Guest Reviews
- Abdulla (7/5): - It was a great experience
- Giusy (6/5): Carino - La posizione vicino all’aeroporto
- Annemieke (7/5): -
- Michal (1/5): -
- ROSARIO (8/5): -
- Tatiana (9/5): - Отель предлагает очень хорошее соотношение цена/качество, удобно расположен, пляж через дорогу, рядом улочки с кафе и магазинами, до аэропорта 7 км всего. В номере есть всё необходимое, удобная кровать, ванная комната, кондиционер, сейф, тв, фен. В стоимость проживания входит завтрак и трансфер из/в аэропорт. Очень отзывчивый персонал, ребята большие молодцы, хорошая команда. Умеют слушать и выполнять пожелания клиента. Насекомые в номере, стройка рядом. Но я была в курсе этого изначально.
- Asif (7/5): -
- Christian (2/5): Dissapointed - I would say the location is the best part Room was not good, Not clean, sheets was dirty, covers ripped, dust around, water in the shower very low pressure, mold smell in the room, tiny stairs to go up with your luggage
Water free but in a Voss bottled that has been refilled,
Time in Airport waiting for the transfer was too long and un organized
- Сергей (10/5): - Не плохой отель, если вы задержались в Мале. Не ждите чудо и супер удобств
- Flemming (8/5): Dejligt sted - Behagelig personale Der var ikke varmt vand
- Azzurra (5/5): - Posizione ottima, vicino al mare Purtroppo nella nostra stanza non c'era l'acqua calda
- Sandrine (8/5): Good hotel with efficient staff - The hotel is good, near a public beach, not far from the airport. The staff is helpful and welcoming. The breakfast needs to improve though.
- Eudald (5/5): Me estafaron con el precio me cobraron el doble - Te estafan , en booking un precio y cuando llegas al hotel, ahi te cobran el doble. Muy mala atención el chico de recepción
- Venture13256948216 (10/5): It's was massive and historical - My Trip was indeed a historical experience for a lifetime.
Most especially the resorts and snorkeling it was seeing my dream come true. Because during my teen age I could only see this on Dstv.🤣🤣🥰
Mr. Kawsar's, Mr Badhal hospitality left me speechless. After my daily Actives. I had to move around to tour the place.
But they could make sure they asks me if am fine or I need anything. I didn't take it for granted.
Thanks once again. I can't see you see with my family.
Thanks for everything Turquoise Residence
- chrisliewy (10/5): Beautiful Maldives - I find the rooms and surrounding areas are clean. Service is good especially given by Badhal, Kawsar and Dipo. Food is good and I specifically like the services given by Badhal, who willingly help me when needed and also advise us on places to visit
- Linda (6/5): Easy, cheap, place to freshen up - Had a late flight so needed a place to rest and freshen up. Lovely staff, they collected us and dropped us back to the airport which is about 10-15 minutes away.
Plenty cafes around the hotel and 30 seconds walk to the beach. Was perfect for what we needed and very reasonable price
- Betsy Puiman (10/5): - Breakfast is good, all staffs are really helpful and friendly! Even we arrive at midnight 1 am, an airport staff helped us call the hotel, they immediately send the free shuttle to pick us up. They’re doing beyond their scheduled last time 11 pm which is really helpful. Communication is very effective. The room is clean. We really enjoy the service.
- Beda (4/5): - Didnt reflect photos shown of property, bad bedding, very small room with no view good transport alrhough they couldnt fit our big bags in even though emailed in advance saying we have surfboards. Poor breakfast selection
- Glenna (8/5): Very good - very good location
- Christine (10/5): Fine for overnight - Stayed one night due to late arrival flight before heading off the local island. Hotel was suitable for this purpose. Staff are helpful. Hotel a bit dated, but in neat and tidy condition. Would stay again and it is very close to the beach and food places nearby.
- 432azmia (10/5): What an amazing stay. - The hotel is very nice and very welcoming. The staff are friendly and helpful in all areas of service throughout the stay. Mr kausar is very good at keeping his work 👏 at the café. The adventure trip organised by the team to the island plus snorkeling with the stingray is amazing. We have a lot of fun. What an amazing trip!
