Sala Baï is more than just a charming and affordable guest house: it really is a great experience. An amazing staff, friendly, always smiling, with a true desire to learn and to do well. Keeping in mind that a night at Sala Baï is a real opportunity to support an amazing cause. Also, try the amazing lime juice !

All profits are used by the NGO to train young undepriviledged Cambodian. So sleeping there is a good deed. But NOT only! The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms are very clean and cosy. It is very good value for money. Buy the cooking book! a great souvenir to bring back from Cambodia!

My husband I dined at Sala Bai today for the first time. It is a lovely restaurant, gorgeous staff and great food and drinks. Definitely try their signature Lime Drink. Presents well and tastes great, very refreshing for a hot day in Siem Reap. We ordered the Asian Set Menu. Absolutely so much food we are bursting, delicious, well presented... More

Dear Madam, I am very sorry, but you never confirmed your booking and said you would "drop by to see if we had a comfortable double room" in your last email (in French, "nous passerons voir si vous avez une chambre double...confortable). Indeed, you can find hotels with swimming pool in the city for the same price. You seem to... More

Serves as a hotel school for underprivilaged youth and does a wonderful job, preparing 100 students a year for a career in the growing hospitality industry. Service is great and students are clearly enjoying their work and the contact with customers.
