Guestbook Reviews

John was a perfect host giving clear instructions and helpful recommendations. The villa is a beautifully huge space and the pictures really don’t do it justice. The location is literally within walking distance of everything you could need. If we return to Phuket we will be staying here again for sure!

John was a great guy, very nice and friendly to us. We definitely enjoyed the conversations with him. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a great time.

We had a family reunion at John’s place. It’s incredibly spacious. The kids were able to run around and have a blast. All the adults were able to still have quiet, and privacy in their own rooms if needed. The layout is perfect.John was a fantastic host and accommodated late arrivals and transfers for delayed guests. Overall there is not one negative thing I can say about John’s place. If we have another family reunion in Phuket, this will be the place we stay.

Very good experience living in John’s place.

The rooms are clean and hygienic, making it perfect for families. The swimming pool is awesome, and the facilities are comprehensive. I appreciate the daily cleaning service provided. Suggest adding a mahjong table in villa. However, the cloth on the pool table is damaged and should be replaced, and the pool cues need to be provided with cue chalk. We will stay here again absolutely. One reminder, the floor tiles under the pool table are cracked and can easily cut people's feet. It is recommended to repair them to prevent injuries.

John is a very detailed and organised person, giving clear instructions on airport pickup, and an introduction to the villa with practical safety tips especially important for our group with 7 kids. He is very responsive to our requests and needs. John also gave good recommendations on outlying island tours - just take his advice! There are many villas in Phuket, but this one gives the ambiance of a big mansion. Its large pool comfortably fits in over 10 adults and children, and the pool is deep enough for a good swim. The entire place, including the garden, is extremely well maintained. One morning I woke up to birds singing on the tree I thought was an iphone ring tone. About the neighbourhood:Very quiet while being very close to everything. Time by foot - Nice massage place: 2 min, sizable 7-11: 4 min, restaurants: plenty around, a good muay thai gym: 15 min, Nai Harn beach: 30 minAll in all: Excellent value for money. Our group thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks so much John!

We were a family of six adults and four children aged 5 -10. The accommodation was fantastic for our long awaited family get together. With plenty of space to chill out and most importantly a wonderful swimming pool we all enjoyed our stay. There are lots of shops, cafes and restaurants within walking distance while beaches are a short car ride away. We enjoyed lots of activity away from the villa - beaches, zip wire, Bukit Elephant Sanctuary and the night market in old Rawai but always enjoyed coming back for a swim in the pool and a relax in the shade. John was a friendly and helpful host and the staff ensured that everything was clean and tidy on a daily basis.

We had a wonderful stay at John’s house and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the area.John was an excellent host—very friendly, responsive, and welcoming. He kindly met us on arrival and allowed us to check in earlier than the official check-in time, which we really appreciated.The house itself is really good. We were a group of 14 people, ranging in age from 4 to 48, and everyone had plenty of space and felt comfortable throughout our stay. The layout is perfect, with the kitchen, living room, and pool area all connected, making it easy for everyone to spend time together.The swimming pool was great and became one of our favorite places to relax. The neighborhood is also excellent, with shops, restaurants, and everything we needed within walking distance.Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Thank you, John, for your hospitality!

The villa was fanatastic and John was a great host. He was extremely helpful and always happy to answer any queries we had as soon as he could. We stayed as 3 families with young kids and they loved the two pools. It is also a very short walk to shops and restaurants which was fantastic. Thanks for a great stay.

It is hard to put into words our holiday in mountain view villas.what a stunning villa, beyond all our expectations.And what a host John is, very attentive and caring, including providing a large fridge full of beers, water soft drinks etcWe will definitely be returning, a proper oasis of calm, within the hussel and Bussel of Phuket

Staying at John’s place was amazing - we’ll be sure to come back!

Logement sublime, propre, extrêmement bien placé. Hôte accueillant, amical et de bons conseils. Arrivée flexibles John s’occupe de tout et répond rapidement. Je recommande à 100%. Merci John.

We had a great vacation with 16 of us for our parents 50th anniversary. The place was clean and spacious. Very close to all amenities the local food was amazing and the massages were incredible, we had one almost everyday. We were so grateful for the pool as the weather was very hot. Thank you for being such a helpful host John, I would love to come back one day 10 days was not long enough. We also had a catered dinner by Chef Selly it was out of this world delicious and so much food. Thank you all again

Beautiful quite villa. Spotlessly clean with a huge sparkling pool.John lives next door so can immediately help if there are any issues not that we had any. Two lovely ladies came in every day to clean, make beds and wash up. Perfect.Thank you John.Terry and Rose

We struck gold with John's place - it was a real gem! The house was sparkling clean, and John was always on hand to answer our questions. The daily cleaning and gardening services kept everything shipshape. And the location? Perfect! Private and peaceful, yet just a stone's throw from the action. We're already counting down the days until our next stay at Mountain View Villas!

A party of 6 adults and 4 young children had a great week in the Villa celebrating the New Year.The Villa is very large and we managed to fit all of us in the 5 bedrooms located in the house itself.The two swimming pools are large, with the smaller pool great for young children.The location is really good with a short walk to shops, restaurants etc.We used Chef Selly for a New Year’s Eve meal and the food is of the highest quality.John was a great host and provided transport back to the Airport.Strongly recommend people to stay there.

We travelled in a large family group with young children and elderly. Villa was lovely and clean. Shops very local to the villa. We had a lovely holiday

We had an amazing family stay at this villa. The home is spacious, spotless, and perfect for relaxing together. The pool area is incredible, the garden is peaceful, and the whole place feels private and well looked after. The location in Rawai worked great for us, close enough to everything but still quiet.John was a thoughtful and responsive host. He made check in simple, answered questions quickly, and genuinely cared that we were comfortable throughout our stay.Our family loved every day here. We would happily stay again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable place in Rawai.

John's Villa is a beautiful place. It catered to our needs and it is in a nice quiet location. Walkable and easy short rides to the nearest beach with more restaurants and things to do. Perfect property for family's and small groups. We would stay again if we were to visit Phuket again.

John was an excellent host. He was friendly, had recommendations, and goo response time to any questions. We had trouble with a few transportation vendors finding the villa but overall our group of 10 had a wonderful stay. The advanced grocery store run was very helpful!

Alles so wie beschrieben oder besser. Der Pool ist sehr gross, wunderbar.John is a gentleman und sehr vorkommend, hat unser Fragen immer beantwortet, gut informiert und uns geholfen.Ein Gentleman.

Wonderful stay - great villa for our family stay
