Wifi is okay, 7-10 mbps with vpn. Breakfast is excellent. Rooms are nice and big. No A/C, but provide 2 fans, which are powerful. So not an issue. I just used 1 fan. Close to the market and beach. 3km away is a gym. By tuktuk $2.5.
Comes with a seating area outside, breakfast is sent to your seating area. You will come across bugs, regardless if windows are open or closed. Bed has a netting surrounding it, so no bugs at night. You will see small ants in the washroom.

I loved my stay at Bird of Paradise. It was just so peaceful and relaxing. Steve is a wonderful host with so much information if you need it. The porch among the leaves is a perfect place to have a cold beer. There is a store five minutes away with everything you need. A ten minute walk will get you to the crab market, where you can either buy from a vendor, squid, fish, crab, chicken, with the pepper they rave about, and it is worth raving about. Or you can choose from a heap of restaurants on the water. If it's breakfast you're after try the Arts Cafe, where you can enjoy your coffee while staring at the sea. Kep Beach is about a fifteen minute walk, where you can find some white sand. The national park is a five minute tuk tuk ride from Steve's an up the hill. If it's peace and quiet and few cold beers you're after, having done the rest of the country, then Bird of Paradise is perfect.

From a very experienced senior (81 yrs) traveller

Steven and his lovely wife are excellent hosts. They answered all our questions with good advise.
The location is very good if you want to walk to the crab market and the row of restaurants on the sea.
His recommendations where accurate without bias.
He also facilitated our return tickets to Phu Quoc, much easier than our trip to Kep. The bus company drove us to immigration, we did not have to carry any luggage across the border. Only on the Vietnamese side, we had to walk a very short distance to the bus stop, which then dropped us off at the pier. Thank you to Bird of Paradise for a lovely stay.

A little piece of paradise.

The Bird of Paradise is conveniently located just off the main road, just a short walk from the Crab Market, the National Park and the beach. The bungalows are in a lovely garden location, they are clean, comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was a very nice start to the day. Steve and his staff were very friendly and helpful, arranging scooter hire, boat trips and onward travel.
I stayed an additional 3 nights and would definitely stay again and I’m happy to recommend this property.

A really nice place

A cozy room, very close to the crab market. Great concierge service that can get you a lot of things taken care of, including tickets for your further journey. Home-made food good both for breakfast and (especially) lunch/dinner. And very friendly owners - do sit down with them, order a beer/cocktail (or two, maybe three) and enjoy a chat about Kep, Cambodia, economical situation in the country, etc :)

Watch out for the rooms without the air-conditioning if you really can't handle the heat.

3/5 or max 3.5/5 by Asian rating stardards.

There are many like myself having special diet. IF I had know of NO FOOD of any kind is allowed into the premises, I would NOT hv book this Bird of Paradise.
Their reason is it wl attract ants. In almost any hotel in Cambodia, IndoChina, there ants common everywhere. I grew up in homes build on stilt,raised platform & homes build on ground level. There are many ways to prevent ants, insects, crawlers including snakes from getting into the premises. If they are not aware, probably they get some ideas from the locals. NO fridge, kettle but thanks goodness they oblidge the hot water.
European,American guest may rate this Bird of Paradise as 4/5. But by Asian stardard, Asian culture& traditions, the hospitability, friendliness are norms and usual & expected. Any unaccomodating is considered as hostile, unfavourable.

Spacious clean and comfy, close to Crab Market

The bungalows are only a 5 minute walk from the crab market, so we had the time of our lives eating seafood. The bungalow we had was very spacious and cool enough with the fan blowing all night. The bathroom was big and clean. My partner loved the hammock on our deck and spent a fair bit of time on it reading. Very relaxing atmosphere and situated down a quiet alley. The bungalows have a lot of greenery with big plants everywhere which felt nice and looked great. It's also a very short walk to the Sailing Club which is great for checking out the sunset. The beach is a fair bit further away but only a 10 minute tuk tuk ride.

Beautiful garden hotel

Very short distance from where Phnom Penh bus dropped us off. 5 minute walk from Kep Crab Market. Beautiful garden environment; both flowers and fruit. Stayed in natural style bungalow. Employees provided very good breakfast, and were very helpful in supplying maps and local tourist information; even supplying bus information and calling local tuk-tuk for trip to Kampot.

