Koh Rong to Phnom Penh Destination Reviews

Nobody warned me that the pick-up arbour was not the one mentioned in the booking(because under maintenance) but actually the other one,more than a km away; once arrived at the destination harbour,no one was waiting for me but i had to wonder around and ask for the free(prepaid) transportation from the harbour to the main bus/van.

The ticket stayed to arrive at a certain pier 30 minutes before, which we did. The ticket did not specify whatsoever what ferry company we were to use, and there was no one on the pier that could help up. We contacted the number on the bus provider website, who put us through to the right people AFTER our scheduled departure time, who rang at us and were extremely rude, stating we were at the wrong pier (we had sent them our location, we were on the pier that matched the map co ordinates on the ticket). Boat eventually turned up, we then had to wait 45 mins for our bus, and arrived over 3 hours after the given time. Would not use again

Overall very positive. The boat was 30 minutes late, but the onward connection was waiting for us (once we found them). Location of bus connection departure would have been usefulu.

Arrived 2 hours late and charged more money after paying and since i'm paying for 3 people its extremely frustrating. We didn't get the faster van I booked we got on a slow bus with no water. Both experiences were poor and will not be booking again.

Nice driver. But we have to ask many people before knowing where to wait for the van when arrived at the pier...
