Wonderful Experience! - What an amazing experience to learn all about the lotus plant and its many uses through this women-owned and operated, eco-friendly business. We did the deluxe tour which included hands-on crafting and a boat tour. Wonderful!

Time well spent - The boat ride was wonderful. The natural beauty was astonishing, I have never seen anything like it. The facility is very nice and the tour was excellent. I could have done without the activities, however my wife liked them. Be sure to go to the top floor of their building, the view from there is breath taking. Their products are very expensive but truely world class quality. Highly Recommended.

great experience - We were unsure but wanted to do something different in between temples. Let me just say we are so so glad we did! Our tuk tuk driver took us there for when it first opened for the day. We asked to do the boat ride which was the best part. The boat driver took us to find some lotus flowers that he picked . We saw multiple types. We then walked around the store and where they make the silk. I would highly recommend this place as a beautiful change of scenery!

Really interesting few hours learning crafts and finding out about how they use the lotus flower. Finished with a boat trip just before sunset which was absolutely beautiful.

Amazing and lovely at the Lotus Farm - It was an amazing experience to see how all these women are working the sacred Lotus. Always smiling when explainîg each part of the work. You realize that you can use the Lotus for lots of things : fiber, tea, paper, cake, perfum, etc.. All is natural and the farm mostly hire women. It is so war the best activity I have done.

Very informative visit to a highly sustainable, women-driven enterprise - Had an incredible guided tour with Sean after having time to enjoy the lotus tea and lotus seed biscuits on the top floor, as part of the tour. Sean was very knowledgeable and showed us the stages of work involved in producing this incredible, strong, and airy silk. Items are available in the store made from silk produced on the farm and vary in price, with myself buying a more affordable makeup bag made from the silk. Overall, a valuable and relaxing visit I’d recommend anyone in Siem Reap to check out.

Guided tour is fun but boat tour is horrible - We had chosen the boat tour + the tour. The tour was fun and informative. While the workers were working on removing the lotus fibers from the plant, we were told all about this. The boat tour, on the other hand, was horrible. This would take an hour longer but were done after about 25 minutes. The man on the boat sailed us a bit between the lotus flowers after which he picked a number of them and started making crafts like a clown, a necklace, hat etc. When he was worked out the boat went back. He hardly said anything could not speak English but did not make any effort to communicate. Absolutely not worth the $10 extra.
