Borei Angkor Resort & Spa
Traditional Cambodian resort with carved woodwork, balcony daybeds, and quiet grounds insulated from the highway.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Borei Angkor Resort & Spa provides classic Cambodian architecture and spacious interiors with marble floors. The property remains well insulated from the noise of the busy road outside, and guests consistently praise the attentive staff hospitality. However, entry-level Deluxe Rooms look rather worn and in need of refinement compared to higher-end suites. Some travelers also note that the high price tag feels steep given its location outside the main tourist center. 1217145
