Had the best stay in Maafushi. The staff was very attentive and took the best care of us and helped us to organize trips. We especially loved the breakfast. Cleaning service available every day as well as fresh water 24/7 upon request. The staff organized speedboat transfer from the airport which ended up being cheaper than official prices. Also got the best money exchange rate from them. Would stay again!

This is a small boutique hotel, just 7 rooms, so bear in mind when breakfast is 7 to 9.30am then there will be limited breakfast options, no 24h reception, etc etc. So manage your expectation and you will be super pleased if you stay at Island Ambiance.

From the moment Raikib met us at the Island ferry and took our luggage to the minute we left, the team could not have done more to make our stay more enjoyable. The team were always a whatsapp away for any of our questions and also helped with explaining how things worked locally and recomendations. We stayed for 7 nights. The aircon was a bonus, especially every day was 32 degrees.

Nothing..

Thank you for a perfect stay. The hotel is small and modest, but everything was clean. Every day the guys asked us if we wanted clean towels (even for the beach) or clean up. Both guys were very nice and helpful. They pick you up at the marina upon arrival and go to see you off when you leave. Really perfect service. Thank you very much and maybe see you soon

We really enjoyed the hospitality offered by this small hotel. Rakib and Thufazzal are the gems of Maafushi, they took great care of us and are always concerned about our comfort in the island. The breakfast was wonderful, despite few choices they are wholesome and filling. We were offered a private fishing trip during one of the sunset. It was incredibly fun and probably our greatest experience in Maafushi. We look forward to return to this beautiful place.

There wasn’t really anything to dislike, the property isn’t high end, but it is clean and tidy. Remember it’s a small island and you can’t get away from the call of morning prayer.

The staff were so kind and helpful and the Maldivian breakfast was amazing. Shower gel and shampoo, loads of towels, including a beach one.

The limited choice of breakfast. But we did enjoy the Maldivian breakfast.

The staffs were great. Rakib especially was very attentive and helpful. Went out of his way to help us secure a boat back to the airport when we missed ours. The room and facilities were clean and comfortable.

I recently stayed at Island Ambience, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment I arrived. They made me feel genuinely welcome and went out of their way to ensure my stay was comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delightful—everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. What truly impressed me was how the staff asked if there was anything they could do to make it even better, showing their commitment to guest satisfaction. The apartment itself was spotless and exceptionally well-maintained. It was clear that cleanliness was a top priority, as the apartment was cleaned frequently during my stay, which made everything feel fresh and inviting. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Island Ambience to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay

Bathroom ventilation wasn't ideal (it's a tropical island which got humid some days). This was easy to forgive since everything else was so great.

The staff was fantastic - friendly, attentive and helpful. We were given free use of the hotel umbrellas to protect ourselves from the sun, as well as gear to go snorkeling. We tried the Maldivian breakfast which became our favorite meal of the day and was prepared by the sweetest chef. The hotel is also in the quiet part of the island, far from the hustle and bustle of the noisy touristy area, which we appreciated!

Great breakfast. We were also allowed to have breakfast early because we had a snorkeling trip. Also special requests for breakfast were possible. The room was clean, and we could always ask for cleaning and new towels if needed. New beach towels also available. Fresh water bottle every day. The best of the best in the room is the bed. Super comfortable! I habe never slept in such a comfortable bed before, not even in a resort. The location is away of the hustle and bustle of tourists but within walking distance of everything like shops, restaurants and bikini beach, just a few minute walk. Very nice hotel management and staff. Big thank you to the very nice guy who was responsible for breakfast. The hotel is very nice decorated and we always felt welcome.
