How it works
Some guesthouses in Kampot advertise well-appointed rooms with riverside views and modern amenities in their booking photos but assign significantly inferior rooms upon arrival, citing "upgrades unavailable" or "different room type." Refund requests are typically refused once the guest has checked in. This is most common during peak season (November–January).
