Guest Reviews

• Guest (10/5): - Everything was absolutely perfect! The island is like paradise, the water is crystal clear and the atmosphere is so relaxing. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming and always helpful.
• nathalie (9/5): -
• Maurice (3/5): -
• Martina (10/5): -
• Vladimir1539 (9/5): - Great staff, very good choice of all food, nice beach (be aware of corals at some parts), good service at bars. Clean. Only 15min from airport. In the evening you see lights of neighbouring islands, so not full isolation but I did not mind.
• Deepti (9/5): - I travelled with my sister and we had an excellent stay. The staff is very kind and supportive. The ambience of the resort is really nice. Access to the ocean is great as well. Perfect place to slow down and unwind.
• Shakhnoza (1/5): - Персонал отзывчивый, близко к аэропорту Отель очень уставший и явно требует реновации. Полотенца старые, с неприятным запахом и даже с дырками. Территория неухоженная, повсюду чувствуется запах химии и прачечной, так как белье стирают прямо на территории отеля. Номера категории Garden очень старые. Нам поменяли два номера, но в обоих ощущался сильный запах туалета и сырости. Несмотря на низкий сезон и большое количество пустых вилл, отель не пошел навстречу и не сделал апгрейд. Из плюсов — вкусная еда и очень хорошее обслуживание в ресторане. Персонал ресторана действительно старается и оставил приятное впечатление.
• mohamed (10/5): - Profesionales de sector … todo ok El personal un 10 , sobre todo la recepcionista nouhaila Gracias por todo
• Domashnii (4/5): -
• Atina (8/5): -
• David Alfonso (10/5): Su personal muy amable, Wayan no tanto, pero en general todo muy bien. - El personal del restaurante y recepción muy atentos! Faltó un poco más de iluminación por las noches.
• Altaher (6/5): اقامة عادية - الهدوء وقربة من المطار فقط وصلت مبكرا وانتظرت اكتر من ثلاث ساعات في الاستقبال لاستلام الغرفه والخروج المتأخر يجب ان تدفع الساعه ب15 دولار الطعام غير متنوع بما يكفي لا يوجد أنشطه في ألجزيره حجزت حجز كامل ودفعت مسبقا وعند الوصول تم طلب دفع مبلغ إضافي ضرائب على الشخص 12 دولار في اليوم
• ibrahim (9/5): - Nature and greenery Villa with pool relaxation/quite place reception and quick transfer to hotel and back to airport Food variety Charging for transport despite being very close to airport
• Hadidi (7/5): Nice place and professional staff, but too much expensive for eating and drinking also hidden charges 72$ - Nice staff, responsive, and well connected with the customer requirements Extremely expensive, food is very expensive in the restaurant, hidden charges 72$ green taxes was not mentioned before.
• Johnboy (9/5): - Quality pleasant stay....pool villa amazing Bluu bar staff could be more alert...
• Nadhan (9/5): - Staff' were polite and very supportive especially Subha , Rabbi and all the staff in Maaga restaurant . Excellent food. Garden furniture need updating. Bedding hygiene need improvement. Bathroom drainage was blocked, it took over an hour to drain after every shower. Blood stain on the bedding quilt.
• Alessandro (9/5): -
• Mathisha (10/5): - Das Schnorcheln hat mir am besten gefallen❤️ Das Personal war mega freundlich, wir haben es sehr genossen. Die Bar war sehr schön, dass sie kurzfristig movie night gestrichen haben damit wir nochmal karaoke singen können. War richtig cool 🙈 Danke viel mal , wir kommen wieder -
• Kateryna (10/5): Amazing stay - The hotel personnel is very professional, kind, approachable. Thank you to restaurant personnel, they were always greeting with a smile, had a small talks with us, we didn’t need to approach them - they were approaching us. Thank you to cleaning team. One day we were chilling on a terrace, while we had “do not disturb “ on our room, the guy approached us asking if we need anything, we didn’t at that moment. By the evening, he placed us clean towels on a chair, toilet paper, toothbrush. They are paying attention to all details, which makes your stay very comfortable. After Malahini we had reservation in Male, and Malahini got in touch with them to arrange our arrival time to Male so next hotel can pick us up from airport. The food was really delicious. We stayed 7 nights, HB. Every dinner you have new variations of dishes. The breakfast is pretty same but you have everything: porridge, different types of eggs, fruits, vegetables, sweets. Everything was perfect. 1.It’s not about property however I believe would be better if the hotel would not allow to smoke on a beach. People are smoking and disposing cigarettes on a sand. 2. It was a confusion for me, while I booked this say, I saw that I have an offer saying that for stays from 1st May with more than 3 nights, the boat will be for free. However, we stayed 7 nights from 30.04 and we didn’t get it for free.
• Shawn (9/5): Service staff Swati and Ali made our dining experience exceptional, very well done to the team. - Beautiful and very hospitable service. Snorkelling with the stingrays.
