    Very sobering trip. We had a private tour guide that shared his family experiences and made the visit sadder. Very good exhibit.

    Beside S-21 this is a must-see if you visit Phnom Penh!

    We took a tuktuk, Grab 20,000 Riel, and the trip took 35 fascinating minutes due to the traffic, roads and views. Driver waited for us, so that is easy :-).

    Entrance, with an audio tour in your language, is $6/24 and that works well! It is horrifying to hear the stories and see all the graves of the innocent Cambodian killed by the lunatic of a Pol Pot and you wish this would never happen again.

    Regretfully, we still have lunatics like Pol Pot on this planet who kill their fellow countryman of soldiers for their stupid ideas :-(.

    Visually very impressive and definitely worth a visit, although as other reviewers have pointed out access is restricted in many areas of the site which is a shame. Not quite comparable to the Grand Palace in Bangkok, but thankfully nothing like as crowded either. The visitor entrance is in a pedestrianised area with a park in front extending to the road on the banks of the Mekong. Also worth walking past at night to see it lit up.

    We were sorry there is no longer a cafe but this is still well worth a visit. Hugely important fundraising through well priced lovely art and craft. So close to the Russian Market it's very easy to stop by and feel good about your purchases or donation.

    As a group leader for a small tour guide company I booked a Nekong River Cruise with Inside Travel and worked withvtheir local travel Expert Hong Nham. We began communicating and planning my cruise months before our trip. Ms. Hong helped me choose the right boat, the right itinerary, and length of the cruise. We had a wonderful time and every aspect of the cruise was patch perfect. With a very tight window between our departure time in Phnom Penh andvour flight at tge sirport, Ms. Hong went out of her way to arrange the speedboat to depart earlier with a quick turnaround at the border and a speed van to the airport. We could not have been more pleased with our service from Inside Travel and partucurly with Ms. Hong Nham. We will definitely use their services for all our future trips to Vietnam. Thanks Hong!

    It’s a little bit expensive compared to the size of the place,it will be better with a tour guide since it’s hard to understand everything inside .

    I been there with my friend and it was really fun and exciting there. The staffs are really friendly and very helpful. They also teach us how to play and some special trick as well. Highly recommend to everyone who want to enjoy the weekend with your friend to do the exercise. The ticket price is really affordable!

    It was good to know about lives of king and how they run everything. The premise is well maintained and we got a guide as decent price which was very helpful. It is great to know about Cambodian culture by visiting such places.

    Normal market anything from motor bike parts to meat. Not very clean and very smelly. Good range of clothing & souvenirs but we would not buy any food.

    Had a few drinks early evening, good value and very sociable. Most places have a happy hour and each has a slightly different vibe.
