Guest Reviews

• Federico Origlia (10/5): - La guest house molto carina, il personale top per disponibilità gentilezza, ospitalità e simpatia , ci hanno fornito 2 bike comodissime per l'isola. Ottima scelta
• Maud (9/5): -
• Daniela (10/5): Come a casa - Struttura molto pulita, personale gentilissimo e disponibile, ci hanno trattato come a casa, sempre presenti e gentili. Ero con mia figlia piccola e loro mi sono stai sempre vicino La varietà del cibo non è il massimo Le escursioni dipendono dal gruppo
• Bakhyt (10/5): Всем советую - мы проживали в этом отеле три дня. Это самый лучший отель по гостеприимству. Нас нигде так не встречали , как в этом отеле. Персонал реально старается для гостей. Номера чистые , все удобства есть , убирались каждый день. По запросу отвозили на пляж , в ресторан , куда угодно. Отель предоставил бесплатную экскурсию «плавание с черепахами». Нам понравились два инструктора. Одного зовут Ипон. Очень квалифицированный , веселый , учил плавать, был вежлив. Девушка Мониша всегда улыбчивая и исполнительная. Вообщем , нам все понравилось! Сам остров небольшой , пляж не вау , но все удобства есть. Рядом магазины , кофейни , рестораны. Было уютно, комфортно. За свои деньги это достойный отдых ! Советую эсксурсии брать в отеле , очень дешевые Пляж бикини бич не понравился
• Sandra (10/5): -
• Andrea (8/5): Ottima guesthouse - Struttura molto pulita ed accogliente. Lo staff molto gentile e super disponibile. Cibo molto buono. Escursioni proposte erano varie e in alcune c'era la possibilità di avere il pranzo al sacco. Abbiamo avuto la sfortuna di soggiornare nel periodo del ramadan, quindi di giorno le attività dell isola erano molto limitate. Isola ancora in costruzione, anche se non è colpa della struttura
• Ильсияр (10/5): Очень хороший отель с ответственным персоналом и уютной атмосферой. Они окутывают своей заботой с первой минуты знакомс - Персонал, номер, экскурсии, питание
• Igor (10/5): We felt welcomed and cozy. - Very friendly personal. Perfect location. Great room. Pretty cool terrace with TV, chill corner and good restaurant. As a lovely service, we were brought to the airport early in the morning.
• Federica (10/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): Beautiful rooms, very kind staff - Beautiful rooms on a beautiful Island. Rifath (our Host) was exceptionally kind, generous and welcoming. He looked after us very well, and made sure we were happy! We did a few tours they offered, and enjoyed ourselves very much. The whole staff was friendly and professional. It was a few minutes to the beach, but every single time we were offered a transport to the beach and also to the restaurants. We had a great time and definitely recommend staying here!
• guillaume (10/5): - Les repas , le personnel incroyablement gentil et bienveillant, le manager toujours pour aider, la plage à l'eau chaude et aux eaux cristallines, les excursions avec toujours plein de choses à voir. Rien
• Sara (10/5): Es war eine traumhafte Woche auf Maamigili dank Koimala. - Gemütlich eingerichtete Zimmer, gute Ausstattung, das Personal war unglaublich! Ich empfehle unbedingt den Schnorchel-Ausflug mit Walhaien. Der Boots-Kapitän und der Schnorchel-Guide wissen genau, was sie tun, und haben uns direkt vor dem Walhai ins Wasser gelassen. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Das Personal erfüllt einem jeden Wunsch sofort. Absolut empfehlenswert.
• Geraldine (3/5): Si vous cherchez un hôtel sur une belle île avec de l’animation pour votre voyage fuyez celui là. - Les hôtes L’emplacement de l’hôtel, aucune possibilité d’aller boire un verre, aucune animation, photo trompeuse sur le site, la réalité est vraiment tout autre chose, nous nous sommes fiés aux notes et commentaires de chacun et nous avons été très déçu 😩
• Bogdan (10/5): Relaxant - Hotelul se află pe o insulă de localnici. Este locația perfectă pentru persoanele care doresc să vadă exact stilul de viață de pe insulele din Maldive. Totodată, este mult mai accesibil din punct de vedere financiar față de resorturile din Maldive. Cel mai mult mi-a plăcut faptul că oamenii care lucrează aici sunt foarte drăguți și mereu cu zâmbetul pe buze. Orice problemă am avut ei au rezolvat-o rapid. Hotelul se află puțin mai departe de plajă, dar asta nu a fost o problemă pentru ca un băiat care lucra acolo se oferea mereu să ne ducă până la plajă cu tuc-tucul.
• Dirk (10/5): It was a good and cozy time at Koimsls hotel! - A very cozy accommodation with incredibly friendly staff who do their utmost to ensure a wonderful stay. The food is diverse, very delicious, and reasonably priced. An impressive encounter with a whale shark was also made possible thanks to Rippon, who later provided me with great photos of myself and the whale shark. There is a beautiful, clean, and spacious beach with fine sand, which can be reached on foot in about 15 minutes. Upon request, the friendly staff will also give you a ride there. The island is still strongly shaped by local life and therefore feels very authentic. I also saw very few tourists.
