Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
18suite.com is a hospitality and direct-booking website for 18 Suite Villa in Kuta, Bali, presenting private pool villa accommodation, local experiences, dining, galleries, and guest contact options, with reservations encouraged through a promotional offer and WhatsApp customer support.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s hospitality presentation is not accompanied by page-level phishing, login, or malicious-behaviour indicators, and no brand impersonation or conflicting legal identities were identified. However, this benign presentation is materially outweighed by confirmed external security detections: the domain is blacklisted, with multiple security providers reporting malicious activity. The result is a critical sensitive-interaction risk; the website’s apparent accommodation purpose does not neutralize the external reputation contradiction.
- Security telemetry recorded 12 malicious and 2 suspicious detections among 19 evaluated results; three tier-one security providers flagged the domain.
- The domain is confirmed blacklisted by two external sources, while Google Safe Browsing recorded no malicious result.
- Domain registration records show creation on 2011-10-10 and an age of 14.87 years.
- Web-archive records show 86 snapshots from 2012-03-01 through 2026-02-07, spanning 15 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available site material identifies a villa accommodation business but does not establish an independently verified operating entity. The navigation includes About Us and Contact pages, yet no licensing authority or license number is presented in the supplied content. This is a regulatory and disclosure gap rather than, by itself, proof of fraud; nevertheless, combined with the confirmed external security warnings, it prevents reliance on the site’s own business presentation. The absence of a broker-dataset match provides no regulatory endorsement and should not be treated as one.
- The homepage and navigation describe villa accommodation, reservations, experiences, dining, and customer contact, but the supplied page content contains no named legal entity, licensing authority, or license number.
- Domain registration lists the registrar as HOSTINGER operations, UAB, with an expiry date of 2027-10-10.
- The site’s page-authority signal is in the mid range, and the homepage lacks detected structured data and a meta description.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an independent business or tourism registry should be used to confirm the operator’s legal name and authority to accept reservations for the property. Booking terms, cancellation conditions, payment ownership, and the final transaction destination should be validated through an independently sourced channel rather than relying solely on site-provided contact details. Any request for credentials, identity documents, or financial information should be deferred until those checks are complete.
- The site is classified as a landing and booking page with no detected login form or sensitive form.
- The booking interface promotes direct reservations and a discount code, creating a payment-related interaction that warrants independent validation.
- The site provides WhatsApp customer support as a contact route, which should be corroborated through an offline or independently sourced property channel.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical, with the site unsuitable for sensitive interaction on the available evidence. Its credible-looking accommodation content and established technical history do not overcome the confirmed external security contradiction or the lack of independently verified operator identity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is hosted directly on Hostinger infrastructure without a detected CDN or edge layer, and origin candidates are visible in the resolution data; this offers limited defensive mitigation. Transport encryption is present, but a domain-validation certificate confirms encryption rather than operator legitimacy.
- Served from AS47583, AS-HOSTINGER — Hostinger International Limited, CY; resolved IP 92.113.16.248 in UA.
- TLS certificate is DV, issued by YE2, valid to 2026-10-30T01:20:49+00:00.
- Infrastructure analysis identified 4 unique IPs, 0 edge IPs, and 4 likely origin IPs; no CDN was detected.
Closing Assessment
Sensitive actions, including credential submission, identity-document sharing, and payment, should not proceed unless independent operator and transaction verification produces authoritative confirmation.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about 18suite.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
