Koh Rong’s accommodation ranges from simple fan-cooled dorms at Koh Touch to genuinely upscale beachfront bungalows on Long Beach, with a real range of character between properties even at similar price points.
Sok San Beach Resort
Sok San Beach Resort anchors the Long Beach accommodation scene with a range of bungalow types facing directly onto the sand, running roughly $50-100 a night. It’s one of the more established, reliably-run properties on this stretch.
Nest Beach Club
Nest combines distinctive bungalow architecture with a well-regarded on-site restaurant and bar, also on Long Beach, running approximately $40-80 a night. It’s popular enough to warrant booking a few days ahead during peak season.
Paradise Bungalows
On its namesake beach between Koh Touch and Long Beach, Paradise Bungalows offers simple, well-located beachfront rooms from around $30-55 a night, a solid middle-ground option in both price and location.
Monkey Island Resort
Monkey Island Resort offers a quieter alternative near the island’s southern end, with straightforward bungalow-style rooms running roughly $35-60 a night.
Coco’s (Koh Touch)
A well-known Koh Touch property combining a popular restaurant with simple guesthouse rooms from about $15-30 a night, Coco’s suits travelers wanting central convenience without paying resort prices.
Budget dorms at Koh Touch
Several hostels around Koh Touch offer dorm beds from $6-10 a night, the cheapest way to stay on the island and a common choice for solo backpackers passing through.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the best hotel on Koh Rong?
Sok San Beach Resort or Nest Beach Club for beachfront character on Long Beach; Coco’s for central Koh Touch convenience at a lower price.
Is it worth staying at a resort over a dorm?
Depends on priorities — resorts and bungalow properties offer more privacy and beach access, while dorms at Koh Touch offer the lowest cost and easiest social scene.
Do these properties require advance booking?
Recommended during December-February peak season, especially for Long Beach properties; otherwise most have reasonable short-notice availability.
Naga Island Resort
A slightly more upscale option near Koh Touch, Naga Island Resort offers sea-view bungalows with more consistent amenities than the typical budget guesthouse, running approximately $45-75 a night.
Broken Heart Beach Bungalows
Set on a quieter stretch away from the main Koh Touch strip, Broken Heart offers simple, well-reviewed bungalows from around $25-40 a night, popular with travelers wanting a calmer base without going all the way to Long Beach.
What room rates typically include
Most properties on this list include breakfast and WiFi in the quoted rate, though budget dorms and the cheapest guesthouse rooms sometimes charge separately for these. Air conditioning is standard at mid-range properties and above, but fan-only rooms remain common at the budget tier — always confirm before booking.
Beachfront versus set-back rooms
As with most beach destinations, direct beachfront rooms carry a premium of roughly $10-20 over garden-view or set-back rooms at the same property — worth asking about if sea views matter less to you than price.
Comparing this list to Koh Rong Samloem
If none of these properties fit what you’re after, Koh Rong’s quieter neighbor island offers a different tier of accommodation entirely — see our best luxury resorts on Koh Rong Samloem guide.
Checking current rates before booking
Room rates fluctuate more here than at bigger mainland cities given how tightly demand is tied to peak season and boat capacity — checking a booking platform close to your travel dates rather than relying purely on these ranges is worth the extra step.
How these compare to Koh Rong’s budget guesthouses
This list leans toward the more established, higher-visibility properties on the island. For the true budget end specifically, see our best budget bungalows on Koh Rong guide, which goes deeper on dorm and cheap guesthouse options.
A final word on choosing among these
Sok San and Nest suit travelers wanting Long Beach’s scenery with real resort amenities; Coco’s and Broken Heart suit those wanting central convenience or a quieter budget-conscious stay; Naga Island Resort and Monkey Island Resort split the difference with solid mid-range comfort. None of these are a wrong choice — the differences come down to exactly how much beach isolation and how much amenity consistency you want.
Family-friendly considerations
None of the properties above are specifically marketed toward families, though Sok San Beach Resort and Naga Island Resort’s more spacious bungalow layouts work reasonably well for a family of three or four wanting extra room, while the true budget dorms are better suited to solo travelers or couples.
Getting to your accommodation from the pier
Koh Touch properties like Coco’s and Broken Heart are walkable from the ferry pier. Long Beach and Monkey Island properties require a boat transfer, typically arranged directly with the resort or via a local water taxi for a few dollars — confirm pickup arrangements with your property ahead of arrival to avoid standing at the pier working it out on the spot.
Deposit and payment norms
Most properties accept cash on arrival for walk-in bookings, though platform reservations may require a card deposit during peak season. Confirm payment policy directly with a property if you’re booking a Long Beach or Monkey Island resort in advance rather than showing up at Koh Touch and comparing in person.
