouted out...
