Reviews of Property: Affordable Luxury 5 bed, 5 bath villa, with private pool

I have been bringing my family to Samui for a number of years now and have tried a wide range of accommodation on various beaches, including some top hotels such as Santiburi and the Imperial. However after our recent holiday I can honestly say that this trip was easily the best so far - largely thanks to Villa Maphraaw!! In the 12 years we have been coming here I had no idea that it was possible to rent a 5 bedroom villa for the same price as one mediocre hotel room. Amazing!!

I really cannot say enough good things about this trip. Everything was perfect from the booking to the airport pick-up to arriving at the villa. There is a fairly steep five minute drive up to the house but it is well worth it. The views are exceptional, the house spotlessly clean, exceptionally well looked after and decorated with no expense spared. It was equipped with everything we needed from Satellite TV and Internet to a gas BBQ and fully equipped kitchen. We were even able to hire a chef for next to nothing.

I would highly recommend Villa Maphraaw and my family and I look forward to being there again same time next year.

Many thanks Villa Maphraaw!!

Villa Maphraaw surpassed all our expectations - pictures simply don't do it justice! The villa offers high quality accommodation, a stunning swimming pool and breathtaking views over Northern Samui and Koh. Nested high in the hills amongst coconut trees, the villa is private and extremely peaceful - the only sounds often being the constant chatter of the crickets and animals. Maphraaw has all the facilities and mod cons you could ask for, including BBQ, large DVD range and quiet, effective air conditioning in the bedrooms. The villa is homely and spacious and can easily accommodate 10 adults (as it suggests) without feeling you're living on top of each other.
Stuart, the Villa Guest Manager, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable giving us great recommendations for local restaurants, taxis, supermarkets and attractions providing a truly personal, yet uninstrusive service. This holiday will stay long in our memories and we can't wait to go back next year!

Just got back from such a relaxing holiday in Thailand - most impressed with the villa (it seemed like we were the party to use it because everything looked brand spanking new!). Peaceful location with a lovely pool so all we did was eat, sleep and swim! Do let your guest manager know how chuffed we were and the owner who we met twice was very eager to please. I am sure we will be going on another Samui holiday at Villa Maphraaw

The villa is only 1 year old. The first sight of villa was breathtaking with amazing views & good facilities. We experienced some teething problems, but we were compensated accordingly by Stuart, our Guest Manager (and owner). We would return to the villa due to its peaceful & unspoilt location. The closest villa is approximately 150 metres away if you are concerned by the remoteness of the villa's situation. Photos do not do this villa justice!

We had a great time in the villa - beautiful location and lovely setup. The DVD collection and high-speed internet access were both fantastic. Thanks Stuart and Emma for taking care of us

We have frequently rented houses in several countries, but none were as nice as the Villa Maphraaw! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything starting from the initial booking, the friendly email contact, the information sent, and all the amenities were great. The owner, was always very helpful, and at the other end of the telephone whenever we needed any help, tips or bookings.

The villa is beautiful with wonderful architectural details, lovely furnishings and just about everything one needs. We felt very decadent swimming in the pool in the evening with the underwater lights on, the Jacuzzi bubbling away and the outside speakers playing music. What more can one ask for? After our return to Germany, I told my friends that being back in our house felt like living in a garage after our stay at the villa. I can highly recommend Villa Maphráaw, and assure you that you will find no better accommodation on the island, especially for that price!