• Anna (10/5): We give this hotel the highest rating. We were very satisfied and would definitely recommend both the hotel and visiting - We really loved this hotel. When I was choosing a place to stay and came across it, I didn’t believe the number of positive reviews — it seemed too good to be true. But in reality, everything turned out to be even better. Service and Staff We were truly impressed by the level of service. All staff members — kitchen team, waiters, excursion guides, and the manager Rifat — were very polite, friendly, and genuinely willing to help. They did their best to meet all our requests. Without a doubt, the main strength of this hotel is its people. Rooms The rooms are spacious and clean. Housekeeping is done regularly, and towels are changed daily. The best option is a second-floor room with a jacuzzi and a swing. Stay and Food We stayed for a week, and our booking included a free excursion — snorkeling with turtles. It was absolutely amazing. We also had a half-board plan (breakfast and dinner). For the price, it’s an excellent deal. The food is good, with a decent menu selection, but keep in mind that Maldivian cuisine tends to be quite salty and spicy. If you prefer milder flavors, it’s better to ask in advance. Excursions and Experience The hotel offers a wide range of excursions, and they are the main highlight of the Maldives experience. The underwater world is incredible: we saw whale sharks, turtles, manta rays, nurse sharks, and many other beautiful marine species. Everything is well organized — guides take you by speedboat to various spots in the ocean. Additional Info You can exchange USD to Maldivian rufiyaa at the hotel at a good rate (better than at the airport). The hotel also has two massage chairs, and in the evenings you can feed sharks from the pier. It’s almost impossible to buy panthenol on the island, so if you tend to get sunburned, bring your own. However, the hotel helped us by providing fresh aloe leaves. There is also a shop next to the hotel with all the essentials. -
• Tereza (10/5): - příjemné, přátelské a klidné ubytování. Personál se snaží, aby jste byli vždy spokojeni. Moc se nám tu líbilo.
• Nadine (10/5): Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit tollen Aktivitäten. - Das Hotel ist sehr schön. Es gibt eine große Terrasse, die sehr schön gestaltet ist und wo morgens und abends das Essen serviert wird. Auch die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet und sehr groß. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. In der Unterkunft kann man direkt Unternehmungen buchen. Die Rezeption ist leider fast nie besetzt, sodass man bei Fragen immer über Booking schreiben muss.
• Eva-Maria (10/5): Tolles kleines Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Service, gutem Essen und vielen Ausflugsmöglichkeiten - Ich habe meinen Aufenthalt auf der lokalen Insel Maamigili sehr genossen. Das kleine, familiäre Hotel Koimala hat eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre geschaffen, in der man sich schnell willkommen und gut aufgehoben fühlt. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die tollen und aufmerksamen Mitarbeiter – der Service war durchweg freundlich, hilfsbereit und sehr engagiert. Auch das Angebot an Ausflügen hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, die Umgebung zu entdecken und verschiedene Aktivitäten zu unternehmen. Das Essen war ebenfalls sehr gut und abwechslungsreich, sodass man sich auch kulinarisch rundum wohlfühlen konnte. Insgesamt hatte ich eine wirklich schöne Zeit und würde definitiv wiederkommen. Ein Punkt, mit dem man sich allerdings vor der Anreise genauer beschäftigen sollte, ist der Transfer auf die Insel. Hier lohnt es sich, sich im Voraus gut zu informieren und zu planen. Alles in allem eine tolle Erfahrung auf einer authentischen lokalen Insel der Malediven. ———— I really enjoyed my stay on the local island of Maamigili. The small, family-run hotel Koimala created a very pleasant atmosphere where you quickly feel welcome and well taken care of. I would especially like to highlight the wonderful and attentive staff – the service was consistently friendly, helpful, and very dedicated. I also really liked the variety of excursions offered. There are many opportunities to explore the surroundings and take part in different activities. The food was also very good and varied, so from a culinary perspective you feel well looked after as well. Overall, I had a really great time and would definitely come back. However, one thing you should look into carefully before your trip is the transfer to the island. It’s worth informing yourself and planning this in advance. All in all, a wonderful experience on an authentic local island in the Maldives.
• Rebecca (10/5): - Alles. Die Mitarbeiter super freundlich und alle haben sich um einen gekümmert. Obwohl es Überbucht war, wurde ein Hotel nicht weit weg zur Verfügung gestellt, das sogar mehr kostet, zum gleichen Preis. Die Ausflüge waren siper organisiert und tolles Team. Das Essen war sehr lecker, der Koch hat sich auch informiert nach wünschen, top.
