    Ikram is a wonderful and most helpful host! The location is right on the beach where you can snorkel and see colourful fish. Also, it's a quieter corner of the beachside in Thulusdhoo. Make sure that you get the proper hotel registration upon arrival in Maldives to avoid issues. In all we had a wonderful time, and were sad to leave early.

    Facilities are a bit run down but understandable after the hit local tourism took in Covid.

    Ikram was the loveliest host - kind, helpful and attentive. The accommodation is fairly basic but had everything we needed. The beachfront location is great.

    The furniture in the hotel is old

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude to one of the hotel staff members, Ikram. I had read reviews about him before our arrival, and honestly, I was expecting good service, but he truly impressed me with his kindness and responsiveness. Ikram not only provided us with all the information about the hotel’s amenities but also organized our stay in the best possible way. His care for every guest is truly admirable, and it made our stay so much more comfortable. I would also like to mention the cleanliness — the bed linens were spotless and fresh. The location of the hotel is absolutely fantastic, everything was nearby, and we enjoyed not only the comfort of the hotel but also the beauty of the surroundings.

    The guesthouse has a great location and service. We stayed there for three nights and were pleasantly surprised by how wonderful it was. The sea view, included breakfast, beachfront location, and shared terrace, where you can get coffee, tea, or water 24/7, made it even better. The administrator, Ikram, is always nearby, ready to help with wise advice. I would stay here again on Thulusdhoo next time.

    Not really a Minus, but the Rooms are not very modern, a bit of Colour or Art would help - but since you're only gonna be in there to sleep, absolutely adequate and everything you need. Also has warm Water to shower, and if you want so, you can get a Hairdryer from the Reception. Since its not isolated you can hear People talk in the Evenings but also hear the Wind and the Sea - a big Plus again ;)

    Surf Deck is 10 Seconds from the Sea and Bikini Beach, so Location is more than great. Daily Breakfast was nice and my picky Wishes also got recognized :) Ikram is the nicest Host, who helped me with every Question, every Wish (earlier Breakfast because of Diving Schedules) and at all he is very lovely and welcoming without being invasive. Made me feel super comfortable as a Woman who travels alone :) Also, lots of Cats, so you will have a lot to pet. Will be back soon!

    I stayed with my husband, and we had a wonderful time. The location is one of the best in Thulushdoo, as the bikini beach is right in front of the hotel. Additionally, there is a local restaurant next to the hotel that serves amazing food. A big thanks to Ikram for his help since the beginning, before we arrived at the hotel. He organised everything to pick us up from the port and was incredibly kind and supportive, providing us with all the information we needed about tours and recommendations for things to do on the island, even he kept in touch with us to ensure we made it back home safely. 💜

    Sink was leaking but didn't bother us

    Staff is so friendly and the meals were AMAZING! Our power went out from a storm that rolled through. We text and they came right away in the middle of the night to fix it for us. Great location right on their own beach. Very calm vibe, felt safe the whole time, hot water and food, what else could you want? Transfers from speedboat to the room was right on time. Would definitely stay here again. Snorkeling right in front of the room and getting to watch the surfers. The room is very basic and not very spacious but was perfect for 2 adults.

    Humble and modest accommodation, but an amazing host

    Our room had a musty smell. One night, we found small cockroaches in the bathroom, but we know it’s a common thing in these countries and could handle it perfectly. At the time of our stay, an international surfing event was taking place right in front of the hostel, which prevented access to the beach in this area.

    Ikram is the best host you can get. He is kind, very professional and has a good heart. I cannot thank him enough, he made our stay better. Another very positive aspect was the fact that they reimbursed us for one night, since, due to bad weather conditions, we were unable to reach the island on the scheduled day. The breakfast combo is very good, delicious food and in sufficient quantities.

    If you're here to surf then the location and setup are unbeatable. Surf racks and showers in front of the hotel, one minute walk from Coke's break. Ikram the manager is excellent, very attentive and even helped me organize a dive trip. And the Maldivian breakfast is a nice bonus.

    Great for the price, so there is nothing to complain about :)

    Clean and beautiful beach at the doorstep. You can walk in a swimming suit/bikini straight from your room to the water and all the way to the bikini beach. Nice porch outside of the room. Next to a good and affordable beach bar with tasty food. Close to restaurants. The room is clean, simple, has a fan and air con. Ikram, a very friendly member of staff, was there whenever we needed any help with stuff like renting surf boards etc.
