I liked the location primarily, quickly followed by the attentive managers. The homestay is conveniently located to the SK11 gym, two 7/11s and multiple food places. Then there's the short walk to the beach and the night market. The managers are always informative, quickly responsive to your needs, and sometimes will go out of their way to do that (like taking me to the Immigration Office in Patong to extend my visa).

Everything was great. I'd stayed at Phuket Racha Kata Homestay for 28 days in 2023, and had mentioned in my review for that period that the AC in my room wasn't operating efficiently. When I returned in 2024 the AC had been replaced.

The best accommodation I have ever stayed in! The owners Alex and Thip are wonderful and very friendly. They made us feel at home. Alex is quick to help with any queries or questions we had about thai life and phuket. We would definitely stay again. The room was excellent and cleaned every day by the friendly staff. The bed is comfortable and clean and large. The shower has hot water and Is very clean! Fresh towels daily, 2 bottles of water given also. The balcony is large and with a table and drying rack. Location is perfect! Only 10 minutes walk to the beach. Area is very quiet all the time and so close to Patak road with all the amazing thai food places, and street carts. Jungle very close by too which was great! I definitely recommend this guesthouse to anybody, and we will be back to stay again! We ended up extending our stay for the full 10 days of the holiday because it was the best guesthouse ever. Thankyou for making our holiday that extra bit special. If you are looking for an authentic Thai experience, stay at Phuket Racha Kata homestay.

We didn't want to leave when it came time to go to the airport!

It was a wonderful experience staying at this place. We booked last minute and we were apprehensive of the place. But it was beyond words starting from the hospitality from the time we entered. The person knew my name before even me telling him. Which meant he knew his customer arrival well. He allowed us to stay 2 hours prior to the booking time. He did not demand more for it. The place is so thoughtful arranged. He has kept mats to carry to the beach and slippers and water to wash feet once back...these small things make a lot of difference. A lady there taking care of the place was also very polite and friendly. .Loved every bit of the place!!

Excellent host - very helpful and polite. Everything was super clean. I even saw one of the staff cleaning lines between the tiles with a toothbrush. Great location, both close to the beach, the Nightmarket, and quiet at the same time.

The water pressure in the shower was weak. No semi transparent curtains. You either don't have any sunlight or don't have any privacy. A more modern TV with Netflix would also be nice.

Great location, close to bars/restaurants/night market and to Kata beach. It's quiet at night and the room is very spacious. The staff was super friendly! We got there in the morning and they stored our bags until the room was ready. After checking out, we also left our bags there and picked them up in the afternoon. We were not charged in any of these situations. There is a small kitchen with some utensils, bread and biscuits that you can serve yourself throughout the day. They also gave us bottles of water every morning.

Nothing

A super welcoming owner always ready to help and give infos on the surrounding area, the nice spacious room with a balcony at a fair price with a good aircon and wifi. There is free water and coffee every day, laundry service is provided quick and efficient. The area is very quiet, close to the beach (15min walk) and the night market is just 5min from the hotel. There is a 7-Eleven nearby and a microwave as well for food options.

Beware than the mattress is quite tuff, gotta get used to it !

What can I say that hasn't already been said. Alex , his wife and staff were all great, quickly responsive, helpful and friendly. The home-stay is centrally located on a private road so there's very little through traffic and the area is generally quite quiet away from the busy shopping areas. I'd originally booked a standard room but was offered an upgrade to a Deluxe room at a nominal charge so I jumped at the opportunity, ending up in a 50% larger room with a balcony. My room was cleaned every day (if I wanted) and two bottles of water and two coffee/sugar/cream were left in my room every day. When I asked for four lots of cream, that's what was left in my room thereafter. Hot shower, AC and beach AND bath towels provided. I hired a scooter for three days but didn't use it much as everything that I wanted was in easy walking distance. I really only wanted the scooter to get to the southern entrance to Kata Beach as the centre entrance was closed for some sort of earthworks. I started using Tuktuks to travel to the beach as it cost less than hiring the scooter. Alex's wife pointed me to a small cafe called "Koi" about five minutes walk from the home-stay. They cook Thai food for Thai people there. The food was awesome so I would go there for brunch almost every day. On more than one occasion, when I happened to be heading out to eat, I was invited to a home cooked Thai lunch with Alex, his wife and the home-stay staff. The food smelled divine so there was no way I was turning that down. All in all a great stay and I'd easily stay there again when I'm next in Phuket.

Not me at all but some of my visitors complained that the AC wasn't cold enough.

Location is perfect - really quiet spot near night market and beach. Also spacious room, airconditioning, towels, fridge and common kitchen area. Homestay owners were really lovely and gave us really good local food place recommendations and deals for boat day trips, therefore it is not wise to buy tickets beforehand online (especially recommend PhiPhi boat tour). All in all, our stay there was amazing!

Bathroom could use some renovation.

Racha@Kata did not treat us as guests, we were treated like a family. The overall stay was extremely comfortable, and full of warmth and care. The place was very happening, at a walking distance from Kata beach. It has lots of eateries around. The room was super clean and very spacious. Alex guided and helped us with lots of information on island tours and gave a pretty good deal on our tour bookings. We did all the booking with him only. Alex and family were very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. He also gave information on local markets and food. This was my best-ever homestay experience. I highly recommend everyone to stay at Racha Kata Homestay only, when in Phuket

There is nothing. Everything was perfect.

We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. The room was clean, big and had a little balcony. The bathroom was also a decent size and the shower was not too close to the toilet (like we've seen so far). We loved the fact that you can borrow for the day beach mats, beach towels, hats and umbrellas. The owners are nice, they gave us useful information about police checkpoints. There is a common kitchen/dining area where you can prepare your breakfast in the morning.
