This place was $20 per night for a private bungalow with private bathroom, hot shower, mosquito net and fan. And it was amazing - favourite accommodation in Cambodia!
The Riverhouse is right on the river, and for $4 you can rent a kayak for the day and explore the river (including many great river restaurants along it).
They have a bar, powerpoints for charging devices, and great service. The owner named the accommodation and restaurant for her young daughter, Lily.
As always, we booked this one via WhatsApp and got a cheaper price than on Booking.com by paying direct to the owner.
The food prices are reasonable as well - not as cheap as a locals' restaurant, but not as expensive as a foreign-owned resort. And you have a beautiful restaurant on the river to sit and enjoy your meal.
Google Maps in Cambodia is highly inaccurate - and getting here is no exception. We met quite a few people who were unsure how to get there. Whenever you're travelling somewhere without accurate road information, simply switch your maps into Satellite View. Make sure you download your map offline before leaving reception, and then check in with the satellite image to verify your location if you're unsure. There is signage the whole way, but some of the signs are easy to miss.
If you look up directions to Lily's Riverhouse, Maps will tell you to turn down the dirt road next to Prek Svay Primary School and then walk - these are terrible directions!
Switch your phone into satellite mode and look at Google Maps now. We've highlighted the road in red for you. Once you make the first to the left past the pagoda, you'll see little signs at every intersection highlighting the way to Lily's Riverhouse - just keep an eye out for these or refer to satellite mode if you need.
