The hype
A stunning, serene escape that feels miles away from the dusty chaos of Siem Reap.
Templation Hotel
$130-280 / Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want a private pool sanctuary that feels like a jungle expedition but is only 10 minutes from Angkor Wat.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Massive private pools (4x7m) in the villas that put other 'plunge pools' to shame
- The 'Jungloo' glamping tents offer a unique, high-end safari vibe with AC
- Floating breakfast is often included for villa guests without the usual $50 surcharge
Kurzfassung: It’s a legitimate jungle oasis where you trade the noise of Pub Street for the sound of crickets and the occasional gecko in your open-air shower.
Bewertet von @wayfarer_anki: I was torn between the glamping tent and the pool villa! The tent felt so adventurous with its own plunge pool, but the villa offered total privacy and space. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either for a recharge near Angkor Wat.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
Nature is the main amenity here—if you freak out at a frog near the pool or leaves in the hallway, book a concrete box in the city instead.
- You prioritize privacy and want a pool you can actually swim laps in
- You love the idea of 'eco-luxury' and open-air living
- You plan to wake up early for temples and need a quiet place to crash by 9pm
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
9
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. They light mosquito coils for you at turndown.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate stone and tile, but expect fallen leaves or a stray ant due to the open-air design.
- Maintenance: Generally excellent, though some 'Jungloo' fixtures show minor wear from the humidity.
- Linens & towels: Fresh, crisp, and plentiful. Pool towels are large and fluffy.
- Odors & scents: Smells like rain, wet stone, and lemongrass. No musty carpet smells here.

Vor der Buchung
Gut zu wissen
- The hotel is home to a family of rabbits and guinea pigs that roam the gardens.
- Tuk-tuks to town cost about $2-3 and are always waiting at the gate.
- The 'open-air' bathroom design is non-negotiable in villas; bring a robe for the walk from shower to AC.
Was Sie einpacken sollten
- High-strength DEET mosquito repellent (hotel provides natural stuff, but bring the heavy duty just in case)
- Slip-on shoes for moving between the bedroom and the outdoor bathroom
- A headlamp or book light if you're a night reader (lighting is dim)
Zimmer-Genie
Beste Auswahl
- 1-Bedroom Pool Villa: The gold standard here. Huge private pool, total privacy, separate living area.
- Jungloo: Best for a unique 'glamping' experience if you want to save ~$50/night but still have a private plunge pool.
Zimmer, die Sie meiden sollten
- Junior Suites: They lack the private pool and privacy that define the Templation experience; you're just facing the main pool.

“I am booking a 1-Bedroom Pool Villa and would love one as far back from the lobby as possible for maximum seclusion. We are celebrating and would appreciate a floating breakfast setup if available.”
FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the pool private?
In the Pool Villas, yes—completely walled off and huge (4x7m). In the Jungloos, it's a smaller plunge pool but still private.
Are there mosquitoes in the room?
Rooms are sealed and have AC, plus mosquito nets. However, bathrooms are open-air, so you will encounter them there.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, and it's excellent a la carte. Villa guests can often get it as a floating tray in their private pool for free.
How far is Angkor Wat?
Incredibly close—about a 10-minute drive. It's one of the closest luxury hotels to the temple complex.
Can I walk to Pub Street?
No. It's a 3.5km trip. You'll need a tuk-tuk (10-15 mins).
Is it pet friendly?
Not for your pets. The 'pet friendly' tag often refers to the hotel's own resident rabbits and guinea pigs.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
Ask for the 'Khmer' breakfast set—it's often better than the Western options.
- ✨
The spa is excellent and reasonably priced; check if they still offer a 15-minute welcome massage promo.
- ✨
You can rent bicycles directly from the hotel to cycle to the temples (flat ride, very scenic).
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'Jungloo' tents are made of high-tech fabric that keeps AC in surprisingly well, but they can be noisier in heavy rain.
💡The main pool is often empty because everyone is hiding in their private villa pools.
💡The resident rabbits are cute but can startle you if you're walking the paths at night.
💡Room service food is decent but the menu is vast—stick to local dishes like Fish Amok for better quality.
💡The solar power system covers a huge chunk of the hotel's energy needs (eco-bragging rights included).
