We had a wonderful time at Hireath Island Home even though it rained for 2 days. We enjoyed the family room which had a terrace overlooking the sea which gave us plenty of space and privacy to enjoy our time. Everyone was very accommodating and very nice and our requests were met immediately. Unfortunately we were only there for 7 days and we would have liked to stay longer. Thanks again to all the staff at the Hireat and all the best, we would love to come back.

The property is very clean and cosy. Close to the bikini beach (overall the island is small and completely walkable). Breakfast was included and we also got to try the local Maldivian breakfast- all home cooked and clean. We had a buggy transportation for our luggage to & from the port and the property and they also helped us book the speedboat to Malé.They also greet you personally at the port to receive you 🙂 Ms. Aroo was the kindest host and organised our excursions as well as took care of giving us all the necessary information for the stay and trips. The excursions are managed by Gaadi Tours, which is exclusive to the home stay, so you get to do the trips only with the rest of the house guests- so it’s very comfortable. Gadi was a great guy who made us feel so much at ease with the open water swimming in deeper waters and we were mesmerised by the corals, swimming with the turtles, underwater water photography as well as visiting the beautiful sandbank during low tide. What a memorable experience for life ♥️ And lastly, Hassan who is the caretaker of the property was the most kindest soul who took care of your stay. It felt like we were staying with our family with all the warmth, kindness and attention. Highly recommend!

We loved the place!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to the Maldives. We have been to a few other resorts in the Maldives but this one is really special from the moment you arrive at the airport and threw all our stay. People are just so nice and attentive and they know about your needs even before you. Don't let me start about their restaurants, apart from the main one, the M6M (underwater restaurant) and the Traditions Indoceylon really swept us off our feet.

The hosts at Sunshine View are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They assisted us in booking water activities, escorted us to the meeting point, and patiently waited until we were on the boat. He efficiently accommodated our request to change the booked activity day. The location is not only good but also peaceful.

Very wonderful, excellent location, close to restaurants, services and cruises. Nahid, this receptionist, can facilitate everything for you, from booking trips, and also answering all inquiries and anything you need. I would like to extend a big thank you to Nahid because he helped us a lot, was cooperative, kind, smiling, and smiling all the time. Thank you very much, Nahid, for everything.

It was definitely good value for money, the location was clean and the staff always gentle, polite and helpful. The venue is still under construction and by the time it will be finished, it will be very nic. We can't wait to see how they'll arrange the front garden and maybe have breakfast there. As far as breakfast is concerned, I'd add some more fresh fruit, lactose free milk or oat milk. Freshly prepared homeletts are really tasty, but a bit too much if served every day.

Location close to everything while remaining calm and quiet. A/C in the room worked well. Reasonable price of the stay. Beach (not bikini friendly) is literally 100m away. It's a good place to stay at if you plan to stay out most of the days. However, our room was very dark and it doesn't give you the "Maldives holidays" vibe. Possibly higher floor rooms are better, but not sure.

Everything was fantastic. Location facing the sea and a minute walk from Bikini beach (tourist beach), the kindness of the owner and the employee who was very friendly and made us delicious breakfasts facing the sea, everything clean, air conditioning worked very well, the room had Views of the sea and you could hear the wonderful noise of the waves, very quiet to sleep, a fantastic place to stay. We would repeat.

We had a lovely stay at Pearlshine Retreat !! The guesthouse has a perfect location very close to the beach. The room was spacious and bright with a small but nice balcony. The best aspect of the place is the amazing staff which made our stay perfect. Jalil was super friendly and helpful in making sure that everything was good on our side. In addition, the excursions we did with them (3 in total) were fantastic! A big thank you to the whole staff and we hope to be back soon.

Full delight. The perfect place for a dream trip. Wonderful people running the facility. Helpful, friendly. If you dream of experiencing the local Maldives, Konut is the perfect place to stay. Being able to eat delicious local style food is a huge plus. The location on Guraidhoo the best possible. Beautiful island, wonderful beach, blue lagoon like from a catalog. We would definitely like to return in the future to spend even more time there!

The whole guesthouse was really chill and cozy. The Room was really nice and the owner is a very nice and helpful man! Really good vibe overall 👌🏼 Also the guesthouse had a kitchen where we could cook ourselves, and if you don't want to cook, there is amazing restaurant in max 1 min walk distance. They had the best food there that we have eaten on the whole trip to Maldives. The best place to stay!