- Darren (6/5): Good location. - Great location, only a few steps from the beach and the shops, cafes and restaurants in the area. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Was not told upon arrival that if I wanted the room serviced I need to hand in my keycard each morning, only found this out by asking after three days. Really good that fresh water was available 24/7. Breakfast was very limited. Bed was uncomfortable. No storage space in the room - if two people were staying in the room you'd be living out of a suitcase. Okay, but expensive for what it was.
- Samantha (8/5): - The staff are the best part of this hotel. They were so pleasant and accommodating. Shout out to Rehman ( think spelling ok) for lovely service. The transfer service to the hotel for pick up and drop off was great.
The property itself is what you pay for but we used this as a base to get to the airport easily instead of worrying about speedboats before a flight.
Only thing I could improve is soap in the bathroom would be useful.
- Oonagh (4/5): - No sprinkler system. Poor fire escape. 2 small windows opened onto small ledges. I was very worried for my safety if there was a fire.
- Ruggero (8/5): - Buona struttura
Personale molto gentile
- birgitta (8/5): Bra läge - Bra service särskilt transfer service. Läget var också bra.
Rummet var rent men behövde uppfräschning precis som hela hotellet.
Bilderna var inte överens med verkligheten.
- Joe (8/5): - Stayed here as an overnight stay for airport access after a week on other islands. Booked a superior double via Expedia. Hotel is very basic but does the trick. Getting the free transfer at the airport was very easy. Quick drive, friendly driver. Check-in easy enough & staff very helpful. I stayed half board & dinner was a very generous portion of Indian food. Breakfast was also South Indian style. Lots of locals come to watch cricket on the big screen in the restaurant. Room was very basic but works well as AC & fan are perfect for cooling down & the shower is refreshing. No hand soap so carry sanitiser. There’s tea, coffee & water in the room plus a fridge & a safe place too which is useful. International TV helps too. The beach is right across the road helpfully & it’s not strict on dress code. It’s a teetotal area but lots of great smoothie & coffee bars around to keep you refreshed. The WiFi works great in the room, less so in the restaurant/road.
- Mads (8/5): Pleasant stay near airport - Pleasent staying the night in the hotel before flying back. Nice room with all we needed - close to the beach and many different restaurants. Helpful and service minded staff - the transfer chaufer guided us well avout the island and area.
- sarah (6/5): - Room was tired and dark, some lights not working.
Floor was dusty, do feet were filthy after walking round room bare footed.
The included breakfast was cold spicy rice, cold hardboiled egg, sluced white bread and bright red jam.
As a, comparatively, cheep hotel for 1 night OK, but would not want to spend more time there
- N296INemiliab (2/5): Scammed by staff member - Room was fine, however airport transfer is supposedly included, but since we left before 7am we were made to pay for a private taxi for the two of us, but then they put another guest in with us without asking, who got to ride for free because we were forced to pay upfront. The way the guy sneakily made us pay before taking the taxi, shows he knew he was doing wrong.
- Bobby (6/5): - Hotel is old and the Delux room is small. No hot water and aircon wasn’t working. But the hotel staffs are very friendly and very helpful.
- Ratish (4/5): - Bedding smelly, overcharging for incorrect booking. Noise travels from other rooms and floors. Far away from anything interesting.
- Megan (10/5): - The staff was very helpful in arranging transportation, making sure I was able to get a breakfast & very personable.
- Helen (10/5): 4th March 2025 - Used for a one night stop over whilst waiting for an internal flight. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I pre booked airport transfers which ran on time.
- Michelle (2/5): - Staff were good but the cleanliness was awful we had cockroaches asked if room could be sprayed and they were on it straight away but there was cobwebs and dirt behind the fridge needed redecorating and wasn’t as the pictures on site didn’t stay the whole night as could not sleep in a place so bad ! been traveling around for three weeks and was the worst place in my life that we have ever stayed!
- Jonny (4/5): Terrible hotel - fantastic staff - Arrived at 0045 after a difficult flight, very difficult to find, no taxi drivers know the address, almost invisible sign outside the hotel. Longing for a shower and a bed, no towels in the room! check-in closed. The next day I find out that all the towels are gone because it's raining in the rooms! Not just ours where you even get rainwater on your face when you're in bed! The towels are used to soak up rainwater on the floors. Good staff but something must be wrong with the management. choose another hotel.
