If you are looking for a luxurious hotel or resort, it definitely is not your cup of tea. but if you want wonderful local experience and heart feeling, it is the choice.

Afu, our captain and forever friend, has made our maldive experience special and warming. He has helped us with all possible trips and excursion at the island. The children loved him and his son was so cute. Very value for money.

The hotel is very well located in front of the beach. The meals are served in one of the best restaurants in town (DFC). I believe the best part was the employees, they were very friendly and attentive solving any requests we had.

Immediately after the booking reservation the manager contacted us to arrange transportation and have everything ready prior to our arrival (made reservations almost 3 months before the arrival). The manager named Aful was really friendly and happy to help is with everything, like external activities such as snorkeling and even if we didn't order, a taxi was waiting for us at the airport when we have arrived or leaving:) The accomodation doesn't have a restaurant inside the place but it's like 2,3 min by foot from the place where we have eaten every day. We didn't choose lunch in the final price because we also wanted to go somewhere else on the island to try other things too (not expensive at all, like normal prices and we are from Croatia). The reason why we have chosen this island was because it is really small local island to stay 3-4 days and only relax :) not to mention that even if we have gone to South and the capital, the island Dharavandhoo has the most beautiful and delicious fresh juices (pineapple, watermelon, papaya, mango, passion fruit, lime, orange, well everything hehe :)) P.s. As this is the local island people eat here more spicy food then compared to some other islands which are more touristic ones. P.p.s. they will always accept their local currency but they accept dollars or credit, trully recommending to have Revolut! -> fyi: 1 dollar is 15 Maldivian rufiyaa in the North whilst 10 in the South,so be sure to check prior to paying.

Stay here make me feel like home

It's not due to the hotel, but it's better to take in account that: - the island is very calm ( no activities, shoppings or bars open in the late evening) BUT good if you want a total escape!

VIOLET INN is located in a small island named dharavandhoo. It's a calm island but a perfect spot to dive, visit inhabitants Island or sandbanks. The owner and hotel manager (Mubeen & Mubeen) will help you as from your arrival until the departure. They organise the transfer by boat or by plane. The excursions are done individually so that we can take the most of it. We also thank Naji for the daily cleaning and his kindness. They made our stay a great one. The stay would not be complete without the good food at the hotel's café& restaurant. It is run by a good cooker and her girls. I recommend you to take the all in option as there are not many restaurants in the area and this one is very good. Thank you for this amazing holidays! BILAL & HOURIA Ps: if you don't like big resorts and want to meet real Maldivians, it's the right place.

I honestly would've given this place a 5/5 rating because there were many great perks (refer above). However, I arrived at 12:00PM (check in start) and instead of having me wait while they deep cleaned, the housekeeper let me check in to my room where I found pee on the toilet still, hair in the sink, an eye booger STILL ON THE PILLOWCASE (honestly have pictures), dark hairs on the bed and pubic hairs on the floor near a gross yellow mark. I mentioned it to the housekeeper who did the bare minimum and didn't even offer to change my sheets. I covered the pillow with a clean shirt and slept in long pants and slept with the sheets folder over as an extra layer of protection because I was so grossed out. I didn't change rooms b/c I only had a few days on the island and there weren't many options left last minute. The manager did offer 1 night free because he was not happy to hear about my experience and did apologize and was nice about it but I honestly have never been somewhere that didn't value cleanliness and I travel a LOT...I don't need anywhere special, as long as it's safe & clean, I am happy. Honestly would've been a great stay if not for the cleanliness issue

Good location near the harbor/restaurants. I am glad the manager tried to make things right about my issue (refer below) and offered a free night. Comfortable bed, hot shower, felt safe as a female solo traveler, kitchen area.

We found several cockroaches in the toilets. We knew this wasn't a resort and we weren't expecting that either, but is never nice to see cockroaches in a hotel. Keep in mind they don't clean the rooms while you are staying there. The breakfast and dinner was good but there's no variation., you can't choose much.

The location of the hotel is really nice, considering is a small island, but still you are very close to the bikini beach. We did a great tour with the team from the hotel, they were super nice

Very nice, clean and beautiful place. The room, service, food just an amazing! There is a DFC restaurant close to the place, also belonging to the same family business, it’s the best place in Maldives to have a memorable barbecue dinner. They have all types of excursions, Hanifaru bay is just 5 minutes away from here, so we joined the manta trip and saw 5 mantas on the cleaning station. Thank you very much for unforgettable vacation!
