Phnom Penh to Koh Rong Samloem Destination Reviews

RB
All seemed fine at the start but then ended up arriving in Samloem 2hrs later than stated, waited over 1h for the ferry while other firms boats were leaving. At the pier there was no sign of the firm everyone seemed so disoriented and had to ask around, the ferry also went to 2 Koh Rong piers first then stopped at Samloem(the ferry journey in total was over 1.5h). You may want to look for separate bus and boat rather than pay 45$ for smooth transfer and arrival in Samloem which you wont get (also this price inc return ticket so you bear that in mind when coming back)

Well arranged. Quick ride, though quite a long wait for the boat. Arrival time on the island was communicated as 3pm, but that was the boat departure time.
