• Agnes (8/5): - Herr Kog ist sehr nett. Leider ist es sprachlich nicht so ganz einfach.aber mit Google Translater geht ja alles. Bitte nicht hin wenn man eine Katze Allergien hat oder keine Katzen mag. Der Geruch im Haus
• Guilhem (10/5): -
• 车 (10/5): - I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and always ready to help with anything.
• Sylvine (6/5): Bien mais nous n’étions pas à l’aise - Nous avons apprécié la disponibilité de MR Kong, sa gentillesse et ses nombreux conseils. La chance avait ce qu’il fallait. La Clim et les ventilateurs, elle était propre. La distance avec Bangkok qui était beaucoup trop loin du logement. La forte odeur de chat dans l’entrée de la maison et notre chambre était au rez de chaussée alors nous avons été impactée. La communication avec Monsieur Kong était compliqué, nous ne le comprenions pas toujours.
• ELISABET (6/5): - El amfitrión!!!! Kong es una excelente persona que te ayuda en todo y te organiza tours por la ciudad y alrededores a muy buen precio. Una fantástica compañía.
• Ewelina (9/5): Superb - It was a very nice stay The room was clean. The host was very helpful and attentive. It was a bit far from the centre of Bangkok.
• Mosa (8/5): Very good - Quite place, the guy in charge is always available for help Ability far from city
• Graham (10/5): Best place to stay .10 minutes fron the airport - Great place to stay ,especially like me a solo traveller .Kong picked me up from the airport ,which is a very kind gesture .It is only 10 minutes to his house.Kong is a very nice,friendly man ,he makes you feel very welcome.He took me and another guest from Canada to an amazing ,huge night market.At the night market there are amazing cheap food options ,clothes and other things to buy.I had a great time at the night market ,.We had a few beers at the big bar ,full.of locals and watched fantastic live bands who sang some songs especially for us in English as we were the only foreiengers there.What a awesome experience to see the real Bangkok life.
• Erik (10/5): Basic accomodation, very friendly host - Mr. Kong is extremely friendly. He picked us up from the airport and brought us to a nightmarket for delicious food and music (and of course a cold beer). Room and bathroom are basic, I would say good value for money.
• Naiduwa (9/5): Superb - Great to live with comfortable facilities with khong...
• Don (10/5): Exceptional - Kong is very helpful. He helped us go around Bangkok and other interesting places. The rooms are clean and spacious. Would highly recommend.
• Hlaing (10/5): Exceptional - Worries free due to good hospitality Kong is good to help our trip to smooth and safe
• Banibrata (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. And most of all Kong himself was the most helpful guy.
• Samantha (10/5): Mr Kong was so lovely and welcoming. - Mr Kong was very friendly for our stay, offered pick up from airports/ drop off and even took us to a local Thai market which my family and me really enjoyed. We booked for a full week as we also needed somewhere to store our luggage for that time, we stayed for 2 of the nights, Mr Kong was very accommodating for this. This is honesty so be prepared to have facilities that Thais have in their home, we didn’t see any function for a hot shower so cold shower it was but this was ok to cool and refresh after being out in the humid weather.
• Lea (10/5): Exceptional - - Kong is the nicest man - it's near to a night market - you can lend bikes - you can make a tour through Bangkok with Kong - We did many wonderful things with him - you can be picked up by the airport
• Ankur (10/5): Exceptional - Mr. KONG IS GREAT. Gave awesome service to us. He took us to places in bangkok and charged only gas money. He is a good guide and host and hard working and showed beautiful places around bangkok. In this budget you can't ask for more. He picked us from airport and dropped us there. Overall we felt like we are staying at home. Kitchen is good with all necessary stuff. 7eleven and other mart are nearby at walking distance. It is near to Don mueng airport. Only issue is that it is located bit far from city centre. But that is a boon for us as we find vegetable and other stuff at a low price. Cost of living is less at this homestay. Thank you Mr. Kong once again and I will definitely visit this place again.
