A beautiful stay made truly special by the kindness and care of the hosts.
Pros:

Beautiful stay in Thulusdhoo. The hotel is right by the beach, with big, comfortable rooms and a really nice outdoor lounge area where you can relax after a day in the sun.

What truly made the experience special though was the staff. Prashanth and Sakthi are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. They are always attentive, making sure you have everything you need and going out of their way to help. Their warmth and care really made the stay memorable.

I would happily come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Thulusdhoo.

Cons:

There’s nothing I didn’t like

Dé plek op Thulusdhoo voor een goede prijs
Pros:

Top verblijf gehad bij de Dhoadhi. De hosts zijn super, hielp je overal mee (vervoer van en naar het eiland; tours) en ontzettend aardig. De lounge is geweldig: het voelt als een open huiskamer, heel gezellig. Kamers ruim en schoon. En, het is 10 seconden lopen naar het strand.

Cons:

Niets

More hostel vibes than guest house.
Pros:

The location, just a street back from the bikini beach, was great and the smiley staff faultless in their greeting and customer service.

Cons:

I can't really understand the good reviews for this, given the price point. It looks good in photos but the room I stayed in (#7) while large, was really spartan and quite unappealing. There was little furniture, no bedside lights (just the big light and one quite random floor-level light) the double bed was just two singles pushed together (creating the dreaded gap in the middle) and the private outdoor space was very unappealing - a tiny balcony with a basic bench and rusty, noisy AC unit above it, which I did not feel safe sitting under. The bathroom was basic with limited hot water and no soap by the sink. Beach towels weren't provided and drying space was limited. It was ok, but overall, the finish and quality of this was far more 'hostel' than 'guesthouse', which was disappointing given the price point. I did also struggle to get timely responses to messages about booking the ferry transfer, which was a little stressful.

It's fine if the rate is rate, but we felt at $90 per room, per night, this was over priced. Fine if you get a hostel rate, but if you're looking for a bouji local guesthouse, there are far better options.

This accomodation is just what you need in Thulusdoo. The staff are friendly, kind and have good English. They organise
Pros:

Location, staff, overall clean and tidiness of the retreat, breakfast every morning.

Cons:

The rooms aren’t sound proof at all, we had a couple families staying at the same time as us and around 10pm every night they would make a large amount of unnecessary noise and banging and slamming of doors.

Pros:

Ничего

Cons:

Были крысы. Воду в номер на приносили, бумагу не давали. Пускали в отель посторонних людей. Уехали на сутки Раньше, но Деньги за оставшиеся дни не вернули. При этом еще потребовали деньги за экологический сбор отдельно им заплатить, хотя этот сбор был уже включен в стоимость проживания

Fabulous time in the MALDIVES
Pros:

Very nice spot, 50 meters from the beach where the surf is, the guys working there where amazing and helped us with everything from booking boats to and from the airport, to hiring a privateboat to bring us to snorkeling and surfing spots!
The area in the hotel is nice and shaded so you can do some work or read a book, for sun you can sit on the beach👌🏽

Buon soggiorno
Pros:

La struttura si trova molto centrale
Stile molto accogliente
La colazione varia ma giustamente locale
I ragazzi che servono e sono in reception molto carini e disponibili

Cons:

La camera sicuramente un po’ vecchiotta compreso il bagno che ha un odore di fogna ma nulla di grave
Le camere non vengono pulite solo se chiesto

Ein schöner Ort zum verweilen
Pros:

Sehr gut gelegen in 2. Reihe zum Strand.
Personal absolut hervorragend. Sehr hilfsbereit und immer verfügbar. Liebevoll eingerichtet.
Zimmer konnte immer gereinigt werden und die Gemeinschaftsräume wurden ebenso immer instand gehalten.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war Mengenmäßig leider sehr gering. Wenn auch lecker.
Aussendusche beim Zimmer nicht vorhanden!? Bett war etwas stockig und nicht ganz bequem.
