Reviews of Dive Villa Thoddoo 4 stars

Cozy place and nice staff .

Good place to stay !

I’ve enjoyed stayed here. Great location just few steps from harbor. Friendly and very helpful hosts, they organized transfer and suggested different tours. They have few free bikes which could be useful to look around the island, which are quite big in Maldivian perspective. On site they have a restaurant with very tasty fish dishes (but they have more). Breakfast is also delicious, every day were different options. On site there common rest area.

I had a room 9, which has poor sound proof, it’s under the restaurant and close to reception, so you would hear everything around, so better to request some other room.

The stay was truly delightful, offering excellent value for money. The on-site restaurant is exceptional, especially for seafood—it’s undoubtedly one of the best on the island. Every meal was a treat, and it’s a must-visit for anyone staying here. A special mention to the owners and local staff, whose kindness and hospitality made the experience even more memorable. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a seamless stay, assisting with inter-island transfers and arranging electric buggies to the beach whenever needed. Their dedication and warm welcome truly made us feel at home. The accommodation also features a charming little patio where you can relax and enjoy complimentary tea. It was a peaceful spot to unwind after a day of exploring the island and added a cozy, personal touch to the experience. The island itself is a paradise, with one of the best beaches in the Maldives and a breathtaking giant reef. I had read it was among the top beaches in the Maldives, and after experiencing it, I can wholeheartedly agree. Swimming and snorkeling here was like stepping into a dream. I’m incredibly grateful to the owners and team for such a wonderful experience and hope to return in the near future to relive the beauty of this place.

The island has a lot of mosquitoes, though this is not the fault of the accommodation. I recommend bringing a electric plug-in mosquito repellent like Bloom (it worked very well for me) and a plug adapter. The accommodation also provides liquid mosquito repellent, which is helpful. I would suggest bringing your own high-quality snorkeling gear.

When we arrived at Thoddoo, we were pleasantly surprised that the owner Rimma was already waiting for us at the harbor. She kindly greeted us with a welcome drink (a tropical coconut) and led us to the accommodation. It's located a one minute walk from the harbor. The reception and terrace area was beautiful. We stayed in a family room with everything we needed. They cleaned the room and changed our bedsheets and glasses of fresh water everyday. Rimma was very friendly and helpful! She recommended and borrowed us an effective mosquito repellent, provided us an umbrella, flipflops, snorkeling gear... The breakfast was different everyday and always delicious. From pancakes with fruit, to traditional maldivian mashuni. The Black Anchor restaurant is just above the rooms and they cook delicious meals! We had all our lunches and dinners there. Always fresh fish and great drinks. The staff was so friendly and nice. They also offer sea tours, but sadly we had no time to try it. Unforgettable experience!

I liked the Maldives itself more than the guest house. Good, but try to find a better option.

They tried to cheat me out of 10 dollars - a trifle, but not pleasant. Demanded to pay in cash, although it was indicated at the booking that it is possible to pay by bank transfer - I had to demand payment by card and finally did it.

the staff was amazing, helped us book speedboat roundtrip for 140$. location super close to ferry, great wifi and restaurant above the premises

we couldnt stay more :(