- Rahma (10/5): - Great
- Malgorzata (9/5): I recommended the place to stay - It was good location , close to a beach. The breakfast was provided, The staff was friendly and helpful.
- Muhammad (1/5): Bad - Not good
- AdelaideFamilyof5 (6/5): Served its purpose - We booked through Bookings.com which included transfers and 'buffet' breakfast.
On arrival into Male we saw the sign that had our name on it. We then had to wait by the water for the actual driver to arrive. Took about 15min. Got in the car and our driver drove no more than 30km/hour. He was constantly on his phone and trying to find out how long we were there for and if we needed a driver. We did not feel that safe and was relieved to arrive at the hotel.
Our son was due in on a later flight and his booking was through Agoda as he booked later.
On arrival, when I asked the person checking us in about my sons room they said they had a booking but only had 1 room. It was quite late and I was not impressed. They offered us a room for my son in their 'other hotel' which was close by. We went back and forth but in the end we had no choice but to accept. At least out son had a room.
My husband went back with the driver to the airport to collect my son and on his return he said the driver drove in the same manner. 'Really not safe'.
We paid the US6 for the green tax which we were aware of but they did not charge our son.
The room is average but has good working air conditioning and the bed was comfortable. The location is close to the beach. There were only 2 power points and 1 was taken up with the fridge. The bathroom was modern and worked. In the morning when we opened the curtain, our view was of an air conditioner less than a meter away.
Very disappointed with the buffet breakfast. Bread, no toaster as they said it was broken, rice and boiled eggs. There was a bit of jam and butter. It did the job but definitely not what we know as a buffet.
Did it serve it's purpose? YES
Would we book again? NO
- Bibindas (1/5): Not satisfied - Nothing Not recommended, all are shabby and unclean
- M1792SKleew (10/5): Friendly helpful staff, decent place to stay - We received a great welcome from the staff who were really helpful with our travel arrangements. The hotel is basic but clean and good value for money, the area is ok with plenty of bars and restaurants and street food type establishments.
I would recommend for a night layover in Male.
- Vitaly (3/5): Poor - Very expensive price for this room
80 USD
plus we need to tax
Plus 6 dollars
I don’t know why
When we are going to the local island we don’t need pay
It’s strange
- Dionne (4/5): - The hotel needs renovation. Bathrooms are old and ugly. Breakfast wasn’t very good
- satznonit (2/5): Terrible hotel for family - EXTREMELY BAD HOTEL. If you're traveling with family. DON'T COME HERE!!
One staff while sending us back to the airport was the only kind and polite staff. The rest are rude and not helpful.
1. Very dirty room
2. NO WATER HEATER / HOT SHOWER
3. 4th floor room, no lift
4. Came right away to change room, fully booked it seems
5. Came an hour later, still cannot change room.
6. Can't find other room with a baby with me
7. Dirty toilet
8. Cockroaches in room
9. Sticky floor
10. Dirty towels
11. Molds everywhere.
12. Leaking water from toilet to room
13. Clogged drainage in toilet
14. TV not functioning
15. I even said I'm willing to go for smaller room without extra bed, even that they didn't allow.
Nothing works in this room
Note: Not sure about other rooms, The room in T1 (Terrace) would be the worse room i have ever seen in my life
- Carol (6/5): - Ok for night stay before flight. Did not like area. Airport pick up took over an hours wait but we were met and rep stayed with us
- 33huseyink (2/5): Be carefulll!!!! - The hotel smells urine. We payed before we see the rooms and 10 minutes later they refused to pay our money. Their manager did not care about us and did not listen us.
The pictures does not reflect the original rooms. There several mice’s are there in the hotel. So before you pay you shell see the rooms.
- 646t_layy (2/5): Terrible experience - We checked in for a 1 night stay for 5 people. However, the rooms were not like the photos. They were dirty and smelled of urine. In a 3 person room, 1 bed was made on the floor. When we saw the rooms, we did not want to stay and asked the reception to cut a certain amount and refund the remaining amount. However, no refund was made and they took the money for the service they did not provide. This is a fraudulent and low quality hotel. It is absolutely awful. We stayed at another hotel.
- sheng-tse (4/5): - No
- fran (4/5): - Al legar a la habitación había una cucaracha, nos cambiaron de habitación muy amablemente pero aparecieron otros 4 bichitos y otra cucaracha al día siguiente. El personal es muy amable pero el hotel está muy viejo y hay bichitos. La cama es cómoda y está muy cerca del mar eso si.
