9.6/10Loved Villa Toba! The place is just as pictured, unlike some of my other experiences renting villas in Phuket. Very spacious, clean, easy to use appliances. Quiet and beautiful grounds very well kept. Concierge service was very helpful as well and easily accessible. Only reason I put 4/5 stars for the services is because someone came to clean the pool unannounced, and I wish they had let us know. That said, the guard at the front is very thorough, which is good because sometimes the gate doesn't lock all the way. Would come back again!
