Kampot View Boutique is a hotel in Kampot with a swimming pool and lounge chairs, a multi-storey building with balconies and a staffed reception lobby, which makes it a good choice for travellers who want pool time between tours. The pool is a real asset in Kampot, where the dry-season afternoons are hot and sightseeing days can be dusty. A balcony room gives a place to sit in the evening, and a front desk helps with tuk-tuks, tours and onward transport. Guest comments on the property page describe friendly staff and good rooms, and recent ratings are high, though the number of reviews is small, so read them yourself before deciding. As always, the page is the best place to check room types, bed sizes, breakfast and cancellation terms, because these change by date.
Location and getting around
Kampot is a small town where the main attractions sit close together or a short ride away. The riverfront, the market and many restaurants are in the centre, while the countryside tours to pepper farms, salt fields and Bokor Mountain leave from town. Check the property page for the hotel’s precise location relative to the river, since a few blocks can make a difference to evening noise and walking time.
Rooms and facilities
Photos show a multi-storey building with balconies, a lobby with a reception desk and a pool area with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Rooms are described as having a bed, bedside table and chair, and some have balcony views. Confirm bathroom, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and breakfast details when you book. If you want a room above the street, ask for a higher floor.
Who it suits
Couples, families and independent travellers who like a pool and a modest, comfortable room. Because it is boutique-scale, it will not have the extensive facilities of a large resort, so it is best for people who plan to spend most of the day out and about. Families should check bedding options and child policies before they book.
Good to know
Pool hours, towel arrangements and breakfast times vary, so ask at check-in. In the dry season from roughly November to April, evenings are pleasant and the pool is busiest in the afternoon. In the wet season, expect rain and lower rates. Reception can usually help arrange bus tickets to Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville or Kep, as well as tours and airport transfers.
Planning your stay
A typical visit to Kampot works well over three nights. Spend a morning on Bokor, an afternoon at a pepper farm and an evening on the river, then add a day trip to Kep for crab and a seaside walk. A hotel with a pool gives you somewhere to recover between these outings, especially in the hot months of March to May, when midday temperatures can be punishing.
Ask the front desk about late check-out if your bus leaves in the evening, and about storing luggage while you take a last walk along the river before heading on.
