Should I ask the host for a screenshot of a speed test to ensure I can work remotely.

Yes, absolutely. If fast internet is critical for your remote work, you must message the villa host before booking and explicitly ask them to send a current screenshot of a speed test run specifically in the guest bedroom.

Also, explicitly ask if they have an SLT Fiber connection installed. Many villas advertise free wifi but rely on slow, shared 4G routers. A fiber connection guarantees you can handle video calls seamlessly.