• Anne (9/5): Tolles Hotel! - Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das außergewöhnlich nette, hilfsbereite und stets bemühte Personal. Man spürt vom ersten Moment an, dass hier wirklich alles dafür getan wird, damit sich die Gäste wohlfühlen und es einem an nichts fehlt. Jeder Wunsch wurde mit einem Lächeln erfüllt, und die Herzlichkeit wirkte dabei immer authentisch. Ein großes Dankeschön geht an Manager Rippath, der mit viel Engagement und Professionalität für einen reibungslosen Ablauf sorgt, sowie an Guide Rippon, der mit seiner offenen Art und seinem Wissen unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht hat. Dank ihm durften wir mit 12 Mantas und Schildkröten schnorcheln – eine Erfahrung, die unseren Urlaub enorm bereichert hat. Auf den Bootstrips haben wir ebenso 2 Delfinschulen gesehen. Auch das Haifüttern am Hafen war ein Highlight für uns. Wir bekamen kostenlos Fischreste aus der Küche. :) Aber auch das Team mit Manisha, Dada und allen anderes war großartig! Durch sie fühlten wir uns super wohl! Auch kulinarisch wurden wir verwöhnt: Das Essen war durchweg lecker, abwechslungsreich und liebevoll zubereitet. Für das gebotene Gesamtpaket ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis wirklich klasse. Am Hotel kann man sich ebenso kostenlos Fahrräder mieten, um zum nahegelegenen Strand zu fahren sowie Strandhandtücher. Insgesamt hatten wir eine fantastische Zeit und würden dieses Hotel jederzeit weiterempfehlen Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt sind die Badezimmer, die an der einen oder anderen Stelle noch etwas mehr Instandsetzung vertragen könnten. Das hat unseren Aufenthalt jedoch nicht beeinträchtigt.
• Katja (8/5): Ein entspannter Inselurlaub auf den Malediven, Preis/Leistung wirklich sehr gut! - Ein kleines, feines Hotel mit unglaublich hilfsbereitem Personal. Bei Fragen wird einem sofort geholfen. Das individuell zubereitete Essen ist frisch und lecker. Die angebotenen Ausflüge sind super organisiert und begleitet. Ein großes Dankeschön an Rifath. Ein Inselurlaub ohne Luxus aber mit Rundum-Wohlfühl-Charakter ;-) Der Strandabschnitt ist klein und leider von zu wenigen und auch einigen defekten Liegen bestückt. Bitte hier einfache Liegen anschaffen, auf denen man schön relaxen kann. Der Beachcleaner macht auf den knapp 100 m einen sehr guten Job, rechts und links davon ist leider sehr viel Müll. Nicht vergessen, ausreichend Wasser zum Strand mitzubringen!
• Marino (10/5): Ein solches Personal braucht die Welt! ;-) - Wir waren zwei Wochen im Februar 2026 im Koimala. Beginnen wir mal mit der Verpflegung: Da wir morgens nichts essen, hatten wir zum Frühstück nur jeweils einen Kaffee. Wir hätten aus der Frühstücks-Karte auswählen können. Es gab alles Mögliche, vom englischen über kontinentalen bis amerikanischen Frühstück. Zum Lunch und zum Dinner konnten wir ebenfalls aus der Menü-Karte auswählen (schon beim Mahl zuvor, so dass keine Wartezeiten entstanden!). Von lokalen asiatischen Menüs bis zur Pizza gab es alles. Und es war alles sehr lecker! Ich habe alles ausprobiert, von oben bis unten. Allerdings kein Fleisch (bin Vegetarier). Unterkunft generell: Das Hotel ist einfach, allerdings vom Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sehr gut und sehr sauber. Es hat auch einen günstig gelegenen Platz in mitten der Insel. Man kann alles zu Fuß erreichen, inkl. Apotheke, Zahnarzt, Supermärkte, etc. Es ist ein familiär geführtes Hotel von Rifath Mohamed. Ein sehr freundlicher Mensch, der sowohl sein Team als auch die Gäste zuvorkommend behandelt. Man konnte wirklich auch alles was man zusätzlich wollte anfordern, es wurde auch sehr zeitnah erledigt (wir sprechen über Minuten!), inkl. Wäschewaschen. Da sind wir dann auch schon beim Team: Und das ist besonders hervorzuheben! An Freundlichkeit, Einsatzbereitschaft und Qualität unvergleichlich! Es war immer Zeit für ein Lächeln und die Frage, ob sie etwas für uns tun können. Siehe das Foto mit dem Team (v.l.n.r.: Ich, Shomon, Dada, meine Frau, Monisha und Saimon). Es fehlen Ripon, der für die Außeneinsätze (Snorkeling- und Sharkwatch-Touren, etc.) zuständig ist sowie der Chef Rifath. Letzterer hat so ziemlich alles möglich gemacht, was auch mal nicht so ganz in seinen Bereich fällt. Vom Geldeintausch bis - und das hat uns den Hintern gerettet! - zu einem Rerouting der Fähre nach Male, damit wir unseren Flieger noch rechtzeitig für den Rückflug bekommen! Hat er am Abend vorher mit dem Skipper geklärt. Sowas braucht man halt wirklich mal im Urlaub! Nichts. Hotelführung und Personal waren vorbildlich.
• DELONG (1/5): 入住前一晚临时拒绝我的入住，这里让人失望至极 - 没有满意之处 在入住前的晚上，告诉我房间满员无法安排我的房间。以至于我之后的行程完全处于混乱和失控的状态，导致我后面的行程体验感极差，没有比这里更让人失望的经历了。
• wolfina (10/5): - Krásné místo, úžasný personál, milý, vstřícný, udělají pro vás všechno. Nádhera 🙂
• Federica (8/5): Maldive autentiche - Hotel carino e accogliente, forse un po' spartano, il cui punto di forza è sicuramente l'immensa gentilezza e disponibilità di tutto il personale. Ho partecipato alle loro escursioni (squalo balena e mante), organizzate bene e con una guida snorkeling molto brava. L'isola di Maamigilii è ancora molto selvaggia e quasi tutta in costruzione. Questo comporta una scelta un po' limitata di cibo che per le permanenze più lunghe può risultare un pochino ripetitivo.
