Excellent!! I love staying in Som Guesthouse. The location was superb, there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Only 3 minutes walking to Patong beach. Tour to islands can be arrange in short notice and the famous Fantasea show was really entertaining, all booked via Som Guesthouse. Thank you for your excellent hospitality.

Without a doubt, Som Guesthouse is THE BEST hostel we have ever stayed at. The owners, a Korean family, are the kindest and most genuine people you will ever meet, the rooms are super clean, the bathroom is beautiful, it's 5 mins from the beach and 10 mins from the major strip. A real family feel - we LOVED IT! One down side - our beds had box springs, not mattresses.. a little uncomfortable.

Very clean, pleasant, attentive staff. For Jewish travellers: It is right next door to the Chabad House and kosher restaurant.

This Place is more like a hotel than like a hostel.The rooms get cleaned every day, location is good and the staff is very helpfull.Only a few minutes to the beach and to the night life.The only reason why they don´t get 100% is, beacuse they have no pool :-)

Very clean, but more so a dive-shop with rooms above than an actual guesthouse. Location is reasonably good, but the staff is a bit useless and they're only around when the dive-shop is open.

We were only using this hostel as an overnight stay so fun wasn't high on our agenda. We were the only guests at the time so it was quiet. Grand for an overnight stay, no problems.