The only downside was that I picked a fan-cooled hut; and even though the temperature was lower than Phnom Penh, it was still too hot at night to be comfortable in May. The bed came with great mosquito netting, but using the net eliminated the advantage of a fan.

Great place for a night or two.

Skip Kep and Coco all together.

The service of this hotel/bungalow is not suited for families at all. Grumpy, unwelcoming, difficult to ask for help. We had so many animals residing in our bungalow that I was afraid we would be infected with some awful illness. Toads, gekkoes, birds, bugs, ants, mice, mosquitoes... you name it. Also, on internet is stated they have free breakfast buffet. No such thing. Neither buffet or free breakfast. You can buy pancake for USD 2,50 though. Most of the time out of whatever you ask for. Juice, bread etc. The internet does not work in bungalows, only in the common area. The small pool on the picture is not good for a bath. Water has not been changed for ages. Also, Kep has nothing to offer for families. The beach is extreme, dirty and filthy. Jelly fish stining you all the time. Absolutelty nothing else to do. It is only a place to stay for a night on your way elsewhere. Anywhere else.

Value for money

A recent change in management has resulted in a few booking teething problems but Rith and his team could not have been more accommodating in rectifying matters. Great location as quiet yet near enough to everywhere. Clean and tidy with the staff's friendliness making our 7 night stay fantastic. Excellent value set in a rural background.

Nice bungalows with friendly staff

Our 3 nights there were perfect. The staff is very friendly and attentive to needs of his hosts.
The bungalows are nicely built in wood with the bathroom in concrete. The bungalows don't touch each other, which avoid hearing your neighbors, and the environment is very green with some fruits trees.
Staff asks you not to store or eat food inside the bungalow but at the eating area near the reception (they have storage/fridge for your food). It can be seen as a problem but thanks to this measure, no insect were observed in the bungalows.
We booked there a motorbike, a day at rabbit island and the transfer to Phnom Penh. Staff was very helpful and gave us lots of advises.
The bungalows are located near crab market (max 10min by foot) where you have a large selection of restaurants and some shops.

En undangömd liten pärlaå

Blev välkommen av engelsktalande personal. Ägaren, en kille från Australien som bara ägt stället i några månader, hade restaurerat allt. Min bungalow som var den billigaste var stor och rymlig med bra badrum. Ett stort plus var sänglampor, vilket man inte ser så ofta. Uteplatsen till varje bungalow hade stol, bord, soffa och en hängmatta. TV med bra kanaler.
Mycket gästvänliga och hjälpsamma.

voyage en famille en Asie 5 semaines donc 2 à coco

Nous avons voyagé avec notre fils et notre belle fille ainsi que nos 2 petits enfants du 07 au 09 juillet 2015 avec les petits dejeuners compris.

Positifs :
+ pas loin du marché des crabes
+ assez proche de la plage
+ petit déjeuner pour 3 $

Négatifs :
-en arrivant, le gérant français ou peut-etre le propriétaire, un jeune, il avait partiellement handicapé de son oeil gauche, il avait dit qu'il n'avait pas reçu le paiement de hôtels.com
-le gérant nous a réclamé le prix des petits déjeuners pour les enfants, nous lui avons payé pour éviter d'avoir des conflits.
-et la veille de notre départ, il est revenu pour réclamer le paiement pour les petits déjeuners des adultes mais nous avons refusé de payer.Et nous sommes partis le lendemain sans prendre le petit déjeuner du dernier jour pour éviter d'avoir d'autres surprises.

Heureusement pour nous de rester juste que 2 nuits, nous avons déjà voyagé partout comme à Singapour, Bangkok, los angeles, Osaka, tokyo, Hiroshima, Siem reap et phnom penh ...etc.
mais nous n'avons jamais rencontré ce problème d'ANARQUE comme au bungalow, \"Le coco de mer à Kep au cambodge.
Nous vous conseillons de ne pas réserver via internet pour éviter des anarques comme nous

Attention : il parlait très bien le français comme un commerçant tapis d'arabe, il avait dit plein de bobards.
