Our stay at Baby Elephant was wonderful! It is an ethnically run hotel. Everyone is so kind and helpful.

Sugar Spa was also a wonderful spa experience right inside the hotel. Highly recommend!

The staff were all very good, helpful and great at making cocktails.
Nothing was a bother for them.
Our room was on the... read more top floor and there was a whole deck area to sit out on, should have put Mosquito repellent on tho. Good view of the Crocodile farm next door.
This was not far from town but we took Mr Mab Tuk Tuk mostly and he would wait or come and pick you up when ready which was fantastic.
The food was lovely and we enjoyed every meal.
i would come back here.
May 6, 2020naggar05Baby Elephant is the perfect place for a staycation or a long term stay. If you are currently stuck here in Siem Reap or live here but have gotten bored... read more out of your freaking mind as we have, then Baby Elephant is the answer.
Baby Elephant has a great food menu with various selections; my favorite is the cheeseburger with fries. They also have a great selection of wine, beer, and cocktails. Happy hour is from 5-7 PM; two cocktails for the price of one.
Also, if you are an animal lover like we are, be ready to meet the cutest sassiest dog in the universe, Lenny. Watch out, because Lenny loves fries and he is officially a “Fries Digger,” Lenny also has a bunch of brothers and sisters that you will get to meet during your stay.
Baby Elephant is running a few promotions atm, offering discounts on food and accommodation for extended stays, so make sure to check their Facebook page for the latest updates.

If you’re visiting Siem Reap this is the place to be!
A delightful villa with a relaxed peaceful atmosphere, leafy cool gardens and sparking pool. The staff at... read more the hotel and the Sugar Spa onsite are so friendly and helpful, the rooms are fantastic with lovely natural Kambio toiletries, and furnished with everything you need - and super comfy (The pillows are magical clouds!). Yummy brekki included.
I really enjoyed Camilla’s amazing yoga classes on the rooftop, petting the resident doggos, relaxing at Sugar Spa (best massage I’ve had in Cambodia!). Take a bicycle ride and explore-it’s just a few minutes to everything. The wonderful owners are doing everything they can to keep their staff employed during this difficult time. This ethical and sustainably run business is well worth you’re support. You will BE Happy here! More

This is a must stay place! My actually visit went from a few days to 6 months during the height of the pandemic in 2020. It was unexpected, but so worth it, as the BE tribe did everything to make my stay feel like home. In the end, they became family! Just some of the many reasons to make this your next stay in Siem Reap! 1. They offer a fantastic menu of meat to vegan food options. I never got bored! The complimentary brekkie is so worth waking up for! I recommend the drip coffee, but they have an espresso machine now too! 2. Their cocktails are delicious, and I haven’t had as good of a Bloody Mary since! Sunday Happy Hour is the bomb! 3. My room was always freshly clean and tidy.

Lucky number 7.
The most important reason to stay at this beautiful place. the meaning behind everything that BE does. They strive to train, educate, and provide long lasting employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for their employees and local khmer people. From the bread they buy to the drivers they hire and the sustainable products they use. Their ethics, values, and mission can be seen throughout the hotel, and local community.
If you have taken the time to read my whole review, do yourself a favor and book your next stay at Baby Elephant or Be Happy. You will not regret it! More

I had been to Siem Reap before and had seen the property already but staying here was such a pleasure. We secured several rooms across a few different categories and the rooftop area to practice yoga which was kept private for us. The breakfast offerings were the best of any place I've EVER taken a retreat group (in Europe, Latin America or Africa). So many options and all delicious and served with tropical fruit, juice and coffee. And to dine by the pool is utterly fabulous. The rooms are well out fitted, the staff is kind and warm, the drivers and activities arranged by them were superb. There's nothing quite like visiting the nearby temples and then jumping in their pool to cool off and having a cold cocktail brought to you in the pool. Absolute heaven. I've been sitting on my hands just waiting until we can get another group back to Cambodia. It's clear to anyone who hears me talk about this trip that this place, the very caring and hands on owner Ilana and all her staff are everything that's right with hospitality. I can't wait to support them again and bring another... It's hard to explain what this plan symbolizes and comes to mean to every guest that crosses the threshold into their tropical oasis.