• Luca (7/5): Nice private stay - A nice spacious room with aircon in a more local area od Bangkok. Mr. Kong was really kind and helpful in all ways. He offers to bring you anywhere! The bed for me was quite hard
• Dongwei (10/5): I'm very satisfied. Mr. Kong is very thoughtful and the price is very affordable. - Mr. Kong is very warm and thoughtful! Check-in pick-up and drop-off can also be printed for free, and it is very close to the airport, and the price is also very affordable. It is highly recommended, especially for travel or solo travel. It's great. Thank you, Mr. Kong, for your reception.
• Shannon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pompom (5/5): Great for travellers on a shoe string. - Kong picked me up from the airport. He is a very very nice man! The neighbourhood is very quiet far away from traffic or transport noise. The entry door was secured by a number lock The bathroom was on the bottom floor near the kitchen and my room was upstairs. The mosquito screen in the door had a hole and the door 2as line a shed door and hard to close. The padlock provided was tiny and I did not feel it would keep my things safe. It is an old house and the floorboards where moving with every step. The Aircon was so noisy, I could hear it through my earplugs. The advertised room came with a balcony, but mine had none. There was exposed Astbestos, all it need is a paint job. The whole place 2as so dark, I had to turn on the light to read. Even in my room. Definitely a great place for someone on a shoestring budget, but not justifying the picture it created in my mind when I read about it on bookin.com, specially with over 9. In the reviews. Oh also, it is on the "wrong" side of the airport, if you need something to get to fast. I booked for 2 nights, but left the next morning. Could not find a taxi for 20 minutes pulling my suitcase along. Well, and the BTS was an other 45 BAHT Taxi drive away.
• Nidhin (9/5): Superb - Kong was very nice & he came to pick us at the airport. He also tried to drop us to the nearby railway station whenever we needed that help. He also loaned his scooter for us to travel to the city & he guided us around the city. Kong is one of the best owner that I have met & he is very caring & addresses your concerns asap. I would really thank him for all his support during our stay in Bangkok. The location is far from the city.
• Nitesh (9/5): Superb - Staff is very good , he will take care of all your queries and good care of you Nothing
• Lisa (10/5): Great value for money - Mr Kong was incredibly helpful, picking me up from the airport and driving me to the ATM, and the next day driving me to the airport again, for a very small price. The room was very clean and comfortable, and I had my own bathroom. It's very close to the airport, so perfect for an overnight stay.
• Noa (6/5): Nice but far from the airport - The bed was comfy and there was both AC and fans in the room. Shower had hot water and was very clean! The owner picked me up from the airport free of charge It was quite far from the airport (around a 20 minute drive) despite looking closer on the map. Although the owner was very sweet and tried to pick me up, it took 40 minutes to find him and was very stressful. He later tried to charge me but didn't. The hostel is along some side streets and behind a gate. It was so quiet, I was the only person there which was a shame.
• Ramesh (10/5): Exceptional - Superb No
• Aditya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adeline (10/5): Cosy and safe, ultra friendly and genuine host, enjoyed exchange stories and memories! - Mr Kong was such a friendly and engaging host who truly went out of his way to help us in every way. He is a true lover of travel and new experiences, and we loved exchanging stories on the night of our arrival. He has hearing issues and is a great lip reader, and we used lots of Google to share the subtleties and specifics of our stories! We also had breakfast together one of the days. Room security is great as well. It was such a pleasure for us to stay here. It was hot when we were outside our air-conditioned bedroom - but that's Bangkok for you. :) It was not an issue for us.
• Pia (10/5): Exceptional - Kong was amazing!! He picked us up from the train station and took us to airport the next day. He also took us to the big night market and advised us what to eat. The room was air-conditioned and everithing was great.
• Tracy (10/5): Exceptional - The owner, Mr Kong was very helpful, so he gets full marks for his customer relations focus. Furthermore, the facilities are ample, and the bedroom was of good size and comfortable. Only that there were many mosquitos in the bedroom at night, so beware, take some mosquito repellent with you.
