Mekong Bamboo Hut

Mekong Bamboo Hut is a hostel in Kampong Cham, Cambodia — one of 59 places to stay we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 560 mapped locations in Kampong Cham. In Khmer it would be described as ហូស្ទែលនៅកំពង់ចាម. It sits at 11.96659, 105.45541, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a place to stay, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Kampong Cham. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Mekong Bamboo Hut is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 800 m south-west of Restaurant, and about 800 m south-west of Mini Mart, with SVM Savimex & Wing a further 800 m south-west. Drivers in Kampong Cham usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Kampong Cham, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches.

Mekong Bamboo Hut is mapped as a hostel in Kampong Cham. Room rates across the province usually start around US$12 to US$20 a night for a fan or basic air-conditioned double in a guesthouse, US$25 to US$60 for a mid-range hotel with a lift, hot water and breakfast, and above that for resorts and boutique properties with a pool. Rates rise sharply around Khmer New Year, Pchum Ben and the Water Festival, and during the December to February dry-season peak.

Ask to see the room before paying — standards vary widely between rooms in the same building — and confirm whether the price includes breakfast, laundry and airport or bus-station pickup. Almost every property holds your passport details at check-in, most offer free Wi-Fi of variable speed, and many can arrange tuk-tuk drivers, motorbike rental and day trips at fixed prices posted at reception.

Mekong Bamboo Hut is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Restaurant (restaurant, 800 m south-west), Mini Mart (convenience, 800 m south-west), SVM Savimex & Wing (fuel, 800 m south-west), Restaurant (restaurant, 800 m north-west). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
