If you are staying at a villa you must register at the local police station with your passport, and if you live here it has to be repeated every 2 months.
If you don't register and you have a problem , like an accident or robbery etc you will have an extra hassle you don't want and it will cost you around RP3.000.000 to make the problem go away. I know, it happened to me last year.
The fee is usually 20,000 but the villa should not charge the guest -it should be included in the rate.
If you don't wish to surrender your pisspot then the simple solution is to accompany the villa manager to the police station for registration.
