Bahaaru Villa Surf and Stay

スタッフがとても明るくて親切。

狭い。

Confortable & clean, this place makes you feel right at home. Diya is so helpful and welcoming! The property is a couple of minutes walk from the break it’s perfect. I had a lovely stay and will definitely come back.

We had an excellent stay. The room was very spacious, extremely clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The bathroom was also spacious, there was plenty of storage space for our belongings, and both the air conditioning and ceiling fan worked perfectly. The Wi-Fi was reliable throughout our stay, and the location was excellent. The breakfast was very good and complete, and the quality of the bed linens and towels was outstanding. Everything felt well cared for and in excellent condition. The highlight of our stay was the hospitality. Communication through WhatsApp was excellent, and the staff was attentive throughout our visit. In particular, Dia, who takes care of the accommodation, was incredibly kind and thoughtful. She constantly checked whether we needed anything and always made us feel welcome. Her warmth and dedication made our experience truly special and memorable.

The only issue we experienced was an unpleasant smell coming from the water when using the bathroom taps and shower. We informed the staff, and they explained that they are working on a solution, as it is an issue affecting the island in general rather than the property itself. Once this issue is resolved, the accommodation would be nearly perfect.

Diya es lo mejor del alojamiento.

La atención excelente

Nothing

The property was very dirty, and there was a bad smell coming from the bathroom water, which made the whole room smell unpleasant. The kitchen was also in very unsanitary condition. Moreover, we booked a room with windows, but the hosts gave us a room without any windows at all — it felt like a bunker where you could go crazy staying inside. Thankfully, Booking.com refunded our money, and we were able to book another nice place instead.

Never stayed at the hotel.

After i booked the stay, got a private message that they are fully booked even though it was showing available on the app.

The host is the most helpful host ever! Goes above and beyond to help with ferry transfers and any questions . The place itself is even more beautiful in real life! Amazing value for money , especially considering breakfast is included. The staff, Diya, made my stay unforgettable. She handled everything and was always attentive to eveyones needs. An amazing woman!

Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war sehr gut und er war sehr hilfsbereit bei der Organisation von Booten, Buggy und sehr flexibel bei kurzfristigen Planänderungen. Diya war ebenfalls sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich und hat sich vor Ort um alles gekümmert.

Das Leitungswasser hatte manchmal einen unangenehm Geruch. Die Maus in der Küche 😅

The proximity to the surf break and the restaurants , and the can do attitude of the staff

Nothing to dislike

Personalas tikrai malonus. Gal kiek trūko informacijos pateikimo,kai teiravausi prieš kelionę apie atvykimą nuo oro uosto iki salos. Apie viešąjį transportą , kuris 10 kartų pigesnis už privačius pervežėjus neužsiminė...

Kambarys be lango...Duše vanduo tikri dvokė... Garso izoliacijos visiškai nėra, atrodo visi gyventojai viename kambaryje. Ir pusryčiai. Užsakant nurodytą, kad pusryčiai itin gausūs, bet jei vienas keptas kiaušinis yra gausu...? Po pirmo ryto pusryčių atsisakėme, nes jie tikrai prasti...

We had a great stay at Bahaaru Villa Surf and Stay! Diya, the housekeeper, was very welcoming and immediately made us feel at home! Bahaaru Villa Surf and Stay is very close to Jail Breaks and only a short walk away from Bikini Beach. There are some local restaurants on the island that offer great dinner and lunch options. We had a very pleasant stay at Bahaaru Villa Surf and Stay and would book it again anytime. Thank you again, Diya and all the best!

They only offer the same continental breakfast every day. If you varied it a bit and offered Maledivian or Nepalese (as Diya is from Nepal) breakfast aswell, it would be great!

Diya (werkneemster van het guesthouse) maakt het verblijf geweldig. Ze is een lieve en zeer behulpzame meid en ontzettend harde werker. Het guesthouse doet gemoedelijk en familiair aan. Locatie is rustig en dichtbij bikini beach.

De kamers zijn gehorig.

Соотношение цена- качество. Отличная большая комната, отличная кровать и белье. За эту цену просто прекрасно. Тихо,уютно. Классные интаграмные велосипеды напрокат, маски и ласты.

Кухня уставшая. Но я не планировала ею пользоваться.

Clean and cozy, close to beach. Very friendly staff. - Breakfast was very basic, but its ok.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! If you book the room ,where you see the window male sure you get this room,because they have only 2 rooms with windows.We ended up having a room without any window...not in the room or in the bathroom.I suffer from claustrophobia.It was extremely hard for me to sleep like this..

