Great stay iMaafushi. Comfortable room, clean and the owner Mr Shafeeq is the most helpful, from pick-up from the jetty, to arranging my tour. Will definitely recommend staying here.

“An absolutely wonderful place to stay.”
An absolutely wonderful place to stay. The owner is incredibly helpful and truly goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience. They also offer and arrange several activities for their guests. We booked a whale shark tour through them and were extremely satisfied — it was an unforgettable, dream-like experience. The rooms were clean, smelled fresh, and were cleaned daily if you wished. Highly recommended.

Our experience at this accommodation was excellent; everything was great from the very beginning. The place is comfortable, clean, and exactly as described. We would especially like to highlight the attention and kindness of the owner, who was always available, helped us at all times, and took care of everything to make our stay perfect. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back. Muchas gracias

The room was tidy but Shafeeq, the owner, was the best part of my stay: from pick-up at the port to check-out, he went above and beyond to help me plan my visit to the Maldives. I recommend it!

Everything was perfect!!! Especially the owner was extremely helpfull. He had arranged immidiately after booking the ferry to his hotel. He gave us clear information so that we could find it easily find our way to the ferry upon arrival in Male. He gave us extensive information about all thge excursions we could take. Furthermore he organsised th excursions in an outstanding way. After being injured he took us to the hospital and supported us. Because we forgot our vaccination book he has sent it by post after we have left the Maldives. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was more than adequate. In short outstanding!!

“Simple and cosy stay in a family environment”
I really liked the kindness of the owners who are running the guesthouse. They were very attentive and ready to help in any sense, from the moment I booked to the last trip back to the airport. They offered great excursions, all well planned and managed.

Review for Sunshine View, Maafushi: We had a wonderful stay at Sunshine View Maafushi – total value for money! The room was clean, air-conditioned, with a comfortable bed, a spotless bathroom, and a thoughtful drying rack on the balcony – perfect after beach time or water activities. Breakfast was homely, freshly prepared, and served with warmth – a lovely start to our island mornings. A special shoutout to Shafeeq bhai and his lovely wife, who are truly fabulous hosts. Shafeeq personally arranged our transfers to and from the airport, picked us up and dropped us at the Maafushi pier, and took care of all our excursions and water activities with great care. He even recommended some really good vegetarian restaurants, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is excellent – just a 5-minute walk to Bikini Beach and 2 minutes to the public beach. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Maafushi. Simple, comfortable, super clean, and exceptional hospitality – you get more than what you pay for!

Room was good and its like a home stay. Location is good. Hosts got us from the pier to room and dropped back at pier after checkout. They helped get a tour for half day.

“Could have been better.”
The guesthouse is run by a husband and wife, and communication with the owner was smooth and quick. The location is very convenient — just a 5-minute walk to the main jetty, beach, and many nearby shops and restaurants. The owner did provide us some tour options which was nice and the speed boat ride is shared which cost 15$ check the timings or coordinate with the owner as they will come to welcome you once you arrive which was lovely.
