The Sanctuary Villa is slightly off the beaten teack and we thought we'd get a real rest after our hectic lives in Phnom Penh. Well, it was ok, the place slightly run down but very clean and the staff super. BUT avoid the "wedding" season in Cambodia ( anytime during the dry season) because you get woken up at 5.30am...

We stayed at this place as our previous hotel in Battambang could not extend our stay. I loved this place; found it very peaceful, with beautiful and well-cared gardens. Compared to the other place (see my review), the price was really good and far better, considering the level of comfort they offered. I agree with other reviews that there are... More

The owner and the manager of the Sanctuary have treated us like family every time we come to Battambang, which is usually twice a year. Courteous, polite, wanting to help, and earnest are their trademarks. Sometimes trainees do show their inexperience, but always in the most gentle manner. I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in Battambang.

This is a small querky property, which probably merits the description "boutique". It is not luxury to western standards, but it tries hard. The service was well meaning but amateurish. However, it seems the place is run in part as a charity project to train local kids in the hospitality trade. Wonderful. It'd be crass not to forgive some mistakes... More

Having read the other Tripadvisor reviews, I wonder what has happened to the Sanctuary Villa because we certainly did not have the service or impressions that other travellers had! The only thing we could agree about is that the staff were very friendly, albeit all trainees except for the one 'manager'. We felt like we were staying in a Cambodian... More

The Sanctuary Villas are located on the edge of the colonial town of Battambang. There are only about 8 rooms so it is an intimate resort with a lovely pool and a nice little restaurant. I didn't have a chance to swim in the pool but there was an inviting looking gazebo and a couple of sun lounges too. The... More

Great hotel with a number of spacious, luxurious bungalows set in a beautiful garden, 5 minutes walk from the central market in quiet area. Beutiful rooms, nice pool and restaurant (very quiet in the evenings, so for meals we went into town).

When you travel on a budget, this hotel might well be the best one you will stay in during your trip. When you use it as a stop over between your 5 star resort in Siem Reap and Le Royal in Phnom Penh, this hotel might disappoint. Since it is one of the best places to stay in Battambang, you... More

This lovely little boutique hotel is set in a garden of tropical plants and is an oasis of calm on the edge of the bustling town of Battambang. With a discounted rate for booking through Agoda, this was great value for money. We loved the fabulous comfort and luxury of the bedrooms, all set in little stand alone 'bungalows' in... More