• Aliou (10/5): -
• Matsvei (8/5): -
• Mohammad (2/5): Let me upgrade my stay with dinner or lunch - Nice arrangement cake for our honeymoon and my wife birthday I would like to express my disappointment regarding my stay at your resort. To be honest, I regret booking a three-night stay and would have preferred to limit it to just one night if the conditions had been clearly communicated beforehand. Given my experience, I would not consider returning in the future. The main concern was the beach conditions. The beach was not suitable for swimming or snorkeling, as it was full of rocks specially cant get access to snorkeling tools. Additionally, it was surprising that all swimming and safety equipment, including snorkeling gear, were chargeable. As a guest staying on the island, I expected at least some basic activities or equipment—such as snorkeling gear—to be provided on a complimentary basis. Charging for every small necessity significantly affected the overall experience. Furthermore, the breakfast offering was quite limited and not sufficient to sustain a full day, which is another area that requires improvement. Another point of concern is that these details were not clearly explained prior to booking. Had I been aware of the additional costs for basic amenities and the limited inclusions, I would have opted for an all-inclusive package or reconsidered my stay altogether. Staying on an à la carte basis turned out to be unexpectedly expensive, especially for food and essential activities. On a positive note, I would like to sincerely thank your staff for their kindness and effort in arranging a complimentary cake for my wife’s birthday and our honeymoon. This gesture was truly appreciated and reflects well on your team. In addition, I would appreciate it if you could kindly advise whether it is possible to upgrade our booking to include lunch or dinner for the remainder of our stay at a reasonable rate. This would help improve our overall experience. I hope you take this feedback seriously and consider improvements for future guests.
• Monple (10/5): AMAZING, Relaxing, Beautiful - I got the deluxe room and then upgraded to a pool villa for the last night. The staff are amazing, the food was amazing, the property is amazing, if you can’t swim that’s fine you can stand at the pier and watch all the fishes, turtles, eagle rays, reef sharks it was just fantastic. in the deluxe room there’s a huge shower head on top and a very small faucet for your feet, as someone with textured hair i didn’t need to wash my hair everyday so it was a bit of an inconvenience. I also was not a fan of someone messaging me from their personal number instead of a company number but they explained that some guests have requested it as they want to feel more connected which is totally fair for those guest. Two the two workers in the buffet area, yall are amazing i apologise for not remembering your name but yall made my birthday trip special and To the receptionist who offered me the upgrade (paid) and basically did my tour for the deluxe room you were amazing (she asked for a shoutout but i forgot her name) Subha i think i apologise if its wrong or misspelt but 10/10 customers service and hospitality. i wish i could add more pictures because there’s 50 million beautiful pictures of this location. As a young solo female traveler i loved this place. 6 amazing nights plus an extra amazing day
• Stanislav (10/5): - Možnost šnorchlování a půjčení ploutví, čisté pláže a vše udržované, usměvavý personál, dobré jidlo i dobrý výběr. Pitná voda k dispozici zdarma, překvapení od hotelu k líbánkám. Domluvení transportu do dalšího ubytování. Celkový dojem velmi dobrý. Pokoj je malý a špatně větraný, výlety dost drahé
• Marion (9/5): Séjour exceptionnel pour notre voyage de noces ! Merci mille fois à l’hôtel Malahini Kuda Bandos et à tout le staff qui - Premier voyage aux Maldives avec ma femme dans le cadre de notre voyage de noces, nous avons jeté notre dévolu sur l’hôtel Malahini Kuda Bandos pour une durée de 1 semaine en formule All Inclusive/tout compris ! Ce fut un séjour incroyable, la chambre (villa sur plage) était magnifique, très propre, spacieuse, plutôt bien équipée avec accès extérieur à notre piscine privée et jacuzzi, salle de bain sublime en extérieur histoire d’être totalement dépaysés. Le ménage était fait très régulièrement. L’île est très jolie, avec beaucoup de verdure, des animaux en libertés qui se baladent avec nous (poules d’eau / geckos / chauves-souris et d’autres oiseaux), de belles plages de sable fin et blancs, une eau turquoise et cristalline. Un accès direct à un magnifique coucher de soleil tous les soirs. Niveau repas, alors là rien à dire ! Sous forme de buffet compris dans notre formule All inclusive, les plats sont très variés et on trouve toujours son bonheur ! Pas de panique les plats ne sont pas les mêmes entre le midi et le soir, de plus, ils font souvent des soirées à thème, nous avons eu mexicain par exemple. C’était délicieux et nous avons pris un peu de poids, c’est dire… mention spéciale à leur steak de thon…. ! Divin. Nous avons tout de même profité d’un dîner en amoureux au coucher de soleil sur la plage sous des voilages avec un cœur lumineux creusé dans le sable (prestation en sus) au sein du restaurant Bluu. Pour les