We arrived here after we arranged permission through Sheila at a company called hiddencambodia. We were able to stay at the homestay and spent one night here so we could explore the temple city. The house is a true Khmer wooden house and sleeping in it is a great experience and is very comfortable. The lady that was there to look after us made the most mouthwatering food and even made a fire to heat water for us so we could have a great bath later on. You will thoroughly enjoy this homestay. Taking a walk around the village you will be met by very friendly people and will see the wells donated by good samaritans - also through the help of hiddencambodia. Do yourself a favour and come here with your own motorcycle (or with a motorcycle tour group) so you can explore the temple complex at your own pace. You cannot truly experience this temple complex without sleeping here - it is surreal. 5 stars definitely.

Small video made by an family group of adventure guests staying in Koh Ker Village at Koh Ker Jungle Lodge Homestay for 2 nights in December 2019. They travelled by minibus with a guide and cook. With a drone, they did some arial shots of the village and the lodge that lies directly behind the main temple.
