Our guarantees of best price and quality
How do you select the villas in Samui?
There are simply hundreds villas all over Koh Samui. However, not all of these villas make it to our websites. For a villa to be featured, it has to adhere to a set of criteria. First, the villa has to offer world-class accommodations and amenities. Second, these accommodations and amenities have to be well maintained. Third, the area where the villa is located has to be generally quiet. There shouldn’t be any kind of activity that will disturb the peace. To determine if a villa consistently meets these criteria, site inspectors do oculars of the villa itself and its location – before and even after the villa has been featured in our websites.
Do you really inspect all villas?
We will never compromise on quality. That’s why visits are done regularly so that we get first hand assessments on the present condition of these villas.
How do you guarantee the quality?
Admittedly, we’ve set the bar quite high – nothing less than world class. After all, our customers come from all over the globe. That’s why we’ve come up with a checklist that reflects truly discriminating standards and tastes. Each and every villa we inspect is measured against this checklist. If you are curious about hoew the villa is cleaned after each stay, check out our cleaning guidelines here.
How can you guarantee the best price?
We deal directly and work closely with the owners of these villas to come up with the best or value-for-money pricing possible. If, however, you find that a villa you’re looking at and interested in booking has a lower price in another website, call our attention and the difference in price will be refunded.
How come there is no service fee? How do you make money?
By featuring the villas in our websites, we attract tourists who will rent these villas. For this service, we are paid by the owners – directly. This kind of arrangement also extends an extra benefit to customers – no booking fees!
