A pool matters in Siem Reap. Temple visits tend to fill the early morning, and a good pool gives the afternoon its shape: a few lengths, a long lounger session or a quiet hour with a book. In a boutique hotel the pool is also part of the design, so the setting, the privacy and the shade change from one property to the next.
The picks below come from what each hotel publishes about its pools. Think of four profiles: swimmer, couple, family and sunbather. If you are still choosing a style, our overview Best Boutique Luxury Hotels in Siem Reap to Book compares the full shortlist, and Siem Reap Luxury Hotels With a Rooftop Pool covers rooftop pools.
What to compare in a boutique pool
Four points separate one pool from another. Size tells you whether lengths are possible. Setting tells you whether you swim among gardens, courtyards or palms. Privacy tells you whether the water is shared or yours alone. Shade and seating tell you how comfortable a long afternoon will be.
Comparison points
- Size: look for a published length, such as 20 m at Viroth's Hotel, 23 m for the Bayon Pool at Shinta Mani Angkor or 50 metres at Zannier Phum Baitang.
- Setting: tropical gardens at Zannier, palms at Shinta Mani's Angkor Pool, and a garden setting at Angkor Village Hotel.
- Privacy: private plunge pools at Jaya House River Park, Zannier and Amansara.
- Shade and seating: sun loungers and a thatched-roof sala with day beds in the Pool Villa gardens at Zannier.

Planning your pool time
Pool hours, towel service and access rules for non-guests differ from hotel to hotel. Ask the hotel which hours suit your plans, especially if you arrive after a night flight or return from a sunrise temple visit. If you travel with children, mention it in your booking note so the team can suggest a room near the pool.
Remember that a private plunge pool is ideal for cooling off, and a long pool is ideal for exercise. Decide which matters more, then book that room type. Room type names differ from one site to another, so match the name exactly on Agoda and Booking.com.
Book your pool stay
Shortlist two hotels, tap Check price and enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com. Compare the room type that includes the pool you want, and read the cancellation terms before you pay. Confirm pool access hours on the hotel's page.
