the bus operator is overloading the bus, there was 2 more passengers than available seats, there was no regard to the passenger safety (luggages on the passages of potential exit routes) - the Would not use this transport company in the future

Easy to find the office and people helpful! Van was fairly comfortable just not much leg room on the front seats but it was okay for a couple of hours. We had water and a toilet break. Felt safe in the van. Helped us ensure we were on the correct ferry. No issues at all!

Bus departure was an hour later than planned. Everyone was in the bus already bus they let us sit for an hour. No explaination, random stops as well and overall just no communication. Thought the price was very high for this service. Vehicle itself was good though.

Very good experience - great communication, quick reply. We had a special request which was handled amazingly well. All the changes between busses and ferry were very smooth and quick.

From Phnom Penh to Koh Rong Sanloem. The mini bus was comfortable and they told us exactly where to go to get our boat. We arrived early to the island which was a bonus

I had a very good experience traveling from Phnom Penh to Koh Ron Sanloem. It was a very smooth ride, was perfectly organized, we even departed a bit earlier because everyone was there in time. The drivers were super nice, the van had an AC, the ferry departed just in time and we got there as planned. Could only recommend!

Late departure since we waited for many minutes before departure. We had to change the vehicle getting off and getting on to another van, with no reasons. The van was very noisy. We arrived at destination 40 minutes late, and that was a problem since we had to cross a jungle in the dark.

Bus left 40 minutes earlier so had to wait for the next one an hour later. The bus was packed and could not sit comfortably, a normal bus is more comfortable. Contact was good & fast response!

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