couples, je vous le recommande fortement ! Super expérience. Côté excursion, nous avons fait le snorkeling avec les tortues de mer et la visite d’un sandbank, cela a durée 3 heures dont 1 heure de bateau (30 min par trajet). Super expérience, la vidéo était également compris dans l’offre, effectué par le guide qui se baigne avec nous. Par chance, nous avons pu croiser aussi des requins. Pour conclure, super séjour, très bon hôtel qui allie confort et nature. Foncez sans aucune crainte ! Très très peu de choses qui rendraient cet établissement parfait, néanmoins voici les points que nous avons noté : - Tarifs excessifs des excursions et des repas à la carte (350 dollars pur deux pour le snorkeling avec les tortues, je trouve cela un peu exagéré pour prendre un bateau et nager avec des masques et des tubas.. cela n’empêche pas que c’était top et que nous ne regrettons pas de l’avoir fait ! / 250 dollars le repas pour deux (hors boissons) sur la plage, pas donné non plus.. réviser les prix un peu à la baisse pousserait plus la clientèle à en profiter sans nul doute !) - Mise à disposition des chambres à 14h, c’est tard, nous sommes arrivés à 8h le matin, nous étions donc sans chambre pendant 6 heures… 12h serait peut être plus sympa. - Je ne sais pas si l’hôtel peut y faire quelque chose mais il y a quand même pas mal de pierres dans l’eau côté plage, ce n’est pas des plus agréable pour nager. - Côté restaurant, s’il vous plait, mettez les desserts au frais de type mousse, fruits, shooter de fruits etc !! C’est le seul bémol…
• Abdelaziz (10/5): -
• Gabriela (6/5): Do not recommend! Staff through rubbish in the sea. - Location and quality of the Villa - Check in: I had receive an offer from Booking via email with $50USD for the speedboat. Email doesn’t say when the offer starts and I was told it wasn’t applicable to my stay even arriving on 24 April. - All inclusive package is very limited and doesn’t include most of the drinks. - Food: totally disappointing - The Worse: seeing the staff get into a boat to through rubbish in the ocean just very few meters from the island. When snorkeling we could see rubbish in the water. This was the most disappointing snorkeling ever.
• Sven (6/5): Für 1-2 Nächte ist es wirklich ideal und gut. Für einen längeren Urlaub würde ich das keinem Empfehlen. Hier gibt es deu - Wir waren für eine Nacht auf der Insel, zur Überbrückung für den späten Rückflug an Folgetag. Das Hotel ist 15 Minuten mit dem Speedboat entfernt und daher ideal dafür. Das Zimmer war Modern, Personal freundlich und das Frühstück ansprechend. - der Sandstrand endet direkt auf dem Riffdach. Im Meer „baden“ ist schwierig. - idyllisch ist das Hotel nicht, da direkt vor Male Stadt. Den ganzen Tag Flugzeuge, Speedboats und Aussicht auf Male. - die „a la card“ Restaurants sind lächerlich. Wir waren am Abend die einzigen Gäste und das Essen kommt aus der Küche vom normalen Main Restaurant. Der Kellner war eigentlich in der Bar und hat uns nebenher mit „bedient“ und entsprechend nur sporadisch greifbar. - Preis/Leistung passt überhaupt nicht. Man will ein 5* Resort sein, ist es aber nicht.
• Anastasiia (10/5): - My son and I had an unforgettable stay in the Maldives at Malahini Kuda Bandos, and we would love to share our impressions. This island is a true paradise: soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and an incredibly cozy and peaceful atmosphere. Here, you feel completely disconnected from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and fully immersed in harmony with nature. The island is well-maintained, compact, and very beautiful—perfect for both a relaxing getaway and quality family time. We stayed in the largest villa with a jacuzzi and a private pool, and it was absolutely worth it. We did not regret spending the money for a second, as it made our vacation truly unforgettable and added an extra level of comfort and luxury to our stay. We would especially like to highlight the work of the entire hotel team—these are people who truly make your stay special. At the reception, we were always greeted with a smile and a willingness to help, but we would like to give special thanks to the administrator Aizat for her attentiveness, kindness, and genuine care for guests. Thanks to her, we felt truly welcome and valued. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the housekeeping staff, Rabbi and Adam. Their work was impeccable: our room was always perfectly clean, everything neat and handled with great attention to detail. It was always a pleasure to return to such a cozy and comfortable environment after a full day. Overall, Malahini Kuda Bandos left us with only the warmest and most wonderful memories. It is a place we would love to return to. Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful vacation!
• Ahmed (9/5): -
• Hilal (1/5): - The location and the island was amazing The reservation staff were extremely unhelpful.
• Ali (8/5): -
• Evelina (10/5): -
• Luca (9/5): Rilassante e Rigenerante - La spiaggia paradisiaca, anche per lo snorkeling. La nostra villa con piscina veramente bellissima da struttura. Cibo molto buono e vario, prevalenza di piatti asiatici. Forse un po’ troppe formiche e zanzare che “rovinavano” un po l’atmosfera. Ma siamo su un isola delle Maldive quindi è abbastanza normale.
