Great place, great food”
This place is awesome. The bungalow I had was an aircon and it was quite good. I found it clean. It had a hammock outside and was north facing for a nice retreat and nap from the afternoon sun. The food was always good, I recommend you sample their “recommends”... The staff are always helpful and genuine. The unique style of writing down and giving them what you want was great, grab a menu, write and return. No waiting... the beach is a short walk away, and best visited at high tide, there are other beaches for low tide but those are a drive away. All in all I will return.

Great value for money, highly recommend!”
We stayed at Sonya‘s for an entire week and would have stayed longer if we could. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in every situation. If you go to Krabi, Phiphi or Phuket, ask them to arrange for your transfer, as they get much lower prices than you will get at the ferry terminal They also rent out motorbikes or can book tours for you. The location of the bungalows is great, although the beach itself isnt that pretty due to the many rocks in the water, but at night it gets quite lively and its good for exploring some bars. Also it‘s located about in the middle of the island, so it’s a great location for exploring the whole island north and south. We had a bungalow with a fan only and it was definitely enough. Also the connecting Restaurant serves tasty food (also breakfast), definitely try their Monkey on Island shake!! If we come to Koh Lanta again, we would definitely stay here again!

Lanta's Best”
After a month here last year, there was no question as to where to go or where to stay. Sonya's is family. They insure you want for nothing. Warm, kind and friendly, yes, we'd come back again. They are close to everything, yet away from the noise. You can get rooms on a budget. Air or fan? Long term or short term? The Restaurant is one of the best on the island The beach and massages are a short walk. Look for BB's holistic massage. Need transportation, a scooter, an activity or tour? Namfon speaks good English and will arrange it all, no worries. Swim during high tide. Explore the exposed reef at low. You will love Sonya's!

Excellent place to stay ”
I stayed here for the last part of my trip for new year for around a week in 2018. I felt so relaxed here - the staff are so friendly, the food fantastic (I didn't eat many meals anywhere else). I hired one of their scooters to explore the area and was able to extend that as I pleased. You can also use the facilities of the hotel nearer the beach as long as you buy food and drink there occasionally. Highly recommended and hope to return one day.

Short walk to the beach, friendly staff, clean bungalows. Restaurant serves vegetarian/vegan options with tofu and food is delicious. Recommend.

Fantastic”
Well worth the money, staff are great and very warm and friendly. The food and drink on offer is really nice and fairly priced. I have paid far more for far worse in Thailand. 10/10

Great Place”
We stayed for four nights at Sonya Guesthouse and it was wonderful. The restaurant has really good food, jammed with vegetables if you’re into being somewhat healthy in Thailand, the kettle in the rooms and free water up front were so helpful, as was their assistance with getting us a ferry and motorbike rental. The only thing is, if you’re looking to swim, you’ll want to head down the beach until about FreedomBar as the low tide makes it tough right outside Sonya.

Comfy, clean, modern and wonderful staff ”
Wonderful staff who will go out of their way to help ... they upgraded me (unbidden) to an aircon room - gratis. The food is great. Would suit couples and families alike. The fan rooms (concrete huts) are typical - clean and basic. Comfy. I was happy. The aircon rooms a cut above - tv, fridge and a lovely big window and porch. If nothing else, just go for the breakfast!

Wonderful, Family-Owned Guesthouse”
We loved this place and would definitely go back. The family that owns it really made us feel welcome. The food was delicious, they facilitated scooter rentals, and it's only a short walk from the beach.

Comfortable and good service”
Accommodating - I did not have an upper sheet, mosquito net or a fridge. I asked about the fridge and was told it’s getting repaired; I requested a sheet and netting and got bothe the next day. Could have moved to a different bungalow for fridge but didn’t bother. Would have been nice to store a few cold items on- yogurt and beer. If you’re on top of things you get service, otherwise not.

Cosy and friendly”
My husband and I loved this little guesthouse. On day one we both had food poisoning from the previous location and had to spend a day in bed. We had a fever and I asked the staff for an extra blanket which was provided. The location was great, right next to the beach and we adored the restaurant when we were up to eating again. The staff were lovely. Highly recommend staying here.

Sweet little bungalows behind Sonya's Restaurant ”
Cute little bungalows with a hammock behind one of our favorite restaurants in Khlong Kong. I loved the pasta dishes with real parmesan, nice if you want to change it up. The staff was kind and helpful, and you can easily access the beach. Only drawback for us was the bathroom which was completely full of mosquitos every time we returned. We figured out they were coming in through the drainage pipe, which lets out directly behind the bungalow. AC isn't necessary, except for the mosquitos.

worth it! ”
Nice place not far from the beach. But if you want to swim you'll need to take a ride to another beach.

