Sihanoukville to Kampot Destination Reviews

The driver took an hour to locate us in the port. No one would pick up phone calls. Not an English speaking driver AS STATED on our receipt . The car was not SUV but an old old saloon car , not suitable for the rough un tarmaced roads.

It was the strangest, crazily enjoyable travel experience I think we've ever had. I'm pretty sure the original train must have broken down somewhere so we were late departing but the staff in the station kept us informed. There were mostly foreign nationals making the trip to Kampot and what a trip it was. Firstly the train that turned up was a self powered single carriage machine that we doubted would fit everyone on but it did.. however the poor railway staff did have to sit on plastic chairs bless them. So eventually we set off but the Aircon units on parts of the carriage were leaking water quite badly in places so the staff placed bin bags on the luggage racks to contain the water.. however water was still leaking onto passengers below so bin bags were issued to the affected passengers in an attempt to protect them. We thought we were quite fortunate as our Aircon unit wasn't leaking directly onto us but onto the floor in front of our seats.. Our luck ran out a bit later when we encountered a thunder storm and water was leaking onto us through the partly opened doors and perished window seals.. luckily we had thin plastic raincoats with us so we wore those until we cleared the thunderstorm. The initial journey time given was 1 hour 40 minutes but the journey, with several long stops, took around 3 and a half hours including the train stopping to drop off passengers on a level crossing in one of the small towns we passed through. It was a hilarious, slightly damp experience but one I don't regret in the slightest. All the passengers took the situation with a smile and the staff tried their very best to make us as comfortable as possible. Overall It was a unique but strangely enjoyable experience which we will never forget.

Lors de notre trajet en taxi entre le port de Sihanoukville et notre hôtel à Kampot, la prise en charge s'est mal passée. Le chauffeur n'était pas au rendez vous. Il n'a pas cherché à nous contacter. Après 4 appels téléphoniques au prestataire local de 12GO: Sima car, nous avons pu faire venir le taxi au bureau local de Sima car. Bref stress et longue attente. Enfin la vétusté de la voiture pour faire 2h30 de trajet nous a pas rassurée.

The bus we booked was not anything like the one in the picture, we like to travel by big bus as the small vans are not comfortable and claustrophobic. This was a small bus that was packed and cramped.

Departure 45 min late and a very unnecessary stop at an expensive shop.

Comfortable 7-seat bus. The journey took place even though I was the only passenger. Arrived precisely on time. Have in mind that trip from Sihanoukville to Kampot is bumpy because of the road surface (no asphalt on significant distance)

As most of the other reviews said, We left 1 hour late, so good that we were prepared. But overall the trip was good. There is a long stretch of the road which is dirt road so the ride can get a little bumpy, so if you don't like that, you're better off using the train.

Broken seats, we couldn’t lean back for 2 and a half hours unless we wanted to crush the people sitting behind us. No air con and the road is BAD. Also the driving - not super safe. Hold tight!
