September’s Guestbook comes from The Viva Patong Condo D501, a one-bedroom apartment on the quieter hillside south of central Patong. Simon described it as a good option for a solo traveller or couple, praised the attentive hosting and shared practical advice about exploring the area.
September falls within Phuket’s low season and was particularly quiet for bookings this year, so we received fewer guest reviews than usual. Both ratings we received were five stars. Simon left the full review below, while a guest at Patong Heritage 601 gave a five-star rating without adding a written comment.
The Viva Patong Condo D501
Simon spent a week at The Viva Patong Condo D501 and recommended it to solo travellers and couples. He also mentioned that a scooter can be useful for exploring, although the surrounding area can be enjoyed on foot and Tri Trang Beach is not far away.
Good for a single person traveling or couple. Host was very respectful and attentive would recommend. I would recommend a bike to get around the local area but not a necessity if you like nice walks. Also not a long distance to Tri Trang beachSimon M. The Viva Patong Condo D501
A Second Five-Star Rating
Patong Heritage 601 also received a five-star rating in September. The guest did not leave a written comment, but awarded five stars for accuracy, arrival, cleanliness, communication, location and value.
What this guest noticed
Simon’s review is a good example of why matching a property with the right guest matters. The apartment is intended for one or two people who want their own living area and bedroom, with access to Patong without staying in the busiest part of town. A listing should explain that clearly, along with practical details such as local distances and whether transport may make a stay easier.
He also commented on the service he received. Guests may choose a property because of the photographs, price and location, but the way they are looked after during the reservation is part of what they review afterwards. Clear communication and an attentive response help turn a suitable property into a stay a guest is comfortable recommending.
