Not 5-star service. Maybe 3 stars.

Architecturally, a pretty hotel with plenty of room. Two complaints: What gives a 5-star hotel five stars, is the service. The young staff, although polite and respectful, were not well trained, (if they were received any training at all). The hotel has only 18 rooms and one restaurant, which was good, but limited in menu. Secondly, the hotel is 30 minutes from the city, and the hotel works with a transportation company that is 30+ minutes away. So, plan in advance. This would be a nice hotel for a wedding party, but not for a tourist or business visit to Phnom Penh.

Best resort I've stayed in, highly recommend it!

Our stay at the Bale Phnom Penh was nothing short of amazing, not only were all the amenities 5 stars, but the staff were professional, and the resort manager Mika was always attentive to our needs. I highly recommend the resort to anyone, we will be going back again, thank you to all the staff at the Bale, we really enjoyed our stay.

Under the Radar Gem

From the moment we areived, we were treated like we were the only guests stsying at the property. The room was incredibly stylish and relaxing, but their greatest asset was their team - every last employee was beyond standard friendly, and their genuineness shined through - we’d stay there again hands down in a hearbeat, despite it being a bit off the beaten track relative to the center of town.

Nice but still needs improvement

Service was good but my request for an upstairs room was denied even though entire block was empty. I could’ve pushed harder but it’s a 5 star establishment so I don’t see why I need to. Cleanliness could be improved as there was an open tea bag. Bath amenities should be supplied for a 5 star establishment. Plunge pool had mosquitoes so didn’t use it. in summary, don’t think the river suite was worth the additional $

Incredible heavenly place

A few days of bliss. Such a special place. We stayed for 3 nights and we're more than empressed with our time here. It ticked all the boxes. The staff are so nice, the pool was crystal clean, the room was gorgeous with a private garden, the food was super and overall the whole resort is so peaceful. So worth every penny. We are so grateful to have found the Bale Resort.
Thank you for everything.

Nice and quiet hotel

This is a perfect option if you want to relax in a quiet and tranquil environment. The only problem is the hotel is around 25 mins drive from the city which is less convenient. But the hotel staff is very friendly and helpful in arranging transportation and trying to understand every need of the hotel guests.

Nice new hotel, staff and manager very friendly and accommodating, great quite location along Mekong River.

If you want to get away and relax this is great location. There are no placed to walk to eat, only hotel restaurant which has great food selection and try’s to maintain organic fair.

If you want to visit all the sites in Phnom Pehn it can be up to one hour, horrible traffic especially since one bridge is out of commission.

We had a river front suite, second floor, which had a cold private soaking pool which was a bit dirty, leaves and bugs floating in it, etc and somehow a big frog got in our room and had to chase it out, no idea how it got there since it would have to hop up all the stairs? The lock on our sliding door into suite was broken.

Overall 4 out 5 stars, great staff and very very friendly.