• Federica (10/5): -
• Tina (8/5): - The staff were great!! A bit noisy at times with certain guests. The kettle cord was not long enough to plug in. The soap containers did work properly
• Michaela (10/5): Fajn pobyt s nádhernou pláží - Velmi milí a ochotní zaměstnanci, vyzvednou vás po příjezdu a zase vás odvezou při odjezdu, nemusíte se štrachat pěšky se zavazadlem. Nechala jsem si i vyprat oblečení na konci pobytu. Obsluha a kuchyně super, vaří se snídaně, obědy i večeře. Uklízí pokoje denně. Vedle hotelu je obchod s potravinami a drogerií a dá se zde platit kartou. Bikini pláž je úžasná a krásná👍 Měla jsem pokoj u kuchyně, kde bylo večer vše slyšet, tak jsem se přestěhovala jinam na druhý konec a to zase bylo nad nejhlučnějším bodem ulice, kde místní jezdili na motorkách a byli hluční do tří do rána😂takže jsem si nepomohla, ale uz jsem zustala a použila špunty do uší. Jinak ostrov je jedno velké staveniště, rozestavěné domy a fabriky, jinak zde nic pro turisty.
• Caroline (8/5): Nice place of luxury on a local island - The room was big and had a great view. The air conditioning was fantastic. The bed was comfortable, and there was a lot of outdoor space (balcony and terrace) to relax. The staff were friendly and helpful, and picked us up from the jetty and dropped us to the airport (even at 5am)! The food was tasty, and the excursions themselves were well organised. Communication around the excursions could have been better. There was a lot of confusion about what was happening on what days. Also the restaurant didn't have a lot of options for drinks compared to other restaurants in the area. Also, the WiFi didn't work in our room (we had to stand on the balcony to connect.
• Karen (10/5): -
• Giulia (10/5): - Accoglienza, disponibilità e gentilezza dello staff
• Sabina (10/5): - Finns inget att klaga på!
• Zuzana (10/5): - It was my first time coming to Maledives and I chose this hotel on local island. It was absolutely amazing how friendly and helpful were people working there. Taking care of me everyday asking if everything is alright. 😊 Did amazing trips with the hotel as well, it was lot of fun. Food was nice as well. The benefit of this island is that you can take 2-3h boat trip but also 30mins flight from Male which is quite affordable as well. Thanks to the best hotel manager who also made me happy and found for me the most beautiful banknote with whaleshark and turtle the last day I stayed there. I couldn’t find this banknote anywhere else until then. 🫶🏻☺️ I can definitely recommend
• ALEKSANDRE (10/5): - Отдыхали в отеле Kaimala, остались очень довольны выбором. Отель расположен в центре острова, в очень удобном месте - рядом есть все необходимые маркеты и магазины, так что с бытовыми мелочами проблем не возникало. Персонал заслуживает отдельной похвалы: все сотрудники очень вежливые, внимательные и предупредительные, всегда готовы помочь и подсказать. Номера чистые, ухоженные и полностью соответствуют фотографиям при бронировании. Море просто великолепное, да, оно находится не прямо у порога отеля, но отель предлагает трансфер туда и обратно. Мы этой услугой не пользовались, потому что нам было приятно гулять по острову и рассматривать окрестности - вокруг очень красиво. Тем более дорога до моря занимает пять минут. Пляж чистый и уютный, купаться одно удовольствие. По питанию только положительные впечатления, мы брали полупансион (завтраки и ужины): еда вкусная, разнообразная, персонал всегда интересовался нашими предпочтениями и старался угодить. Экскурсии были организованы на высшем уровне, все что обещали было выполнено: мы увидели и черепах, и акул. Особенно запомнилась экскурсия на косу - снорклинг, прогулки, прекрасный загар и потрясающие виды. Отель, сервис, море, экскурсии - все на высшем уровне. С удовольствием вернулись бы сюда снова и смело рекомендуем этот отель.
• Gloria (10/5): Un soggiorno super consigliato e un servizio molto molto attento alle esigenze degli ospiti - Molto funzionale e rispecchia la vera esperienza maldiviana. Comodo avere i pasti inclusi.
• Kiril (10/5): -
• Kiril (9/5): -
• Alexandru (10/5): Strongly recommend!!! - Amazing place and peoples are very kind
• Manuela (10/5): Koimala is unforgettable thanks to its extraordinary team—friendly, caring, and always going the extra mile, making ever - We had an amazing stay at Koimala on Maamigili. Rippath, the owner, and his team went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The all-inclusive food was fantastic, and the service was full of warmth, care, and friendliness. New Year’s Eve was unforgettable— they invited all guests for a beautiful beach dinner followed by a fun party with staff and guests dancing together. It was really special. When we forgot our shoes at the hotel, Rippath even sent them by plane to Malé so we could have them back in time before our flight home. The hotel is beautifully located in the middle of the island, just a short walk to the stunning beach, and they always offer a ride if you prefer. The tours are excellent too—we saw turtles, manta rays, and even the whale shark! The island feels authentic and local, with tourism arriving slowly, making it extra special. The beach is beautiful, without houses and hotels in the background. Amazing blue water, white sand and green background (trees). Koimala is simply at the top of my list, and not just for the Maldives, ( and I have traveled a lot and been to various kinds of accommodations and all sorts of hotels) thanks to the amazing people who run it. We miss Koimala already!
