Reviews of Noorani Retreat Dhiffushi

I basically loved everything about the Guest House. The property was designed in a way which gives you the feel of luxurious at the same time the natural beauty of the Maldivian lifestyle. The place is quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a couple, family or a small group of people who want privacy and enjoy the natural beauty. The backyard of the guest house has an “undoalige” (a swing house which shows the tradition of Maldives), where you can have a prestigious time with your loved once. The rooms, backyard and the whole guest house were clean and hygienic. I highly recommend this guest house. One of the best stay in Dhiffushi so far.

To be honest there’s non. The owner of the property seemed extremely wonderful and the staff too. They made sure everything was going smooth and sound. The place is

Room was gorgeous, super comfy bed, nice bathroom, AC worked a treat. Courtyard is cute too! Location was great, super central and easy to get everywhere in 5 mins walk!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was stylish and very comfortable, and the bed was one of the best we’ve slept in during our trip. The location is perfect too, close to several beaches and nice restaurants within walking distance. The staff made the experience even better. The young man working there was incredibly friendly and always did his best to help us. The owner was also great – quick to reply to our messages and very helpful in arranging things for us. All in all, a wonderful place to stay and definitely one we would recommend.

Maybe add a chair to the room? :) so that you can sit in the room besides on the bed. The wifi wasn’t the best, but to be honest in general on the island the wifi isn’t the best.

Wonderful man running the place, very accommodating, beautiful room and amazing location. Highly recommend staying here

Loved the guest house. It was really clean and we had a comfortable stay. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

We loved everything about Noorani Retreat. The room was so modern, clean and comfortable. The man who worked at the hotel was the best. Made sure we were always happy and had everything we needed!! Would 100% recommend this property to everyone!!

Free toiletries wouldn’t go a miss :)

Location was good and bed was very comfortable. Staff was friendly and has potential. Decoration was nice.

We couldn’t lock out door it was broken. They said it was going to be fixed & it wasn’t during our stay. There was also a awful smell in the bathroom which come from the drains & lots of flies in the bathroom. Shower is also cold& pressure not good.

Friendly staff, clean room, nice location

No windows in the room.

This place was exactly what I envisaged as a Maldivian retreat. Nestled under trees, it provided a perfect shelter from heat after 11:00 and in the meantime it's 3 min walking to the west side beach in front of Stone Hotel. All it's very clean, the rooms are newly decorated beautiful and authentic, all was new from furniture to white crisp towels, bed sheets, bathroom fixtures. Hot water all the time and a very strong and stable WI-FI, which is something rare to find on Dhiffushi island, new AC. Adorable inner court with white sand and dimmed lights during evening. During my stay on New Years Eve period, there was complete silence in and around. Maisoon, the owner, has communicated fast and concise before arrival, he came to pick me up from harbor on my arrival (thank you once again!) and gave me all the tips about the island As I am a digital nomad, I want to return here for a 1 month, work remote from this place. My recommendations for Dhiffushi : Breakfast: you can go for continental for 9 USD at Itha or if you want buffet style and more expansive literally take 2 steps and go to Araamu Hotel Best dinner : Club Kaafu on the northern tip of the island, always great cusine, curries, fresh tuna on grill, prices in range of 10 USD portion. Tasty sri lankan style food at Crown Beach hotel, prices range 10 USD portion. I have tried many other food locations on the island, not good. Vegetables and fruits are expansive and for some reason majority of places will serve canned tuna rather than fresh. Best beach : the one in front of Stone Hotel, perfect water depth, snorkeling it's decent, amazing sunset Best transfer option : 45min speedboat, departs exactly in front of the arrival terminal at airport in Male, cost 25USD or 35USD depending who you book with. Better book your seat in advance. I wasn't aware of this fast option and I took the local Regional ferry from Male, the ferry that leaves at 14:30, time to get to Dhiffushi is 2,5-3h cost aprox 3USD

It was a really great place. Loved it there

+ Air conditioner + Friendly personal that met from ferry and help with my luggage + Room was clean

- No kettle/freezer in the room - No public kitchen (or maybe I just didn't find it) - Guitar is broken :(

very clean,comfortable bed,good facilities

the breakfasts could be better especially because we don't eat meat. A glass of fruit juice and a fruit would be good.

It was very convenient and simple for a group of 5 to travel for a weekend. Everything was organised and the staff were excellent in particular. All for a very affordable price.

The biggest asset is the owner. He will make your stay Wonderfull. However, rooms are fantastic, very clean with very comfortable bed, very nice bathroom with good shower. I also have to mention the staff, they are so caring, treating you like a royalty. The chef prepares best food on island. We did different trips Maisoon has offered us, and all of them were worth every penny. I don't know if there is a point of going anywhere else in Maldives, we had perfect stay. Thank you so much.

I did't expect much since the price was lower compared to other guesthouses on the island and some reviews but I was very surprised of how nice it actually was. The personal is polite, the room looks great and the courtyard is well maintained even if still in process of renovation. I'm sure the place will look even better when everything is finished and it is definitely a very good value for what you pay.