• Susan (10/5): A must do experience with Mr Kong - Mr Kong is so friendly and helpful. The place is very clean. My air conditioned room was lovely and cool. Mr Kong drove me around on both his scooter and in his car for the four days that I was there for a very cheap price. We saw many temples and even went to the beach in Chon Buri. It was more than just a Homestay it was a great experience. Mr Kong has asked me to say that you need to message him via WhatsApp or failing that use the message system in booking.com. Mr Kong is deaf and can not hear a phone ringing. Mr Kong taught me how to share my location via WhatsApp as I am a bit old and not up with technology. If you are having trouble communicating with him please message him and tell him what you need … he is very helpful. Nothing
• Elena (10/5): Good stay, for good price - We had just one short night between flights, all was good, owner take us from airport in late night, owner is good person, location is good, near market and airport Nothing,price not big, room clean, simple. Good stay for short stop, not noisy street.
• Jevgenij (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charlotte (9/5): Superb -
• Arindam (10/5): Exceptional - The Guy Mr Kong is exceptional. He made friendship with me. It gives me the Honor to say that Mr Kong reflects the Welcoming nature of Thai people in Thailand.
• Phillip (10/5): Very very nice hotel owner. Kong is the best! - Room and toilets were very clean. Besides that Kong is the kindnesses hotel owner I’ve ever met. Kong drove us around to a nearby night market where we had dinner and beer together and he also dropped us off at the airport next day! Highly recommended!
• Begona (8/5): Discovery Bangkok and surroundings - The room was big, perfect for us because we travelled with severals suitcase. Mr Kong was very helpful all the time and he took us in a day trip to see beautiful temples and also collected us from the airport. Highly recommended. The place is close to the airport but a little far from the center but it has good connections with public transport.
• Siti (10/5): Perfect for overnights :) - The room was clean and comfortable for overnight or short stays. Mr Kong picked us up from the airport. He tried to help us even though our communications was quite difficult. He drove us to nearest BTS foc and we are so grateful for his help. Thank you Mr. Kong! -
• Maria (10/5): Very good stay close to the airport with an exceptional owner - We liked this acomodation a lot. It was very close to the airport, in a quiet location and Mr. Hong was the nicest host ever. It was a bit difficult to understand each other but there was nothing he would not help us with. He even wen to the clinic with me to translate when I went for blood tests after dengue fever. He brought us a lot of fruits and picked my boyfriend for having some food. Everything was perfectly clean. A bit far away from everything but still, this hotel is usually used for overnight close to the airport and for this the acomodation was perfect. A bit hard to understand but we always got what we wanted, often even more.
• Kenneth (9/5): Superb - We stayed in two rooms in The Kong, both of them were cosy, comfortable and airconditioned. The shared bathrooms and kitchen also had everything we needed. The place is far out of the city but it's close and easy to get to a sky train station, plus Mr. Kong always offered to drive us anywhere we needed. The best on the stay was his friendliness and help with pretty much everything we needed to organize - from riding me to an exchange place, recommending where to get good food and organizing our onward travels (including driving us to the bus terminal with a stop on fruit market). All at no additional cost.
• Nikhil (10/5): Exceptional - Kong was very helpful. It was a pleasant stay. Recommend
• Harri (9/5): Superb -
• Meghan (7/5): Perfect layover stay - Extremely helpful infomative host, close to DMK airport. Perfect for an overnight layover. Overly informative about facilities, check in process was a little too long.
• Anonymous (5/5): Passable - A good location if you’re in need of the airport nearby. Plenty of fans in the room to keep you cool. Given bottles of water in the room and coffee sachets. The owner meant well but was very intense with giving us information and made us feel a bit on edge. If you’re staying to visit Bangkok city it takes a few hours by train. Quite easy to do but just not in walking distance of main tourist attractions.
• Prince (10/5): 5 stars for the Host - Everything Rien
• Willg38 (10/5): Great spot. Nicest host ever. - Everything. But more than anything I liked Mr. Kong. This is probably the best dude I've met on this trip and I've been traveling for 6 months. He's a legend. He's pure gold. Quite literally THE nicest person you'll ever meet. He even helped me get something sent to Thailand, AND helped me with shipping a package to America. He drove me all around. He helped me so much with food.... just a truly excellent human. The guesthouse is so nice it's crazy. There's literally a small gym lol. So clean, great AC, everything rocks. So glad I stayed here for a little over a week. Will absolutely come back. Only thing I didn't like is no hot water for the shower BUT it's already so damn hot in Bangkok it really doesn't matter haha.
