Rainbow Lodge

Rainbow Lodge is a solar powered eco retreat with excellent food , friendly staff and wild untamed nature on your doorstep ( and sometimes closer ) . It is reached by boat from the nearest village . They can arrange authentic guided jungle walks with a knowledgeable guide with superb English . You can swim ,kayak in the river , relax under a thatched roof in reception or bird watch from your bungalow patio . If you want buzzy nightlife, thriving club scene or alcohol fuelled hedonism this is NOT the place for you .

Rainbow Lodge in Koh Kong is such a special and cosy place. With only eight bungalows, all built on stilts in the middle of the jungle, you really feel completely surrounded by nature. Manager Piarom and his colleague Gee (Gerard) make sure you have everything you need. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming and both speak excellent English. Gee is originally from the UK but has clearly lost his heart to the Cambodian jungle – and to his Cambodian wife, who is Piarom’s sister-in-law. We stayed on a full-board basis and the food was absolutely fantastic! In the evening, all guests eat together and enjoy whatever is being prepared that day: a delicious three-course dinner with a wonderful buffet. Because the lodge is so small and remote, evenings are all about good conversations, playing games and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. One of the highlights was the 2.5-hour jungle trek led by Piarom. We visited during the rainy season, so walking along the narrow jungle trails to the waterfall was a real adventure! At the waterfall, a delicious lunch was waiting for us in the boat, followed by the opportunity to swim. Afterwards, we travelled back to the lodge by boat. Expect to get wet and muddy, but that is all part of the experience – and luckily they offer a laundry service! Everything at Rainbow Lodge is run with great respect for nature and sustainability. It is not a luxury resort in the traditional sense, but that is exactly what makes it so special. You are truly immersed in the jungle, surrounded by nature and looked after by wonderful people. An unforgettable experience and a big recommendation from us! ️

What an amazing experience. Had an awesome time. The hospitality was great nothing was too much trouble. Lots of peace and quiet. If you love nature this holiday is a must. The food was great and catered for all dietary needs with local produce. The excursions we well organised and gave lots of interesting information about the local wildlife. Also great value for money.

The room was perfect, and spotless no critters to be seen anywhere! The team were amazing and extremely accommodating, very friendly and helpful throughout. It was truly an amazing experience, one which I recommend to everyone, I will be back!

During 2 weeks in August 2026, our family (consising of 2 adults & 2 children aged 8 & 5) traveled around Cambodia. Having visited & enjoyed the busier environments of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap & Battambong prior, Rainbow Lodge offered a very pleasant change of pace. The jungle location was peaceful & beautiful, the people running Rainbow Lodge were so nice & respectful, the bungalows were simple but had everything we needed (i.e. bedding & a refreshing shower), the activities on offer (we did the Mangrove Tour & the jungle trek) are so much fun, and the freshly prepared food was stunning. I would advise people to look into Rainbow Lodge before booking a stay, as I can imagine it's not for everyone: the showers in the bungalows do not have hot water since it's an eco-lodge that provides all of its own power, dinner is served at 7 PM and everyone eats the same menu (you don't know what you'll be served beforehand, but it was delicious every evening), getting to the lodge and hiking in the jungle are physical activities that require some effort, the rooms had fans but no air conditioning, the lodge is only accessible via boat, etc. For us, however, all of the elements mentioned above, were only pluses. Anyone with a heart for nature and a bit of adventure, will surely think the same. Absolute gem of an accommodation!

We had such a wonderful stay in the Rainbow Lodge. We stayed for three nights and booked a kayak trip in the mangroves and a splendid hike in the jungle to see the waterfall. If you want to experience nature, this is the place to be. Pi Room and Gee are such experts guides and nice people. If you just want te relax: you can take a dip in the river. My kids (12 and 15) just could'nt get enough of jumping from the platform. To top this off, there is the delicious food (and special treats for fussy eaters...) Thanks Pi Room, Gee and the entire team of Rainbow Lodge to give us an unforgettable experience and to protect this valuable forest.

It was a great experience to stay at the The Rainbowlodge! Beautifull place, nice People with a lot of knowledge about the jungle and birds.

The stay was very nice. The people were great and the work they are doing is fantastic. Absolute recommend to stay here!

You like nature, good authentic food and feeling welcomed, the Rainbow Lodge is THE place for you! We stayed there 2 nights, took the trekking and kayaking combo, we really wished we could have stayed longer. Great experience in Cambodia!