- Phanie (2/5): - Not good
- Mohamed (5/5): Passable - Location and cleanliness Toilet maintenance, TV and no garbage bin in the room
- Mubina (6/5): Not a good choice - I have no good words to write for this property's in the room. No cleaning of room in our four days stay. Electric current problem in the first room, had spent one night in another property
- Dmtiry (6/5): Pleasant - You get quite a good accommodation for the price paid. Would recommend it for a budget trip. Nice location, good access to beach and stores.
- Marieann (6/5): - We had cockroach in the bathroom. My husband lost his battery charger during our arrival.
- Romeo Koch (4/5): - Meget beskidt. Lugtede af vandskade, det dryppede også fra loftet på værelset.
- SERGIO (8/5): - Good location, excellent service, good to walk around
- Yasmin (8/5): Very good -
- Tulasa (10/5): - Everything was good,
- Dr-myk (3/5): Poor -
- gregorywE2603FX (8/5): Decent value for your money - Great staff, very attentive and were quick to help out with every request and or inquiries. The location was very convenient, about 15 minutes from the port and or airport. The room was okay. The bed is a bit out dated I’ll say. The room smelled like moth balls (mainly because of the moth balls under the bed) and the toilet seemed to leak. The electric kettle didn’t work as well but we didn’t make a fuss about it. The issue with the view was, well there was no view 😅 Thankfully we were only using the room to sleep, because the hotel offered excursions and we booked one almost every day we were there. Had one issue with an excursion (bad current, out of human control) but the staff was quick to get a refund. The “no bikini beach” was beautiful, but we didn’t frequent it as much as beaches elsewhere, mainly out of respect for the locals. Lastly, the breakfast was limited to the same 4 items every day, so I hope you like rice, white bread, apples and hard boiled eggs. Great coffee tho. All this being said, it was still a decent value considering you’re in the Maldives 🇲🇻 We highly recommend doing the “full fun adventure trip”…it was awesome, especially because the weather cooperated very well the day we didit. Another positive was they didn’t require payment for this excursion until the morning of, due to potential weather issues.
- MsMurmeli (10/5): Delicious breakfast & top quality service - We went to have a breakfast when passing by, had a tasty breakfast, just what we needed. The fresh apple juice was the best we've ever had! There was a plenty to eat, service was top quality, staff very friendly and helpful. Location was good too, near the beach.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Bed was hard. Breakfast was ok. Location was ok- dirty though. People are nice, 4/5 hospitality. Stairs are tight. Not enough lights in the room.
- Verano (2/5): Will never booked this property again! Not worth the money of every tourist. - First pick-up point in airport since we arrived as a group they have squeezed the guests to fit in the car, though we even take taxi instead going to hotel since they will not comeback. (Even if supposed to be included on what you pay for)
Second there’s no elevator in this property so be ready for a stairs specially if you will stay in 3rd floor (not recommended for elder guest or traveling with baby)
Third check in process was worst. Small reception the receptionist was totally confuse if you going to check in as a group or family.
Fourth room wasn’t up to date, it’s not clean as other properties (for the same room rate), the wash room will be too slippery when it gets wet and there’s no even floor mat (we have to asked for it). There’s a mosquitoes in the room (bathroom specifically)
Fifth the breakfast was a big NO. Can be better they don’t even offer water automatically (you have to asked for it) there’s no option for breakfast and the food wasn’t even hot feel it was like left over. Cut fruits is apple which is even already brown.
Overall for the room rate of this property that you will pay, you can even get to other hotel with much much better facilities, airport transport, breakfast and staff. Not worth the money!!!
- Ruchira (10/5): - This is a great location very close to the airport. We flew in during the night and needed to stay overnight near Male to catch the sea plane in the morning. The room was quite small but the staff are so friendly and helpful. They called to confirm the sea plane boarding times to make sure we make it back to the airport in time. As mentioned, the room is very small and limited in amenities but it's great for the value and it's a clean space.
- 91mahamj (10/5): Great experience - Our experience was excellent. The staff is very polite, professional and caring. The property is clean and safe.
Gentleman named Kawsar really took care of us at dinner time during our stay.
