    The owner and staff are extremely helpful. The suites have been newly renovated - they are comfortable (shower has hot water and great water pressure, A/C and fan works well, the foam mattress is on the softer side) and cleaned daily. Filtered water is also provided for free and having a breakfast buffet with coffee and tea was also a huge bonus. We were welcomed with a mocktail mojito and dinner, and you can also order lunch and dinner on site as well. Although there aren't refrigerators in the room when we were there, you can store drinks or other items in the ones on site. The internet works fairly well for a small island, although it wouldn't be reliable for video calls. There is also a free laundry service! The owner has a great connection for snorkelling and we'd really recommend doing any tours through them. The tour guide even provided us with really high quality video from our snorkelling tour for free! He'll also help with organizing transportation to and from Dhiffushi for a more reasonable cost than if you book through any online sites. It's really an incredible value and our stay has made us want to return to Dhiffushi!

    Excellent place! Staff were very accommodating, good on-site restaurant (Mondays have a Maldivian meal for guests). I was allowed to check-out late and the owner helped get my boat tickets. Highly recommended!

    Very helpful and friendly staff. Helped with everything. I felt very comfortable and taken care of. They also gave insight to local life. The food is amazing. Breakfast was always fresh and there were a lot of options. If I come back to Dhiffushi I will definitely stay at Nirili Villa again.

    No hot water which did not really bother me but prefer to have.

    Nice and tranquil place to stay. Right after you arrive to the island you are warmly welcomed to the hotel. They serve really delicious food, including fish and rice which I appreciate to eat every day. Great tours and surrounding areas. I would like to stay longer next time.

    This is just an excellent place!!! Starting from the performance of the staff (all without exception), ending with the cleanliness of the rooms and delicious food. We stayed at the villa for two weeks and not even the slightest problems arose during this entire period. The owner of the villa will answer any questions you may have or simply become an excellent interlocutor. The food is tastier than in the restaurants we have visited on the island, so I advise you to take at least half-board, as we did. The rooms are cleaned daily! Always fresh towels and bed linen. We were very pleased to stay at this particular villa. Huge thanks for our vacation.

    The array of restaurants and / or takeaway foods is limited and a bit more expensive than other islands. The local shops don't fully understand the industry and have get rich fast prices.

    The local host is absolutely fantastic in giving you all the information you desire and all the best local deals, whether you want to swim with the turtles or chase the dolphins. Great communication is paramount on any foreign country, and this is totally covered by the host! Would definitely recommend it to feel the local community and appreciate this small island where things are changing every year. It definitely has been one, if not my best, travel. It's worth every penny, and it's cheaper than most places.... PS... I almost forgot. The beach is 20 seconds away... basically, wake up, get your sorts and beach towel, and 20 seconds later, you're bathing in heaven! Amazing.

    One of the most priceworthy places I have ever stayed at! The room was very clean and fresh (newly renovated). It is very close to the beach. The owner is a local of Dhiffushi and knows the place in and out. He helps out with everything and books excursions for way cheaper than the larger hotels. While the facilities was well above expectations (really really good) for the price I paid, the service is what stood out the most.

    We stayed for a short period, because the place is fully booked they must build more rooms Add some of the excursions to the package for a full Maldives experience

    The host has a recipe for success in business. He is hands on. Hospitality at its best. The food was tasty and there was a lot to choose from the menu. We even asked for a Maldivian dinner experience, which was done and to top it up, the host joined us and took is through every dish which was prepared. We enjoyed not only the special dinner but all meals for everyday that we were there. We explored dishes we never had before and it was fun.
