    Maybe need a fridge in the room. Plus the quality of water in the bathroom seemed a little dubious. The bathroom also smelled a little, maybe due to beach-side location.

    Great location & beach-side vibe. Best on the island arguably. Very cordial & prompt staff.

    To them we may have been just guests but to us they were special staff. They are friendly and provide professional service. Samura's environment and guest room were wonderful enough to forget the Gillilankanpushi we visited more than 10 years ago.

    Nothing much to complain. They could improve the cleaning a bit more. That is all.

    You wake up at the beach with the sound of waves and sunrise... It was an amazing experience for us. All staff were amazing and made us feel at home. We appreciate them all. They were so helpful while checking in and out. Everything was arranged on time. The ambience was magical at the beach especially at night. If you want to visit Dream Beach, they provide free shuttle which was also appreciated.

    We actually liked everything!! As everywhere, please take a mask and earplugs if you like to sleep in the dark and without noise, because you sleep directly on the beach, and also kittens and mopeds can make some noise ;)

    We loved our room from the very first minute. It is spacious, very clean, the bed is perfect. The whole Samura Guesthouse is just great - the most lovely staff (especially Nur, thank you so much for everything!), good food, perfect beach right outside the window, lots of activities, and it was soooo quiet and relaxing when we were there. It's a perfect place to see and feel the real Maldives. I'm so glad we chose Thulusdhoo and not any random ressort. Everyone on the island is very nice and welcoming. Book this cosy and beautiful guesthouse as soon as possible before the island gets too crowded! Big hotels are already being built :( . The transfer by boat, organised by Samura, worked very well. Just a note: the boat to Thulusdhoo stops a little further to the right/outside the "main" waiting area of the airport.

    We had a few ants in our room, but I guess there is not much you can do about it so close to the beach.

    The room was beautifully furnished, spacious, and looked exactly like on the photos. The staff was really welcoming and took care of us beyond measure. We absolutely loved our stay at Samura! :)

    You are right on the beach, the location is just perfect. The rooms are beautifully furnished. The staff were so lovely and always there to help, and as there is a Coca-Cola factory on the island - free Coca Cola all day 🩵. We had the best time of our lives here, we stayed for 4 nights but it easily felt like over a week. Thank you Samura and especially Gede. We willll return one day!!

    Difficult to book excursions. Everything (except the room) needs to be paid cash in dollars (or EUR if you assume a 1 USD = 1EUR conversion rate). Lunch and dinner need to be booked in advance and there is a unique choice.

    Big rooms placed directly at the beach in a quiet atmosphere. Helpful staff.

    Tuto bene!

    We had amazing stay at Samura. The rooms are like they are on the photos, trust me! Samura is literally at the beach, so you literally wake up and you are have the breakfast at the beach. The beach at Samura is bikini beach with a view that I haven't seen in my life. It's like you are in the paradise! Every day at Samura is pizza day! At around 5PM you get pizza snack on the house, sometimes even samosa or local dish might appear! Breakfast comes with varying delicious fruits, pancakes and omelette. You can grab cold water, juice, cola or soft drink at anytime of the day free of charge! Samura also organizes dinner, a full meal course, but you have to let them upfront. The staff is amazing. I'd like to point out Gede that put himself available for any kind of inquiries on his WhatsApp. That's not sometime you see every day. He was available even afterhours for my question. He always had answers. He even managed to sort out a birthday cake on such small island! Wow, kudos! Amazing service we experienced from Bilal and his crew that were always around. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to remember all their names to mention them here. You can pay in cash, card or Stripe.

    Our stay at the Maldives couldn’t’ve been better. Thulusdhoo is such a nice island and Samura was a great accommodation. The location was fantastic and the ambiance amazing. The true cherry on top was the staff, such warm and welcoming people. We absolutely loved our stay!

    They give free pizza after 5pm, but the pizza could have been better than tomato and potato flavored. Also, the breakfast could have more options than eggs, bread and fruit.

    I had an emergency where I needed to exchange my Japanese yen for local currency. Nur was able to have local currency air dropped in same-day. He avoided a lot of pain for me and led to a smooth currency exchange. There are also many daily activities that are easily bookable there.

    It was noisy at night... Our room was next to a small local cafe and the clients were making loud noises and listening to music until very late at night. But it's not the hotel's fault...

    The staff was very helpful and kind and breakfast was very good. Our room was nice and big. The staff made complimentary homemade pizza every afternoon and my child loved that! It was yummy. Right in front of the beach!

    I think, Hotel should have freeze facility in room so that we can keep drinks and other cold item in the freeze. The reason for having freeze is because of weather is hot and in that weather we need cold water and cold drinks.

    There breakfast was perfect for me and my family specially having breakfast just beside the beach side was a different experience for us. Staffs are very friendly specially and very cooperative. I just love there service.
