Glamping Sites in Siem Reap

We recently stayed at Templation Hotel in Siem Reap and had mixed feelings about our experience. On arrival at around 9pm after a long day of international travel, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were friendly and professional. We were informed that room service was available until 10:30pm, which was a relief. However, after placing our order at 9:30pm, we waited over an hour with no update. When we called to follow up, we were told the kitchen never received the order—extremely frustrating given the late hour and how tired we were. The hotel grounds are beautiful and breakfast was very good. Unfortunately, there were a lot of mosquitoes, which made it difficult to relax and enjoy the outdoor areas. There was also a power outage during our stay—something we didn’t experience at another hotel nearby, suggesting it wasn’t a widespread issue. Considering the premium price and 5-star rating, we expected a higher level of service and consistency. While there were some highlights, the inconveniences—especially around basic services like food and electricity—left us disappointed overall.

This place is truly magical!!! The service is completely unmatched as the staff really do go out of their way to make sure you have the most enjoyable experience. We visited in dry season so unfortunately the river is lower than usual, however, it was still great to see the resident water buffalo and elephant cool off and play in the water. I cannot thank the staff enough for their efforts during our stay, from the amazing greeting on arrival to the turn down service, the special table setup for dinner with INCREDIBLE food from a local chef, we were continually humbled by how thoughtful and kind everyone was. If you are planning on doing some temple tours, this is a great place to come home to and recharge in the movie star style tent villas that make you feel like you're on a remote tomb raider expedition. I highly recommend experiencing this place!!
