    Mold and bad smell in the room. Window in the shower (we had to put towel). Neighbors air conditioner very loud at night.

    Staff was really friendly and helpful. The yard and restaurant were so beautiful. The food in the restaurant was amazing. Location is excellent, close to the bikini beach. Also, the hotel is a part of the Triton hotels so we could go to white party or have dinner at Triton Prestige hotel for free.

    They asked for a high charge to bring a transportation to our next destination island Guradihoo, we have to arrange the transportation ourselves to overcome this.

    Good Buffet Breakfast and dinner with tasty Food, Traditional Maldivian house guesthouse, for me this was better than normal Hotels. Friendly staff. Hotel is near the beach. Hotel was providing free Sunbeds.

    The noise levels are unbearable. We could hear every word that our neighbours were saying through our bedroom wall, I went to ask them to ask the neighbours to talk quieter but the lady insisted that the noise came from across the street but it definitely was not, it was directly through the bedroom wall. The music from the sound stage across the park was also blasting really loudly until the early hours of the morning every single night. Had we known this, we would have booked on a quieter part of the island. We dreaded every night. We just felt like we didn't have any peace but if you can handle loud noises then this place isn't bad.

    The staff are amazing. Breakfast is included and it's quite good in comparison to some other hotels we have stayed at here in the Maldives. They offer really good day trips at affordable prices. It's located 2min walk from bikini beach and they offer free deck chairs for the beach which is really good. The restaurant also offers a wide variety of choices at affordable prices. The AC works very well which is a blessing in the summer months.

    8.0 is your are demanding, 9.0 if you like to stay in an authentic cocoon. The hotel is lke a old-styles lodge with a nice and very popular terrace where is located a good restaurant, famous on the island for seafood. The room is simple and you shoudn't expect luxury but it is comfortable and with a decent equipment. I like that this is different from the modern hotel buildings you find elsewhere on the island. The transfer from the airport are reliable and they take good care of you and your luggage once you arrive to the island. The staff is particularly efficient and kind. If you want something authentic and cosy, this is surely the place you would like. Also to mention that the value for money is one of the best ones on the island. The public beach is 2 mn from the hotel and the bikini beach is 5 mn away.

    Bathrooms need upgrading cubical tiny if you was a bigger person would been an issue. WiFi really poor in the rooms.

    Really good stay at stringray rooms we're nice but bathroom could do with an upgrade. Breakfast was across the street but good some strange items on the menu though but they cook you fresh eggs also. Not bad as it included in the price. Jacuzzi wasn't working during my stay but only few min walk to bikini beach. To me maldives is almost paradise but without the alcohol. Food in hotel was really good and reasonably priced. The manager let me use the sister hotel infinitum pool for the day as was my birthday nice touch & a buetiful hotel.

    Bathroom should be renovated, shower is not so good, and window is open. Add some toiletries also.

    Location is perfect, staff is super friendly, welcoming and helpful, excellent breakfast (i recommend mexican break and ginger tea), nice atmosphere in the restaurant in the evenings, cute and quiet little rooms with ac and fridge, cleaning daily. Shark bay tour is more than worth it. I checked in earlier and had early breakfast for check out because of my flight, if you arrange boat ferry with them you don't have to worry about it, they are very well organized.

    What I didn't like: 1. One of the waiters who served our dinner was very rude and unapologetic 2. Some facilities (whose prices were included) like jacuzzi were out of order 3. The common outdoor sitting area could be better lit at night: The dinner felt too dim 4. Water had a bad smell because of some compound used for cleaning treatment

    Stingray Beach Inn is a beautiful and tranquil place: lots of trees, cute cats sleeping outside the rooms. Personally, I very much liked: 1. Reception staff: Ibrahim and one other guy in the reception were very friendly, it was nice to talk to them 2. The mattress: Wasn't extra soft, just the way I like it 3. Overall aura was relaxing and aromatic 4. Location is excellent: Bikini beach, souvenir shops, water sports are all very close 5. Dinner was tasty: I tried the Maldivian chicken curry and it was amazing

    The bed is way too hard. A soft topper can do a lot. The rooms are not really soundproof. Things happening outside or in the rooms next door could be heard.

    The hospitable reception and the not so formal environment. It's homey.

    This stay almost destroyed our stay in Maledives. The guesthouse is located in the middle of the construction site, operating 24/7. The workers were pomping concrete at 3 am. There was no window, no garden view as stated in the offer. The room was dark and mouldy. The bathroom so mouldy, broken mosquito net, insects in the room. And we were there with a 3 year old child. We did not sleep for 2 nights at all, so we ask for an early check out. The receptionist after consulting a manager agreed to cancel our stay and refund the remaining 12 days. We changed the hotel and then some other manager sent us a message that he won't refund us! After our check out and paying for another hotel. After looooong negotiations, the guesthouse decided to charge us for 5 days (we stayed 2) and to pay back for 9 nights. However, after 1 month, the guesthouse still did not pay the money back! Not even a cent. And they charge over 110 USD per night!

    Unfortunately the hotel says: room with a view to the garden and the reality is that there is NO garden at all. The rooms have no window, they are dark and old. The bathroom is tiny, the shower pretty terrible. Not worth it for almost 100 dollars per nigth.

    The hot water in the shower seemed to go on and off but not a big deal, it's so hot day and night anyway.

    The hotel is part of Tritan Hotel & Spa which is 20metres away. So you are able to use their pool and if you have any breakfast or dinner booked you will be eating at the Triton Hotel. Location The hotel is well located on the street behind bikini beach. Nothing is far on Mafuushi island anyway but this was perfect for us. Plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. Staff Very helpful and accommodating. We were able to check in early and there was always someone on hand at reception. Activities They have a range of tours available for each day which you can book and these are brilliant. Sun Loungers Instead of paying $5 a day to the beach reps Stingray provides these free of charge for you to use on bikini beach. Nice little bonus. Room Big room with private bathroom. Comfortable bed and clean. The staff even wrote a message for us on the bed in bamboo leafs.