Would highly recommend anyone looking to stay in Hulhulemale.
- colin (10/5): - close to beach
- colin (10/5): - staff super helpful
- 507amina (8/5): Great fun - I was visited this place quite good and budget friendly. Nearest about white beach. Easy to access beach directly. Best for indian who are looking budget friendly hotels. Mr kawsar was to good. He is understanding what we need and get it done easily
- Getaway00776646532 (10/5): Excellent staff and excellent service .best experience.beautifull rooms.Hotel is very neat and clean.Very helpful and polite.# K - Best experience .all staff are very supportive and helpful. especially Kawsar,badal,navin, prafull are very excellent and tremendous staff.They made me feel like home.Its like an Indian trip.Very easy and comfortable.Turquoise is very good option to stay at hullumale.Its very neat, clean and heigne.Food was also very tasty.And breakfast was yummy.Mr.Kawsar gave best service at restaurant.Go for Turquoise hotel without any doubt.best staff and best service and very convenient I experienced
- D4939TOannc (10/5): Fantastic budget hotel - Fantastic budget hotel stayed there 9 days on a trip to visit local friends. The rooms are simple and clean staff all helpful and friendly. Breakfast simple but adequate. Don’t expect 5 star from a budget hotel you get what you pay for . Would definitely return . I have stayed in many 5 star hotels over the years travelling. I think some people expect to much from some small hotels who are doing their best . I am sure if I had any problems the staff would sort them out . One person mentioned handling key in to reception to get room cleaned. That is the way this hotel does it and should not cause any problems as once room is finished it is spotless . Thank you all for a lovely stay
- Maksim (6/5): For one night - It's OK, for one night.
Transfer to/from the airport The room is not in the best condition
- Ali (2/5): I would never recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. - The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I literally liked nothing about this hotel. Everything starting from food to room service was very poor. There were no elevators, no buffet, however it is claimed to be a 3 star hotel.
Only Plain rice and meat stew was served in dinner. It was not value for money
- Hussain Mostafa (6/5): - The day i came there was no one at the airport even at the counter c11. I had to call them with support from other. Receptionist was not professional, friendly which is the key. There was no eskelator and breakfast is so basic. Room is tiny and very basic. Not value for money. Tour package couldnt organize as per list and i had to go outsourcing. Price charged for.adventure was higher than outside. I told that i will checked out at 11 am the time i chwcked in but day before i out they sent an text asking my out and telling 7 am or 8 am etc even i have mentioned 11am begining. Overall, except lolit, Sandip and breakfast serve guys found very well communucated and friendly rest found like not customer focus. Receptionist should be frienly well communicated and smiling which is totally absent. Owner should consider those factor to improve customers satisfaction
- Ajanthan (8/5): GREAT LOCATION - The location and friendly staff Better to pay in USD than MVR and that they have to inform which is the best currency to pay.
Breakfast they should improve better with more choices
- 587matthiasv (6/5): Ok for a short stay - Good location, rooms are ok. Staff is slowly. Breakfast is a nightmare. If you want your room to be cleaned, you must present your roomcard to reception. Never ever faced that before.
Next time,I will stay at a different location.
- Bruce (10/5): - great staff that was attentive and helpful
- Denise (9/5): great value for money, thankful for the transfer and the breakfast - location, friendly staff no elevator, my room was great but my friends had no hot water
- Daniel (10/5): Good value for money - Free transfer from the airport, decent location and good value for money. Staff were lovely, room was fairly clean. Fine for an overnight stay.
- lulul969 (10/5): Single traveler, safety, cheap, quality services, clean, - Hi, all!
I stayed at Turquoise Residence by UI between April 14-21. The hotel is 10 minutes from the airport, the daily departure point to all the islands, clean, safe, near the beach where you can swim but respecting the dress code on the island of Male is different from the resort islands, friendly staff. I travel alone, woman, the area is absolutely safe, shops around. I felt at home here. Everything was perfect. together, with the reception staff, I prepared my holiday, which consisted of excursions and many day passes to the resort. I warn you that a trip prepared by them costs $60, you can find the same trip at other tour operators for $499. So yes! I recommend UI. I'm sure UI will be my choice again next time. Thank you all for your patience with me! I recommend everyone to choose UI.
