My name is Srors. I am an independent woman in my 30s. I live in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I was born in Kampong Cham, southeastern Cambodia, and moved to Siem Reap with my family when I was 6 years old. I received my education in Siem Reap, graduating from university with a degree in education.
I’m currently working as a school coordinator at a bilingual school in Siem Reap. I’m also the founder and owner of Rokhak Women Handicraft, a social enterprise that produces various items from water hyacinth. In addition to my work, I am involved in several social projects that benefit local education and children. Recently, I joined a new organization called SWIM Cambodia to prevent children from drowning.
I am an adventurous traveler who has visited several countries in Southeast Asia. I enjoy trekking, camping, and trying new foods. I love cooking and sharing our culinary skills with others.
That would be my pleasure to host people into my place. I am looking forward to sharing my home and my culture with you and your family.

This HOMESTAY was a truly authentic experience. The home was lovely, and even though the host was away, she made sure to keep in contact with us and provided an excellent substitute host. I enjoyed the basket weaving class and wish that I had had the time for the cooking class and to visit the host’s shop. As it is a traditional style home, I would caution those with mobility issues as the stairs to the room are more like a ladder. My sister and I had a very unique and wonderful time.

We spent only 2 nights at Wat Chreav. Srors was very busy but she took care of us with her friends. I could know Cambodian people life. 1st night, Srors took us to khmer restaurant and suggested amazing plates. Last day, Srors friends came to her house and taught us cooking with local foods and weaving water hyacinth.
We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to any other future guests. We would love to see them again at a future date.January 2024
It is a great and special place. To be in the room made me very happy. A beautiful place to be, sit and rest. The host is friendly, organized and helpfull. But also funny and we had great conversations. It was an honout to be there.

I had an amazing stay with Srors, and wish I had stayed longer that two nights. The cooking class with a trip to the local market was a lot of fun and I got to try a bunch of different things with Srors supervision;)
The room is specious, cosy, clean and simply beautiful.
I highly recommend this great place and amazing company and would def come back!January 2024
The asurrance of an amazing holiday did not start only when I got to the homestay. Right from the get go. Sros has been super helpful, approachable & was always contactable whenever I have any queries. Especially important for a female, solo traveller. 1st time in Cambodia.
This is truly a HOMEstay. I felt right at home. To the warm welcome of Ms Sreymom. The decor, the vibes & design of the whole house made me feel relaxed immediately. Sros’s foresight of making a home for everyone who are away is definitely accomplished.
Made some beautiful friendships along the way. Thank you Sros! Attempted a weaving class that was organised by Sros. Empowering the women in the community at the same time.
Highly recommend Wat Chreav Homestay! Help is always there when needed.

Srors and his house are fantastic: she is a wonderful person, we immediately became friends and we felt like at home. She was very helpful and gave us many tips for our trip. The house is a great place to rest, live country life or work.
I also recommend to do her cooking class because it was a great experience: go together to the market and cook typical Cambodian dishes.
I hope to return again!!August 2023
A perfect place to escape yourself from a busy life!
A full experience of Cambodian wooden house with a very quiet and safe location make this Homestay like a home. We had a very good time spending a with a group of friends there. Sros is the owner of the house is very friendly and kind that make her hospitality to guests more than a hotel staffs. I love the bathroom with an open window that you can see the outside view of farm and a far away pagoda. The bed is comfortable and the room is spacious. The balcony is huge which you can lay down on the sofa to get fresh air. You can also use the kitchen downstairs to cook or set up some food. We will definitely comeback very soon.
