We stayed for 6 nights at Secret of the Elephants in Feb. 2009 & found that for the price that we were paying we could have found a way better place in Siem Reap. On the plus side, the staff was great, the food was excellent. On the down side, the overdecorating tries to hide the ageing & lack of... More

Despite email confirmation of airport pickup and a room booking, we arrived at Siem Reap airport late afternoon 31st December 2005 to find no driver waiting. After making our own way to Secrets of Elephants Inn, they denied that they had a booking for us - not so good as we were a family travelling with two children aged 4... More

My family went to cambodia 4 years ago this Christmas and the fondest memory we have of the country is this bed and breakfast. No, we did not have ensuite baths but the bath we used upstairs was very charming - very colorful and the sink was made from a flower pot. The husband was a designer from France. We... More
