Reviews of Dhonkamana Stay 3 stars

Amazing customer service - we felt cared for! Jinnah showed us around the island on the first day, provided bicycles for us to use after, took us snorkeling to show us the turtles, setup and guided our manta tour, and more! Breakfast was good and large and the cleaning staff come in everyday to take care of the sand so the room is always comfortable. The bed and bathroom are also quite large. Thoddoo is a nice island, if I came back, I would stay here again.

Everything was great! Big and very clean room. The host was very friendly and helpful. We had a great time. Thank you ❤️

Everything was great 😊

The host takes great care of his guests - from the port pickup to your final day departure . Breakfast time is flexible but it never disappoints- try the coffee with coconut milk. Definitely try the dinner option if you like seafood, fresh fish and pasta. Bikes are provided free of charge and are a convenient way to explore the island. Snorkelling gear is also available in case you need it. Not to mention the kingsize bed which was really comfortable. Thank you Jinah for a wonderful stay!

I wish you were able to give more than five stars to show how great a place is. I greatly enjoyed my stay at Dhonkamana Stay. The rooms were lovely and we were greeted with a welcome drink and the most beautiful welcome message on the bed made with fresh grass and flowers. We were offered a free dinner because our speedboat got in late. The dinner was absolutely delicious! Breakfast every morning was also amazing (thank you, Jelly)!! The best part of the stay, however, was Jinah. He was so interesting to talk to and so incredibly helpful. I was having an issue with getting an extended visa and not only did he fill out the paperwork, but he assisted in having it approved, and organized a friend to pick me up in Male and take me to and from the passport office. So above and beyond what would be expected in terms of support and service! Outside from this amazing extra favor, we also got free bike rentals, a great tour of the island, and all of the advice we could want about the island of Thoddoo. If you were looking for a place to stay on the island, I could not recommend a better one. The room and property is beautiful, it is fairly centrally located in the village, and you will be very well cared for!

Jinah was an amazing host, he really couldn’t do enough for us. From the moment they greeted us at the pier we felt so welcome. He cooked dinner free of charge on our first night as we arrived late, took us snorkelling at the reef when I asked if there were turtles and gave us bikes to use for the duration of our stay so we could easily get around. The hotel was very clean and comfy and the breakfast portions were huge! It’s also in the middle of the island so very close to shops and restaurants. We loved it here and wish we could have stayed longer, hopefully we’ll be back one day!

The host is very welcoming and the staff very friendly. Everyone is very attentive to the needs of the guests. The bed is large and comfortable, and the room has all the necessary facilities. For those who are passionate about snorkeling, bicycles, goggles and swimming fins are provided free of charge. Also, upon request, dinner can be provided, which, between us, surpasses any restaurant on the island. Our stay at this accommodation was very relaxing and we highly recommend it to those who like to connect with locals on their vacations. Congratulations to Jinah and his team and we hope to see you again soon!

My wife and I had a great stay at Dhonkamana. Room very spacious with a very comfortable king size bed and a great bathroom. We enjoyed good breakfast and particularly great dinners with delicious foods, every evening with different fresh fish cooked in magnificent way. Bicycles available for free allowed to reach easily all places of island, bikini beaches too. A particular thanks to Jinnah, he has been very discreet and generous with information, he allowed us to have a great experience in Thoddoo. Thank you to Jinnah's helper as well, a very nice gentleman. I strongly suggest this house to everyone who wants to spend an outstanding holiday in the beautiful Thoddoo. It worths more than 10.

Great service level, Jinah and his team was very helpful and client oriented. Quiet location close to shops and restaurants.

Excellent service! A great host! Very clean & modern rooms! Extra Large bed! Bikes and snorkeling gear for free! Yummy breakfast & delicious dinner! We were surprised with a fantastic dinner the first evening! We also loved the fresh tuna steak prepared by the owner Ginh himself! If we come back to Thodoo we will stay here again :)

—- nothing that we did not like —-

The Guest House has everything you need for an unforgettable holiday. It's clean, close to an amazing beach, great food and services (free pick up from the Port, excursiones, free bikes, free beach equipment, ecc). Jinah (the owner) is a great person: friendly, kind and always taking care of his guests. He really let us feel like dreaming and living the real maldivian experience. The best host ever! Thank you again to all the dhonkamana staff, I really recommend this place and we hope to come back again! Antonio

Nothing, what do you want more? :)

This is a wonderful hotel, the best hotel on the island thanks to its owner Jinah who made every day of our stay special. It was very interesting to learn from Jinah about the cultural characteristics of the Maldivians. We even attended a local wedding. Thanks for an unforgettable vacation!!

The best guesthouse on the whole island! You feel there like at home. Bicycles and snorkeling equipment are provided for free. Jinah replied to my messages immediately and tried to fulfill all the wishes. We booked the room on the ground floor but he gave us the better room on the second floor with a balcony because it wasn’t occupied. We took breakfasts and dinners which were really heavy and delicious. During dinners huge shrimps or tuna were usually cooked and one day Jinah also took us to the beach to take a dinner over there. After our check-out the host kindly allowed us to keep using his snorkeling equipment and made us coffee with a dessert when we came there to talk to our friends. If there are free rooms in this place, don’t take long time and book them immediately. You won’t regret.

Everything was perfect.

A cozy private property, comfortably located in the middle of the island, 5 minutes max on a bicycle, available for free, to any beach. Jinah, the host, was incredibly friendly and helpful with everything I asked for including the food, which was delicious and well served. There is no posh restaurants or hotels on Toddoo, you may choose staying here if you are up to quiet vacation in natural surroundings.

Wow we have never stayed somewhere with this kind of hospitality. The kindest people you will ever meet!! We got absolutely spoilt by all the staff and could not have asked for a better stay on our honeymoon. We got a tour of the island first on the buggy so we knew where to go on our bikes the next day. The food is to die for, we had breakfast and dinner here everyday. Delicious fish, chicken with salad and vegetables. We even got treated to a candlelit rooftop dinner, we couldn’t believe the generosity. And that bed is absolutely massive! Thoddoo was one of our favourite islands on our trip it is just breathtaking. The bikes are provided as are snorkels, even the use of their go pro. We were the first Australian guests to stay here and we have recommended to all our friends back home. Communication was perfect, pickup and drop off to speedboat also. Would never stay anywhere else in Thoddoo, honestly we felt like royalty so very grateful. We just wish we had booked longer.
