“My stay was marred by poor service here. Staff: lack of proactivity & no smiles. I had to follow up with the reservation team for seaplane arrangements, but Shanna, never read my questions carefully. Her responses felt scripted and unhelpful, which was incredibly frustrating. I eventually had to call the hotel directly to request a manager’s assistance. The dining experience was also disappointing. The food quality was subpar, with a menu primarily consisting of Indian dishes and only a limited……
“The staffs are nice. The room is clean but quite a lot insect in the lagoon villas. The environment is perfect.The food is excellent. The service and arrangement is nice.
The only bad thing is that the Chinese mainlanders and the babies are very noisy.”
“Der Aufenthalt in dem kleinen Hotel mit 10 Zimmern an dem gepflegten Sandstrand lässt sofort Urlaubsfeeling aufkommen
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Wir haben die Aussicht, den blütenweißen Strand sehr genossen und uns in den 14 Tagen super erholt Auch an verschiedenen Ausflügen haben wir teilgenommen Sie waren sehr gut organisiert und das Personal war sehr engagiert
Alles in Allem ein perfekter Urlaub für uns

“This is a rare find and we felt very privileged to stay here. The island is a locals island and felt like a real Maldivian experience. As advertised, you can dive 3 times each day which is amazing. The staff are all incredibly lovely and kind. The rooms are perfect for what you need with air con and good Wi-Fi. The food was plentiful and really tasty. If you’re up for an adventure and don’t feel the need for a polished version of the Maldives then this is the place to be. Cultural appropriation……

“Banyan Villa is a wonderful place to stay! I really enjoyed my time there and the very homey feel of the villa. The staff, especially Husnee, Ashraf and Habib are all so incredibly friendly, accomodating and I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The villa was very clean, the food was wonderful, very healthy and so fresh. Thank you to all the staff at Banyan Villa for making our stay in Dhangethi so wonderful and memorable! We will definitely be back! ”

“the service make me feel very angry because when I go to have breakfast.The waiter push me away from my table twice and not polite.when I go back to room .the bottle water is not provide for the last day.Is bottle water very expensive?why not provide to customer?”
“Had a very nice, relaxing and pleasant stay. The employees are so respectful. With full love we would like to thank Dilip and Larissa for going the extra mile. Of course also the rest of the employees who were always there for us. We returned recharged and recommend everyone to visit this property. Be careful if you have difficulty walking, as getting on and off the boat can be difficult. Pool attached to the house was amazing and the cleaning was great.”

I eventually had to call the hotel directly to request a manager’s assistance. The dining experience was also disappointing. The food quality was subpar, with a menu primarily consisting of Indian dishes and only a limited selection of international cuisine, which did not cater well to us. Also, the attitude of Raha staff - Zar, was rude, detracting significantly from our dining experience. Thankfully, the restaurant manager, Vineet, stepped in to address my concerns, and I appreciate his efforts to make things right. On a positive note, Yaseen was the first staff member to show genuine friendliness towards us. His warm demeanor helped alleviate some of the frustration we had experienced. The buggy service at the resort was poorly organized as well. Every time I called the reception for a pickup, the staff sounded robotic and rude, and we consistently had to wait for 10+ mins, which was a significant waste of time. Lastly, I want to extend my gratitude to Joyce, our host, who genuinely worked hard to improve our experience at the resort. Her efforts did not go unnoticed and made a difference in our stay. As a 5-star resort, there is considerable room for improvement and I would not recommend this resort."
