This was our 4th time to stay here. We like the location, the food, the very friendly staff, and the relaxed feel. They do a good job organising... read more transport, whether car, moto, tuktuk or bicycle. On a previous visit they were very efficient in arrangina visit from the 'tourist doctor'.

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.

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.

It's a cliché, but if the phrase "a home away from home" was ever applicable, it is here at Baby Elephant. See you again soon!
July 28, 2020janel sOur stay at the Baby Elephant was wonderful. We were travelling as 2 couples and the staff really looked after us. Our rooms were close together and were delightfully clean,... read more cool and comfortable after the Siem Reap heat.
As a vegetarian and a vegan travelling with two carnivores, we expected that our dietary requirements might not be met but we were wrong, there was no problem finding delicious meals for us all. We also loved the poolside cocktails!
I was very impressed with the environmental policies of the hotel and the obvious effort of the owners to give back to their local community.
A great spot to stay, all the staff were wonderful even getting up at 4am to arrange breakfast and transport to Angkor Wat. Can't wait to go back.

March 12, 2020travelforever3I loved staying at the Baby Elephant Boutique Hotel. I was there as part of a group in February 2020. The staff and management could not have been more accomodating... read more and helpful. By the end of our stay we felt like family. The location was very central to the Market, shopping and restaurants. The food was wonderfully prepared. If you get a chance take one of their cooking classes. The pool was refreshing and my room very comfortable. I would totally recommend this hotel. It really made my trip and we all loved Lenny, he is a Superstar!

And even during Covid times BE still had guests , usually long stay ones. Also they have three dogs. Two largish dogs and one tiny Pomeranian who looks like a sugar puff ball called Lenny who steals the show. Guests are also allowed to bring small dogs to stay and that was my situation. So I had two small dogs. Who were always made to feel welcome and didn’t need to be kept on a lead in the garden area. So they were able to bask in the sun and play as though they were at home and this too brings that homey feel. If your a dog lover or a dog owner you will love this place.
Another thing worth mentioning is that siem reap town is a very noisy place with Pagodas on every corner and busy traffic , but Baby Elephant is tucked away down a very narrow side street so there is no traffic noise or any noise pollution in fact. I slept like a baby there. Also the showers are piping hot.
They also have a large yoga Shalla on the roof . If you take a class at 4pm to 6pm you will even see the sunset up there while doing your class.
Stay here if your a little bit boho, hippie, love yoga, love dogs, and love community and it will always be your favourite place to keep returning to in siem reap. And when you return they will welcome you with open arms and a big smile. More
