Northwestern Cambodia
Arguably, the best option in Anlong Veng, this place offers clean rooms with massive hardwood beds. The newer annexe looks out on Ta Mok’s Lake (well, swamp), and the kind owner, Tola, speaks excellent English. He can help arrange tours of the nearby sights and mountain camping trips in the dry season.
The guesthouse is a few hundred metres east of the Dove of Peace roundabout on the road to Preah Vihear.
