Natasha made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. I didn’t have to explain much she just got what I wanted right away and found amazing villas for me in both Phuket and Samui.

What I really liked is how smooth everything was, from payment options to the support from the team. They even helped set up a yacht day, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip.

I’ll definitely be booking with her again for my next destination.

Professional and accurate with great services. Something you need when visiting with family. Cleanliness is 10+ and attention to detail and taking care of you before you arrive are things I will always appreciate about the service and the villa we chose was stunning and felt like home after a few days.

Myles is only person you need to talk to.

Myles is an absolute superstar! From the very first message, he went above and beyond to understand exactly what we were looking for in a villa. He responded quickly with fantastic options and even responded well past standard working hours helping us narrow it down to the perfect one for our group. No pressure, just genuine care and expert knowledge that made the whole booking process smooth and enjoyable.
Once we arrived, everything was exactly as promised — stunning villa, incredible location, and every little detail taken care of. Myles truly worked his magic to make our Thailand getaway unforgettable. If you’re planning a trip and want someone who truly listens and delivers, look no further than Myles at Inspiring Villas.
Book a flight and call Myles. All you need for a complete vacation!

Huge thanks to Myles for working his magic and making everything so special. This place turned out to be the absolute perfect spot for a weekend getaway with friends and family. There was so much space for everyone to spread out and relax, and being right in the heart of the city made it super convenient. Plus, it wasn’t too far from the beach, which was awesome for some quick seaside moments. Around the area, you’ve got plenty of grocery stores and restaurants to choose from, so grabbing whatever you need or trying out different places to eat was never a problem. And to top it all off, the view was just gorgeous, definitely added that extra touch to the whole experience. It really felt like the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and good vibes all in one spot.

Amazing service and response!

When i first started booking inspiring i wasn't because i saw some reviews on the villa. I shopped around with a few different agencies and they were all quiet slow and crap. Inspiring agent got back to me with good options without being too pushy, One agent Name Myles was working with me to find me the perfect villa even after Mid-night. Thank you Myles for helping out. Its very hard booking for me because I have a big family and they are all picky with the room types so i def recommened them

I booked The Emerald Hill Beach Samui with Inspiring Villa and it was one of the best experiences with a rental agency in Thailand, they were very responsive and helped us throughout our vacation. Also, we can book the excursions with them (I booked a day trip)), and they even keep in touch with me after we checked out.

The villa itself is also great, true beachfront, quiet, yet easy access to local restaurants and Samui’s landmarks.

Bait and switch booking agency. Avoid

We didn't find many reviews on Inspiring Villas booking service either, but after several back and forths with the team, we decided to take the risk and go ahead to book with them.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO THIS. It is an unreliable service that baits and switches villas up on you at the last minute. Not worth the risk.

We were planning a family vacation to Phuket and they switched villas on us three times after confirming and after putting down deposit. After they said they confirmed the first villa we chose, and swearing it was confirmed and after we bought air tickets, they said sorry they couldn't get hold of it and now said they had a different villa for us that was $1000 more a night. They said it came with half board so it was justified. By then we already had our air tickets booked so we had no choice but to go with the more expensive villa.

Then a month before the trip, they said the owner wanted to move us to a sister villa because of a construction that was happening in front of it. The original villa was a 9 bedroom and they moved us to a 7 bedroom villa. We were very upset but the construction left us no choice. If you asked me they would have known about construction months ago and should have told us then.

When we finally arrived to the villa (the third bait and switch), we were disappointed as it did not meet our expectations. It was modern but not luxurious, at a five star luxury villa prices but 3.75 star facilities. The views and staff were amazing, but the furniture and rooms were reminiscent of a 3.5 star motel. 3 out of 7 of the bedrooms had a horrible sewage smell that could not go away no matter how they "fixed it". The living room and dining room were cramped and not well furnished. The only saving grace was the pool, the view, and the service.

We brought up all these issues to Inspiring Villas Phuket booking service and the owner and nothing was done.

Stay extremely far away from Inspiring Villas. At least when you book through Airbnb or VrBo they can't switch up on you like that last minute. Very disappointed and it was not a cheap vacation for us either.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the villa changes before your stay and the odor issue reported in several bedrooms. We understand how frustrating this must have been and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

While the villa change was necessary due to circumstances involving the properties and their owners, we recognize the disruption it created and regret the impact on your trip. The odor issue has since been investigated with the villa owner and corrective actions have been taken.

We do appreciate your kind comments about the villa staff, pool, and views, and we will be sure to share your compliments with the team.

Warm regards,
Inspiring Villas Team

Review of Inspiring villas - Moonstone and Sapphire villas

We booked a 10 bedroom villa (Serenity villa) with Inspiring villas 6 months prior to December 2023. When I went to pay the second installment a month prior to the stay, the owner unexpectedly cancelled and put us in a spot. We had to hurriedly make a decision to move to two alternate villas instead of the one 10 bedroom villa. Finally We stayed at Moonstone and Sapphire villas from 10th to 13th of Dec, 2023. The villa staff are extremely helpful, are amazing cooks, tend to every need and are very kind and would ask for them specifically (Acha & Naaa) for any future visits.
Regarding the premises, they definitely need updates and maintenance. A couple of the bathrooms were flooding and choked drains mixed with sewer water. Several AC units were malfunctioning. Upon arrival our fridge was not working, and the replacement fridge too was not too good. The pools are good.
The villas (Moonstone & Sapphire) did not meet the expectations as per the pictures posted on the various websites. I would not recommend these two villas unless they are upgraded.

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the unexpected cancellation of your original 10-bedroom villa and understand how stressful this was, especially so close to your stay. We also regret that Moonstone and Sapphire villas did not meet expectations due to maintenance issues. Please be assured these concerns have been addressed with the villa owners.

We truly appreciate your kind words about the staff, especially Acha and Naaa, whose care and service mean a great deal to us.

We are very sorry that your experience fell short of expectations and thank you for helping us improve.

Warm regards,
Inspiring Villas Team

We booked a family holiday through Inspiring Villas in Phuket, Thailand. Unfortunately the Covid 19 pandemic hit just before we were due to stay (mid April 2020). Inspiring villas were completely uncaring about our situation and only offered us a credit with lots of different rules around the use of the credit. For example, we had to book later this year. They didnt care whether there was any availability for later this year, whether airlines would be back again, the fact that we needed to book during australian school holidays etc. etc. Completely unreasonable. Totally stonewalled us. I would never book through them again and I would recommend that you find a more reputable agent to book through.
The response below, (written 6 years later!), and yet we have still received no refund from them. If they really have improved, they would refund us, given this all happened during the start of Covid.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment you felt during such an uncertain and challenging time. We regret that our communication came across as uncaring or unhelpful, as this is never the experience we aim to provide to our guests.

At the time, the situation required us to follow strict policies, but we fully understand how the limitations around the credit and rebooking conditions added stress to your plans, especially with travel uncertainties and school holiday considerations.

Since then, we have taken steps to improve our approach, offering more flexibility and stronger guest support in similar situations. We sincerely regret that your experience did not reflect the level of care we strive to provide.

Warm regards,
Inspiring Villas Team
