Official Description (provided by the hotel):: You Khin House is a architect designed house, built on three floors. The guest rooms are on the first and second floor around a central staircase lit and ventilated by a "wind tower" with sky light. The architecture sets it apart from other buildings in Phnom Penh and is nestled in a green patio, guarded from view by the traditional wooden house at the front. Only when the front door is open and one has stepped in the hallway can the house be seen. All rooms and all parts of the hotel have natural light. The ground floor is a gallery displaying original paintings by the late artist and architect of the house - You Khin. His work are also displayed on all the floors.The swimming pool is used by children at the Seametrey Children's Village school next door between 9am and 2pm. A bright and airy communal lounge on the second floor has a pool table, a flat screen cable TV and a small library. The owner lives on the top floor. The volunteers at the school live in the wooden house at the front. Some staff members and children live in the school next door.You Khin House is a community.

“Make a difference to Cambodian children by staying at this charming B&B with heart”

Reviewed 26 March 2013

Even though it was a little bit tricky to find this place at first, staying at You Khin House is well worth it! The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable with quiet aircon for a great night's sleep. The beds are a little harder than I'm used to, but I still slept like a baby. The staff are friendly and...

“B&B with great atmosphere, disappointed in PP as a city though”

Reviewed 21 March 2013

The best part of Phnom Penh was this place. The atmosphere was lively with children and music. Also it was nice feeling like I got a glimpse of daily life in PP. As for the facilities, the architecture is wonderful and artwork great. The internet is not very good with spotty to no coverage in the room. Overall the place... More

“great place to stay in phnom penh”

Reviewed 19 March 2013

We stayed in a triple room for two nights in this guest house. It's a bit like staying as a guest in a covent as I imagine it. The staff is extremely nice, the place has a very homely feel to it and it's a bit like if visiting relatives. The room was very simple, big, well functioning AC, a... More

“Peaceful atmosphere & Friendly Staff”

Reviewed 11 March 2013

Stayed for only 1 night at You Khin House but, I had a great experience. The staff are incredibly friendly! You just feel like home and being part of a family. The room was very comfortable and clean. Centrally located, few minutes away from main attractions by Tuk tuk. It is truly a great place to stay!

“Great place which feels like home”

Reviewed 1 March 2013

We booked at You Khin House after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and were not disappointed. This place reminded me of a European bed and breakfast, especially in the friendliness of the staff and, the clean and very tastefully done interiors. We stayed in the family room on the 2nd floor which can actually house around 7 people. The food was... More

“Good place to stay with incredibly friendly staff”

Reviewed 14 February 2013

I stayed at this guesthouse while I was traveling through Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. As far as I can tell, the guesthouse is conveniently located, but some of the tuk tuk drivers didn't know it, so make sure you bring a printout/map along when you arrive in PP. The rooms are very basic and lack a little bit of style... More

All the positives mentioned below are tru- this is a really special place. Our son loved being here and making friends with the children, he even went to school a couple of the days we were there. Although more than we usually spend this place is well worth the money with thoughtfully appointed rooms and a nice little pool and... More

Highly recommend a stay here. As a hotel, it is great. Good rooms, lovely peaceful tranquil building which has a very relaxing atmosphere. Nice food.

“A fair trade guesthouse”

Reviewed 23 January 2013

We stayed in You Khin House when we arrive in Phnom Penh. There was a problem with the original room (leak in the roof) and the guesthouse sent me an email to give us different solutions. As we were already in the airport in Paris, we decided to go anyway. Finally, the room problem was fixed and the staff apologised... More
