Accommodations

Accommodation in Cambodia varies in the range of US$ 3.5 to US$ 27. But if you are a budget traveler, Cambodia's hostels offer accommodations costing US$ 3.5 per night. The private rooms in the hostels or guest houses are in the range of US$5 to US$ 10 per night based on where you are in the country.

If you want to be more comfortable, you'll have to shell out US$15 to $US 20 for a room with aircon, TV, and other amenities. Airbnb prices starts at US$ 10 per night but if you want to rent the whole apartment, the cost can reach up to US$ 27

Food

If you fancy a local restaurant, it would cost you about US$ 3 to US$ 5 compared to a typical western meal that costs around US$ 5 to US$ 15. But if you're staying for about a week, we suggest that you buy groceries and own cook and pack your own meals for a weekly budget of US$ 20 to US$ 25 per week.

Transportation

You can rent Tuk-tuks (a three-wheeled taxi pulled by a motorcycle) for US$ 15 to US$ 20 per day for your daily commute. Your hostel can probably negotiate for you so that you can pay a lower cost. If you want to take a trip across the country, the bus rides would cost you around US$ 10 to $ US$ 13 per person.
