Phuket service ratings

Rankings of 435 service companies on Phuket in 8 categories — real estate agencies, yacht charter companies, airport transfer companies, car rental companies, scooter rental shops, visa agencies, coworking spaces, dental clinics — scored with one published formula (version 2.2, from Oct 20, 2026) from five signals read by scripts on dated runs: the Google rating and the number of Google reviews (63,761 in all) as shown on October 10, 2026, the company's own website (reachability, languages, social links, an about page with an address), the Ahrefs Domain Rating of its domain, and the facts the site states (founding year, registration, the full requisites on one page, the registration number on the DBD register, licence, office, prices on the site, and for real estate agencies the size of the catalogue). 356 companies have the 5 reviews needed for a score. Yacht charter is the exception: from Oct 19, 2026 it is scored by version 3 — eight criteria a charter client checks before paying a deposit (licence number, baht prices, boats the company runs, years, languages, booking terms, plus the two Google criteria). No paid places, no editorial picks.

Real estate agencies: Layan Real Estate (89.0, 4.8 on 50 reviews); Yacht charter: Horizon Cruises Phuket (91.3, 5.0 on 33 reviews); Airport transfers: Unicorn Phuket Transfers (81.9, 4.9 on 74 reviews); Car rental: Drive Car Rental Phuket Airport (84.8, 4.8 on 2,104 reviews); Scooter rental: Bikago Scooter and Motorbike Rentals - Phuket (85.7, 4.9 on 478 reviews); Visa agencies: Thailand Privilege Visa - Long Stay Elite Visas (88.2, 4.9 on 92 reviews); Coworking spaces: BTC Space - Event Venue & Meeting Room สถานที่จัดงานและประชุม (81.4, 4.9 on 80 reviews); Dental clinics: Phuket Dental Signature Clinic (83.3, 4.7 on 146 reviews). Measured October 10, 2026.

No. The score has five components — Bayesian-adjusted Google rating, review volume on a log scale capped at 30 reviews, web presence, Ahrefs Domain Rating, facts stated on the company's own site (requisites, the DBD register, prices and the catalogue among them) — with fixed weights printed on the methodology page, and it is recomputed from the data on every build; nothing is typed in by hand and a fact that is not on the site counts as not found. Layan Real Estate, the agency founded by the publisher of this site, is declared on the methodology page, disclosed in prose on its category page and scored by the same formula from the same data as every other company — it is an ordinary row of the real estate table, at whatever place the numbers give. Google Maps lists that office twice (under its former name VillaCarte and under the new name), and the two declared profiles are merged into one row rather than counted twice; the rule is on the methodology page. The same formula applies to Horizon Cruises Phuket, which operates the yacht catalogue on this site and is ranked in the yacht charter category by the same version-3 formula as every other company there.

Use the form on this page or on the category page. Listings come from Google Maps, so a company needs a Google Business Profile; it is searched for by name on the next monthly run and listed if Google has it. Nothing is added by hand.