- Anna (4/5): Disappointing - the room is very dark
- phenex80 (4/5): Decent Overnight Stay at Turquoise Residence by UI - During our recent travels, we had a brief one-night stay at Turquoise Residence by UI while waiting for our flight. The room was clean and featured a coffee table with two seats, as well as a working table, providing all the essentials for a brief visit.
The only drawback we encountered was the lack of adequate lighting in both the room and the bathroom.
- Paulina (8/5): - The room was very clean, tidy and the bed was very comfortable.
We had to wait for our transfer which was a shame but the staff were very polite and helpful
- helenamH2652KQ (8/5): Great budget hotel - This is an affordable Hotel with the friendliest staff you will find. The rooms are adequate enough. Air conditioning, kettle, fridge, and TV in the room. The mattresses and pillows can do with freshening up. The bathroom did smell a bit on one of the days we stayed but it was attended quickly by the staff and it didn’t ruin our stay. Asked for extra pillows and it was not a problem. You have to ask for your room to be cleaned if you prefer. But if you’re on holiday, having a staff not knocking on your door in the morning for your room to be cleaned is actually peaceful 😊.
The hotel itself has so much potential. Great staff and very helpful.
If we are back in Maldives, we will definitely stay here again. Hulhumale is peaceful and you connect more with the locals.
- Ariana (8/5): Very good - The convenience of dinner and breakfast, and airport drop off
- Dina (3/5): Poor -
- Janice (5/5): Passable -
- Sacheen (8/5): Very good - The staff were fantastic and you can't beat the price for accommodation, transfers and breakfast. Very easy location for wandering and finding food. The rooms are very basic, but comfortable enough and the AC works well.
- Kamai (2/5): Never again at tis hotel - Staff is pleasant and cheerful. Breakfast so so and Location ok for one night. Thank God ! Room was terrible.
Bed sheets not that clean. Yellowish and Stained
Toilet … omg …. Cannot describe
Hot water on and off when shower
Seriously not recommended at all at tis hotel
Seriously need to upgrade
- Milan (5/5): Passable -
- Manoj (8/5): Very good -
- Anonymous (1/5): Bad - hate it
- Julie (7/5): Good for an overnight visit -
- Muhammad (6/5): Good value for short transit, but make sure your transfer time is within their schedule - They provide transfers from and to airport and they were able to pick us up even when our flight is quite late, however we didn't expect that the transfer is only available after 7AM, meanwhile our seaplane is very early. fortunately the staff were able to help us with a taxi to get to the airport.
The breakfast is quite basic with bread, jam, butter and egg and they'll offer you coffee and tea with masala, we didn't try the dinner because we already ate outside.
The staffs also mostly very friendly and served us with smile. Our room is in the third floor and there's only stairs.
Only one big refillable bottle is provided in the room, and you need to go down and climb the stairs again to refill it, although the staff was kind enough to help in our case when we didn't bring our bottle down.
- Alan (7/5): Good - Close to the airport and they have transfers. The staff are all nice and friendly. When you have a shower the water goes everywhere on the toilet because there are no shower glass or curtains.
- Vilma (5/5): Paper thin walls - your sleep depends on your neighbors - The people working here are friendly and mean well, try to help. We did get the complimentary transfer from and to the airport which was the main reason we booked this place The walls are paper thin and you hear everything. If people next door are talking, watching tv, opening and closing the door, going to the toilet, if their alarm goes off - you will hear everything, like it's happening in your room. We didn't have good rest at all and were constantly woken up by our neighbours. The bed sheets and blankets were very old, possibly older than me.
The staff means well but are not reliable. The man at the reception confirmed 3 times that we get shuttle to the airport at 6:30 am. We set alarms, got down on time only to be told the shuttle will be here at 6:45am and then we only left at 7am. We were very stressed and almost missed our flight, came to the gate when they were boarding already. Not a nice end of vacation.
- Martyn (10/5): Great place to stay overnight, whilst waiting for flights back to UK. - Very good local curry. Room was very clean. Staff all very friendly. Transfers were on time, both ways. Nothing
- Mohammad (1/5): They force to check out before my time 0900hrs - Location They did not provide my room as per booking was done.
- Konstantinos (6/5): - No hot water. Shuttle bus not every hour. No elevator. Breakfast and dinner was good. Staff tried their best.
- Hakan (1/5): Bad - Nothing All
