Batuta Maldives Surf View

Beach front, soft bed sheets, friendly staff.

Everything, great staff, location is amazing.

All perfect!

Lugar maravilhoso! Atendentes super educados e prestativos. Localização incrível! De frente para o melhor pico de surf ! Fui competir o mundial e foi sem Dúvidas o melhor lugar que poderia ficar !

Localização e limpeza

Tudo funciona da melhor maneira. Serviço, parte física, localização!

Proprio sulla bikini beach , ho amato pranzo e colazioni proprio sulla spiaggia , personale fantastico Hibraim una persona fantastica e super simpatico oltre che gentilissimo (parla molte lingue , anche italiano!) stanze spartane per chi non cerca grandi lussi, anche perché il vero lusso è fuori dalla finestra alle Maldive !

Abbiamo trascorso una settimana in questa guest house, La struttura è molto semplice così come le camere , ma è il suo bello perché si respira un clima di condivisione e autenticità, inoltre si trova direttamente sulla spiaggia, noi abbiamo sempre mangiato con i piedi nella sabbia, per altro sempre molto bene grazie al cuoco moussa, tutto lo staff si è mostrato gentile e attento in particolar modo Kamal . Un sincero grazie al proprietario Ibrahim, chiedete di lui, vi farà sentire a casa e …non vorrete più andar via !!! Noi ci torneremo

room is spacious, great location right in the middle of the bikini beach with access to the beach with sun-beds, stuff if very helpful and very nice. good breakfast.

La gentillesse du personnel et de l’ensemble des personnes que composent l’établissement. Les excursions (snorkeling) proposées par le manager

La salle de bain, la promiscuité avec les autres chambres

We booked one night and ended up staying 4. We then went to a neighbouring island and then decided to come back here. Everything about our stay was wonderful. It’s a great location, locally owned. Good food, clean and comfortable. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There is nothing I could fault. 100% recommend.

Wry helpful and right next to the beach.

I was bitten from something. I can’t really be critical of the hotel as I couldn’t see anything but it came from somewhere. May have been mosquito bites.

POSIZIONE ECCELLENTE, DI FRONTE AL MARE.

CAMERA MINIMAL, ALMENO QUELLA CHE MI HANNO ASSEGNATO. PRENOTATO E PAGATO PER 3 ADULTI, C'ERA UN LETTO MATRIMONIALE E UN MATERASSO A TERRA. LA BIANCHERIA DA CAMERA E DA SPIAGGIA L'HO TROVATA SEMPRE MACCHIATA

De locatie, het vriendelijke personeel

De (grootte van de) badkamer, ik moest douchen half boven de wc

Hlavne poloha priamo na pláži. K dispozícii plážové lehátka zadarmo. Raňajky síce dosť jednotvárne, ale chutné, dostačujúce aj s ovocím.

Location is perfect - right next to the sunrise bikini beach with private sunbeds. If you pick the right room - the morning view from it is amazing!

Hotel is quite dated and needs some serious renovation.

Sul mare è zona più movimentata dell’isola

Struttura vecchia e poco pulita

Super Lage, Hilfsbereitschaft, Freundlichkeit.

Hotelul este unul foarte dragut si simplu, mancarea exceptionala, personalul extrem de prietenos si dispus sa te ajute. Amplasarea direct pe plaja este principalul motiv pentru care l-am ales.

Mi-as fi dorit sa avem si un balcon, iar la baie nu exista nici cada nici cabina de dus, ar fi bine daca s-ar pune macar o perdea.

Food

I really enjoyed my stay at Batuta Maldives Surf View. Starting the day with breakfast right on the beach was perfect. They also have fresh coconuts available for a small fee and sun loungers directly at the beachfront, which makes relaxing very easy. ​I highly recommend booking the beachfront room with a sea view – it made the experience special! ​A huge thank you to Ibrahim for the great organization. The tours were well-planned, and he was even flexible enough to arrange a drop-off at Dhiffushi for me after a snorkeling trip. I would definitely recommend this place for its unique location and friendly vibe!

Compared to newer or more modern accommodations nearby, the price felt a bit high for the overall standard. ​I noticed significant price changes on Booking.com and realized there was no real advantage to booking early. This seems to be a general trend for the Maldives, but it made planning more difficult.