• Tural (10/5): Замечтательно - Лучший персонал приветливый дружелюбный . Менеджер Рифат может решить все ваши проблемы . Очень хороший парень . И все что я просил у него он делал и даже денег не брал за некоторые платные услуги . Ехать из Мале на катере 2,5 часа
• Flora (6/5): - Il mare era stupendo e soprattuto è bellissimo avere la spiaggia tutta libera. La cucina non mi a soddisfatto nulla, devono migliorare la cucina. Va bene ché c'è la loro cucina maldiviana però devono esplorare anche la cucina Italiana. La pulizia non era perfetta.. asciugamani e lenzuola un po' sporche. Le escursioni mi hanno deluso perché non sono attrezzati e devono migliorare tantissimo. Lo staff gentilissimo.
• Pietro (10/5): Fantastico, rilassante e avventuroso - Staff gentilissimo e disponibile. Buona cucina. Camere spaziose e pulite. Le attività proposte sono interessanti e a prezzi vantaggiosi. Impossibile annoiarsi. Posizione strategica per raggiungere la spiaggia e il porto a piedi in 5 minuti Qualche lettino in più in spiaggia potrebbe essere utile
• samanta (10/5): -
• Manuela (10/5): An unforgettable stay in a happy, welcoming place that truly feels like a hidden pearl. - m, suitable for Booking: Koimala Hotel is excellent! The staff is truly tireless, friendly, and always ready to fulfill your requests with a smile. Koimala is a happy and pleasant place where you immediately feel welcome. Maamigili beach is very beautiful, and the surrounding areas and activities are also great. The island itself is very local, safe, interesting, and peaceful. We felt lucky to have found this hidden Pearl, which is Koimala! The best placa to be.
• MB (10/5): Eccezionale - Siamo appena rientrati dalla nostra prima vacanza alle Maldive e, in particolare in una guest house. Al Koimala siamo stati benissimo. Il padrone di casa è davvero bravo ad accontentare i suoi clienti. Il cibo è ottimo, la struttura è piccola ma accogliente, le stanze sono spaziose e sempre pulite. La bikini beach è a dieci minuti di camminata ma Dada ti porta con il buggy quando serve. Una menzione speciale al personale che ti fa sentire davvero a casa: Monica, Tina, Dada, Saymon e Rippon sono eccezionali! Niente.
• Lai (10/5): Super! - Noi arrivavamo da un resort, quindi avevamo paura di non reggere il confronto con una guesthouse, ma ci hanno fatto ricredere! Personale gentilissimo❤️ tutti sempre super sorridenti e disponibili! L’host ci ha voluto regalare un upgrade della camera graditissimo! I pasti sono alla carta, per cui per l’orario stabilito ti arriva il piatto caldo! Isola locale, quindi troverete altri negozietti e potrete curiosare la vera vita maldiviana.
• Memli (10/5): - Nice staff and helpful 👍
• Adele (9/5): Koimala has everything you need for a perfect stay. The staff are amazing and always happy to help, from arranging trans - Staff amazing - very well organised - always ready to help All good
• Mehmet Yigit (10/5): Maldivlerde deniz-kum-günes ve kültür tatili - Rifat ve arkadaslari adaya ulastiginizdan itibaren sizi el üstünde tutuyor ve konforlu hissetmeniz icin ellerinden geleni yapiyorlar. Bikini plaji bir bucuk kilometre uzakta. Istediginiz zaman otelin araclari sizi oraya getir-götür hizmeti veriyor. Eger Maldivler tatilinizde biraz da yasayanlarin kültürünü deneyimlemek istiyorsaniz Maamigili bu konuda ideal bir ada. Yerel nüfus turist nüfusundan sayica fazla oldugu icin biraz kültür tatili yapmak mümkün oluyor. Uygun fiyata konaklayarak dalis ve snorkel turlari yapmak icin ideal bir ada ayni zamanda. Cok turistik ve güzel olan Digurah adasina her gün uygun fiyata toplu ulasim var. Yemekler güzel ve tatmin ediciydi. Genel olarak ada ve deniz cöplerle dolu. Tüketilen tüm plastik paketli gidalarin cöpleri ya yakiliyor ya da denizin dibini boyluyor.Bu Maldivlerle ilgili genel bir problem. Maamigilide Düzenli olarak temiz tutulan tek yer bikini plaji. Gril balik ve pizzalar ekstra ücretliydi.
• Corinna (10/5): - Die Mitarbeiter und der Chef waren alle super lieb. Wie hatten 3 Tage Regen und dennoch haben alle versucht uns den Urlaub so schön wie möglich zu gestalten. Ich bin leider krank geworden und musste Abends ins Gesundheitszentrum. Es kamen direkt 2 Mitarbeiter mit und haben uns dort geholfen. Es war trotz Regen und Krankheit ein tolle Erfahrung dort. Wir sagen nochmal danke für alles.
• Davide (10/5): - We had a fantastic experience at Koimala Hotel. The staff were incredibly attentive, kind, and always ready to help with anything I needed — they truly made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and you can tell that the team genuinely cares about their guests. The room was clean and comfortable, and everything was well organized. Perfect location for exploring the island and relaxing at the same time. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Maldives who values great service and genuine hospitality.