The room without a window...

La gentillesse de Diya qui est une hôte adorable. L'emplacement, la propreté du lieu, les rangements et la mise à disposition d'un coffre. La facilité de communication et l'organisation pour venir par bateau. Je commande vivement cette guest house où je reviendrais avec grand plaisir, s'il y a de la place !

Le manque de fenêtre sur l'extérieur, L' odeur d égoût dans la salle de bain mais qui n'envahie pas trop la chambre. L' insonorisation un peu limite.

La chambre était propre et bien équipée. Le lit très confortable. Le personnel est très dévoué et agréable. On a bien aimé le petit déjeuner Merci

La gentillesse de Diya qui s'occupe très bien de cette guesthouse. Le confort des chambres (ventilateur, clim, coffre-fort, bon matelas, eau chaude). La tranquilité de l'endroit. La proximité de Malé, à 20 mn en fast boat (Naseeb Express). Petit déjeuner très correct.

2 chambres sur 4 n'ont pas de fenêtre et cela peut gêner certaines personnes. Même si le confort reste le même.

Diya was a very friendly host who went above and beyond. I was able to check in early, despite arriving late at ahead of check in Rooms were very spacious and property was very centrally located

The rooms wasn’t very sound proof - you could hear everything

Todo perfecto y el personal excelente!!

The hospitality

Nothing

Мы жилы 7 прекрасных дней нам понравилось. На велосипеде катались. Кровать мягкая. Дийя всё старалась.Нам на всём помогли. По остро- вам ездили. Экскурсии только дороже чем в Мафуши. Остров неплохой основном местные жители. Туристов не много.

Всё хорошо 👍

Bequemes Bett, schöner kleiner Garten

War schwierig, jemanden zu finden, den man ansprechen konnte. Keine Abholung oder Bringen vom Hafen.

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich sehr schön, sauber und modern. Wir haben uns hier schon wohlgefühlt! Das Frühstück war okay für drei Nächte (Ei, Würstchen, Toast, Marmelade, Saft). Das Personal war sehr nett, auch wenn Englisch noch ein bisschen schwierig ist.

Die Insel hat leider nicht wirklich viel zu bieten. Wir haben einen Schnorchelausflug gemacht (der war grandios!), aber ansonsten gibt es nicht wirklich etwas zu tun. Der Bikinistrand ist leider auch nicht so schön, wie der Burkini-Strand.

The host was very helpful through WhatsApp she was able to arrange a speedboat and other help. It's a small cozy guesthouse with lots of privacy. Very comfortable room and facility. A 2 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute walk to restaurants at the harbor. Overall a relaxing stay I had.

Es un guest house pequeñito muy acogedor y la habitacion es tal cual se ve en las fotos. Esta muy limpio todo y la verdad es que la atencion es increible tanto por parte de la anfitriona como de la chica que esta en el hotel trabajando. La anfitriona nos ayudo en todo momento con los horarios y reserva de los speed boats. Y tambien añadiria que te dan toallas de playa. Es un espacio perfecto para pasar unos dias en la isla.

The owner of the guesthouse and the woman who takes care of the guesthouse (Dia) were very nice. They provided me with all the information I needed.

The property is located in an area where there is a lot of construction and renovation. Lots of noise from workers every morning from 8:00AM. Hammer blows. One day there was a black snake in the yard of 80cm but they caught it and killed it.

Nagyon kedves Dyaa a staff. Kijött elénk a molóra ,bármire volt szúkségünk segített.Gyors és precíz egyszerűen tökéletes. Négy napig voltunk ,jól éreztük magunkat. Ajánlom!!!!

Struttura accogliente, l’isola è vicina a Malè e offre la possibilità di fare ogni tipo di escursione. Waseema ci ha aiutati con tutto, suggerimenti, consigli e indicazioni sui trasporti e prenotazioni dei ferry

Very clean and great host. Fantastic breakfast. Friendly island locals .

No complaints.

Highly recommended, we had a lovely stay! Thank you Diya for everything❤️

Maybe the Tuktuk transfer from the port to the accommodation could be included for free

Sehr sauber, jeden Tag Room Cleaning und Diya, die gute Seele der Villa Bahaaru ist super lieb und zuvorkommend.

Das Frühstück ist simpel aber voll ok.

