Pros:

A quiet place, attentive staff, cleanliness, and proximity to the ocean. We had a wonderful time at this hotel. Shops and restaurants are close by, and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. We were given excursions, including swimming with sharks. They helped us from the moment we arrived until the very moment we left. We would happily come back!

Pros:

It was private and very clean. It was also located at the center of the island. Everything was a walking distance.

Cons:

Mosquitoes bite that can not be helped. It’s an island after all. They tried their best to shut doors, clean and spray the rooms.

Pros:

Rooms and bathrooms are clean, hosts are kind and helpful, and this island is perfect. They organise activities at comparatively low prices and help to take nice underwater videos. We saw a lot of nursesharks, mantas, dolphins and 5 whale sharks. Totally enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

Cons:

Nothing but perfect.

Pros:

Fabuloso! Desde el primer día hasta el último, una atención excelente! Les habíamos dicho en qué ferry llegábamos y vinieron a buscarnos al puerto (y el último día a despedirnos!).
Se puede hacer un snorkel increíble en la bikini beach (a 4' a pie del hotel, playa preciosa y con sombrilla y tumbonas para los huéspedes del hotel, un puntazo que no hay en otras islas), la excursión para ver el tiburón ballena con ellos super recomendada, lo dieron todo hasta conseguimos verlo! La comida genial, hasta nos prepararon una barbacoa la última noche, el personal muy servicial a todo momento. Siempre estuvieron a nuestra disposición ante cualquier duda que tuvimos.
Sin duda la proxima vez que vuelva a Mahibadhoo me quedaría con ellos

Amazing
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at Karankaa Villa. We arrived very early without notice but were welcomed very well and also they let us do a very late checkout as there were no other guests.

When we arrived he gave us very good information about where to snorkel and where to go. We did what he said and we saw two eagle rays!!

We went on a nurse shark excursion with the host that he arranged for us and we had plenty of time there (no rush). It was amazing. He took videos and photos for/of us and we had a great time! Also other excursions were possible and he sent us a photo with a list of them and their prices.

Also the breakfast is very generous, you won't be hungry afterwards :)

I also really liked the place, there is like an 'outdoor area' where we had a picnic and it is very cosy. We did not do it but they say that if the guests want, they can provide access to the kitchen.

I fully recommend this place and would love to come back.

Good backpacker choice!
Pros:

This accomodation has very nice breakfast/chill out zone with koi carp pond. We also could borrowed snorkel gear for free, very pleasant! We asked them to provide delicious Maldivian dinner during last night of our stay, way better than in local restaurants! Also, personal was very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Ceiling fan was quite loud. But it is no problem as it had a/c already. Some of electric sockets were not working properly, but some worked well.