Nastanitev je direktno na bikini plaži. Manager Ibrahim vse pozna in tudi uredi. Res posebna pohvala zanj.

Niks

Alles,als je all inclusief boekt en je moet voor een cola of Sprite betalen dan is er iets goed mis. Voor mij is all inclusief dat je kan nemen wat je wilt,eten kon je 3 keer per dag maar wij hebben alleen 1 keer avond eten genomen en dat was ver onder de maat ,hadden ook maar 2 keuzes pfff. Foto's die jullie op je site hebben zijn 10 jaar oud denk ik,ze zijn al 7 jaar aan het bouwen vlak ernaast aan een appartementen complex. Wat overdag alleen maar hak en breekwerk opleverd. Dus zou graag een officiële klacht bij jullie willen neerleggen en foto's willen sturen over hoe het er werkelijk is. Ook een deel van het geld terug willen hebben want dit is een grote flater die jullie mensen voor schotelen. Mvg Wim van Leeuwen telefoon 0613402661

Good location, beach front. helpful staff

schedule of activities not available

Fanastic location, helpful staff, amazing view and good basic room.

Nice location, with the view on the ocean. Close to all the happening & restaurants. The guys on reception are very helpful.

Fantastic host who couldn’t do more to help us, arranged all transport and helped us directly onto the boats. Arranged good days out and the dinner was exceptional! Sunbeds were the comfiest on the whole beach. Would definitely be back!

Nothing!

Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Team. Lage direkt am Strand zu einem sehr guten Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis

Die Lage

Frühstück. Hab Lebensmittwlvergiftung bekommen wegen Frühstück. Und es ist das schlechtaussehense Hotel dort. Zu Überteuert!!!!

Great stay! Excellent service, friendly staff, tasty breakfast, and very convenient room service. The beachfront location is amazing. Highly recommended!

Lage direkt am Strand und sehr nettes Personal das uns bei allem (Ausflüge, Transfers zu anderen Inseln) weiter geholfen hat

Staff is really friendly and helpful, location is invaluable and the room was really nice and clean with a stunning view! And a few steps from the beach!

Staff is really friendly and helpful, location is invaluable and the room was really nice and clean with a stunning view and like a few steps from the beach

The accommodation faces the beach, with sunny beds and a table to enjoy your daily breakfast. The staff picked us up at the port and helped us take our surfboard bag up to the room for free. The daily cleaning is ok. Thanks for your hospitality on our first stop in the Maldives!

The accommodation requires a renovation and the addition of some stylish details.

Locatie is top. De (bad)kamer is ruim en schoon. Vriendelijk personeel

Het is aan onderhoud en vernieuwing toe. Het is echt oude meuk, prijs/kwaliteit verhouding klopt niet. Voor het zelfde geld heb je op de zelfde locatie veel mooiere hotels

The room with view was just perfect, location the best the staff always ready for u and super friendly I loved highly recommend

Glsimplenaffordablenaccommodstion and great super friendly staff. Outstanding service!

Location

Havia uma construção logo ao lado , até finalizar vai incomodar um pouco. Eu acho a ilha um paraíso porém os moradores precisam de alguma forma melhorar o assunto lixo e entulho . Se vc ficar próximo a parte da praia , uns 10% até é ok porém os resto da ilha é triste .

Lo staff fantastico, gentilissimo, e sempre pronto ad aiutarti per qualunque richiesta. Torneremo sicuramente

A lovely few days here, property is right on the bikini beach. Chairs and loungers to use on beach. Spacious room, comfy beds, good water pressure, nice breakfast included. Lovely staff that helped us out. The place is a little basic but doesn’t take away from our stay

The location was incredible. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. It was a lovely quaint little place to stay.

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Perfekte Lage direkt am Strand (Bikini-Beach) und trotzdem mitten im Ort. Leckeres Frühstück unter Palmen. Einfaches Zimmer mit Ventilator und Klimaanlage.

The room was very old and not very clean. The bathroom was so small and the paint was coming off the walls.