Everything. Diya made our days so comfy and lovely. Also we met the owners and we felt like family. The location is perfect, 5 minutes to the port and restaurants and 5 to surf. Very clean (they clean the room everyday) and quiet. Room big with ac and fan and private toilet with towels, soap and shampoo. Outside amenities for eating and surfer (rack, shower, toilette).

Nothing

El alojamiento perfecto limpio y tranquilo. Lía se ha encargado de todo durante nuestra estancia estando disponible en todo momento y facilitándonos todas nuestras necesidades siempre con una sonrisa. El mejor sitio calidad precio de toda la isla.

Nada

The staff. Diya went all the way to assist in any way

Nothing

Una estancia excelente, muy por encima de lo esperado Todos los días limpiaban la habitación sin necesidad de pedirlo. La chica que lleva el alojamiento es súper atenta y lo tiene siempre impecable. Incluso un día nos sorprendió cocinando comida tradicional nepalí para todos los huéspedes. El trato fue excepcional, muy cercano y amable. Además, la relación calidad-precio del alojamiento es altísima. Repetiríamos sin dudarlo

Todos fue correcto

Todo bien

I had an amazing stay in Himmafushi! The owner and the hostess were incredibly kind and always willing to help with anything we needed, making us feel very welcome from the start. The room was spacious, bright, and very comfortable, with cozy beds that ensured a great night's sleep. The Wi-Fi was excellent as well, which allowed me to work without any issues. The location is unbeatable, it's the closest place to the Jailbreak surf spot and also very close to the harbor, which makes it the perfect choice whether you're here to surf or go scuba diving. I will definitely stay here again!

The place was super cozy, safe and very clean, It felt like a home away from home stay. Diya (the lady taking care of the guest) was what made the place special. She was helpful and very friendly.

Nothing. Everything was wonderful.

Very homely and clean, very close to everything, only a couple of minutes walk from the ferry and bikini beach

Nothing

Staff very helpful in arranging ferry, picking me up and taking me to the hotel. Hotel has other surfers which was fun to form a group, and outdoor showers and drying racks which made surfing convenient.

Juice and coffee at breakfast could be better.

I had an amazing two weeks at Bahaaru. It's a beautiful old villa in the centre of the island. The staff was super friendly and kind, and the owner very helpful. I would definitely come back here.

Nothing

One of the absolute highlights of our trip was staying here — everything was wonderful, but what truly made it special was Diya. The facilities were fantastic — clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. But beyond that, Diya was always there for us, attentive to every detail and making sure we had everything we needed. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine care made us feel right at home from the very first day. She's without a doubt the heart of this place — a truly special person who makes this accommodation unforgettable. The location is also perfect, just a short walk to the beach with amazing waves. We had delicious breakfasts every morning, and the sunsets were breathtaking. We were even lucky enough to see many manta rays — such a magical experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back! Thank you so much for everything, Diya. You made our stay truly exceptional. Sending you a big hug — we felt like part of the family! ❤️

I had the most wonderful stay at this charming little guesthouse! Though small, it was cozy, clean, and perfectly peaced. The best part was the incredible hospitality from Dia (staff), who took care of everything with a warm smile. Sarim (owner) was always in touch on-line arranging boat trips and helped with organizing transfers etc... If you're looking for an authentic, personal touch in the Maldives, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Local, comfortable, squeaky clean. Very hospitable and helpful hosts, too. Just around the corner from the harbour. Everything you need to enjoy and explore the wonderful Himmafushi.

A truly beautiful accommodation. You get exactly what you see in the pictures. The place is lovingly designed. Diyas friendliness and attentiveness make the stay a wonderful experience. If I’m ever back in Himmafushi, I will definitely return.

The room is impeccably clean, spacious, and inviting. Its prime location is just a short, scenic walk from the jetty. The host and staff go above and beyond, providing exceptional service with warmth and attentiveness

Nothing.

The Perfect room and the perfect house. Friendly and helpful staff.

The place was very simple, super clean and very relaxing

Nothing

Loved it , staff was amazing Villa owner was helpful !! Good value of money

It’s good ! I recommend staying here

Room size was good Amenities in the room were satisfactory

Would have appreciated if they can put an electric kettle in every room for heating water so that one do not have to go out of the room to get hot water There should be a closet in the room instead of an open wooden rack in the room for keeping the clothes

The calmness of the property, it is a great place to stay if you want to relax. We were also able to simply explore the beauty of himmafushi island thanks to their bicycle rental service.

