Siem Reap’s Temple Group Hotels Earn Tripadvisor’s Highest Honor, Showcasing Cambodia’s World-Class Hospitality
Cambodia’s tourism industry has received another major international boost after five boutique hotels managed by Temple Group in Siem Reap were recognized among the world’s top-rated accommodations in the prestigious Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best 2026.
The achievement highlights not only the exceptional service standards of the award-winning hotels but also Siem Reap’s growing reputation as a premier global travel destination.
Five Hotels Receive Tripadvisor’s Top Recognition
The five Temple Group properties honored with Tripadvisor’s highest distinction include:
Golden Temple Residence

The Tripadvisor Best of the Best award is reserved for the highest-rated hotels worldwide based on guest reviews and ratings collected over a 12-month period. Only the top 1% of listed properties receive the coveted Golden Badge recognition.
This year, only a small number of Cambodian hotels achieved this distinction, making Temple Group’s success particularly remarkable.

As a result, many travelers are extending their stays and discovering a wider range of experiences throughout the province.

Guest reviews and ratings remain one of the most trusted indicators of service quality in the hospitality industry. Positive feedback from international visitors reflects the dedication, professionalism, and passion demonstrated daily by hotel staff.
The company also emphasized that the achievement belongs not only to the hotels but to the wider Siem Reap community, including tour guides, artisans, local suppliers, restaurants, and tourism partners who contribute to creating memorable visitor experiences.
Positive News for Cambodia’s Tourism Industry
The recognition comes as Cambodia continues investing in tourism infrastructure, improving international connectivity, and attracting travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences.
Industry analysts believe awards such as Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best help strengthen confidence among international visitors and encourage future travel to Cambodia.
The achievement also reinforces Siem Reap’s position as one of Southeast Asia’s most attractive destinations for travelers seeking a combination of history, culture, luxury, and genuine hospitality.