• Sebti (10/5): Magnifique séjour, un insdispensable à vivre. - Tout est pensé pour le confort de ses clients ! On voit les équipes s’acharner au travail et se rendre sans cesse disponible pour le bien être des clients, et toujours avec le sourire malgré des touristes pas toujours faciles. Toute l’équipe est au top. L’hôtel est propre et très bien situé au milieu de la population locale hyper accueillante, avec un supermarket à proximité, une pharmacie, un hôpital , la plage sans parler des îles à proximité et des excursions toutes plus incroyables les une que les autres. Tout cela est en parti dû à Rifat, le gérant, qui mettra un point d’honneur a toujours vous renseigner de façon très précise et dans l’intérêt de ses clients. On peut lui faire confiance à 1000% confiance. J’ai absolument tout aimé. Il n’y a rien que je n’ai pas aimé.
• Emma Carmen (9/5): - The staff were very hospitable and friendly, great location too.
• Fabiana (10/5): Nel nostro cuore per sempre - Abbiamo trascorso una settimana alle Maldive al Koimala Hotel ed è stata un’esperienza semplicemente indimenticabile. Ogni giorno abbiamo fatto un’escursione diversa, tutte organizzate alla perfezione e in ogni momento ci siamo sentiti viziati e coccolati. Il vero valore aggiunto di questo posto è senza dubbio lo staff: FANTASTICO. Tutti sono estremamente cordiali, disponibili e sempre pronti ad esaudire ogni richiesta. Per qualsiasi cosa c’erano loro, ed è proprio questo che fa davvero la differenza. Un ringraziamento speciale a Ripon, che ci ha accompagnato in ogni escursione: una persona straordinaria, professionale e dal cuore enorme, che porteremo sempre con noi. Grazie al proprietario Rifat, che ci ha viziato e accontentato in tutto, facendoci sentire come a casa. Cibo buono e molto speziato 🤣🩵 Il Koimala Hotel non è solo un posto dove dormire, ma un luogo dove si creano ricordi e legami veri. Vi porteremo sempre nel cuore. 💙 Nulla! Se volete un’esperienza autentica e local koimala fa al caso vostro. ❤️
• Alexey (9/5): Great value for money - Rooms are spacious and comfortable. There are also nice common areas and even two massage chairs. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and they'll arrange your excursion trips. They serve basic breakfast, lunch and dinner. We skipped dinner to explore local restaurants (that were quite good and very affordable). There were occasional issues with WiFi and hot water, otherwise everything was great.

• Tuula (10/5): The Koimala Team, thank you for letting us be part of your family during our nine day stay! - 1. The personnel of the hotel was absolutely amazing!!! We rate them 11/10. They were most attentive, friendly, funny, caring, and always willing to do the best to make us feel very good. Due to their excellent work, we felt like we were part of the great Koimala Team. 2. Fantastic trips, the best guide, and great captain! We were able to see whalesharks, mantas, turtles, and all kinds of colourful fish. The professionalism of our guide Ripon was sensational. He made all the possible efforts and more to enable us to get the most of these trips. We highly recommend taking these trips!! 3. The hotel is located in the middle of the village where local people live. It offers a great opportunity to see what everyday life is like there. 4. The hotel has less than ten rooms, which makes it possible to get to know well your fellow travellers.
• Fabrizio (9/5): -
• Juan Carlos (10/5): Gracias por todo!!! - Todo increíble, la atención del personal, desde el dueño pendiente de todo desde antes de la llegada hasta todo el staff para hacer lo más cómodo tu estancia. Además, te organizan las excursiones con su propio barco y personal, el chico super atento para lograr el objetivo de la excursión. A parte, el alojamiento está muy bien, hotel limpio, habitación cómoda y amplia. Recomendable 100% Cosas a tener en cuenta, más que no gustarme. Es una isla local, por lo que no es esa idea de isla paradisíaca que te venden, pero a mí no me importó porque era lo que quería. Por otro lado. El todo incluido, no es lo que suelo entender por todo incluido, más bien es un Pensión Completa, ya que la comida es por menú tienes que ir encargando en cada comida, no fue un problema porque la verdad que te ponen lo que quieras y las cantidades muy bien, pero no es buffet y no tienes acceso a bebidas y snacks continuos, tampoco esperes alcohol, no tienen. Igualmente la comida está tan buena y el servicio es fantástico, asique no fue un inconveniente.
• Emmanuel Yaw (10/5): Price/quality ratio is really perfect can highly recommend. - We had a wonderful stay at the hotel . ->Located close to the beach 7 min walk 1. There is list of activities you can pick from -> one activity was given to us for free. It’s very convenient that transport is provided to and from the boat. Activities are video filmed with go pro so we could actually have our videos of swimming with turtles filmed. 2. Breakfast, lunch dinner can be eaten in the hotel directly and staff is really friendly always going extra mile to accumulate extra wishes from guests. For breakfast for example 6 option was given to select from. 3. Room with AC and cleaning was provided daily.
• Juliane (10/5): - Tudo! Excedeu nossas expectativas.