• ALEKSEI (8/5): Sunset beach villa with pool не имеет прямого выхода к морю, имейте в виду, а то у нас сложилось недопонимание. За устан - Если задача оказаться на изолированном острове-отеле как можно быстрее - лучший вариант. Ждали трансфер 5 минут, еще 12 мин в пути на лодке и мы на месте. С младенцем 2 мес очень удобно. Персонал очень доброжелательный и искренний, сервис действительно на уровне, спасибо огромное ребятам Leona, Smith, Gomaa! Еда хорошая на полном пансионе (завтрак-обед средний, ужин отличный). Хорошие номера и прекрасный вид из главного ресторана. Прекрасный массаж в SPA. Сделали апгрейд до люкса со скидкой. Наличие младенца ни на что не влияет, ожидали заселения 2 часа на жарком ресепшене. Много муравьев (если не боитесь их - не проблема) После дождя могут быть комары в тени - имейте репеллент, особенно если возьмете завтрак на дереве. Трэвел-коляска с трудом проходит по территории, так как глубокий песок, лайфхак - не толкайте, а тяните ее за собой в трудных участках

• MOHAMMED (10/5): -
• Nicholas (7/5): Beautiful place and very relaxing, but for the money we paid we probably should have got more. - The villa was amazing. Beach was beautiful. The all inclusive wasn’t actually all inclusive. There were some drinks that weren’t available (including wine!). Food was only available during meal times. We had to pay extra for snorkeling gear. After 6 only one of the bars was open and that other bar closed by 11:30/12 at night. Drinks in the mini bar were not included in the all inclusive.
• Sarabjiet Singh Hans (6/5): Great but not a 5 star hotel experience, more of a 3 or 4 star hotel experience. Not worth the money spent - Property was near the airport, food was delicious and had variety every day. Beach were clean, treetop was beautiful and peaceful, loved our jacuzzi and pool in our room Staff especially at reception were not friendly and did not smile. Housekeeping was bad, didn’t clean properly, and didn’t replace towels, had to tell them, and towels was just placed on the bed instead of hanging where it should be, plates and cups were not washed, tables were not wiped
• Farida (2/5): Very limited and low quality of food variety, extra charge on everything - Friendly staff I recently stayed at Malahini Kuda Bandos Maldives, and unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations—especially for a honeymoon trip. From the moment we arrived, things were off. We waited around 45 minutes at the airport with no clear signage or representative from the resort. Unlike other resorts that had visible booths, we had to ask around just to find someone. The food was the biggest disappointment. The half board package is very misleading—it includes no beverages except water, and it’s not even mineral water. The buffet options were extremely limited, low quality, and lacked any real taste. We even booked a private dinner, expecting something special, but the steak was very chewy and far from enjoyable. Overall, food quality is a 2/10. Another major issue is that everything is chargeable. Nothing feels included. If you get hungry after 10:30 PM, there are no options—no room service, no late-night food anywhere on the island. Check-in and check-out policies are also quite rigid. If your flight timing doesn’t align, you’re charged $30 per hour for early check-in or late check-out, which adds unnecessary stress and cost. Cleanliness and comfort were also concerning. We encountered insects, lizards, and bugs inside the room, which was very unpleasant. We booked a sunset villa expecting beach access, only to find out upon arrival that there is no beach on that side during this season. This was never communicated beforehand—we were simply told we should have booked the sunrise villa instead. Food hygiene standards were also questionable. The salad bar (which even included sushi at one point) was left without ice, air conditioning, or any proper temperature control. On a positive note, the staff were friendly, and the island itself is beautiful. However, hospitality goes beyond friendliness. Despite informing them that we were honeymooners, not a single gesture or special touch was offered.
• Friedrich85 (8/5): Super entspannt, Sonne, Strand und Meer - passt für 7 Tage+ - Das Essn ist Buffet und wir in einem 7-Tage rythmus geführt und wiederholt. Das essen war gut, frisch und lecker. Die Zimmer sind Standard ausgestattet und bieten einen guten Komfort. Der Strand ist gepflegt, es gibt genug Plätze um sich zu Sonnen oder im Schatten zu sein. Die kleine Insel, die man in 10 min. umlaufen kann... Die Tierwelt und die Ruhe Ich habe ab und zu Müll gesammelt aus dem Meer oder vom Strand. Das Personal ist immer bemüht alles sauber zu halten, was nicht immer gelingt
• Emma (5/5): -
• Helene (9/5): Paradies! - Alles war wunderbar, das Personal ist freundlich und zuvorkommend, die Insel ist wunderschön, das Essen ist lecker
• Patrick (9/5): Great stay. Staff were very helpful. Rooms are spacious and well kept. - Close location to Malè. Very comfortable room. Attentive staff No minibar inclusion in the all inclusive package.
