[Closed] Guesthouse Review: BlueHome Villa II, Phnom Penh – Cambodia

February 29, 2016 By James Clark

BlueHome Villa II, Phnom Penh - Cambodia

Guesthouse Name: BlueHome Villa II
Address: #7B, Street 184, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

[Edit: This guest house has now closed. The review is left as an archive.]

I stayed at the BlueHome Villa II in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I booked online at the rate of $8.24 USD per night and booked it for its location. This was my third stay in Phnom Penh over the month as I was transiting through here on the way to Siem Reap and then Battambang.

I had stayed in other Phnom Penh guesthouses under $10 and this one was the best of the lot. As per the last places I wasn’t expecting much for under $10 – just a place to crash.

The BlueHome Villa II is a guesthouse that doubles as a travel agency and has a more backpacker vibe than the other places I stayed. They have a little bar and place to socialise out the front.

I got a double room with a private bathroom, though I was placed in this double + single room because the double was not available. There was no window, which I don’t usually book, but there was light from the hallway coming in via the bathroom.

The bed was comfortable and the room and a fan and A/C option. The A/C option costs extra and I got by with the fan.

Bedroom

The bathroom was clean and tidy, though a little narrow and barely enough room to sit on the toilet. The shower had an instant hot water system with good pressure.

Bathroom

No problem with the wifi in my room.

Overall this was a decent guesthouse suitable for backpackers looking for a private budget room.
