Le Tonle Training Guesthouse - Kracheh

Really like this place, great place to relax, and very friendly and helpful staff. 2 minutes to walk to see how the sun goes down the mekong. I liked chicken club sandwich with crinkle cut chips. (departure of rice, ei and veg) could not stay here the first night (booked,) stayed in the mekong dolphin hotel for twice the price, half the service and pretty bad eating to be honest. if they can get in, they won't go past le tonle, recommended to me by a tourist friend I'm glad. was 17 dollars for the night.

Get a room with air conditioning! We enjoyed the restaurant immensely and the staff were lovely, but the fan in this hot wood-panelled room just did not cut it and hardly provided the refuge we desperately needed during the hot Kratie days! Bonuses are free water, WiFi, and an eager staff.

It's great that this is helping with the training of local youth but they have some stuff to improve: We liked the food on our first night, but when we went second night, the same food came really oily. Also they were missing tofu this time but at least they were honest about it The guy who sold us the minivan ticket to Laos really undermined how bad that trip would be. Also we booked a van in which we were probably the only ones that got the ticket without the ferry ticket (but he was honest about that part)

We stayed here for one night and had our meals here, too. Our room was nice, we shared a bathroom which was no problem, it was always available and very clean. The stuff is really super friendly and nice. But we were very disappointed with our food, our worst meal in Cambodia was here, unfortunately. We're vegan, so there is not much to choose from the menu anyway. We ordered veggie stir fry with coconut milk and something similar with just veggies and both dishes were really bad tasting. Nothing but soggy veggies, you can even see from photos it weren't nice. Breakfast menu had zero vegan options, everything comes with milk or butter or something animal based. We asked if we can get just a piece of bread and fruit, but they brought fruit with lots of cereal and no liquids, so it was not easy to swallow. Breakfast is 4$ per person. They have much room for improvement.

Maybe we got unlucky given the other good reviews, but our food was partly mediocre (fish was dry, rice and salad were good) and partly just bad and uneatable (steak that was too hard to be chewed or cut in any way and seemed very old). The people are very nice and try their best but we couldn't recommend it based on our experience.