• Alexandra Couto (7/5): Malahini was a great stay overall, with some real highlights! - Malahini was a great stay overall, with some real highlights! The room was definitely the best part—super comfortable and beautifully designed. The location is absolutely amazing with stunning views all around, and the pool and jacuzzi were fantastic for relaxing. The A/C was amazing and kept the room very comfortable throughout the stay. We did notice quite a few big ants around, but they didn’t really come close or affect our experience. There’s a lot to love here, and it really shines in terms of setting and facilities. A few small improvements would make it even better—for example, having the toilet in a separate enclosed room rather than an open/outside-style setup would really improve privacy and comfort. Overall, still a very enjoyable experience and definitely worth recommending, especially for the views, location, and rooms! For the price, the food was quite underwhelming with limited variety and not many options available. The beach, while having beautiful white sand, has a rocky ocean area all around the island, which makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to swim or comfortably enter the water. We also felt the toilet setup could be improved, as it is not in a fully enclosed separate room, which affects privacy and comfort.

• Vanesa (9/5): Beautiful island - The island and beach are amazing. The buffet is really good. The staff is attentive. The room is not comfortable (maybe in the bigger villas it is). It’s not 5 stars if it wasn’t because of the location of course. Uncomfortable bed with terrible pillows. Nothing plugged to avoid the mosquitos as in all other hotels. No hair conditioner, no body cream as per the 5 stars.
• Sylvia (9/5): - Es war Entspannung pur. Sehr schönes Resort. Tagsüber kam sehr schnell lange Weile auf. Tagsüber etwas Animation wäre toll gewesen.
• Irina (10/5): Very nice stay with our todler - I liked everything. I had a sunrise villa, and it was very beautiful. It was clean and nice. The island was not very big but you could find enough activities. There are two beaches. A small one with a nice view and a bar with swings. The other beach was huge, and enough life underwater to keep you busy. The restaurant was also nice, with food changing every day. I think those who are complaning about food diveristy are just exagerating. In the first day we got there, we could see dolphins from the porch of the Maga restaurant. We traveled with a todler and the staff was amazing, very friendly with the kid. They had baby seats. They also answered well to our small requests to acomodate the food for babys. I noticed around that all parents had different requests which were fulfilled by the staff. Our plane was quite late, around 10 pm but we were alowed to stay in the resort. They gave us towels and there was a very clean bathroom where you could shower. We actually got one more free day which was very nice. I was just talking when I was there with another guy who I met there that I don’t understand why other people complain in reviews. I was reading them while I was at the resort and I felt like most of them were exagerated. Maybe the other rooms are not the same but ours was very good.

• Brenda (10/5): - We loved this charming resort and the staff were all amazing. So friendly and helpful, we were very well looked after throughout our stay. Our garden room was spotless and had everything we needed. The location is very handy for Velana Airport, only 12 minutes by speedboat. We stayed for 2 days before going home after a boat trip week. It was perfect for a quiet relaxing break. The beach and snorkeling were excellent and there was plenty of quiet shade for resting. Plenty of choice in different restaurants too. We used The Blue for drinks and very nice food. Bar 75 beach bar with swings for seats and the sea at your feet was charming too. It is a tiny island but beautifully maintained with lovely gardens and discreet accommodation. From beginning to end the staff were super efficient and attentive. Top marks. Highly recommended. Nothing. It was a lovely resort for a short break

• Karima (8/5): Very nice atmosphere for a short stay conveniently located closed to Male airport - Kindness and professionalism of the entire staff The spa only offered massages and no other treatments
• Galina (8/5): - Персонал вежливый, пляж красивый, но нужны кораллки, питание вкусное и разнообразное. Пока не знаю.

• Simon (10/5): - Bandos truly felt like paradise on earth. Everything was incredibly beautiful, peaceful, and simply breathtaking. The staff were amazing, and the whole experience was truly beautiful and unforgettable. zilch = nula = nič = nada
• Joanne (6/5): - Too small - not good for swimming as coral reef very close . I was bitten by a trigger fish and had to seek medical Attention. The hotel should have warned about trigger fish nesting sights . They failed to do so
• Yasser (10/5): -
• Renata (7/5): Keine 5* Insel, zum Tauchen gibts bessere - Gutes Buffet mit viel Abwechslung, sofern man indische Gerichte und Speisen aus Sri Lanka mag. Pool-Villa ist hübsch aber ohne Strand und ungesichert zum Meer hin (nicht für Kinder geeignet). Freundliches Personal. Zu teuer! Dicht bebaute einfache Anlage, die weitgehend 3* bis 4* Niveau hat mit vielen einfachen Zimmern ohne Aussicht. Sehr teuer im Vergleich zu echte 5* Resorts. Tauchen durch Nähe zur Hauptstadt nicht auf Malediven-Niveau. Kein 5* Dive Center. All-inclusive hilft nur für Hauptrestaurant mit vielen russischen Gästen. Wege in der Anlage nachts schlecht beleuchtet. Transfer $95 pro Person von/zum Flughafen für 12 Min. Fahrt ist überteuert.

