Nation ‘One of the Best 5-Star Hotel Destinations’
Cambodia has made it to the top 10 of the most affordable and highly-rated five-star hotel destinations in the world.
A study released this week by The Hotel Guru ranked the Kingdom 9th in the world in terms of affordability and how it is viewed and rated by customers. The Hotel Guru describes itself as a “website whose mission is to simply find and review the best places to stay around the world”.
The study covered 99 countries across 6 continents.
European countries dominated the rankings, with seven of them in the top 10 led by Armenia, which ranked first overall. The other six European countries in the top 10 are Serbia (2nd) Poland (4th), Lithuania (5th), Romania (7th), Bulgaria (8th) and Latvia (10th).
The other places in the top 10 were occupied by the South American countries Colombia (3rd) and Paraguay (6th).
Cambodia was the sole country from Asia that made it into the top 10. No country from Africa, Oceania and North America made the grade.
In making the rankings, The Hotel Guru considered not only the average lowest price for a night stay but also the opinions of travelers.
“We have factored in the thoughts and opinions of fellow travelers – for two good reasons. One, it helps level the playing field, because what passes as a five-star hotel varies considerably throughout the world. And, two, because of reviews matter. Cost is important, certainly, but so too are the views of other travelers, which also helps make sense of some prices,” The Hotel Guru stated on its website.
Cambodia has a growing number of five-star hotels. Most of the five-star hotels in the Kingdom are located in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville.
Among the most well-known five-star hotels in Cambodia are Sofitel Phnom Penh, Raffles Le Royale, Le Bokor Palace, Park Hyatt Siem Reap, Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort, Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel, Song Saa Private Island, Shinta Mani Wild, Blue Lime Hotel, Alila Villas Koh Russey, The Bale Phnom Penh, Hotel Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort, FCC Angkor by Avani and Anantara Angkor Resort & Spa.
