Hotel Prices in Siem Reap by Month: When to Book

Think of the year in four bands. Each band has its own pattern for rates and for how quickly rooms disappear. The table puts them side by side.

High season runs from November to February. Skies are dry, mornings are cool and the temples look their best, so demand for rooms climbs. Hostels, guesthouses and mid-range hotels all feel it, and the most popular rooms in each hotel sell first.

The full detail sits on its own page: Siem Reap hotel prices in high season covers the rise by price band and the busiest weeks. Month pages go deeper still, with November, Christmas and New Year and January and February.

The rainy season, roughly May to October, is the best time for savings. Showers usually come in the afternoon, the countryside turns green and the temples are quieter. Many hotels lower their rates to fill rooms.

A stay in these months rewards flexible planners. Rainy season hotel prices in Siem Reap explains the savings and what the weather means for temple days, and last-minute hotel deals shows when waiting pays off.

Three Cambodian holidays attract domestic travellers and lift demand for a few days. In 2026 Khmer New Year falls on 14 to 16 April, Pchum Ben on 10 to 12 October and the Water Festival on 23 to 25 November. The dates move each year, so confirm them before you plan.

Our page on hotels during Khmer New Year and Pchum Ben gives the booking rule for each holiday. When a holiday lands inside the rainy season, book the nights around it a little earlier than usual.

The best price check takes five minutes. Open the same hotel on both platforms, set your dates, then shift the check-in by a few days either side. A hotel that looks full or expensive on a Saturday can look relaxed on a Tuesday.

The platform differences are explained in how to book a hotel in Siem Reap. If the live rate for your dates sits above your budget, start with cheap hotels in Siem Reap or hostels, then step up to the best mid-range hotels when the budget allows.

Match the booking date to the season. In the dry months, the choice of rooms matters more than a last-minute bargain, so early booking wins. In the rainy months, supply is plentiful, so a short wait gives you room to compare.
