A lovely few days here, property is right on the bikini beach. Chairs and loungers to use on beach. Spacious room, comfy beds, good water pressure, nice breakfast included. Lovely staff that helped us out. The place is a little basic but doesn’t take away from our stay

The location is excellent. Right in front of the bikini beach and the surf breaks. The staff are all lovely. We also had lunch here twice and the food was so good! The manager was friendly and had a chat with us one morning and it was great as we learned about the Maldives tourism history. We would have given a higher rating but the bathroom we stayed in had a very bad smell throughout our stay. It's probably just due to the plumbing and the age of the room so we didn't mention it to the staff. This is something to consider when booking. Aside from the smell in the bathroom, we would definitely consider staying here again.

This was the friendliest stay I’ve ever had! The manager and staff were so helpful in everything, from storing bags, arranging surf rental and boats, to transportation. I felt like family, something I’ve never felt staying anywhere else. Oh, and the view and beach is incredible.

Nicht schließbare Fenster, nicht schallisoliert, es regnet rein, Feuchtigkeit an den Wänden, nach Kot und Urin stinkendes Zimmer, gelöcherte und schmutzige Handtücher, Lobby ähnelt einen Abstellraum mit schmutzigen Matratzen, die Lobbyeinrichtung ähnelt eher an Gartenmöbel aber schmutzig, der Whirlpool wie beschrieben fehlt, an der Klimaanlage läuft Flüssigkeit runter daher Vorsicht falls Handy oder Laptop auf die Kaputte Nachtkomode stellst, keine 24 Stunden Rezeption sondern lediglich ein Zettel an die Tür geklebt , Minibar fehlt, der Private Eingang ist kein privater Eingang , jeder der sein Zimmer in der 2 Etage hat muss dieses Gelände hochgehen, vorsicht bei Kindern weil diese durch das Geländer fallen können .Die Farbe an den Wänden geht durch die Feuchtigkeit ab, aufpassen keine Klamotten an den Ständer hängen oder Koffer dagegenstellen oder sonstiges, Bettwäsche schmutzig

Would not recommend

Nice team but we got sick from the food and it was raining the whole time. They were unable to book a transfer for us but didn't tell us, so we had to organise our own on arrival. One room smelt like effluent and had only 1 very very small window. We cut our stay short.

Un'alternativa alle Maldive per ricchi!!

Lo staff è davvero gentile, qualsiasi richiesta viene esaudita! La posizione è la migliore dell'isola a livello di mare e di quiete, oltretutto la guesthouse è una delle poche maldiviane, quindi anche se i bagni avrebbero bisogno di essere rinnovati, davvero felice di essere stata lì! Noi avevamo la pensione completa, il cuoco ascolta bene le richieste e ti accontenta! Come in tutte le guesthouse, l'alcol è vietato, ma diciamo che cenare praticamente in riva al mare, lo fa dimenticare!! Per chi come me e il mio ragazzo vuole godere dello splendore delle Maldive senza spendere troppo e soprattutto non a livello da ricchi con tutti gli sprechi che ne conseguono, questo è il posto giusto! L'isola e' abitata dalla gente del posto e si ha la possibile di entrare minimamente a contatto con loro! insomma lo consiglio assolutamente!

Great location and excellent food

We visited 5 different guest houses on 4 islands recently. This one definitely wins in location and food categories. Rooms are a bit out of date but that shouldn't be the reason to visit Maldives. Staff is really nice and helpful, food is delicious and location is excellent. Guest house is literally on the beach so when weather is nice you eat all your meals on the beach. Bikini beach is only 1 minute away. Bikini beach itself is very good for snorkeling. Nice reef and deep waters close to the coast. Special fence protect against water currents. There are people from who you can rent jet ski or buy extrusion directly on the beach (you can order any of these in guest house) and they also help inexperienced swimmers to go back to the beach if they can't do it themselves.

Terrible hotel with unacceptable service.

I sent them several emails to arrange the transfer boat for me and they ignored them. When I arrived Maldives, the receptionist helped me to call them, the guy in the phone said he would pick me up in male, but later I called him again it said the number is not used anymore. I booked it through expedia and it's nonrefundable. Later I heard this hotel is very bad and the island is not fun at all.

Hotel umile e accogliente, con un grande vantaggio rispetto a tutti gli altri anche dei più costosi, scendi le scale x uscire dalla camera e sei già in spiaggia..

Советуем!

Проживали 3 дня, на втором этаже. ПЛЮСЫ: первая линия! Вдоль моря расположено несколько отелей (подороже) и каждый день, в основном, Вы видите только туристов, да пару молодых местных жителей. На берегу есть пару гамаков, пару удобных мягких шезлонгов, два стола с диванчиками за которыми мы завтракали и любовались рассветом. Также есть терраса на крыше. На каждом этаже расположено несколько номеров + большой холл с ТВ. Есть горячая вода. Есть общий чайник, чай. Встретили/проводили на паром. МИНУСЫ: Очень пахло канализацией, всегда закрывали дверь в душ. Окна выходили на другой отель и занавеску было не поднять ( в номере была только 1 лампочка на потолке для освещения, зато тысяча выключателей). Шумный кондиционер. Звукоизоляции= ноль, наши соседи из Китая начинали кричать в 5 утра. Персонал пообещал узнать и организовать экскурсию на остров-ресорт, в итоге нас кормили "завтраками" и мы так никуда и не съездили (Договаривайтесь/организовывайте всё сразу! Не ждите пока они "узнают"). За 30$( 2 чел х 10$ + сборы) нас отвезли на соседний остров. P.S. В целом всё понравилось, на наши даты это было хорошее соотношение цены=качество. А главное первая линия с роскошными пальмами и видами! Пару магазинов и пару кафе.
