Maybe some more lights in the room would have been good And some hand soap in the bathroom. But none of these were deal breakers for us

Review for Sunshine View, Maafushi: We had a wonderful stay at Sunshine View Maafushi – total value for money! The room was clean, air-conditioned, with a comfortable bed, a spotless bathroom, and a thoughtful drying rack on the balcony – perfect after beach time or water activities. Breakfast was homely, freshly prepared, and served with warmth – a lovely start to our island mornings. A special shoutout to Shafeeq bhai and his lovely wife, who are truly fabulous hosts. Shafeeq personally arranged our transfers to and from the airport, picked us up and dropped us at the Maafushi pier, and took care of all our excursions and water activities with great care. He even recommended some really good vegetarian restaurants, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is excellent – just a 5-minute walk to Bikini Beach and 2 minutes to the public beach. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Maafushi. Simple, comfortable, super clean, and exceptional hospitality – you get more than what you pay for!

The only real con was that it wasn’t directly on the bikini beach, so you definitely need a cover up to get home.

Mohamed and his family were extremely kind. The room was cozy and the Internet was fast. The activities offered were the same tours as the ones at the fancier hotels, just cheaper in price. I was a fan of the breakfast as well.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sun Shine View in Maafushi! From the moment we arrived, Mohamed and his wife made us feel so warmly welcomed. They personally met us at the ferry, helped carry our bags, and ensured we settled in comfortably — such incredible hospitality! Throughout our stay, they were always attentive and kind, going above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Mohamed and his wife not only organised all of our fantastic excursions but also personally dropped us off each morning at the ferry terminal and came with us to pick up our professional photos, making everything so easy and stress-free. Every morning, we were treated to an amazing complimentary breakfast, featuring delicious fresh fruits and juice, and yummy omlettes Thanks to their kindness, we also learned so much about island life and the local culture, which made our trip even more meaningful. They also shared all the best snorkal spots and recommended shops. The value for the price is unbeatable: the rooms are very clean and comfortable, with excellent air conditioning, reliable hot water, and thoughtful touches like free drinking water, towels, and snorkeling gear available for guests. We highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Maafushi and we will be back!

The owner of the property, Mr. Mohamed and his wife, are very hospitable hosts. They make sure their guests are comfortable in all ways. They helped us a lot in our activities and also do the booking for us. All that’s left for us to do is to enjoy our moments in Maafushi. Two thumbs up for Sunshine View Hotel.

Really good guest house in Maafushi managed by extremely kind and professional hosts. Mr. Shafeeq helped us everything from booking round trip transfers from Male airport to Maafushi, picked us and dropped us at the port ensuring no additional stress for us, helped us book excursions. The guesthouse was close to the main tourist point of the island i.e. the bikini beach (around 5 mins walking) and other important shopping streets, ATM, supermarkets etc.

The hospitality by all the family members makes you feel very safe and comfortable. Mohammed helped us organise the few days we had in Maldives to maximise our available time with activities that fit our taste. Highly commendable.

We booked the Sun Shine View because of the outstanding feedback. And we were very happy with our decision. We had an awesome experience. The hosts were going above and beyond to ensure we as their guests are happy. Even though we knew the way to the port, we were accompanied by one of the hosts to ensure that we join the correct boat trip without asking the staff. We truly appreciated the effort and the hospitality. Thanks so much for being our hosts. We hope to see you again.

Im a big boy - The breakfast could be a bit bigger The property is locked during the night. You can go out or come back at that time but you have to wake up the owner. It would be better if everyone would have the room and property key.

Location is great Mohamed( the owner), his wife and their son are really trying to help you and make you feel comfortable Good bed Very clean Rent the snorkeling equipment for free Great bathroom Fast reliable internet

I have been traveling for over three weeks now, starting in Sri Lanka, and this was the best accommodation I’ve had! Mohamed was like the father I never had. He arranged all the tours for me, always dropping me off and picking me up wherever the tour ended. He was such a kind person, and his family is lovely. I truly felt happy and safe there.

Perhaps, could improve on the place to dry the wet clothes.

The owner of the property absolutely friendly, helpful, and hospitable person.

Had agreed to pay via card for activities organised by the host, but was not given the chance to do so, and then had to withdraw cash in MVR, and then was charged an extortionate USD MVR conversion rate, the host blamed this on the service providers but it could have been avoided if I was able to pay directly by card in USD as originally agreed with him. He also charged me the same exchange rate himself for the extra night I stayed.

Great host, room was cleaned daily, central location