• Joe (10/5): Thank you Mr kong - This place is great value for anyone on a budget. The host is the most friendly and helpful man and really goes out his way to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
• Harry (9/5): Superb - The property was run by a very nice man helping us through every step, room was comfortable and big felt very welcoming and accommodated. Very close to airport that’s why we booked.
• Zagrodzki (10/5): Exceptional - The owner is very nice and very helpful. The hostel is situated near the airport. Unfortunately we didn't have time to look at he surrounding area but it seemed nice. The hostel was clean and the room very spacious. The shower was one of the best we had in a long time.
• Emi (10/5): Lovely - Owner,Mr kong is wonderful.He always try to help us. This trip became a great memory thanks to him. Family room has a lot of big fans.There is no air conditioning. You can use/eat/drink refrigerator,water heater,induction cooker cold water shower,free water,free fruits,free instant noodles ,free coffees,toilet paper,shampoo,body soap and fluffy towel There is self service laundry near hostel.
• Do (9/5): Wonderful experience highly recommended - Spacious room with very helpful owner. Mr King even pick us up from the airport at midnight and offered free food and drink to us. He instructed us to the MRT station to get the free ticket to Chatuchak market. Even he only can write to us but his conversation was very clear, informative and useful. He kept his place very nice and warm for who needs the felling of welcoming home, even we are just the tourists. Lovely man and his manner is magnificent. The toilets is outside of the room.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - I was travelling with my 2 boys 8 and 17, Kong the owner was brilliant, took us to the Air force museum which the boys really enjoyed and after to feed the fish in the park, in the evening into Bangkok, really good guide and great with kids. Has a little gym which the boys loved and you could have use of the washing machine and kitchen. 7Elenen only around the corner and next to it a Noodle place where you can have a bowl for 50Bhats. I wish I had more money to give mr Kong as a thank you for all his help and driving us around but it's coming to the end of our holiday now so funds are getting low. Will definitely come back and stay at Mr Kong's next time we are in Bangkok as he is very trustworthy and kind. Nothing
• Hichem (10/5): Exceptional -
• Abhisek (10/5): Great experience - Great experience the owner is so polite Nothing to dislike
• Malik (7/5): Good -
• Uģis (10/5): Exceptional - Very helpful host
• Bhawani (10/5): Exceptional - Host was very good Nothing
• Ravel (10/5): A wonderfully exciting adventure! - The Kong is a beautiful hidden gem, full of soul, & character. We enjoyed every moment of staying here! Mr Kong is so helpful, kind and generous, & very approachable if we need something or needed get to somewhere, he was kind enough to even offer us lifts. I can’t recommend this place enough! Thank you Mr Kong!
• Sanjeewa (10/5): Perfect place for a budget price and excellent service - Excellent friendly service. Nothing
• Danutasn (10/5): Exceptional - I live in Bangkok, but I stayed the night here because I was attending a Christian songwriting workshop at the Adventist church nearby, which is far from my apartment. This was the cheapest place in the area on booking.com It is in a retro part of Bangkok, pretty interesting. I liked the hostel vibe, even though I had my own room. There was a kitchen, dining area, books to read, and chill out space. Kong, the owner, is an incredibly kind deaf man, who works really hard to make the place nice (he is a mechanic/engineer of various types) and is willing to do almost anything for people who stay. He texted me and asked me if I need a pickup, got me from the BTS, and sent me to the church the next day on his motorbike. May God bless him for how he goes out of his way to help. It is in a part of town that doesn't know much english or have foreigners around. That can be a good or bad thing depending on the person staying.
• Jules (10/5): Outstanding - The owner is very helpful and friendly. He goes out of his way to assist with everything, such as taking you where you need to go, providing free water, coffee, shower gel and shampoo. After he dropped me off at the airport, I missed my flight and he offered to pick me up for free and stay in the same room for a discount. He does everything on his own and deserves a lot of respect for what he does. The location is decent, there’s not much to do in the area but it’s a quiet and authentic bit of Bangkok compared to the busier areas. The airport is 10 minutes away so ideal if you’re catching a flight the next day, with Kong dropping you off at the airport as mentioned before. Nothing!
