    That it’s a long way from Australia and we can’t visit more often.

    The property location and food was amazing. The managers were very welcoming, accomodating and super helpful. Chikaa, Julia and their staff made us feel at home and we will definitely coming back.

    It would be great to have a bigger bed (our double bed was 140cm wide I think and we slept with our daughter on it). It would be also nice if somebody would clean the beach (not only the garden) from rocks and water plants; however, I understand that it could be difficult to ensure this for a small guest house. It is good to mention that the standard (not ocean view rooms) have windows facing the corridor/reception only (inner rooms), so you have limited privacy; somebody can be OK with it, it is just to mention so that you know about it and choose the room, which you prefer. Otherwise, I loved it all!

    We loved our stay in Kahanbu Ocean View. It is a small guest house with only 4 rooms (two "ocean view" with garden/beach access and two inner rooms with windows to the corridor with reception). We had the ocean view room and most of our stay we were the only guests at the house enjoying the privacy and the great service. The room has direct access to the garden with sand, palms trees, hammocks. The garden ends at a very nice bikini beach with private sun beds for Kahanbu guests only. In from of the room is an outdoor shower and an outdoor toilette, which you can use when you are wet and dirty from sand from the beach - great! You have breakfast (including italian coffee) in the garden/beach in perfect shadow with the possibility to see dolphins from the beach. You can also order lunch or dinner (even private barbecue) with the guest house which is very tasty and also served there. Very romantic! Rashdu (receptionist and the cook) was amazing, helping us with any needs we had. He was very helpful, kind and flexible! Thank you, you made our holiday! There are hotels and other guest house when you walk the beach from Kahanbu, where you can also eat or have smoothie/mocktail/fresh coconut. Kahanbu has really a great position! The guest house can also organise a trip for you, although we did not use it for being unlucky with the weather and for having 2-years old daugher with us :). The island itself is very good choice, I think, the locals are very friendly and you really feel welcomed there. It was great to be there and I would like to go back immediately :).

    We had to leave and go home.

    I can’t recommend Kahanbu enough. Beautiful small guest house. 100m from the crowded tourist scene but a whole world away with its own quiet, beautiful beach, relaxed vibe and calm, stunning gardens. Perfect for snorkelling, swimming and perfect view on the surf at Chickens. Giulia was the perfect host and made us feel like part of the family.

    Absolutely loved staying at Kahanbu in Thulusdhoo! We stayed for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon and we did not want to leave. Guilia, Chika and Raju are the kindest people you’ll ever meet, they took us in as their own. And Jasmine is the cutest. Chika took us to a sandbank which we had to ourselves and we also all went to Asdhoo for the day. A beautiful deserted island with great snorkelling and we had fish for lunch that Chika caught! Chika also knew the best times for surfing and the best breaks, he took my husband out everyday for a surf. The fact that there are only 4 rooms means it will never be busy, pretty much a private bikini beach in front of you and you will be truly spoilt by the staff. We loved hanging in the hammock, having breakfast whilst watching the ocean or chatting over dinner. Raju cooked amazing food and always had a smile on his face. We were so glad we booked here and not one of the generic hotels. You won’t regret staying here!

    Everything was awesome, the staff are super friendly and brilliant we loved it. The hotel has an awesome beach could be the best in the island just nearby the Bikini beach where you will find all the activities in there. Also the food was great and big portion. Many thanks to the awesome Chika and Raju for everything.

    The facilities could be better... breakfast options needs to be added more...... and also room facilities need to be upgraded. Too much of mosquitoes all around in the villa... and also too much of flies..... so the breakfast at the beach .under the trees was not comfortable at all..... always had to keeping hitting at flies..... .. The AC in the bedroom was also taking time to cool up....No TV in the room.... no proper cupboards and storage facility provided..... the water running in the pipes are all salt water... which was difficult to brush.... plus very salty and sticky..... Lots of improvement needed..... In the evenings no music or entertainment provided for the guests......

    The location and surrounding and staff were nice....
