    The property is in a fantastic location - on the beach and tucked away for peace and quiet. The owners are very welcoming and friendly :)

    That it’s a long way from Australia and we can’t visit more often.

    The property location and food was amazing. The managers were very welcoming, accomodating and super helpful. Chikaa, Julia and their staff made us feel at home and we will definitely coming back.

    It would be great to have a bigger bed (our double bed was 140cm wide I think and we slept with our daughter on it). It would be also nice if somebody would clean the beach (not only the garden) from rocks and water plants; however, I understand that it could be difficult to ensure this for a small guest house. It is good to mention that the standard (not ocean view rooms) have windows facing the corridor/reception only (inner rooms), so you have limited privacy; somebody can be OK with it, it is just to mention so that you know about it and choose the room, which you prefer. Otherwise, I loved it all!

    We loved our stay in Kahanbu Ocean View. It is a small guest house with only 4 rooms (two "ocean view" with garden/beach access and two inner rooms with windows to the corridor with reception). We had the ocean view room and most of our stay we were the only guests at the house enjoying the privacy and the great service. The room has direct access to the garden with sand, palms trees, hammocks. The garden ends at a very nice bikini beach with private sun beds for Kahanbu guests only. In from of the room is an outdoor shower and an outdoor toilette, which you can use when you are wet and dirty from sand from the beach - great! You have breakfast (including italian coffee) in the garden/beach in perfect shadow with the possibility to see dolphins from the beach. You can also order lunch or dinner (even private barbecue) with the guest house which is very tasty and also served there. Very romantic! Rashdu (receptionist and the cook) was amazing, helping us with any needs we had. He was very helpful, kind and flexible! Thank you, you made our holiday! There are hotels and other guest house when you walk the beach from Kahanbu, where you can also eat or have smoothie/mocktail/fresh coconut. Kahanbu has really a great position! The guest house can also organise a trip for you, although we did not use it for being unlucky with the weather and for having 2-years old daugher with us :). The island itself is very good choice, I think, the locals are very friendly and you really feel welcomed there. It was great to be there and I would like to go back immediately :).

    We had to leave and go home.

    I can’t recommend Kahanbu enough. Beautiful small guest house. 100m from the crowded tourist scene but a whole world away with its own quiet, beautiful beach, relaxed vibe and calm, stunning gardens. Perfect for snorkelling, swimming and perfect view on the surf at Chickens. Giulia was the perfect host and made us feel like part of the family.

    Absolutely loved staying at Kahanbu in Thulusdhoo! We stayed for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon and we did not want to leave. Guilia, Chika and Raju are the kindest people you’ll ever meet, they took us in as their own. And Jasmine is the cutest. Chika took us to a sandbank which we had to ourselves and we also all went to Asdhoo for the day. A beautiful deserted island with great snorkelling and we had fish for lunch that Chika caught! Chika also knew the best times for surfing and the best breaks, he took my husband out everyday for a surf. The fact that there are only 4 rooms means it will never be busy, pretty much a private bikini beach in front of you and you will be truly spoilt by the staff. We loved hanging in the hammock, having breakfast whilst watching the ocean or chatting over dinner. Raju cooked amazing food and always had a smile on his face. We were so glad we booked here and not one of the generic hotels. You won’t regret staying here!

    Price is very high compared to other hotels same place, and others provide more services with less price . Breakfast is not good at all . Set with very limited choices.

    All hotels and guest houses are near to beach , nothing special .
