This is where you want to stay in Siem Reap. Seven Candles is just a quick walk from the center of town and a block from the river. It was nice to be a bit away from hustle and bustle of tourist-central. The guesthouse is family-run and connected to an NGO that helps get children into school. The people working... More

Stayed here for 3 nights ina twin room ( would have liked to stay longer), which had a small balcony ( I think all rooms do), so that's great. The communal areas are comfortable and have useful resources - books, information, computers and games. Rooms and bathroom both fine, clean. A real bonus was having a kettle and some tea/coffee...

I stayed at Seven Candles Guesthouse for approximately 2 and a half weeks and it was so perfect in every way. Affordable accommodation in a warm and inviting environment. The rooms are air-conditioned and very clean, with a mini-fridge for cold drinks. Bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. The family and staff that run the guesthouse are friendly and very... More

My husband and I stayed at Seven Candles for a week and we could not have asked for a better experience, other than maybe getting to stay longer! I read the reviews on TripAdvisor in advance, and was sold. I was specifically looking for socially responsible tour operators and companies in Cambodia and came across Seven Candles. Not only did...

I carefully read the reviews of numerous places to stay within Siem Reap as I really wanted my money to go to a good cause. Seven Candles seemed like the best value so I booked a 2 night stay, and then booked 2 more after arrival! I was in a double room with air conditioning (refreshing after a hot and... More

There were three of us, so we booked quad room. Booking was done very promptly via email. Basic room, but very clean and spacious. TV was a little small though, but who watches tv here, a place with so much to offer! Housekeeping was done in the late afternoon, but it is fine for us. Tuk tuk to Pub Street... More

The price of this guesthouse is slightly more than we expected (Lonely Planet quotes at $7-15 and on arrival we were told it was $20, not a huge difference but when you're travelling every penny really does count). However, knowing the money was going to a good cause we agreed to stay for one night anyway. The room was nice,... More

Hi We're not sure where Lonely Planet would have gotten the prices they quote in their book. We have been charging $20 per night since we opened, except for travelers staying long term. Anyone who books ahead is always quoted the correct price. Thanks for staying with us, I hope you enjoyed your time in Siem Reap. Lori Carlson More

Just have to repeat all the good things people have said. This is one of the best guesthouses I've ever stayed in for all-around experience. The owners and staff are amazing and so nice, and the money goes to a good cause. FYI, this is one of only a handful of hotels/guesthouses in Siem Reap actually owned by Cambodians.

Seven Candles is a very special place and will forever remain dear to me. The price cannot be beat and it is for a great cause. Breakfasts are excellent. Showers hot. Rooms basic but spotlessly clean. The cantina is delightful. I ate there at least once a day. If you decide to book a tour through the guesthouse, (which I... More
