    The staff makes the stay more memorable and feels like home. Hassan the guide and Abu the housekeeper are amazing!! They’ll help you with everything you need. Even the owner of cowry inn is awesome. We stayed at the rooftop of the inn and the view was breathtaking!! The breakfast was also good and tasty. We couldn’t ask for more. And fulidhoo… what can i say.. this island is all need when you are in maldives. Even tourist from other island and resort would come here to see stingrays and sharks. We dont even have to go anywhere because this island has everything!!

    We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Cowry Inn. The house is located in close proximity to a beach with great shade as well as the bikini beach. Our room was spacious, clean and calm. The food was also great. The staff is super forthcomming and just lovely. We did a snorkling trip which was amazing too. Shamal Hassan, thank you for being our people there, for all your kindness, all the chats, all the little details and for making our stay personal. It really made us feel welcome and we appreciate it very much. :) Iztok, Nada & the kids :)

    The only bad thing is that, unlike other hotels on the island, they do not convert EUR to USD which made us loose around 30€ paying in cash. We recommend bringing dollars or paying with card (even with the 4% charge it is cheaper). We think and it was a little too pricey, that is why we give a 9/10

    Great and spacious room with a wonderful balcony, right next to the bikini beach. Staff were incredible and always available, they make you feel like home. Room was cleaned everyday. We did a tour and it was great too!

    - the balcony door/window was not soundproofed, all the noise from outside can be heard. The sound of the nearby mosque was very audible - Bed was very hard, I could not sleep on it - Since this is a small, family-run accommodation, the kitchen is quite modest. We rather left it out.

    - The staff and owner was very kind, helpful. - Rooms and the building could be 4 stars, because of the quality of the materials. - Wi-fi was good

    Very good stay experience. When you check in, you will be asked to read the house rules, which include options such as keeping quiet. Thanks to this, the entire hotel is very quiet at night. In addition, I would like to praise the employee Hasan. He is a very friendly local employee. He will take us carefully and responsibly when we go snorkeling. A very pure and kind-hearted person who gives the impression that he treats you like a family member and wants to show us the most beautiful scenery. We will definitely stay at this hotel next time and hope to see you again soon

    This is a family operated small hotel. Extremly friendly and helpful. The daughter takes care of all travel arrangements very reliably. Mom is an excelent cook. If you are up for traditional dishes, here you go! Dad showed us the best places for snorkeling and how to crack a coconut without looking like a stupid tourist. I hope you get a feeling about the hospitality we received. The hotel is very close to the beach for sun bathing (bikini beach) and the reef for snorkeling. And more important: It´s located on the east site - far away from all noisy and smelling infrastructure. The bed rooms are well sized and the bath rooms are fine. We enjoyed our two full weeks intensively, relaxed very well, and have never been bored. If you are up for diving, don´t spend the money. Just grab your snorkel and enjoy the reef. You will see all nice sea life at your convenience.

    Excellent property. Very good service. The family managing this property is very cordial and friendly. They went out of their way to ensure that our stay is comfortable. Be it local excursions or the breakfast - everything was managed very professionally and didn't leave anything to be desired. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Fulidhoo, especially if you are visiting with family. Excellent experience!

    The Cowry Inn is a great hotel! As soon as you arrive you will be greeted warmly at the jetty and the suitcases will be taken to the hotel by the staff. The rooms are excellently equipped, clean, air-conditioned and very cozy. There is also a great fancy shared lounge with a couch, dining tables, chairs and a tea corner. It is located almost directly on the beach and within walking distance to everything else important. Communication with the staff is flawless and they do everything possible to make their guests happy. A guided tour of the island or feeding sharks and stingrays at the jetty? No problem! We also took part in a couple of snorkeling trips organized and hosted by the Cowry Inn. Every trip was outstanding and unforgettable. The crew was able to answer all of our questions about the sea creatures we saw. When snorkeling, great importance is attached to safety. The meals in the hotel were delicious! In summary I can say that this holiday was one of my best and the hotel and its staff made a significant contribution to this! Many thanks at this point! I will definitely stay at this hotel again on my next visit to Fulidhoo.

    some noise due to constructions in December, maybe is has changed since but ask before booking

    Extremely friendly staff, nice location and clean room, the AC not blowing air directly on the bed was appreciated as it allowed not to get ill. The island is perfect as it is not too crowded.

    If you're a light sleeper the mosque is very close to the guest house be prepared for the loud speaker noise during aazan early morning at 4:45 am .

    The family room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable with good bathroom with excellent shower. It's a family run place with kind owners . Breakfast was average for 7-12 dollars .