• silvia (10/5): -
• Yuriy (10/5): - Очень приветливый персонал, помогает во всем. Вкусно кормили ( хотя завтраки скромные, но всего достаточно) Интернет иногда пропадал, но мне было не критично. В некоторых комнатах немного по сантехнике надо провести ревизию ( подкапывало из под мойки ) Пляж в 5-10 минут ходьбы- чистый, шезлонги есть, народу не много Если нужен релакс отдых- это то самое место Добираться из Мале на скоростной лодке 😁
• Camille (10/5): -
• Martino (10/5): - Tutto, veramente eccezionale, staff super disponibile. Nulla
• Camilla (9/5): - Right in the middle of the down, pick up and drop off on the jetty by the hotel. The staff was so helpful and nice, they helped us with boat tickets when we were in a pickle. We had the most amazing excursions with go pro footage. Dreams came true. The restaurant inside of the hotel was so convenient and we ate all our meals there. There was a really difficult guest staying here, who had unrealistic expectations. And we saw the staff interact with her with grace and patience. This place is absolutely wonderful and we would come back.
• Cristina (10/5): We will be back.. - Best service and one of the best local island 3* hotels in Maldives. The owner Rifath and all the hotel amazing staff make sure every guest is happy at all times and easily go extra mile to accommodate any request. Thank you so much for 12 amazing days with you on one of most beautiful Maldive local island Maamigili and breath taking Indian ocean. This beautiful local island provides everything needed for a very nice holiday, but it's not for the most fussy people, who are only used with resort style all inclusive vacations. The local island has lots of local shops with everything possible needed, a health centre, pharmacies, restaurants, etc and most kind respectful local island people and children towards the visitors. Very safe island, children waving nicely to visitors whenever passing by. Amazing culture.
• Evelina Ama (10/5): - Замечательный персонал и хозяин отеля. В номере было чисто. Нам все очень понравилос, Однозначно рекомендуем.
• QUENTIN (10/5): Kindness, great activities and great deal - People, service, kindness
• QUENTIN (10/5): Nice people, nice place, nice deal -
• Daniel (10/5): Było wspaniale:) - Spędziliśmy w tym hotelu 10 dni . Super właściciel i wspaniała obsługa. Jedzenie bardzo smaczne:) Dostaliśmy bez dodatkowych opłat apartament z widokiem na ocean. Świetne wycieczki! Bardzo dziękujemy ☺️
• Dana (9/5): - Výlety , potápění , moře, velice vstřícný personál 😍 Velmi slabá wifi, slabší snídaně ( pokaždé toust , vejce , párek … na různé způsoby) uvítali bychom v této lokalitě zeleninu , ovoce , sladké …. prostě různorodé 🌴
• Desiree (10/5): Goeie service - Top service Maamagili niet echt of geen vakantie eiland meer een tussenstop voordat je naar je eiland gaat
• Oiumaa (9/5): - Отдыхала с детьми 15 дней. Номер на крыше (люкс) был прям комфортным для пребывания, убирались каждый день, меняли полотенца, постель также каждый день. Персонал отличный, очень чуткий. Брали пакет все включено, три раза в день кормили по меню, очень вкусно, порции огромные. Пляж находится в минутах 10 ходьбы, если попросить персонал, то спокойно довозят туда, и забирают в оговоренное время, либо по звонку. Ездили на экскурсии на черепашек и китовую акулу, было супер, и черепашек и акулу нам удалось повидать.
• matteo serventi (10/5): - Tutto molto bello, lo staff è gentilissimo, ti accontentano in tutto. Si mangia molto bene e le escursioni sono molto belle
• Viktor (10/5): Wonderful place with nice employees. They fulfill all our asks in the most nicest way - Personnel was so nice and addressed all asks
• Cosmin (10/5): - I like all
• Bobir (10/5): -
• Ali (7/5): Friendly homey hotel - Hospitality was amazing Property was cozy and felt homey Staff was super helpful and very nice and friendly. Food was decent but what made it great was the service I guess it’s my bad I didn’t imagine that the hotel doesn’t see the sea. The full island is a little bit lower in standard than other islands such as MALE and MAFOOSHI islands for example. But this hotel is the best in that area and definitely the best service Nothing to do at night in the full island so not the fault of the hotel.
• Carina (10/5): Stay here for the wonderful staff! Thank you again for a truly special experience, Koimala. We hope to return some day - Excellent staff. Nothing.
• Emma (10/5): Extremely friendly and helpful staff in a lovely hotel. Definitely a place to recommend. - Staff went out of their way to ensure we had everything ,and more , that we needed. Very accommodating to changes in our schedule. Food excellent. Very friendly. Just for future reference...We were advised to get a taxi in to male to get the fast taxi boat but infact it's first stop was the airport so we could have saved the taxi fare and standing in the heat!
• Alina (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing people working in the hotel - friendly, open to any comments / suggetions, proactively ready to help. We were offered a room upgrade and a complimentary excursion during our stay. We took full package with breakfast, lunch and dinner - everything that we have ordered were fresh and tasty.
• Colette (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great stay at this budget-friendly hotel in the Maldives. The staff were a real highlight—super friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile. The excursions offered were fantastic, especially the whale shark snorkel trip, which was an unforgettable experience. While the hotel is located in a town that's still under development, it didn’t take away from our enjoyment. All in all, a great value stay with warm hospitality and memorable adventures!
