I stayed at a time during Covid and most of the shops and restaurants were closed, but that was fine with me. It was so relaxing to wander along the beach and have most of it to myself. The hotel was nice and roomy. Low-key and chill. The bed felt like I was sleeping on a wooden plank, but that didn't bother me too much. I like that it had a balcony to hang my beach clothes out to dry. At night, it was a little dark around the area since most of the other businesses were closed. And the nearest place to buy any groceries was a 7-Eleven and a supermarket about a 20-minute walk down the road.

Almost a VRBO! Good stay.

The people running the operation were very nice, especially the son! The room had an old man's breath smell in it and finally started going away on the last day which wasn't as fun. The room was very big. The room would get hot because the AC didn't turn on unless we were in the room. Another annoying thing was that I couldn't leave the room at night because we get one key for the room and one key for the security gate. I went out to look for bug spray for her and she was exhausted and hot so she stayed in the room. It took a little while to figure out a solution with the son who happened to be downstairs hanging out and eating. He offered his cell phone number if it was super late and I needed to get through the gate. The stay was good for the price and they work well with what they have to offer. It was a good stay!

Hidden gem in Kata Beach

Phuket Racha @ Kata is great because it's close to everything you need, and tucked back on a quiet street. You can walk to the beach in 10 minutes. On the way, there are many restaurants, massage shops, pharmacies, etc. There is a nice open-air market nearby where you can get all kinds of Thai food & great, fresh seafood at a decent price. The family that runs Phuket Racha @ Kata is very nice — friendly, helpful, accommodating, and speak English well. The rooms are quiet. The bed is comfy. The internet is fast enough for basic tasks. Free instant coffee is great because there is nowhere to get a good cup of coffee early in the morning around there. This will always be my first choice when I go to Phuket.

The beds were extremely hard. I found it hard to sleep because it felt as if I were sleeping on two twin sized beds., that had a board over the two of them. It was horrible and uncomfortable. I paid extra to stay in a hotel rather than a hostel for the bed only. Besides that the property was great.

Great location - walkable to both Kata and Karon beach, shops, and restaurants. Bus is an easy ride to Phuket town and other beaches for 40B each way (last bus is around 6pm). Alex was very kind and welcoming. I booked 1 night through Expedia to start with and then, I booked 2 additional nights directly. Credit cards are accepted on the property. Tip (probably not spelling her name correctly) picked me up at the top of the street on a motorbike as my mini bus didn’t not drive me down. Alex showed me their property (2 buildings). My first night’s stay was in the building across the street, top floor, queen bed with balcony & mountain view. The room was perfect - quiet, clean, refrigerator, working AC, bottles water, and shampoo & soap in bathroom. Towels and umbrellas are available for the beach too. Toast & coffee/tea is available in the morning too. The key needs to be inserted in order for the refrigerator, lights, and AC to function - so fridge is really only able to be used to store items overnight. The bed is pretty firm - this may not work well for some guests. For my 3rd night, I had to relocate to the other building and had a room at ground level behind the office. This room was noisier and did not have a nice feel to it albeit it was clean. There was a musty smell from the AC but it seemed to wear away once it was on for a bit. Happy that I had 2 nights in the other room.Motorbikes are available for rent on the property; I paid 250B for one day with helmet.

I knew it was going to be inexpensive accommodation but I don't think it meets the minimum standards of comfort. The shower had no pressure at all. Cleanliness of it was not up to standard either. The mattress was ridiculously hard. I had to check out the next day coz I had no sleep the first night. It is run by a well intentioned family but it is disappointing when you traveled so far to find this.. I have stayed at backpacker's before that were even cheaper and were pretty good. They call themselves a hotel but it's more like a guest house. There is no reception desk. The lady shows up whenever. The complimentary breakfast was a slice of white bread and banana. Hot water and instant coffee. Not even butter or jam. The water wasnt even hot. I jsut felt like it was one of those overpriced places that wana get the first time visitors.

Nice hotel quiet surroundings

We stayed here for one week and had a great stay! Good location. Shops are one min walk away and beach is ten min walk away. Simple but good breakfast. You can choose between scrambled egg, omelet and fried egg, with sausage, bacon or ham. Watermelon is for dessert. You can also drink as much coffe, juice and water as you want (only during breakfast). And great service from staff. Especially from Alex. We hired him as a taxi driver and he was an excellent guide, teaching us about budhism and Thailand's culture. Good wifi. One downside is the low water pressure in the shower.. We recommend to stay here!

Cozy hotel, perfect location.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. Alex (owner) was great, always friendly and helpful. Breakfast is cooked for you, rooms are cleaned daily, shampoo and soap provided (many hotels in Thailand don't provide these). Tv, wifi, safe, mini fridge all included in the rooms (again, many hotels don't have either a safe/tv/or fridge, or all 3). Alex has bikes you can rent and info for excursions to do and can get you good deals. The hotel is located very close to night markets, shopping, tons of restaurants, 7/11s, spas, ATMs, the beach, anything you can think of you can find around the hotel in walking distance. Alex's English is awesome, and he has his own taxi and will drive you anywhere you need to go for a good price. He offered us sunscreen and a towel to lay on the beach, and he even helped us book our bus trip back to Hua Hin which saved us from going to the bus station early just to buy a ticket and waiting around (no info online so we had no idea what the bus schedule was). The hotel is located a few side roads off of the main road so night noise is not an issue. You will have to take a taxi if you're looking for a more busy upbeat area (Patong) but if you're looking for a more quiet area that also has its own shopping/restaurants/etc, Kata beach area is perfect! There are tons of excursions to do nearby as well. We were very pleased with our stay, and if we return to Kata beach, we will return to Phuket Racha Guesthouse 100%.

Racha house and travels

Racha is a nice place at cheap price with good conditions. Just the mattress is not so good... Be careful with the touristic trips. The prices seem pretty random. Also most of the places are not that good. James Bond island is just a rock, although if you go to the caves before, they are nice. Not so much to see at the phi phi...
