we were tired by the time we got to this temple. But it was worth it. We did our usual wander round, and then as we were leaving we found some very interesting "unfinished" carving ariund the widow openings. It gave us a fantastic insight into the process of the carving as you could see just where they "stopped"

This is a nice temple but it cannot be compared to the most famous ones. If you are visiting with a tuk tuk, it may not be worth the trip as it is a little out of town.

Some of the photos posted by previous reviewers are for Banteay Srei (which is not far from this temple); not for Banteay Samre. Do those people even know where they went?

nice place where you will see ancient ruin,, i am sure u would enjoy there especially for those who like taking pics don't forget bring your umbrella,, it is open area and the sunny and rainy weather over the year

You will need a tuk-tuk to get there, but it is worth it. There are toilet and eating facilities just outside the entrance of this temple and not many... More

Banteay Samre is one of the best preserved temples on the Angkor circuit, but it is surprisingly little visited. In consequence, it is one of the best temples to choose for a visit. There is no visitors' centre or other facilities, and the temple itself is rather isolated. It has often been described as Angkor Wat in miniature, as it... More

Very nice structure with not so big size like other temples. Have a good time to tour thru. It locates remote to other circled temples but really worth visiting