• Jeremy (4/5): So disappointing - I was relocated to another property of the same owner due to overbooking even though I had my reservation for a long time. The new property was all the way on the opposite end of the island away from everything. Communication was terrible. It took days to get a response to my questions before my arrival and there was virtually nothing throughout my stay. I had to walk across the island to the original hotel just to have a simple question answered because the 1 staff member at the property I was in could never be found. I booked a tour with the hotel for the next day but it had to be canceled due to weather; understandable. But I was never informed. I sat waiting for my pickup forever. Again, when I messaged about it, I got no response. The only good I can say is that the mattress was really comfortable.
• Damian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yating (10/5): Exceptional - + Excellent hotel! The staff is friendly, everyone is very helpful, smiling, they respond immediately to requests. The rooms are spacious, beautiful, modern, all accessories are available (tooth brushes, pasta, gels, shampoos, hair dryer, beach towels). The food is excellent! Big choice, everything is delicious. We had full board The beach is in 10 minutes on foot. If you wish, you can make use of the shuttle service at your convenience. But we liked to walk. Excursions were also booked at the hotel. We met a whale shark, we caught big fish, which we were prepared for dinner on request. The successful location of the island, on the state ferry, went to see other islands. Everything is great, thanks for the hospitality!.
• Lesley (9/5): Superb -
• Babayev (10/5): Exceptional - I likes so much this hotel because the staff very helpful and manager Rufath help me for each case I applied. Choosing this hotel you will spend your vacation very colorfull and please join all entertainment which they offer especially whale shark snokerling because Ripon will do his best for you just you see more than others. Hope will meet again my dear friends!
• Marrydel (10/5): A great experience and worth coming back - Very accessible to everything and everywhere Nothing. People are nice and Place is great
• Babita (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jasmine (10/5): The real Maldivian experience - This is an exceptional hotel at an affordable price! The staff here are all incredible, kind and welcoming. Nothing is too much for them and you will most definitely be treated as family. We had breakfast included with our booking which was tasty, served with fresh juices and coffee. We also had lunch here most days which was fresh and 10/10. Shout out to Rifath and his team at the hotel for your exceptional service/ hospitality and a big shout out to Ripon who was our number one guide, super knowledgeable of the island/ surrounding areas and the best photographer!!! The hotel is a very short work away from the beach and has shops, restaurants, a pharmacy, dentist and medical practise near by. Everything you need is within walking distance. The rooms are super clean and the beds are very comfortable. If you’re looking for the full Maldives experience, save your money on 5* star resorts and stay with Koimala Hotel in Maamigili. They have the best team who will help you see the true beauty of the Maldives including whale sharks, manta rays, turtles, coral reefs and much more. Thank you Koimala Team - we will be back! ⭐️ Everything was perfect
• Marek (9/5): Superb - The staff members are amazing.
• Marjana (10/5): Exceeding all expectations - We had the most amazing stay at Koimala. Everyone is super helpful and friendly, always doing their best to make the guests as happy as possible. Never experienced such a lovely team in any other accommodation, Koimala definitely sets the bar incredibly high. It was our first time in the Maldives and we couldn't have chosen a better place to spend our dream holiday at. Thank you so so much for an unforgettable stay, we will do everything we can to come back!
• Beth (10/5): Exceptional - We had the best time. The staff were 100% dedicated to the clients and tourism. The check-in transfers, room, food hospitality, and reef trips were 10 out of 10. The food was great and filling. You will not go hungry Great modern clean rooms. The staff all go above and beyond.If you come to this island, this is the place where you need to stay.The staff are dedicated to their jobs and their beautiful island. Bikini beach a 10 minute walk or 1 minute with hotel transport. Nothing is too much an effort. Special thanks to Rifath and Ripon Subbe and Kanchan and the rest of the team for their organisation, professionalism, knowledge, and hospitality.We will be back. If you want whale sharks and reef interactions, this place is the best. Nothing
• Şerafettin (10/5): We had a dream holiday thanks to the hotel staff - The hotel staff was very helpful. The hotel location is very close to bikini beach. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The food was filling and fresh. You can make a reservation without worry. Nothing
• Ricardo (10/5): We had an unforgettable stay! amazing staff, delicious food, a beautiful place, and a dreamy beach that made it all perf - We had an amazing stay! The staff was fantastic, especially the manager, Mr. Rifath, who was always super attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. We loved the food, especially the ‘Pririni’ dessert and the pasta dishes. The place is beautiful and so welcoming. Truly an unforgettable experience! I truly recommend to everyone. Believe me, you will not regret it! Just the small bed.
• Luca (10/5): Nice stay in Maldive - The staff is very helpful
• Inna (10/5): Dream of Maldives - It is a very welcoming stay with a nice dining terrace. They take care of their guests so much. Very friendly people. The food was delicious, it was so freshly and nicely cooked for us. We ordered the excursions as well. While snorkeling, we saw Manta Ray, dolphins, mini black riff sharks, and lots of different fish. Maamigili island is located 2 hours from Male, 110 km. With the good weather, it is nice to get there on a boat transfer, but if the weather gets windy and rainy, it would be better to fly back with the airplane. And of course, absolutely turquoise beach they have, a dream of Maldives. I love the water colors of Maldive islands. The Indian Ocean is so chill there. It allows you to swim safely and snorkel.
