I thought I should bring reader's attentions to the experience which I had last week at this guesthouse.

Originally, I wanted to stay at Rozana guesthouse: run by a lovely family and having stayed there I never experienced any issues at all.

Because of the religious holiday, they were booked up and so I decided to return to the De Dean guesthouse, close to the river.

The price the the $5 room I paid a few years ago had risen to $7 but as I was wanting to stay for 12 nights I managed to negotiate that price down to $6 per night.

The internet was very good, but the room had taken a turn for the worse, with the window no fully closing properly.

To cut a long story short, I had to leave after 3 days and I asked if a refund of my remaining 9 nights stay were possible. I was willing to have the calculate the first 3 nights at $7.

After a lot of to and fro with the female owner and her husband they claimed the price per night was $10 because I had used the shower in the room.

In the end I lost out only on $5.

When I returned to my room I wanted to go outside on the balcony for a smoke and I left my card key locked in my room. When I went down to reception I picked up a key which I thought was the spare key to my room, but was in fact for another room. I tried it anyway, and it worked. I went downstairs again and took up 5 different keys for 5 different rooms and they all opened my door.

I advice anyone looking to rent accommodation at this guesthouse to be extremely cautious.

Is this just a plug for Fat Sams?

No it wasn't meant to be a plug for him. I deleted the reference. I think you could see that the core content was about my experience at De Deans guesthouse.

Riveting story

"King" Keil? You wouldn't be compensating for something would you?

If I recommend a place, I will be guilty of advertising a place. I only mentioned Fat Sams because I wanted to lighten my post. Rozana was always my go-to place. I must write that this forum is very aggressive. I was only wanting to warn people against checking into De DEan because of my personal experience. I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition

Where is it?
What is it?
Is it worth a visit?

You've told us where 'not' to go, now tell us 'where' to go (in KK). Apart from Fat Sam's, any other places worthy of a mention.

We don't get much up to date info about Koh Kong town, so fresh info is always welcome.

@ TOP. Nah. You can say what you want here. Advertising good experiences is ok as long as you don't spam every thread on the forum.
Please feel free to post about Koh Kong. As UT says, we don't get much info on that town. Don't be put off by one or two posters. I went through KK about a month ago but didn't stop. Did I miss something ?