Where do I even begin? Everything about our stay was absolutely amazing! Sarim, who manages the property, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. He organized our day trips, transport, and helped with anything we needed—his hospitality was truly unmatched. The island of Himmafushi is absolutely beautiful and offers so many activities like surfing, snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and more. The property itself was perfect for relaxing, with thoughtful touches like an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach and a cozy outdoor table for breakfast or chilling out. The rooms were clean, cozy, and equipped with AC, a comfortable bed, hot water showers, and a drinking water dispenser—everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfasts were a treat every morning, with a lovely spread of juice, water, coffee, eggs, sausage, bread with butter and jam, tuna, and more. Oh and the WIFI was very good which for me as a remote worker was crucial! I could do zoom Calls with video and no issues. Had uninterrupted internet access during my stay There are plenty of restaurants on the island to choose from, and there’s even a designated bikini beach where women can comfortably wear bikinis and relax. What really stood out to us was the affordability. Compared to other options, the accommodation was incredibly budget-friendly, and you can enjoy a delicious dinner on the island for as little as $3 per person. Sarim’s humble and welcoming nature truly made us feel at home. He was always willing to help and made sure we had everything we needed, which made our trip so much more special. Expert Tip: From Himmafushi, you can book a day trip to the Crossroads Island resorts and experience a bit of luxury without breaking the bank. We did this, and while it was a cool experience (meals there cost around $40), it also made us appreciate Himmafushi so much more. On Himmafushi, for just $4, you can eat like a king!

I can't complain honestly for the price it was so worth it, and felt like a very authentic experience

Villa owner Mr. Sarim is really a nice gentleman.He is a well guided and helpful person.

Nothing.

Everything was fine.

Lovely garden & nice staff they have also bikes to rent

The breakfast was the same every day, very very poor , omelette & horrible sausages ..and they charge us every espresso 2 euro 😞

The bed super comfortable

The location wasn’t close to the beach

There are some points for improvement for sure, but I’ll give a 10 cause they were extremely attentive and caring. But top 1, bed is really good, nice and comfort, nice pillows as well. Room is very nice and spacious. I ended up staying an extra night. Sarim was super helpful, giving me tips and suggestions. And Yohan a very nice guy, who served a perfect breakfast.

Hot water was an issue. They do have a water heater but it’s not on the main shower and no water pressure when in use. Water pressure you only get in cold shower, the water when hot, drips… so that was a bit uncomfortable… my room didn’t have a window, but on the pictures it did. The island is not the perfect place for tourists. There’s not much to do. Which isn’t their fault at all. It’s a very local island. It’s the island where the prison is, the rehab centers… so if you are looking for some local experience Himmafushi is the place.

I like the vibe it gives, very homey. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Right next to a mosque where we can hear the azan clearly. There are bicycles provided that can be rented to travel around the island and the breakfast is delicious.

Water pressure in the shower is inconsistent.

The owner was very helpful and you can tell that he cares a lot about his guests and his guesthouse. It is simple but very comfortable with a nice attention to detail :)

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Just the perfect place to stay if you are on Himmafushi. Next to the surf, good breakfast and great and clean facilities!

From the first moment of stepping into Bahaaru Villa it felt like home! Everything is super clean, cozy and the whole place has such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. My room was spacious with a super comfortable bed, A/C, fan, fast WiFi and international charging ports by the bed. The villa also has a kitchen and a little lounge area with a sofa and TV for guests to use. The delicious breakfast was served in the beautiful outdoor area and I especially loved the really good coffee! Yohan - the housekeeper - was very kind and always around in case anything was needed. The location of Bahaaru Villa is perfect, just a short walk from the speedboat, very close to all restaurants and very near to the famous Jailbreak surf spot and close to both dive centers on the island. There are also bicycles available for rent to explore the island. What made this stay truly exceptional for me were the hosts - Sarim gave me a very warm welcome to the island, showing me around, introducing me to other guests and going out of his way to help me with anything I needed. He and his wife are such kind-hearted people and their hospitality has been an absolute highlight of my trip. I stayed in Bahaaru Villa for 20 nights and would always go back. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Himmafushi!

I liked that Sarim took extra efforts to give me a variety of breakfast- he made sure i get brown bread and oats as I had requested. From receiving me from Male Jetty to taking me around the island and accompanying me for lunch as well, he was very proactive and I could not have asked for more as a solo traveller from India, on her first trip to Maldives. I also ended up extending it by another day. Sarim's wife had also spoken to me multiple times about small details I wanted to know- they were just best, could not have asked for more. It was nice to talk about their time and life in the Police.

The bathroom towels could have been better as they had something coming off them
