This host is just incredible. From the begining of the stay we felt like we were with the visit to our good family. Host was always helpfull. He picked us up from the ferry, helped with the luggage, refill our bottle of water and cared about everthing what is needed. Despite the fact, the room wasn’t the most modern one, it was super clean. The host also organized a trip for us concluded with fish feeding, visiting a sandbank and snoorkeling for free. Even borrowed us a flees which we didnt have. We also took a service with breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was always different and the dinner was so huge,that we didnt manage to eat everything, despite the fact it was delicious. Totally worth it. At the summary It was really amazing! I cannot find any more words how to reccomend this guesthouse. I wish him to have more guesthouses on this island. The world must to see hospitality of this guy.

it’s great value for money, very basic and simple but a perfect way to experience the Maldives on a budget and get a taste of what life is like on a local island. Amin is a really quality guy, always around to help you do what you want to do (surfing, exploring somewhere locally, diving, etc). the breakfast and dinner are also tasty and filling! it was also awesome meeting the other guests and we all ended up hanging out during our stays!

it is very basic, so if you’re after that luxury resort this is not it.

Location was great. Close to Bikini Beach, cafes etc. The island is small so everywhere is close for walking to. Beds were comfortable, shower water pressure was good. Air-conditioning worked well. Dining area was a comfortable area to hang out and chill. Drinking water supplied by a cooling dispenser. One evening meal is provided free of charge which was great & tasty.

The communication with the host is almost non-existence and seemed unwilling to help with any local information on tours or ferry timetables. Theres no hot water (which is important to some people) don't think this is mentioned in their blurb. No extra towels for beach.

Breakfest is good and many nice guests.

Staff can not speak Finnish or Estonian.

The facilities are the best of all that are available. Very budget friendly. They took us to Fishing, Island hopping, Sand bank free of cost. Daily they keep an activity for all the guests together in group outings without charge. This is the best budget place you could look for. Service is very good as well. Location is great too, just near to the ferry and speed boat point and nearby to the airport. Can reach the airport from himmafushi by speed boat in 20min. They also guided us to take the 6.30am speed boat to catch an 8am flight, and this was the best decision, saving a lot of money. Also allowed us to use the kitchen to prepare small ready to eat meals like Maggie, and tea, coffee, etc. Room service is also good, staff are friendly and helpful too.

The Bed is not comfortable. It has a hard type of mattress. Rest all great with this place. Go for it.

It was our 5th time there. It's a surfcamp where the vibe is surf, surf, surf. It could be a little basic for some people, but once you had a great sesh...who cares? Food is buffet style and good. We had one boat trip everyday for free for the local breaks. There are more boats trips during the day and, it only USD10 pp. Other islands charge at least USD20 pp. Staff always friendly and helpful. The owner Ameen and his family always makes us feel welcomed. This is why we see familiar faces every year. The rooms are quite spacious, and the beds are comfortable. Himmafushi Island is very consistent, it can be a little crowded but you always find your waves. Overall it's a great place to stay for a very good price. Maldives became more affordable than Indonesia!

This year, the accommodation was a little too crowded for the infrastructure they've got. Couple of nights there were no chairs available for everyone to have dinner. And some boat trips were too crowded as well. Some locals looked at us in a unpleasant way. We were there the first 2 weeks of September. This was the first time it had happened. Normally is less people.

Amin is a great host....food is great...he takes care for attractions and boat shuttles to surfing spots

The facilities needs maintenance

Amin is great ❤️❤️

If you want crystal chandeliers and waiters in uniforms don’t book in here , you need to book elsewhere which are available at 2000+$ a night The Jailhouse is charmingly rustic and represents extremely good value for money 💰 Have given 10 out of 10 for everything but a little TLC would not go amiss , didn’t want to mark you down on some aspects as there is not a facility on the review to give the owner and his staff 15 out of 10 for their friendliness and helpful attitude, nothing was too much trouble. A big thank you 🙏 to everyone for making my stay so enjoyable.

Nothing

It's our 5th time at Jail's. The place is basic, but the vibe is amazing! It's a real surf camp with good food, good staff, amazing waves close by. The owner and his family are always welcoming, and you make friends straight away. I don't recommend this place for honeymooners or who likes a little luxury. The vibe is surf, surf, surf.

I didn't like it when we had to leave. It's always sad. 😔
