The Good The first time I booked a villa through Top Villas was in November 2019. The booking went smooth and the accommodations were as advertised. The Bad In December 2019 I decided to book another villa with Top Villas. Again the booking was smooth. However, when I cancelled this booking at the last minute in March 2020 due to COVID-19 things changed. Repeated efforts over a three weeks period to have someone respond back about the possibility of a refund/rescheduling/travel voucher went unanswered despite being told that the person looking after the matter was working and would call back by days end. The Ugly Eventually, after three weeks of run-around I was advised by a Top Villas director that their hands were tied because the villa’s management company wasn’t willing to provide any consideration. When I asked if The Top Villas could directly provide any type of compensation the director said yes. However, when I followed up and asked for specifics communications again ended abruptly. Folks, without question The Top Villas has access to nice accommodations and their initial customer service (during normal times) was good. However, when an unprecedented world-wide pandemic arose the company’s true colours surfaced. Instead of trying to come to a satisfactory solution that worked for both sides The Top Villas avoided communications and hid behind standard operating policy. I guess in their eyes, why do anything more as they were already paid. That said, there is no doubt that COVID-19 has rocked the travel industry and it will be quite some time before things return to normal. While it will always be tempting to revisit Top Villas for future accommodations due to their inventory I don’t think they will be my first choice. Instead, I will search for a similar company that is more understanding and flexible. My suggestion.....do the same.
