There is even a coconut bowl for travellers to use when purchasing street food. These items are hopefully something that other hotels will look at selling as more and more travellers seek products of this nature.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44279 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ecofriendlyhotels-5.jpg\" alt=\"Eco shop at refill station at Babel Guesthouse\" width=\"864\" height=\"472\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Babel has recently introduced a new scheme that allows customers and locals to bring in their empty bottles of shampoo, shower gel, body lotion etc. and simply purchase refills from their eco-friendly shop.

This is an invasive plant found on the Tonle Sap Lake that is damaging to the aquatic environment.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel further reduces the need for plastic by making their signs and coasters from wood, and their slipper and laundry bags from linen and cotton. If a guest needs some shampoo or body lotion, they simply request it from reception, avoiding the need to automatically fill each room with products. They even replace plastic shower caps with hair ties.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44281 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ecofriendlyhotels-7.jpg\" alt=\"Room at Treeline Urban Resort\" width=\"864\" height=\"575\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Local villagers supply their palm leaf containers and eco-friendly food containers eliminate the need for plastic and Styrofoam takeaway items.

It\u2019s safe to say that people who choose a holiday retreat like this do not want to see a mountain of plastic during their stay. It\u2019s owned and operated by a couple that is eager to share information about the Cambodian culture. Their enthusiasm for this country is evident and guests are sure to enjoy an enhanced experience in their company.<\/p>\n<p>Meru draws on locally produced products whenever possible. It chooses environmentally friendly items throughout the villa and informs guests about the reasons for doing this. The Meru team is finding that more and more tourists are booking Meru not only for the serenity and unique location but also because they too are committed to helping the environment during their holiday.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/hotels-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1512\" height=\"77\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>5) Mulberry Boutique Hotel\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Siem-Reap-Hotels-Mulberry-Boutique-Hotel.h5652491.Hotel-Information\">Mulberry Boutique Hotel<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>has also adopted a plastic-free policy and provides each guest with the Refill Not Landfill aluminium canisters. There is no plastic in any of their 13 bedrooms and they are committed to reducing their impact on the environment as much as possible. Their in-house complimentary laundry service is a commendable way of reducing plastic \u2013 most of the laundry services in town wrap clean clothes in a bundle of unnecessary plastic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44283 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ecofriendlyhotels-9.jpg\" alt=\"Room at Mulberry Boutique Hotel\u00a0\" width=\"864\" height=\"575\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each bedroom is different in its design \u2013 from family suites to traditional wooden houses and rooms with balconies and gardens.

Much thought has gone into the design of the hotel, and their minimalistic style ensures comfort and tranquillity.<\/p>\n<p>Its spa and restaurant operate without plastic bottles and packaging and all staff members at Mulberry have been taught about the positive effects of running the hotel this way.

Information learned by the staff of each of these hotels is passed on to their friends and family. The hotels also work closely with the community to educate the local Khmer residents on ways to reduce damage to the environment. By informing each and every person, it\u2019s hoped that this generation of Khmer people will be more diligent and resourceful when it comes to recycling and discarding unwanted plastic materials. And future generations to come will benefit from today\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<p>The hotels and other local businesses team up to participate in regular clean-up days around the town, with each company nominating to remove rubbish from a specific area.\u00a0 It\u2019s hoped that in the future, there won\u2019t be a need for this, but for now, they do what they can and there is genuine hope of progress and change to come.<\/p>\n<p>The main hope is that more and more visitors to Siem Reap will book their stays at these impressive plastic-free hotels which do a great job of offering all the luxuries of a holiday while rewriting the impact of tourism on the environment into a positive one. As competitors see the importance of adopting a plastic-free policy, it\u2019s hoped that they will get on board so that everyone wins \u2013 because right now, the people and infrastructure of Siem Reap simply cannot cope.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, these five pioneering hotels are stronger together and their willingness to work as a team is rare and inspiring. They don\u2019t see competition and rivalry, even in this competitive industry \u2013 instead, they know that working together will actually have a positive effect on their businesses, their local community, Cambodia and the planet. They are not alone in hoping that their mindset, business practice and vision will inspire others to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>[tabs]<\/p>\n<p>[tab title=&#8221;Where to Stay&#8221; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Siem-Reap-Hotels.d2975.Travel-Guide-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Top Hotels in Siem Reap [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>[\/tab]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[tab title=&#8221;Let&#8217;s Go!&#8221;\u00a0icon=&#8221;entypo-flight&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[button icon=&#8221;entypo-flight&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Cheap-Flights-To-Siem-Reap.d2975.Travel-Guide-Flights&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Flights to Siem Reap [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>[\/tab]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/tabs]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite its relatively small population, the city of Siem Reap in Cambodia is home to an impressive number of plastic-free hotels.