• Renata (7/5): Keine 5* Insel - aber nahe am Flughafen - Sandstrand vorhanden, leider nur um einen Tell der Insel. Das Buffet war gut und abwechslungsreich. Das Seafood BBQ am Strand gefiel mir sehr gut. 3-4* zum Preis von 5* Zu teuer für was es ist: absolut kein 5* Hotel, ausser vielleicht das Bad in der Poolvilla. Sehr nahe an Malé, daher war Tauchen nicht auf dem üblichen Malediven-Niveau. Es werden rundum zu viele neue Inseln gebaut, was Lärm und Sichtverhältnisse unter Wasser stark beeinträchtigen. Vor dem Resort soll in einer Lagune ein schwimmender Solarpark gebaut werden.

• ATom (10/5): - Náš pobyt v resortu Malahini Kuda Bandos byl výjimečný především díky kombinaci soukromí, kvality služeb a mimořádně lidského přístupu personálu. Ubytování v plážové vile s vlastním bazénem a vířivkou nabízí skutečný klid a intimitu — žádný ruch, jen moře pár kroků od terasy, kouzelný výhled, vlastní prostor a pocit, že máte kus ostrova jen pro sebe. Velkým překvapením byla také gastronomie. Nabídka je pestrá, kvalitní a dlouhodobě udržitelná i při delším pobytu — jídlo nás ani po několika dnech nepřestalo bavit. Resort si drží vysoký standard bez zbytečné okázalosti. Naprostým klenotem je domácí korálový útes přímo u ostrova. Každé šnorchlování přineslo nový zážitek, jiné ryby, jiné scenérie, jinou atmosféru. Pro milovníky podmořského života jde o obrovskou přidanou hodnotu, která výrazně přesahuje běžnou „resortní“ dovolenou. To, co ale pobyt skutečně povyšuje na mimořádný, jsou lidé. Personál zde nepůsobí formálně, ale přirozeně a upřímně. Od prvního dne jsme cítili opravdový zájem o hosty, nikoli jen profesionální zdvořilost. Zvláštní poděkování patří recepční Subha, která byla vždy ochotná, klidná a dokonale profesionální. Stejně tak Rosi, Leona, Swati a Nandhu a další, bohužel ale jejich jména neznám, každý z nich přidal osobní přístup, díky němuž jsme se cítili vítaní a v dobrých rukou. Velmi jsme ocenili také bezplatný pozdní check-out do 14:00, který poslední den proměnil z hektického balení v klidné a důstojné rozloučení s ostrovem. Malahini Kuda Bandos je krásné místo samo o sobě, ale skutečnou hodnotu mu dávají lidé, soukromí vil, kvalita služeb a jedinečné přírodní prostředí. Pokud hledáte dovolenou, která není jen luxusní, ale i lidsky příjemná a autentická, toto místo lze s klidným svědomím doporučit. Nestihl jsem ochutnat všechny koktejly
• Federico (8/5): - The staff, the room and the food..great value. The reef around the island, not that impressive as elsewhere in the maldives.
• Miko (3/5): NOT RECOMMENDED PLACE !!!! - Great place but arrogant people working there. Airport transport was the worst experience ever . Arrogant person at airport sent us away while we came for boat transfer . Very unprofessional manner. After that resort refuse to refund costs and charge 100% of the price . NOT RECOMMENDED PLACE !!!!
• Vittoria (8/5): - Piccolo atollo tranquillo dove potersi rilassare e fare snorkling, bellissima barriera corallina con tantissime varietà di pesci a pochi metri dall’ingresso in acqua di fronte alla camera dove eravamo. Massaggi alla spa entrambe le ragazze bravissime.
• Alia (9/5): Amazing - The place is in the middle of the sea A resort with good and service and location all within a good range
• Rita (4/5): Pessima gestione e mancanza di rispetto per l'ospite - La bellezza naturale del mare, purtroppo rovinata dalla pessima gestione della struttura Check-in a pagamento: Nonostante la camera fosse pronta, ci hanno chiesto 20€ l’ora per entrare in anticipo. Una mancanza di ospitalità imbarazzante. • Stress in spiaggia: Ci sono solo 10 ombrelloni per tutti gli ospiti. Per ottenere un materassino per il lettino è necessaria un'alzataccia alle 06:30, altrimenti si resta senza. • Cantiere e rumore: Lavori edili sul tetto per tre pomeriggi consecutivi (proprio nel momento del relax, dalle 13 alle 16) e viavai continuo di barche che sfrecciano davanti alla spiaggia. • Trasferimenti disorganizzati: Per un tragitto di soli 10 minuti ci hanno fatto aspettare un’ora e mezza l'arrivo di altri passeggeri. • Ristorazione deludente: Cibo tutto estremamente piccante. Inoltre, l’ultima sera ci hanno precluso l’accesso al terrazzo sul mare (dove mangiavamo sempre) per riservarlo a degli ospiti locali, facendoci sentire ospiti di serie B.
