TL;DR
Theft complaints occasionally appear even for hotels, so check recent reviews on Trip.com and other booking sites before reserving. Choose a room with a safe and avoid leaving valuables unattended in a villa or bungalow.
Before booking, read the newest Trip.com reviews. Some individual properties had several reports of missing belongings even though most ratings were positive.
Do not assume a standard hotel room is automatically safer than a bungalow: theft complaints can also involve hotels. A room safe and recent reviews matter more than the accommodation type.
If booking a villa, ask about air conditioning and room condition. One villa setup was more comfortable because it had two AC units, while standard rooms had older equipment.
For older hotels, check reviews for recent renovation work. Guests have reported dated rooms and air conditioners, including stuffy conditions in the breakfast area.
