点评:I recently had the honour and privilege of spending four fabulous nights at this welcoming rural homestay. I choose to stay longer than originally planned as once I had settled into the peaceful way of life it became difficult to move on. One of the best things about the Meas Family Homestay are the kind-hearted, hospitable, welcoming family who live here, which includes two friendly dogs. The main person looking after bookings and guests is the highly affable Linda. She speaks great English and is very efficient and quick to respond to emails about booking. Linda and her family work tirelessly and are up before dawn each day looking after their farm. It was melon growing season during my stay and each morning I would help to collect and pack the fruit ready for sale.
The very reasonable room rate includes three delicious meals. All varied freshly prepared Khmer dishes. A number of the ingredients come directly from the family farm and vegetarian options are available with notice. My portion sizes were so generous that I had to ask Linda for smaller lunches as I was eating too much! Meals are eaten outside in a comfortable fan-cooled area. Your evening meal may be taken with the family but social distancing was sensibly observed between family and guests. Free chilled water is readily available to take to your room and there is usually a pot of herbal tea or coffee to help yourself to. Free bicycles are available for guests to use and Linda can supply a map of the local area for self-guided exploration of the peaceful surrounding countryside. Next door to the homestay is a weaving centre producing beautiful and very reasonably priced export quality products, and a local school. Guests have the opportunity to visit both with Linda should they wish.
The homestay contains several small to medium sized wooden and concrete bungalows for guests. I believe that several of these are ensuite. Check when booking if this is a preference and Linda will do her best to accommodate requests subject to availability. My cosy wooden bungalow was spotlessly clean, quiet and comfortable. Rooms are fan-cooled and showers cold water. Mosquitoes aren’t a major problem but I’d recommend bringing insect repellent for the evenings.
The homestay is easy to reach. Travelling from Phnom Penh it was recommended that I use the Ekareach bus company. They ply the route between Phnom Penh and Kampot. When boarding the bus simply tell the depot office staff and driver that you would like to be dropped off in Angtasom (approximately halfway between Phnom Penh and Kampot). They understood my request perfectly. Once you alight in Angtasom approach a tuk-tuk driver and phone Linda. When she answers just hand your phone to the tuk-tuk driver and Linda will organise the rest. Simple as that! Within minutes and for just a couple of dollars you’ll be arriving at this idyllic rural abode. When I checked out Linda kindly booked me the front seat of a very comfortable air-conditioned shared taxi (4X4) back to Phnom Penh for $10 (the single front seat costs more).
For a totally unique and memorable experience, I cannot recommend the Meas Family Homestay highly enough. Linda is meticulous and conscientious in her service, and she and her wonderful family go out of their way to make you feel welcome. It was a great experience and I will never forget the kindness and hospitality of the Meas family. So, thank you Linda and family for being such wonderful hosts. My stay was absolutely perfect and my only regret is that I could not stay longer!

非常合理的房价包括三顿可口的饭菜。所有各种新鲜烹制的高棉菜肴。许多食材直接来自家庭农场,并可提供素食选择,但需另行通知。我的份量太大了,因为我吃得太多了,所以我不得不向琳达要少量的午餐!在舒适的风扇冷却区外用餐。您可以与家人一起享用晚餐,但家人和客人之间要保持社交距离。免费的冰水可以随时带到您的房间,通常还有一壶花草茶或咖啡供您享用。酒店提供免费自行车供客人使用,Linda 可以提供当地地图,供客人自行探索周围宁静的乡村。寄宿家庭隔壁是一个编织中心,生产精美且价格非常合理的出口优质产品,还有一所当地学校。如果客人愿意,他们有机会与琳达一起参观。
寄宿家庭包含几间供客人使用的中小型木制和混凝土平房。我相信其中有几个是套间。预订时请检查这是否是偏好,Linda 将尽力满足要求,视供应情况而定。我舒适的木制平房一尘不染,安静舒适。客房配有风扇和冷水淋浴。蚊子不是主要问题,但我建议在晚上携带驱虫剂。
寄宿家庭很容易到达。从金边出发,建议我使用 Ekareach 巴士公司。他们往返于金边和贡布之间的路线。上车时,只需告诉车站办公室工作人员和司机您希望在 Angtasom 下车(大约在金边和贡布之间的中间位置)。他们完全理解我的要求。在 Antasom 下车后,找一位嘟嘟车司机打电话给琳达。当她接听电话时,只需将您的手机交给嘟嘟车司机,琳达会安排其余的事情。就那么简单!几分钟之内,只需几美元,您就会到达这个田园诗般的乡村住宅。当我退房时,Linda 好心地为我预订了一辆非常舒适的空调共享出租车(4X4)的前排座位,返回金边,价格为 10 美元(单前排座位更贵)。
要获得完全独特和难忘的体验,我怎么推荐 Meas Family Homestay 都不为过。琳达的服务一丝不苟,尽职尽责,她和她美好的家人竭尽全力让您感到宾至如归。这是一次很棒的经历,我永远不会忘记米斯一家的友善和热情。所以,感谢 Linda 和家人成为如此出色的房东。我的住宿绝对完美,我唯一的遗憾是我不能待更长时间!
