What a fantastic place, from the moment we fell off the bus we were made to feel fantastically welcome and the lodge very quickly became a home away from home, albeit with far more beautiful surroundings and so much more tranquility.

What a hospitality! It is an amazing lodge on an amazing spot in Cambodia. Honestly, I did not know Cambodia had this beautiful place to offer. The variety of food and the peaceful environment give me the strength to return to Penh... I'll definitely spread the word out. Everyone deserves time like the last 4 days of mine.

2nd time here, few months after the 1st amazing weekend. The place remains as magic and great as when we enjoyed it in September ... Food is as gorgeous as I remembered ... Looking forward to next time.

After having a wonderfull, relaxing time with colleagues the first time, I was keen to come back. Knew it would be a totally different experience with 16 students but didn't imagine that it would be equally as good! This is the best school trip I have ever been on. The atmosphere here - relaxed, well fed, fun activities - meant people were content the whole time. It was marvelous.

Staying here at this unique and magical place has been the highlight of my trip to Cambodia. The beauty and serenity of the lodge, the river and the Cardamom mountains has been a wonderful experience and I have loved the trekking, the swimming, the kayaking, the relaxing and ... the fabulous food!!!

Wonderful stay in a wonderful place with charming hosts, to say nothing of the cooking!!!

We've had the most amazing, adventurous (yet relaxing!) escape from Phnom Penh weekend. Food was so, so delicious - loved everything about our weekend.

January 2009
...It was like taking a holiday off travelling.

January 2009
...It was exactly what we needed to end the final leg of our trip. Cambodia needs more places like this.

A real experience for all the senses: the smell of the jungle, the sight of the lazy rolling river, the sound of the gibbons singing, the feel of the cool river water at the waterfall after the jungle trek and the taste of Janet's yummy food.

Thank you so much for a very pleasant and enormously 'pampered' stay at Rainbow Lodge. The food was fantastic, the sights breathtaking and the company great fun.

December 2008
This place is a little paradise and you and your team are great. There is nothing I could complain about.

November 2008
The five hour bus trip from Phnom Penh on the best road in Cambodia somehow didn't seem long enough to account for arriving in this place - so far removed from the bustling city ... Even five nights feels like too short a trip.

November 2008
We came for two nights and stayed five. I think that says it all! We've had a fantastic stay, the setting is amazing and the bungalows are far more comfortable than you might expect for an ecolodge.

October 2008
Brilliant adventures all around the lodge, great food and exceptional service!! (It's underpriced, basically).

October 2008
Thanks for an amazing time, beautiful place, food, experiences - couldn't have been better.

September 2008
An amazing location and great people. It is the kind of place where it can rain the whole time (which it did) and you can still have a wonderful time.

September 2008
It's really paradise here.

September 2008
Our best weekend in Cambodia. Love, well-being and serenity are here.

August 2008
The bungalows were cozy, inviting, picturesque. The staff were friendly and the food amazing. Overall better than I could've imagined.

June 2008
Thank you for such a relaxing and adventurous time! It is rare to get both! We loved the food, the bungalows, the service and the conversations! The boat adventure up to the rapods was amazing. Thanks for making it such a memorable trip. We will definitely come back and bringing friends.

This place is paradise! Loved every relaxed minute of our time here. Food was excellent, company superb and the time unfortunately too short. We would have loved to have stayed longer. Always will be remembered as one of the highlights of our trip.

May 2008
Thank you for a great weekend! Rainbow Lodge is an amazing place and I wouldn't mind staying for a year. The Beautiful scenery, friendly faces and the picturesque bungalows has made Rainbow Lodge one of my most memorable experiences in Asia. I will definitely be back.

May 2008
The Rainbow Lodge is destined to turn Koh Kong from a town you pass through, to a town you place high on your list of must sees! ... Three nights is not enough time, it went so fast. I definitely plan to return when I need some more of the best food, best scenery and best hospitality available in Asia.
...
Once again many thanks ... I can't believe my two-night stay and turned into eleven but I plan to add to the tally very soon ... I still have four bungalows left to stay in!

April 2008
The best of all places I have been to on my two months of travel through S.E. Asia ... so my planned two nights turned into seven unforgettable nights.

BBQ in a cave

Our stay was like a dream. The lodge makes the jungle a cozy place to be. Wonderful nature sounds and views, friendly atmosphere, good food and lovely bungalows ... What else did we need to feel away from Phnom Penh ... I have never seen such a beautiful place, especially after being in Phnom Penh for seven weeks. My stomach made a little jump. I will definitely come back! Soon!
And they did come back in June! Please read their second visit entry written in French in the guest book at Rainbow Lodge

March 2008
What a wonderful few days we have had at Rainbow Lodge, we have been truly spoilt. With swims in the waterfall, treks in the jungle, lounging on our balconies reading books and indulging in the most wonderful food ... This is the place to relax, get back in touch with nature and enjoy the magic of the jungle.

March 2008
Don't make the same mistake we did and leave your visit to Rainbow Lodge to the end of your Cambodian holiday. This place deserves far more than the three days we spent here!

March 2008
Rainbow Lodge has by far been one of the best places we have stayed in S.E. Asia. Beautiful views, awesome food and great company. The atmosphere is truly amazing ... We are very sad to leave and wish we could stay longer.

March 2008
The quietest place in Cambodia with very good food and best accommodations. THE PLACE for nature lovers.

February 2008
These 3 days have been just wonderful. We have been treated like kings in the Rainbow Lodge. Excellent food, warm and charming hospitality and a stunning environment. We feel sad to have to leave already. The trips we made were beautiful. The jungle, waterfall and rapids are truly stunning.

January 2008
What a wonderful finish for our travelling in Cambodia. We have loved this place the most. It is a magical place with the waterfall, jungle and all the sounds you hear from the animals ... And the best thing of all is the Lodge ...