• Rita (5/5): Queste nn sono le Maldive!!!Esperienza deludente: gestione dei servizi e relax inesistenti - Mare e sole Esperienza pessima. Nonostante la disponibilità, il check-in anticipato si paga a caro prezzo (20€ ogni ora!). La quiete non esiste: dalle 13 alle 16 abbiamo avuto il rumore dei lavori sul tetto e la spiaggia sembra un'autostrada per le barche che passano di continuo davanti alla riva. Organizzazione spiaggia ridicola: materassini insufficienti e pochissimi ombrelloni, costringendo la gente a fare le "corse" all'alba. Il cibo è immangiabile se non amate il piccante estremo. Molto sgradevole essere stati "sfrattati" dal terrazzo panoramico durante l'ultima cena per favorire ospiti maldiviani. Gestione dei trasporti inefficiente con attese ingiustificate.
• Igor (6/5): -
• Krasi (10/5): - The staff was amazing! Sunrise pool villas are especially good! 12 minutes from the airport by boat.
• Kurt_Yvonne (7/5): ruhiger, erholsamer und nicht immer sehr bequemer (fehlende Liegematten) Aufenthalt. - Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, abwechslungsreich und grosse Auswahl für jeden Geschmack. Schöner Strand. Zimmer wurden jeden Tag gereinigt und waren sehr sauber. Die Standtücher wurden jeden Tag ausgewechselt. Das Personal war durchwegs sehr nett, freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Wir hatten ein Gartenstandartzimmer gebucht, dass entpuppte sich als Zimmer im 2. Stock mit Aussicht auf die nächste Hauswand. Aber wir waren ja nur zum schlafen da. Am Strand gab es zwar genügend Liegebetten, aber nur für jede 3. oder 4. Liege war ein Matratze/Matte vorhanden, was sehr unbefriedigend war. Wir besuchten diese Insel zum ersten Mal und waren vom Haus Riff enttäuscht. Korallen zerstört, wenig Fische.
• Galina (4/5): Остров хороший ,зеленый ,но сервис под туристические группы - Остров расположен в 15 минутах катером от аэропорта-это удобно .Остров уютный с гамаками у пляжа и качелями. Персонал ресторана и ресепшн -вежливый ,доброжелательный ,внимательный .Риф отличный :много различных рыб и кораллов. Виллы хорошо оборудованы ,уютные ,по-приезду -корзина фруктов ,печенье и красное вино для гостя -это очень приятно . Внимвние ! Garden rooms -это большое сдвоенное здание с 40 комнатами -просто общежитие .Если не повезло с соседями ,или рядом кричат и играют дети ,то на полноценный отдых можно не расчитывать .Отдохнуть днем в номере и спокойно провести вечер -не получится .Слышно все ! Также внутри комнаты есть дверь в соседнюю для объединения комнат ,поэтому слышно , что происходит у соседей …Кроме того ,неожиданно могут начать ремонт в соседнем номере,вскрывать бетонный пол ,работая часами перфоратором несколько дней !!! 😫 На просьбы прекратить -реагируют не с первого раза и только после скандала …В ресторане -70 процентов индийская кухня ,если вы не любите специи ,острое ,хотите вкусно ,то будете питаться однообразно … В целом ,остров хорош для молодежи и туристических групп ,которые сюда и заезжают .в большом количестве .Тем ,кому нужен покой и релакс -не сюда …
• Kristina (8/5): -
• Sergei (9/5): - Останавливались в номере люкс с маленьким ребенком (7 месяцев). Суждение только по этому номеру. Отличный номер, все есть согласно описанию на букинг. Сервис на высоком уровне. Любое разумное желание тут же исполняли. Три кондиционера в номере позволяли маневрировать температурой в разных комнатах и зонах. Хороший холодильник, чай, кофе. Внутренняя приватная зона, бассейн, джакузи, два душа. Все в номере отлично. Ресторан - отдельная история. Повторяются блюда через неделю. Готовят хорошо, для Мальдивы - очень хорошо. Отдельная благодарность шеф повару - Chef Ansari “Malahini”. Готовили для ребенка отдельные блюда. Room service очень хороший, готовили хорошо. Цены достаточно разумные. В ресторане работают хорошие сотрудники - Amdadul, Rana, Vishal. Им отдельное спасибо за обслуживание. Другие сотрудники тоже очень любезные. Пляж - у нас перед виллой было всё очень хорошо. Вход в море во время отлива сложен, близко кораллы, во время прилива нормально. Мы плавали с масками. Не везде можно проплыть через мелководье на глубину, но сделать это реально. Кораллы в основном мертвые, но на глубине есть достаточно живых, красивых кораллов. Рыб много, разнообразные. Очень много акул. Для купания без масок лучше иметь обувь. Объект не очень новый. Кафе не очень новые, мебель очень простая - столовая! Территорию можно содержать в лучшем состоянии. Но это отрицательно не повлияло на наш отдых. Нам все понравилось. К таким моментам относимся спокойно. Остров очень зеленый. Были в период массовой отмены рейсов через ОАЭ и Катар. Сотрудники отеля без особого желания вникали в проблемы, с которыми сталкивались проживающие. Понимаю, бизнес, прибыль, но можно было даже заработать больше и постояльцев порадовать. Мы свои вопросы решили положительно, нашли общее решение, но это потребовало некоторых усилий и оставило неприятный осадок. Но в целом отдых понравился!
