Booking Tips
Insider advice to help you find the best accommodation.
Pub Street hostels sell out 6-8 weeks ahead for December-February. Riverside hotels accept walk-ins year-round with discounts at reception.
Most mid-range hotels offer free airport pickup if booked direct. Taxis charge $8-12 from airport - email hotel for pickup code.
Hotels bundle Angkor passes with tuk-tuk and guide. $12-15 cheaper than arranging separately, includes cold water and towels.
When to Book
Timing matters for both price and availability.
Reserve 6-8 weeks ahead for December-February, Christmas-New Year period
March-May and September-October ideal - warm weather, fewer crowds, 25-35% cheaper
June through August delivers daily afternoon cloudbursts. Yet every hotel and tour operator slices prices in half. Walk-in rooms are yours for the asking, except during the August holidays when even the smallest guesthouses fill fast.
Two weeks covers most situations; December Pub Street needs eight weeks
