Accommodation
Welcome to Phum Khmer Lodge, where we provide our guests with an unforgettable stay in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Our Lodges, inspired by traditional Khmer architecture, feature six private villas styled like traditional stilted wooden houses.
The proprietors of Phum Khmer Lodge were inspired by Cambodia’s rich timber architectural culture. They scoured Cambodia for years, collecting wood from abandoned structures, studying the various architectural traditions there. Then they came up with the concept of making a hotel that was more like a small town. The Lodge’s six structures required nearly six years and enough recycled wood from twenty-eight homes to complete. This method has made it possible to salvage timber without causing any damage to the surrounding forest.
These six villas offer different unique features, ensuring guests find a villa that suits their preferences. Our comfortable rooms are tastefully designed with the modern traveler in mind, and equipped with everything to make your stay enjoyable.
Our room amenities include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV with satellite, hot and cold water, daily housekeeping, and complimentary bottled water, among many other convenient amenities.
At Phum Khmer Lodge, we gave each room a name based on a Khmer word for destiny or design. All the amenities of home are there in each of these villas.
