Siem Reap Guesthouses With a Pool Bar

Of the three guesthouses in our directory, two list a pool and bar facilities in the listings we checked. Garden Village Guesthouse and Pool Bar carries the bar in its name. Babel Siem Reap Guesthouse lists a large pool on Hostelworld, with a bar serving drinks and a menu in its tropical front garden.

Garden Village sits on Funky Lane, the same street as The Funky Village and THE PLACE, two hostels with a pool and a poolside bar. Three pool-focused stays on one lane make it an easy area to explore on foot. If you want the full social picture, our social hostels page and the hostels with a pool page cover those neighbours.

Garden Village shares the Steng Thmey area with The Funky Village, which Hostelworld places about five minutes on foot from Pub Street, but check Garden Village's own map pin for the walk. Our directory records 6.6 km in a straight line to Angkor Wat, so plan a tuk-tuk for the temples.

A pool bar delivers sound until closing time. The easiest fix is a quiet room position, and the second is a clear plan for your night. Ask the host the closing time of the bar, request a room on the garden side and bring earplugs. A guesthouse is small, so the host can often match you with a calm room if you ask before arrival.

A guesthouse pool works best on a simple rhythm. Start with an early temple visit while the air is cool, return for a late breakfast, and swim through the hot hours. In the high season from November to February the afternoons are dry and bright. In the rainy season, roughly May to October, showers usually pass and leave the garden fresh.

The garden bar then does its job. A fruit shake at four, a cold drink at six and a quiet dinner nearby make a full day for very little effort. Because a guesthouse is small, you can ask the host about an early breakfast, a tuk-tuk booking or the quietest time to have the pool to yourself. A friendly request the evening before usually gets the clearest answer, and the host appreciates the notice.

A short message turns assumptions into facts. Pool hours, bar hours and room position are the three that matter most, and the host's reply shows how the stay will feel.

Save the answers with your booking confirmation. If a host replies clearly and quickly, you can book with confidence.

Choose Garden Village if you want a pool, a bar and company in a small garden setting, and if you accept a livelier evening. Choose Babel if you want a high score, a garden and a calmer night, with the pool as a bonus. Both are small enough for the host to know your name, and both list a pool, so the choice comes down to mood: lively evening or calm garden. Whichever you pick, send the host your arrival time and your questions before you travel.

Our ranking in best guesthouses by review score shows both with the third guesthouse of the directory. If you are unsure between a guesthouse and a hostel, read guesthouse or hostel, and for a stay in a family home, read Siem Reap homestays.

Because the live rate changes with the season, this page shows no nightly prices. The two platforms give the exact total in seconds.