3rd stay here and better than ever!”
I've stayed at Sonya 3 times now and it's better than ever! They have very comfortable (and affordable) concrete little "houses" (I don't want to say bungalow cause they're nicer than that), and absolutely amazing food and smoothies in their restaurant. Location is fantastic as you can walk 1 minute to Monkey Bar or any of the other beach bars and restaurants on Klong Khong Beach. I always rent my motorbike from them as well, and have never had an issue (which I hear is common on Koh Lanta with bike rental places). I will definitely be staying again next time I visit Lanta, as I think they're the best value for money and I always have a fantastic time here. The only suggestion -- the rooms do get very hot because of the sun since they're just little houses -- totally worth it to spend the few extra bucks and get an AC room. Otherwise, just make sure you open the windows during the day to let the hot air out and you can comfortably sleep with the fan. Thanks for a great stay!

Good value for money and perfectly friendy staff”
We really enjoyed staying at Sonya Guesthouse (in the Dorms and the Private room next to the dorms). The staff is perfectly friendly, helpful and cheerful. The food served in the restaurant is simply delicious and good value for money. The dorm room is above the restaurant and therefore can be noisy in the evening, but the restaurant closes at 22 p.m., so it's getting more quiet at sleepingtime. The Bungalows are nicely set behind the restaurant and further away from the mainstreet. The building with the restaurant and the dorm is a bit older and wooden, with open spaces in the wall. So it gets dusty in dry season, but you will have that problem in many places in Thailand. However, the bungalows look new and seem "airtight" ;o) We highly recommend staying at Sonya Guesthouse and Bungalows in Koh Lanta or at least have some meals in the restaurant.

Great spot”
Hello Nice little surprise guesthouse. Although a little close to the main road, as there is not so much traffic during the evening it was not an issue. Room was comfy and clean. There are also hamacs for you to chill at your bungalow. Sonya herself was a great host, smiling and making us feel at home. Price was honest for Koh Lanta. Food is very good and the shakes as well. 7-eleven and other stuff close by. I would say if you are going to Klong Khong and don't want to fork out too many Bhat's, this is a good pick.

Great Price/Performance Ratio”
I stayed at Sonya Guesthouse in the dormitory. First only booked for three days, I extended my stay twice to a total of one week as I enjoyed it very much. The dormitory is located above the restaurant so don't expect to be able to sleep much longer than 8 am. But the island is beautiful, so get out of bed to see it! If you are still tired relax at Khlong Khong Beach which is very close. It may be not the best beach on the island but is still very enjoyable due to its relaxed atmosphere. The staff at Sonya is very friendly and helpful and creates pleasant atmosphere. You get all the information you need and extending the stay or booking a transfer is done without any problem. I felt welcome during the whole period of my stay. Furthermore, in the restaurant they serve excellent food at fair prices (not higher than the general price level on the island) so I ate there many times. All in all, I can highly recommend the guesthouse. I cannot talk about the bungalows but the dormitory is a nice choice for budget travelers who are looking for some relaxed days for little money.

Comfortable, affordable, and relaxing”
I had the most comfortable and relaxing stay at Sonyas Guesthouse. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the staff members were all so kind and helpful. It is in a convenient location and close to the beach. Didn't expect a high standard of living, and so this place was perfect for the price you pay. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone going to koh lanta and met some of the most amazing people here. Definitely coming back next visit to koh lanta

Will be back again”
Great location, the women who run this place really keep it tidy and welcoming. Food is great in the restaurants especially the fun smoothie and juice beverages. The bungalows are a great size with all the amenities one needs and nothing less. Motorbike rental was really useful and efficient as you could rent directly from them with a piece of ID. They even let me rent when I was going to a resort in Klong Jark for a night and let me keep it for a couple extra hours no charge! Thankssss :) All in all I felt welcome and I can not wait to be back again next year for a couple nights again. Thanks again Sonya House for a great first time in Koh Lanta!

Sonya is the best!!!”
I am a solo female traveller and from the moment i walked into Sonyas i felt super welcome and at home! The family is running the hotel and the restaurant with lots of care and love. The food is the best i ever had! The bungalows are super nice, and as Sonya also has a dorm i met lots of other solo travellers. The bungalows tend to get hot so i would recommend the airco, although a fan is just fine as well. The bungalows have a nice little terrace and a hammock. The location is super, not right at the beach but just a 50 meters walk. The beach is a bit rocky ( no swimming possible when low lide) but had the best atmosphere of the island, nice little bars and restaurants. I booked 2 tours with Sonya, to ko phi phi and the 4 islands, they can arrange everything. Lastly, the 7-11 is a 2 minute walk, atm and some stores can be found as well. Would higly recommend Sonya, i miss the family and my bungalow already :)
