Mango Kesararam
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, book it if you want a quiet, top-rated budget stay in Siem Reap with a pool and a host who can sort out temple transport. Skip it only if you need a full-service hotel, since breakfast and many facilities are not confirmed.

Budget travellers who still want comfort will find a lot here. It is our cheapest Siem Reap pick, yet it has the highest guest score of the 16 hotels we compared: 9.9 out of 10.
It suits first-time visitors to Angkor in particular. Guests say the host, Mr. Heng, arranges transport and tours and shares local tips, which saves a lot of planning.
Look elsewhere if you want on-site dining, a spa or a gym. None of these appear in the data, and breakfast details are not confirmed.
Location and getting around
The address is National Road No.6, Wat Kesararam Street, Group 17 Phum Taphul, Sangkat Svay Dangkum, Siem Reap City. Guests describe a quiet spot behind a monastery, a short walk from restaurants and the town centre. The location score is 9.8.
The temples are a different matter. Angkor Wat is about 5.4 km away, roughly 68 minutes on foot by straight-line estimate. Bayon is about 8.5 km and Baphuon about 8.7 km, both well over an hour and a half.
So the temples are far, and you will need a taxi or other transport. Given what guests say about the host, ask about arranging this when you book.
What guests say
Two themes run through the feedback. The first is the quiet setting, close enough to town to walk to dinner. The second is the host, who arranges transport and tours, gives local advice and serves fresh fruit drinks.
The data shows no recurring complaints from guests. That is unusual, but with 757 reviews the sample is smaller than at bigger hotels, so treat it as a strong signal rather than a guarantee.
Price and how it compares with our other Siem Reap picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €26.18 per night. The sample median was €74.79, so this was about 65% below it. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, The Urban, was €36.11 a night with four stars and a 9.6. Our Luxury pick, Angkor Village Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World, was €260.28 with five stars and a 9.7.
For the money, you get a three-star stay with a pool, family rooms, air conditioning, a garden and free Wi-Fi, plus the highest score in our sample. The Urban adds a star for about €10 more a night.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 16 eligible hotels in Siem Reap. After setting aside the upscale choice, this one had the lowest eligible reference price, which made it our Budget pick.
It also topped the sample on review score. A budget hotel that also leads on guest rating is rare, and that is the main reason it stands out.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. No breakfast type is listed, so ask whether any breakfast is offered.
The pool is listed, with an indoor pool also mentioned in the facilities. Check opening times. If you want the host to arrange temple trips, agree prices in advance.
