    Really good guest house in Maafushi managed by extremely kind and professional hosts. Mr. Shafeeq helped us everything from booking round trip transfers from Male airport to Maafushi, picked us and dropped us at the port ensuring no additional stress for us, helped us book excursions. The guesthouse was close to the main tourist point of the island i.e. the bikini beach (around 5 mins walking) and other important shopping streets, ATM, supermarkets etc.

    Nothing

    The hospitality by all the family members makes you feel very safe and comfortable. Mohammed helped us organise the few days we had in Maldives to maximise our available time with activities that fit our taste. Highly commendable.

    We booked the Sun Shine View because of the outstanding feedback. And we were very happy with our decision. We had an awesome experience. The hosts were going above and beyond to ensure we as their guests are happy. Even though we knew the way to the port, we were accompanied by one of the hosts to ensure that we join the correct boat trip without asking the staff. We truly appreciated the effort and the hospitality. Thanks so much for being our hosts. We hope to see you again.

    Im a big boy - The breakfast could be a bit bigger The property is locked during the night. You can go out or come back at that time but you have to wake up the owner. It would be better if everyone would have the room and property key.

    Location is great Mohamed( the owner), his wife and their son are really trying to help you and make you feel comfortable Good bed Very clean Rent the snorkeling equipment for free Great bathroom Fast reliable internet

    I have been traveling for over three weeks now, starting in Sri Lanka, and this was the best accommodation I’ve had! Mohamed was like the father I never had. He arranged all the tours for me, always dropping me off and picking me up wherever the tour ended. He was such a kind person, and his family is lovely. I truly felt happy and safe there.

    Had agreed to pay via card for activities organised by the host, but was not given the chance to do so, and then had to withdraw cash in MVR, and then was charged an extortionate USD MVR conversion rate, the host blamed this on the service providers but it could have been avoided if I was able to pay directly by card in USD as originally agreed with him. He also charged me the same exchange rate himself for the extra night I stayed.

    Great host, room was cleaned daily, central location

    The downstairs room has no external window or ventilation. It is a tight room for a couple, and quite claustrophobic. I think the experience would have been different with an upstairs room.

    The property is well located for a local island experience. The hosts are fantastic. They provide great support, ensuring that you always feel safe, and that all your booking needs are taken care of. They would walk us to the booking office, and meet us at the wharf when we arrived. Exceptional service and friendly supportive culture.