• Péter Ábel (8/5): - We only spent 1 nigth waiting for our plane. Everything was good, it is a nice place. The big advantage and disadvantage they have is how close they are to Male.
• Nadia (7/5): - O sitio é muito bonito... Os empregados não sao muito simpáticos.

• Mariia (10/5): - Прекрасные чистые просторные виллы с бассейном на пляже! Отдыхали по системе all inclusive gold (доплата за gold 100$ за ночь за человека) питание, напитки, снаряжение для снорклинга, парный массаж и экскурсия на закате с дельфинами включены. Поздравили с днем рождения, с годовщиной свадьбы- украшали кровать и дарили десерты. Отдых был просто чудесным, очень вежливый и внимательный персонал, великолепный остров утопающий в деревьях, зелени и цветах. Пляж с кораллами, чистый красивый океан с разнообразными его обитателями. Спасибо, очень хочу вернуться к вам снова! Не предоставляли спасательный жилет (хотя маску, трубку и ласты давали без проблем) В море без тапочек для кораллов не зайти Достаточно скудный завтрак на шведском столе, но для проживающих на виллах есть возможность заказать завтрак по меню (одно блюдо на человека) Персонал не до конца осведомлен, что включено по программе all inclusive gold Выход на пляж есть не у всех вилл на пляже, на нашей не было, у соседей был, с одной стороны это давало чувство полного уединения, так как никто по пляжу не ходил, с другой ежедневно плавали люди на каяках или занимались снорклингом прямо напротив нашей виллы
• Shqipe (10/5): - La végétation sur l’île, la nourriture du restaurant blue. La gentillesse du personnel. Le repas de poissons grillés sur la plage était vraiment magique
• Weronika (10/5): Wszytko super - Pracują tam cudowni ludzie !
• Gábor (6/5): Ár értékben nem rossz. Viszont van hova fejlődniük a körbyezetben lévő resort szigetelhez képest. - A Maldív-szigetek alapból csodás hely. Az előzetes egyeztetések során egy szóval sem mondták, hogy az all inclusive ellátásba nem fér bele pár üdítő a becsekkolás előtt, súlyos dollárokkal húznak le egy kóláért is. A kijelentkezés pedig nagyon okos mivel a transzfer 20:00 kor indult. A late check outba pedig nem fér bele az üdítő így 12:00 tol szintén minden fizetőssé válik elég nagy haszonnal feléjük. Az ott tartózkodás alatt a takarító (jatt ellenében is) volt hogy elfelejtett az általa elvitt törölköző helyett újat adni. A mini bárt (fizetős) elfelejtette feltölteni és a végszámlánál derült ki hogy amikor nem hozta a megivott üdítőt szépen fogyasztásnak írták el. Utolsó napra sikerült egy fürdő kilépőt hozniuk. Van hova fejlődni. Mindenki olvassa el a feltételeket mert sok allinclusivval szemben itt vannak okos kikötések amik sok pénzzel rövidítenek meg.
• Robert (9/5): Ein traumhaftes, kleines Inselparadies mit tollem Essen und beeindruckendem Hausriff. Kleinere Kritikpunkte bei den Zusa - Hier ist eine fertig formulierte Bewertung ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt im Malahini Kuda Bandos Resort auf den Malediven. Es ist wirklich ein kleines Paradies! Die Insel ist traumhaft schön, mit vielen ruhigen und entspannten Plätzen am Strand – sowohl in der Sonne als auch im Schatten. Auch die Bars sind gemütlich und perfekt zum Abschalten. Natürlich sieht man die Stadt Malé am Horizont und tagsüber fliegen einige Propellermaschinen über die Insel, außerdem fahren Schnellboote vorbei. Uns persönlich hat das aber weniger gestört, da das Gesamtambiente trotzdem sehr ruhig und erholsam ist. Das Essen war phänomenal lecker! Besonders empfehlenswert, wenn man indische, srilankische und internationale Küche mag – wirklich sehr abwechslungsreich und qualitativ hochwertig. Das Hausriff rund um die Insel ist atemberaubend. Wir haben unglaublich viele Fische gesehen, mehrere Haie und eine fantastische Unterwasserwelt. Einziges kleines Abenteuer: Ein Drückerfisch (Triggerfish) hat mich tatsächlich angegriffen – also beim Schnorcheln etwas Abstand halten 😉 Verbesserungswürdig ist aus unserer Sicht das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bei den Nebenkosten. Steuern und Service Charge wurden bei jeder Bestellung zusätzlich berechnet, was auf Dauer etwas genervt hat. Auch der Flughafentransfer mit 95 € pro Person für ca. 12 Minuten Bootsfahrt ist schon sehr teuer. Trotzdem überwiegen für uns ganz klar die positiven eindrücke