We paid full board for a Seaview room. Dont trust the pictures here, the hotel is run down, old and rusty. We got a standard room with no balconies or sea view. We paid for full board, but we ended up paying for all the drinks that came along at meal times. This place is a scam. And the exchange rate is 19mvr.

Great property. Fantastic location and really friendly.

Location on the beach front and has their own restaurant

Location was good and staff were nice.

It was more rundown than the pictures show, room was covered in bugs and didn’t feel clean. The door also didn’t properly shut and as two younger girls we didn’t feel safe.

The hotel is very well located at the bikini beach ⛱️. Excellent for snorkeling 😊. The staff were very helpful. The hotel is in need of some TLC, it looks rundown. The dining area is not too nice which is a shame because the location and views are truly fantastic. The room was very small but had everything we needed. If they work a bit in improving the communal areas the place will be amazing!!!

Distance from the beach

No soap in bathroom, unhelpful and disinterested staff, rough treatment of luggage causing something to come dislodged from a side pocket in my rucksack and be lost. Loud construction going on next door.

Really good location right on the beach front and excellent value for money. Room was clean and spacious. You can watch the sunrise right outside the door

There is a new hotel being built right beside it at the moment which did mean there was some noise during the day. Not a huge issue and there is plenty of space further down the beach if you want to escape the noise.

Property gives the insight of a home rather than a hotel , so feels like a home at a leisure place. I liked the sea facing room on 01st Floor .

Ground Rooms are not bit airy .

Staff was nice ! Room basic and the beach amazing

Always pay in dollars or by card, otherwise, if you pay with their currency, you will be charged more.

Upon arrival at the guesthouse, the staff asked us to pay extra taxes on top of the original amount shown on Booking.com. When we specifically asked for an explanation of why we had to pay these additional charges, which were not mentioned anywhere, they showed us the total with extra taxes handwritten on the receipt, despite the fact that the original booking clearly stated that taxes were already included in the price. Essentially, they use a lower price on Booking.com to appear competitive and then ask guests to pay GDS and local taxes that they should be covering themselves and that should already be included in the final bill. Very poor understanding of english and absolutely no customer service skills—their approach is simply 'pay or leave'. A friend of ours asked to add an extra person and she was charged $50 per night. She asked for something specific about it but was only pointed out $150 in total per 3 nights, no official extra person tariffs but only handwriting extra on the grand total bill, which is insane. Moreover, the staff barely understands english and the General Manager, who acts like he has nothing to do with the guesthouse, turned out to be the person in charge of everything running around. (Watch out for him even though he play cool and friendly). We agreed through, to do a boat excursion for 50$ on the second day, yet we ended up paying some unmentioned extra taxes on top of the original agreement. To cut the story short, they are used to getting away with extra charges as people on holiday don't want to drama and check the bills properly, they show no mercy, you either pay what they ask you for or you are left last minute without accommodation.

Perfect location staff were amazing always wearing a smile and the food was really tasty all cooked from fresh

Good location on bikini beach, they sent a buggy to meet me at the speed boat dock.

Really disappointed by Batuta. High price point and not the quality to match. I originally checked into a room filled with damp and the worlds most depressing window - after complaining I was moved to Batuta Inn which was nicer, but off the beach with no view and construction work happening nearby, so not what I had paid for. Everything seemed like hard work for the staff, as if I, as a paying guest, was an inconvenience.

Breakfast, beach front location. Room

Huge construction site next door with loud works 6 days per week 8am - 7pm

Ok, I'm going to address the improvements this hotel has done based on all the negative things I've seen in the reviews. First I will say that I have lived in Oman for 14 years, so I'm used to the common building standards of the region (especially in regard to bathroom type) and the challenges posed by high humidity. Here goes.... 1. The breakfasts were varied in some way every day, and we requested our eggs made different ways also. 2. We found no mold in our room. 3. The payment when off without a hitch with no overcharging, room-switching, or lack of awareness of said payment on arrival. 4. There were plenty of sun beds. We were always able to snag a couple at the beginning of the day German-style with our towels. 5. The staff were all helpful, from excursion arrangement to cash exchange (dollars to rufiya really helped one employee out). 6. Our windows had locks, and the aircon worked fine. 7. The bed had a nice duvet with a fluffy comforter inside. 8. There weren't umbrellas, but we prefer being under all the trees in front anyway. Better shade. 9. There were soaps and toilet paper on arrival. The room had even been cooled off with the aircon. 10. Reading about communication issues, I contacted them via WhatsApp (from their website) to be sure we would have a ride when we got off the boat. No trouble there. 11. We booked a room with a double bed and a sea view, and we got that room. The room next door to us, though, had two twins pushed together, so we would have been less happy in that room. 12. The shower was fine once you learned how to work it. There's a cold one for rinsing off, and there's one attached to a small water heater; we learned to adjust that heater's dial to the heat level we wanted about halfway through our stay. We really could have just asked.... 13. Our room was cleaned daily, and the towels changed.

