    Arcadia Backpackers

    🛏️ Hostel Kampot · Riverside 4.3/5(3,200 reviews)

    Arcadia Backpackers is a Kampot legend — a riverside hostel-meets-water park that has become one of Cambodia's most famous backpacker destinations. The property features actual water slides into the river, a floating bar, river swimming, movie nights, and a social atmosphere that's hard to leave. Dorms and private rooms are clean and comfortable, and the on-site restaurant serves cheap, tasty food. Despite the party reputation, there are quiet areas for those who want to chill. The location on the river south of town requires a tuk-tuk, but most people don't want to leave once they arrive.
