    Everything in this place was perfect. The room was very clean and spacious, but the best part of our stay was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It was really surprising. We missed one night because our flight was delayed and because of that we got free lunch and dinner on the second day of our stay. We were also invited for dinner on the first day. The food there was delicious. The staff helped us get to public ferry too, despite the fact that it was very very early. If we had had more time, we would have stayed there longer. For sure, if one day we are back to Maldives, we will visit this place again.

    Nothing special to mention! This is not our first time visiting the Maldives, but it’s our first time on Dhiffushi. So far, this island is our favorite among the seven local islands we’ve visited. Of course, we’re not comparing it to resorts, but sometimes local islands can be even more interesting than secluded resorts. We usually took speedboats, but this time, since we had extra time before our flight, we decided to try the public ferry—and it turned out to be a great experience. The trip to Malé took 2.5 hours, but it was quite comfortable and not tiring. If you're looking to save on transfer costs, this budget-friendly option is just $1.50 (22 MVR).

    Everything was great! The staff member at the briefing during check-in was extremely outgoing and friendly, offering pleasant bonuses, which was a delightful surprise. The room was spacious and clean, and the shower was convenient. Breakfast featured both local dishes and classic European options. We enjoyed the local dishes we tried, especially Tuna Kottu. You can also enjoy a delicious and reasonably priced lunch and dinner here. The location is perfect—right near the two best northern bikini beaches on the island. In comparison, the southern beaches are not as clean or comfortable as the northern ones. Add a photo with the beach veiw!

    A wonderful guesthouse with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, and we loved it so much that we extended our stay by another night. The owner even arranged an early morning speedboat for us to catch our flight—truly exceptional hospitality!

    We have been travelling for nearly two months and this is by far the best stay we have had since leaving the UK. The property, the location, the food and the staff were all fantastic, a real family feel to the place. On our first night, the hotel provided us with a complimentary dinner which was so lovely. They also hosted a delicious Maldivian buffet on another night, free of charge for all of the guests. The hotel also provide a free laundry service which was super handy! Whilst staying on the island we did a 3 day excursion booked through the hotel, which was very reasonably priced and great value for money. We had the best time and wanted to do it all over again! When we asked to extend our stay for an additional night, the owner very generously advised this would be free of charge, which we were so touched by. We also had to catch an early ferry on our departure from the island, meaning we would miss breakfast, one of the housekeepers very kindly packed us fruit and yogurts so that we did not go without - a thoughtful touch. We absolutely loved our stay and were sad to leave. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dhiffushi.

    I want to thank the staff for their kindness, generosity and care they put into my stay and others. I appreciate all the effort and hospitality thank you so much!!! The food was awesome and best prices. Free brekkie was amazing and the free welcome dinner was a nice surprise and tasty. The snorkelling deals were the best on the island and were fantastic. 🦈 Thank you so much for the amazing stay and all the facilities were incredible, like free coffee and tea all day, for the affordable price of my stay. Highly recommend!! Felt very safe as a female solo traveller too 😁😁🫶🏼🌴

    The place is magnificent, just 1 minute away from the most beautiful beach in Dhiffushi. Husam and the boys working there are amazing and go above and beyond to make your stay at Nirili Villa fantastic. There aren’t enough words to describe how highly I recommend this place. If I ever return to the Maldives, I will definitely stay here again.
