The problem here is so many great reviews for the bar/restaurant and very few for the accommodation. The whole place is very attractive with a real eye for style, unfortunately there is no eye for cleaning. The room we stayed in was not serviced at all over our stay; beds unmade, bins not emptied, towels not replaced but hung over fence to air them, one bottle of water supplied the first night only, no fridge in the room. There was an issue with water supply our first night which meant the lavatory would not flush. We dealt with it the next morning. Showers are cold. On two occasions we used the bar none of three cocktails on the menu I asked for were available. Other than a board offering cold cuts/cheese and a request to order paella 24 hours in advance there was no sign of a menu. The bar/restaurant/lounge area would also benefit from a clean. Some of the armchairs have open box type armrests which are really dusty, table tops are stained and the lovely large lampshades have cobwebs. Thank you for the feedback. I believe I have also responded to your partners 2 similar reviews already so I won't repeat myself again too much here. We don't list the guest rooms through Tripadvisor - we use booking.com as you know (and where I have responded to your other review). The tripadvisor listing is for the bar lounge where we explain we don't have a full restaurant menu, we serve bar snacks and as you said, paella with 24 hours notice. The water pump was fixed as soon as possible and it is unfortunate that this coincided with your stay. The showers are hot as long as you press the orange button under the shower unit - apologies if this wasn't clear/explained to you. All details of the room facilities are listed fully on booking.com. We offer simple accommodation (which doesn't include fridges in the rooms or daily cleaning for stays less than 4 days) but we would have been happy for you to use one of the fridges in the kitchen if you'd asked us, or given you an ice box, given you more towels etc - we can normally help find a solution to most queries if we know about them at the time. Our bar is cleaned 6/7 days a week but with it being open and on the beach/seafront, we cannot avoid some dust/sand blowing in throughout the day and finally the lamps are too high to clean daily but I take on board that comment and will make sure that they are de-cobwebbed! (although the cobwebs do help keep bugs at bay :)I understand that it is disappointing when you are travelling to arrive somewhere and it not meet your expectations. However I would urge you also to read all the information carefully before booking, and also please give small businesses a chance to overcome any concerns when you are there by discussing them in person rather than saying nothing at the time and leaving multiple reviews. We want to make sure our customers are happy and that our service is of a high standard and generally we achieve this so I'm sorry that we didn't meet the bar for you and your partner. Best wishes.

Kimly Restaurant

Reviewed By JulieROrlando

We went here many times during our 4 night stay. It is super close to the sea and a great view for sunset etc. The food was excellent and so much choice, Asian and western! Having been sick for 4 days after eating in PP we were cautious but the food was great and we didn't have any follow up issues...

We drove here on our hired mopeds, kindly organised by Villa Kep. The staff were welcoming and we enjoyed our food. My adult children all ordered a crab dish and were surprised they were whole and found them tricky to open, however the waiter gave them a demo and kindly helped them, There are some amazing crafts for sale and i spent as much on gifts as we had on the meal. Well worth a visit.

La Baraka Lounge Bar and Restaurant

Reviewed By WaratahPastoralCo

I said this last year when we ate at this pizzeria and this time I mean it. 9 of us arrived 5pm for sunset (this is the Main attraction of eating at this strip of restaurants) and were closely followed by several other groups. We are told we can order pizza only as the chef doesn't arrive until 6pm. Not the end of the world but so much else we wanted to try with cheese platters, oysters, foi gras, salmon mousse etc all on the menu but... Not till 6pm. We ordered pizza which was average at best. The female staff was just plain surly same last year although the khmer chap who spoke English restored some order. They don't take credit cards cash only and atm nearby not working so it was suggested we drive across to the beach. No other solutions from the fabulously disinterested French owner . Well....yes...there was... The ever heplful Kim Ly restaurant cash advanced my card with a smile.There are other Italian pizza options that will get our business next time.

Delicious traditional Khmer food from our restaurant by the Secret Lake, or why not take a cooking class?

Reviewed By loste479

I really reccomend to organize a stop here with your tuk tuk driver, better to organize one day in advance, yo cook your own menu choice, just paying the cost of it (nothing for the class)

This is a little establishments with seats at the seaside. Nice ambience. The food is simply delicious and reasonably priced. We had several crab entrees: crab kroeung, green pepper crab, crab clay pot, all of which have unique flavors and it is hard to choose which is the best. What a great dinner!
