Rainbow Lodge

We fell in love with this place within the first few hours of arriving. The hosts are so welcoming to their special family run lodges. The family room was spotlessly clean. They think of everything to ensure you are safe and secure in the middle of their pulsing jungle. The trips were the absolute highlight of our stay in Cambodia. The food was delicious and we even got a picnic when we left on our onward journey. We cannot recommend this place more. We enjoyed being off grid, exploring nature, clam fishing with our toes and relaxing in the hammock with a good book. There was more than this but we won’t reveal all of its delights! Our teenagers didn’t want to leave and nor did we!

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely unforgettable! The service was exceptional, with every detail carefully taken care of. The food was simply delicious—every meal was a delight! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The hotel’s location is breathtaking, surrounded by lush jungle and a stunning river. One of the highlights of our trip was the canoe tour through the mangrove forest, which was both serene and adventurous. The natural beauty of the area is unmatched, and the hotel team’s deep knowledge about Cambodia’s nature and culture added so much to the experience. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and connection to nature, this hotel is the place to be. We can’t recommend it highly enough and hope to return soon! It was our favorite place in Cambodia. Please support these people to save and rescue this wonderful place Tatai River with your visit. They do everything to protect this wonderful place on earth. This is big difference to all the other places at the Tatai River.

Rainbow Lodge was a magical place to spend a few days: I've rarely felt so much that we were staying with friends. Piron and Gee, who run the Lodge, are wonderful. Piron took us on two glorious day trips: kayaking through mangroves, where we collected mangrove fruit to plant later. Then we hiked up through the jungle to reach waterfalls where we swam, jumped and played for a long while before the boat came to take us home. Gee, the expat Englishman who fell in love with Cambodia, is an extraordinary naturalist, and I hope that by the time I go back, he'll have his planned photos up of the two insect species he's identifed and which are named after him. He's also published the first catalogue of Cambodian butterflies. Whether from the central bar platform, or from the viewing tower high in the jungle canopy, he'll help you identify the calls of birds, geckos and other creatures around. The food was wonderful. The wildlife is amazing. We adored swimming in the river, playing card games in the open-sided bar area, listening to the geckos at night. The whole experience was a highlight of a brilliant Cambodian adventure.

Rainbow lodge is in the most beautiful peaceful jungle setting. Our bungalow was spacious, clean with a lovely terrace looking into the jungle. The food is included in the price and is exceptional- there is lots of choice for breakfast & lunch and an excellent 3 course meal in the evening. Other drinks and snacks are reasonably priced and washing can be arranged. The lodge is only accessible by boat and the river is great for swimming & kayaking (which the lodge provides free of charge). There are a number of activities you can book - we did the trek to Tatai waterfall which was great (very knowledgable, friendly guide and culminated in the most beautiful natural swimming spot and delicious lunch). The setting, food and activities were all fantastic but what really sets this lodge apart is the passion the management & staff have for sustainability and preserving the natural environment. It is notable that they have not cleared the land around the lodge (as others have done) and have a programme of planting trees and managing tourism as sustainably as possible. The staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful. I had lots of questions before arriving which were always answered promptly. The lodge arranged transport for us and made us and the other guests feel really welcome.

This is a unique and incredible oasis in Cambodia's national park. Whether you have stayed at beaches in Thailand or Cambodia or come from the big city, temples or something else, Rainbow lodge is a perfect break from busier places. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect for relaxing and stress relief. At Rainbow Lodge you live in the middle of the forest with no roads leading to it and only access via the river. The cabins have own terraces and are well furnished. Everything is clean and of a good standard. The cabins and the central pavilion are connected by board walks, and it is wonderful to be able to throw yourself in a hammock or armchair and enjoy the sound of all kinds of birds regardless of whether you are interested or not in nature as such. The staff is very welcoming, and since the place is not big, it gives a cozy and familiar atmosphere. Rainbow Lodge offers a number of activities for both children and adults where everyone can join in regardless of experience and temperament. We went on a 3-hour hiking with a guide through the jungle to a beautiful waterfall approx. 5 km. away. Do yourself a great favor and book a stay here!

What a great place and not to forget a great team (with new management last years). So much passion for nature and wild life. Keep up the good work !! Nice hiking trails, kayaking on rhe river and a very good massage service. Bungalows are simple but fully eco and fitting perfect in the environment. Very relaxing surrounding. Highly recommended.
