    The room is basic but has anything you need, is clean and literally 30m away from the beach. Hari is just the best person you can find: kind, cheerful, always ready to help and absolutely adorable. He was big plus for our stay, and we’d consider to go back if he’s still there!

    Some guests were smoking inside the property, definitely not nice if you’re eating or as first thing when you wake up in the morning. This has nothing to do with the property, just disrespectfulness of some people

    - The accommodation was close to the beach and Cokes surf spot - Harri, the employee, was very helpful and kind - The internet connection was good

    This place needs an honest review. See below some of my complaints and I also attached a few pictures: 3 pictures from the kitchen, which shows how "perfectly clean" it is 1 picture from the room, which shows the beautiful view towards a concrete wall, just 2 meters away 1 picture from the outside lounge area - The images presented in the property description are VERY misleading. - The facilities listed don't match the reality. - The high reviews are probably there because the staff asked for a 10 points review and the reviewers didn't really care to spend the time to write an honest review. - The single person room had a window towards a concrete wall and was much smaller than it looked in the pictures. Definitely not what was presented in the pictures. - The lounge area was not so nice. It's not a comfortable place to chill as presented in the pictures. - The pictures with the bar are NOT from this location. Probably, these are pictures from the Thulusdhoo "party boat" Then, the property facilities are not real. Let's analyze a few of them: - "Water sports facilities on site" - probably they mean that you can walk to the nearby surf spot? Or what water sports are we talking about? There is nothing like that "on site" - "Free toiletries" - there was hand soap and toilet paper in my room. Does that qualify? - "Bathtub" - What??? There was a shower, a toilet and a sink very close too the toilet. That's all. - "Beachfront" - No Way! The property is spread on 2 or 3 locations. One of them is 100m from the beach. Another is 300m away. - "Tea/Coffee maker" - There was an electric kettle and a can of instant coffee. But, be careful! You are only allowed two coffees per day :))) - "Board games/Puzzles" - I haven't seen any. Maybe there some, though.

    Property response:

    Dear Ovidiu, Thank you for your feedback, though we are disappointed by several false and misleading claims in your review. You booked a Budget Single Room at Surf Trip Maldives, and we provided exactly that in clean and proper condition. This is a budget guesthouse, and for the rate of USD 35 per night, it is unrealistic to expect facilities such as a bathtub or luxury amenities. Your booking was under a Room Only plan. Despite that, we offered 2 complimentary cups of tea/coffee daily as a kind gesture, not an obligation. It is unfortunate that instead of appreciating this, you complained about the number of cups. Complimentary items, by nature, are limited. Regarding kitchen access, this too was not part of your booking, but we allow guests to use it free of charge—something most hotels do not permit. Multiple guests use the shared kitchen, and we expect all guests to maintain cleanliness after use. Our staff cleans regularly, but it's not feasible to clean it after every use instantly. We also strongly object to your comment about our staff "begging" for reviews. This is false and unfair. Our team only requests honest feedback, and such comments harm their integrity without reason. Please choose your words more carefully in the future. On the bathtub issue, we acknowledge a past listing error, which has been corrected. No bathtub images were ever shown, and such a facility is not feasible in this price range. Thank you for pointing this out. Lastly, regarding the building, all rooms—including Budget Single Rooms—are in our own property buildings. You were not placed in any alternate or lower-standard location. Please base your review on the actual room and services you used. It appears your expectations were more in line with a 4-star resort, and we recommend booking accordingly in the future to avoid such misunderstandings. We at Surf Trip Maldives remain committed to delivering value, transparency, and respectful service to all our guests. Best regards, Management Team.

    Yes, it’s true – Hari is the heart and soul of this place. He’s helpful, kind, and always smiling. But let’s be honest – the property itself is not exactly a ‘9.5 on Booking.’ It’s a small, run-down place with rooms that have mold on the walls. The furnishings are simple but relatively clean. It’s a very basic spot for surfers – a no-frills backpacker surfhouse. The kitchen is a bit sticky, with an old tiny frying pan and two pots. But if you enjoy cooking and give Hari a smile, he’ll probably let you use it. That said, there’s something about this house. It has charm, despite everything, and the location is perfect – just 20 meters from the beach and 100 meters from Coke’s. It’s quiet, has working air conditioning, and decent Wi-Fi. So if you’re not too picky and don’t have high expectations, you’ll probably like it

    Property response:

    Dear Mr. Radoslaw, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your kind words about Hari – he is indeed the heart of our guesthouse and takes great pride in making every guest feel welcome and at home. That said, we’d like to address a few points mentioned in your review: We are a budget guesthouse, and we’re transparent about the services and facilities we offer. Within our price range, we strive to provide one of the best-value stays, especially considering our prime location just steps from the beach and popular surf spots. Our rooms are simple and clean, aimed at backpackers, surfers, and budget travelers who value affordability and authenticity over luxury. Regarding the mention of mold – we regularly maintain and inspect all our rooms, and no such complaints have been received from other guests. Had we been made aware during your stay, we would have addressed the issue immediately. We take cleanliness seriously and act promptly whenever maintenance is required. As for the kitchen – while use of the kitchen is not included in the booking, we allow guests to use it free of charge as a courtesy. Feedback on pots and pans is noted, though it’s worth mentioning that this is an added bonus, not a standard facility we promote. Finally, we’d like to clarify that our review rating is not a fluke. It’s the result of hard work, dedication, and the trust of over 200 guests who have stayed with us and appreciated the value we offer. While we respect your opinion, a couple of negative reviews won’t outweigh the positive experiences shared by so many of our valued guests. We thank you again for your feedback and wish you all the best in your future travels. Warm regards, Management Team
