Rainbow Lodge

Tatai

We had a wonderful time at the Rainbow Lodge. Our stay at the lodge has been the highlight of our holiday in Cambodia. The passion and enthusiasm of the people working at the lodge, especially of Peron is fantastic. We were also lucky to meet Janet, the owner of the place, and it was really a pleasure to hear her telling the story of the place.
The place has been strongly damaged by the jungle during the covid period and it's incredible what Peron has realized with the place after Covid. All the bungalows have been renovated and not all the pictures are already displaying the renovated ones (white bungalows).
The food is delicious! You get several choices for breakfast (too many choices and that is only the start of the day). If you book a tour with them (which I strongly recommend) they also prepare a lunch for you and believe me, it is prepared with great care. Everything is packed in small boxes to keep it fresh or even warm. And than comes dinner, a three-course menu which is far too much but sooo good. 
We choose to do the jungle trek on our first day with Peron and Niko (the dog). It was a beautiful trek and not so difficult. The next day we went on a kayaking tour in the mangrove forest with Peron. The tour is beautiful and Peron is very good at pointing out spiders, snakes, crabs, ... Afterwards we went fishing for shells. A fun experience. We had to find them with our feet and pick them up with our toes. It doesn't work for European toes;-). The same evening they cooked the shells for dinner with some tamarind. Really delicious.  
The rooms are more luxurious than I expected. There is mosquito netting everywhere on the windows and good beds. There is a fan but we didn't need it. The bathroom has everything it needs except for warm water which I didn't find a real problem.
Peron also helped us to arrange a taxi for our departure.  

An amazing experience

Our 3 nights at Rainbow Lodge exceeded all expectations. We had a fantastic time staying at this eco-lodge hidden in the jungle beside the stunning Tatai River.  The whole place was badly damaged by nature in the 2 years it was shut for the pandemic and it has been painstakingly  & sustainably rebuilt under the supervision of the wonderful manager Pi Room & his delightful family. The 7 stilted cabins are comfortable & cooled by fans. The shower is cold but don't be put off by that as it is pretty refreshing in the jungle heat.  The food is delicious - fresh & local ingredients, many grown in the Lodge's garden. We especially loved the fresh fruit plate at breakfast. 

We did a couple of trips - particularly recommend kayaking in the mangroves, a truly memorable experience. We also went on an impromptu night hike!  I  had a great 90 min massage too. 

What made this stay really special for us was Pi Room - he was incredibly knowledgeable about the local fauna & flora and cared so passionately about the place. His enthusiasm was infectious - we couldn't have asked for a better host.

This was the original eco-resort n the Tatai River. Don't hesitate to book it for an amazing jungle experience.

Amazing Jungle Lodge - Fantastic Stay

Beautiful place nicely designed of 7 bungalow in the middle of the forest next to the river. 
Great food ( very good new as there no other options)
Super friendly and effective staff who make the experience very special. 
They know everything about the area. 
Great excursions.

Fantastic eco lodge with a great team.

Came here for a second time with 3 friends for 6 days and 5 nights.  The most relaxing 6 days of my life. 

You can take a bus from Phnom Penh ($17) or hire an SUV through the lodge ($87). You'll be dropped off at a riverbank; the lodge will have a longboat waiting to take you 15 minutes up river to the lodge. 7 bungalows in the jungle around a covered, open-air common area. This is where you'll eat  a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner made from local meat, fish  and produce, included in the price of your bungalow, and order fruit juices, smoothies, sodas, beer, wines and spirits, and "bar snacks." You can lounge here all day, getting up only to birdwatch though binoculars or for a magnificent two-hour massage,  or you can take a kayak out on the river. The lodge will lead you on jungle hikes - long and short - or take you by longboat to waterfalls on the river or on tours to the local village or though through the mangrove swamps. 
The best part of all this is that the revenue and profits for the lodge support local families and producers and the village school. 

A stay at the lodge is an experience you will never forget. 

A once in a lifetime experience

A great place to get away from it all and be totally spoilt by Pierom and his team/family. Lovely scenery, interesting trips (Pierom is a committed naturalist and very knowledgeable guide) and the food is delightful and more than plentiful.  Lots of attractive and unusual birdlife to be seen.  Swimming at the Tatai Waterfall is a real highlight and shouldn’t be missed.

Yes it’s a little rough around the edges (cold showers, weak Wi-Fi etc) but at the end of the day you’re in the jungle and life without all modern day comforts is both part of the experience and highly manageable.

A must visit if you like nature and peace

Great place at the Tatai river to relax and explore nature (mangrove forest, river kayaking, jungle tour). Attentive staff, excellent food and professional tour guide). We also enjoyed very much a petanque-game at the riveside.

Jungle-feeling at the Tatai river

We stayed at this place just after Xmas. All was good, bungalow setting surrounded by jungle, quiet environment, good food... kayaks available... We kayaked to the bridge and back and also all the way back from Taitai waterfall. Kayaking on the river is really relaxing, for us this was the best part. Only the waterfront wood work needs some maintenance, dangerous because not stable anymore and steps under water are also missing. But overall this was a very positive experience!

Tranquility first...

We had a wonderful stay at this eco-friendly hotel!  It is surrounded by beautiful nature.  We enjoyed kayaking, Tatai waterfall, Mangrove tour, etc.  The food was very good.  Enjoyed conversation with Mr. Eliot.  His staff were kind and friendly.

Had a wonderful say!

We wanted to visit this area of the Tatai and we went online and booked a couple of nights. If we had the chance we would have tripled the stay! It's a unique place, immersed in the jungle, you can only get there by boat and the dock is just on the river bank. Elliot, the resort manager, is a very nice person as well as all the staff and the kitchen is excellent (being a place outside the world there are no restaurants nearby...). It's hard to describe in words this perfect lodge, summarily immersed in nature, with a small room, very tidy, very clean, with a very modern bathroom.

What a wonderful discovery!

We visited Rainbow lodge from Phnom Penh and stayed for 3 nights. The location of the lodge is along the banks of the Praet river and set against a stunning backdrop of the Cardomam mountains.Elliot and his staff were highly accomodating and welcoming during our stay. Everyone went above and beyond during our stay. The lodge offers many activities including free kayaking which we took up to the Tatai waterfall (a must!) Whilst also providing opportnities for rest and relaxation!
