Excellent location! The staff were all super friendly - special mention to saleem the manager and luba (water sports) who were both incredibly friendly and welcoming- superb hospitality. Right by the beach where all the excursions start, fab little restaurant and great hospitality. couldn’t recommend more :)

The place looked a bit outdated. In the showers there is work to be done and also the beds are really old and hard. We already slept in many different beds in Sri Lanka for 3 weeks, but these beds were really uncomfortable. The breakfast is a bit poor (no variation and very little fruit).

Luba (guide for all the activities) was the best! He helped us with the activities and although the weather wasn’t good enough for us to do the things we initially wanted to do, he did take us out on a octopus hunt. Luba was honest about what could and could not be done and a very friendly person. Thanks for your help Luba!

The light on the display of AC unit in the room was a little bright, If id remembered to pack some tape I could have temporarily covered it when sleeping.

Lovely guest house right next door to bikini beach and the water sports operators who could take you by speedboat to other surf break as well. Very helpful staff and fantastic value restaurant.

The facilities seem a bit old, but this wasn’t a problem for us.

We booked this guest house through Booking and loved every second there. The rooms are fairly simple, but the bed was comfortable, everything was very clean and it was pretty quiet. Our stay included breakfast, and for me as vegan barely had any options - but the staff were out of their way to make special sandwiches for me every day of our 6 day stay. The guest house is literally steps from the beach, providing beach towels, beach beds and snorkel gear with fins at no extra cost. We found the service really really friendly forthcoming and accommodating. If you’re looking for a good price-value in a stunning setting, you’ve found it ☺️

Rooms needs some renovation, I had huge stain on the ceiling, hangers were broken, fan in the ceiling in the bathroom was falling apart. Small things that could be quickly improved.

Perfect location next to bikini beach. Very friendly and helpful stuff, quite place. Good value for money, if some repairs would be done it's great spot.

The towels very old and looks very dirty, the bedsheets the same ... The bathroom not very nice..

The stuff nice & friendly & and the location very good just in front of the beach

Softer beds, but it is a matter of being able to import as the hotel grows. Maybe one more healthy option at the breakfast. Like oatmeal or more fruits or vegetables. (But again. Good for the price already!)

The room was nicely looking, quite new. The staff is absolutely great! Always smiling, friendly and want to help if any questions. They also helped to book a boat from the airport for 25 dollars and could also pick up or leave at the harbour for no cost if telling what time you’ll be arriving. The breakfast was ok! Apple, toast, egg, Nutella, butter, jam, sometimes pancakes, sponge cake or lokal dish. To improve maybe have one choice of healthier choice like oatmeal or more fruit but great as it is for the price!! The beach is just around the corner, 10 steps away. The beach is clean and connected to all beach front hotels. Absolutely loved the island. It’s bigger than Dhiffushi (close by island of you want to go to two islands), but lest turisty which I like. You still walk on the streets with locals. You have several bikini beaches to talk to but the best one is just 10 steps away. 20 min walk to the sun set beach. I’m traveling alone and as a woman I felt completely safe at the island also after dark. Sooo nice feeling. There are a lot of cheep excursions sold in the hotel or by the beach. Not much will disappoint and there is bang for the buck and they stay almost as long as you like, so just way when you want to leave or stay. Would love to come back!

Very close to the beach & diving center, also breakfast was fine

Stayed in August 2024

As some other people have already pointed out: the rooms, but especially the bathrooms are a bit in need of a renovation.

Not only the location right by the beach, but especially the welcoming and always helpful staff were my personal highlight! This was my first long-distance solo trip, but the people at Golhaaview made me feel at home from the get go.

Breakfast was simple not many options. Horrible coffee and orange juice mixed with water. Always boiled eggs and toast. They don’t offer variety of fruits, always orange. They dont do room service in case you request it and dont change bed linen.. we stay there for one week.

Very good located, next to the bikini beach. Bed comfortable. The girl who was working at the restaurant (Sandeli) very nice, always smiling and she works very hard. Food was good

Stayed in February 2024

The food/breakfast needs to have variation.

The staff and management are approachable and helpful. It is a good place to stay and relax.

Very pleasant stay, helpful staff, hotel located right on the bikini beach with free sunbeds and towels. Definitely recommend!

Didnt like the rap music (with horrible lyrics) that was being played during my meals at the restaurant. Also there was not much space to hang wet boardshorts, rash vests, swimmers. However, there was a drying rack available for all the rooms to share. Sometimes, there would be little water pressure on the hot water if other rooms were showering at same time.

Breakfast was standard continental. Would have been nice to be served some of the local breakfast. Location was great near the beach and was midway between Cokes surfspot and main shop area on the island. The restaurant downstairs was handy. Daily supply of drinking water. was good. There was also available a large dish to soak your foot if you had stepped on a sea urchin. The area around GolhaaView Inn was quite. Also had a massage service

Stayed in September 2023

What could be improved is the common area on the groundfloor. It could be made a bit more comfortable to have a place to hang out on a rainy day or in the evening

Good breakfast with a decent variety each day. Location was excellent, just a 20second walk to bikini beach and surfboat stands

Our stay here was simply wonderful. The location is perfect – just a few steps from the beautiful Bikini Beach, where you can always enjoy a relaxing swim in calm waters thanks to a protective wall that also acts like a reef. You can observe beautiful fish and other marine life both inside and outside this wall. The accommodation itself is great. The rooms are nicely furnished and clean. All the staff, including the owner, were incredibly friendly and helped us with everything – they answered all our questions and gave us lots of useful and interesting information. There’s also a watersports center right next door offering all kinds of activities. The food was really fantastic too. We had dinner there every night – the dishes were delicious and very reasonably priced. The curries especially were absolutely amazing! If we ever come back to Thulusdhoo, we’ll definitely stay here again.

Saleem is the best manager! I can highly recommend his hotel.

Stayed in March 2025

Room was extremely dirty. Actually I've never seen something like this in my entire life. We didn't expect luxurious hotel, as we were travelling on budget, but it should be at least clean! We trusted reviews on booking, which are great. Unfortunately, the room looked nothing like on photos. Our bedsheets were dirty, beach towels were dirty, there was no hand soap or hand towels in the bathroom. Said bathroom was so dirty that we were scared to use it. Tap in the bathroom was leaking, so If when I washed my hands, the whole bathroom floor was wet.

Location is great, staff was really helpful and kind.

Everything was amazing, we really enjoyed our stay in Golhaaview Inn. Everyone took care of us perfectly and especially Saleem, he helped us with everything that we needed.

The boss helped us with every single simple thing we needed. I really liked that the equipment for snorkel is free-rental if you stay here. The personal is kind and was helpful, they know their sea and they are very wise, they gave us vital information for our snorkel routes and where to spot some animals. The location is just a few meters from beach. The breakfast is simple but tasty.
