The villa is stunning and well-reviewed, but it sits off the main road with no walkable amenities — you need wheels to do anything. One guest also flagged an unexpectedly high electricity and water charge after a two-week solo stay, which is worth clarifying with the host before booking. Worth noting: with only 28 reviews on the platform, there isn't enough data yet for a confident recommendation.
🚩 Red Flags
“Despite staying alone and using resources sparingly over two weeks, I faced a surprising charge of 170 EUR for electricity and water, which seemed excessive. This led to a rating of 4 stars instead of 5.”
“The area surrounding the villa is tranquil, but you'll need a car or scooter to get around. Delivery apps like Foodpanda don't service the villa directly — set your delivery location about 200 meters toward the main road.”
“The location is a few minutes drive from Mae Nam and there is nothing in walking distance, or really in the local area so you need transport — but the whole island is 10 miles across so nothing is very far away.”
“The villa is not on Google Maps. They provided the address and coordinates before arrival which helped a lot.”
“A minor inconvenience was that the rain shower heads didn't function properly.”
“The entrance door of the middle bedroom was defective. The hosts informed us in advance and took care of it immediately.”
“The pool is quite deep — perhaps a consideration with small kids.”