Nothing. We wanted an affordable Maldives vacation on the beach with a sea view, and this hotel delivered. The faults mentioned in previous reviews were almost all addressed by the time we got there. We were happy enough, already used to issues like limited wifi and ever-present construction sites. We will be back. One tiny issue: if you eat at their restaurant, paying in US dollars costs you less than paying in MVR. None of the other restaurants nearby did that. The food was good, though, and we just used our card when that issue became apparent. It is worth noting that we got the best room there, probably. So just be sure what you're booking.

Perfect place to stay in Thulusdhoo, on the bikini beach ! Breakfast was slightly different each morning which was great and very tasty. The staff were very helpful at all times also

Nothing!

The hotel is located directly at the beach, thus perfect for your beach holidays! We stayed here two times: The first time we had a very nice room on the first floor and were happy with it. The second time we had a different room on the ground floor, which was less nice since it was wet, a bit mouldy and didn’t have enough hooks on the wall. Water dripped from the roof when it was raining which bothered us a lot because our stuff and bed got very wet. The staff is friendly. The transport to the harbor and back is very good! For maledives its rather cheap also. The breakfast is simple but okay.

The room on ground floor wasn’t very comfortable.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The constant noise of building work going on next door. Not their fault, but totally unbearable all the same.

+ Brreakfast with coffee and tea was great + super friendly (!) people and service, really liked it + pick up from port + prime location, directly at the beach!

- unfortunately very loud rooms, you can hear everything... - our room had no window, only a small one to the reception and a bathroom window to the kitchen(?), it constatnly smelled when the staff was cooking.. - bathroom pipe was clogged, resulted in excrements coming up, entire room smelled bad... - snorkeling gear that was available to the people who booked with the stay was very dirty and stowed upon a rusty fridge

The staff were brilliant! So helpful, and friendly. Honestly made me feel welcome. The beach is right outside the hotel, which is fab, and the beach is amazing!

The room was big, but it as very outdated, the bathroom was grubby and mouldy. There was a lot of noise from the lobby all night, which made it difficult to sleep. There is also construction going on next to the property, which goes on until around 9pm everyday. The works look like they should be finishing in a few months though.

It was on the sea front

Heavy Mould on the blinds in our room

The stuff is absoulutely amazing. All of them are very friendly and nice

Not all the rooms have a view and some of them got mold inside which is not very healty to stay in it

The room with sea view

Price of the food is expensive comparedd to other place around, we had no choice but to eat at nexus guest hoiuse as their price were reasonable

Everything

Everything

We had a breathtaking view from our sea view room. Staff memebers & owner were welcoming and helpful. Great sunbeds available for guests on the beach, right at your doorstep is the ocean and many water activities. We booked the turtle snorkel through them which was great.

A bit outdated building and rooms. It’s hard to keep damp out when it’s so close to the ocean, it’s understandable… but overall it was clean.

It is just in front of the beach and staff is friendly

The room is not so accurate, smells of mold but i guess most of properties are like this

Great location, great food, great staff, everything was perfect !

Perfect location, exceptional host!

Nothing

The breakfast each morning was adequate, what I did like was that we were given a set breakfast each day but it was not the same each day, nice variety.

I was in a room opening onto the kitchen and general work area, it didn’t bother me too much but others possibly. Totally understand it being low season and work needs to happen on building infrastructure so had to cop noise from next door . The staff very friendly and the chef specially made me wonderful tuna dishes from a fresh tuna I bought from a local fisherman.
