Origami Inn Himandhoo Reviews

Modern comfortable room with beautiful terrace . Very close to the beach. The staff was very helpful and kind. The food was great. We had lots of opportunities for diving and snorkeling and it was all arranged for a reasonable fee by the owner. Very easy communication with WhatsApp before arrival. The trip from airport was organised by them and was very smooth. They provided free of charge also sunbeds and beach towels. We had a wonderful time, thank you very much for your excellent hospitality

We had an amazing stay at Origami Inn. The staff was welcoming (Thanks for everything Azeez and your wife), the room was nice and clean and the location was perfect. Would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the island.

The room is super clean. It is a sand house in the courtyard on the first floor. There is a wooden floor in front. You can go in with slippers without sand. Swimming and snorkeling equipment can be placed outdoors. The back door can be opened to hang clothes, which is very convenient. There is a refrigerator and a kettle in the room. The hot water in the bathroom is also very large, which is very convenient to use. The food is very good every day. There is a restaurant in the B&B hotel. Basic simple meals are available. If you are not used to it, you can bring some Chinese seasonings to cook. I chose this island by chance because it is my second time in the Maldives. I want to experience the local customs more deeply. Although it is the rainy season, except for the cloudy weather on the first day, the weather is very good afterwards. The boss Azeez arranges us to go snorkeling at sea almost every day, looking for conches, fishing and other experiences. Fortunately, we caught up with turtles and dolphins. He has a son who is about the same age as my daughter. We even lived like islanders. I would pick up his son from school every day and the two children would play together. Fate brought us together across countries and regions. The night before we left, the children's eyes were red. Their sincerity was more touching than the beautiful scenery. I am grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Azeez for their arrangements and care, and for leaving us with such beautiful and precious memories. I believe we will return for vacation soon, perhaps to visit the boss's family and his lovely son.

It can really be said to be very, very, very nice. Azeez and Christina are super thoughtful. From the welcome drink at check-in to the layout of the room, they give people a feeling of not losing the resort island at all! ! I stayed in a seven-star resort island for five nights before, so to be honest, I didn't have much expectation when I first arrived at Origami Inn, after all, what kind of bicycle do I need at this price. But I really didn't expect it to greatly exceed my expectations. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is simply an experience above a five-star sand house. Himandhoo is a very small island, similar to a small village in China, but the people are very friendly. The host, Azeez, is very concerned about world affairs and can openly chat with him, even religious issues. The room decoration is designed by Azeez himself. The lighting and decoration are very good. The daily food (fish, lobster and other seafood) is also ordered first and then caught in the water. It can be said to be super fresh. We come here as a mainland country expressed deep regret. On the last day, because Azeez was going to Male for shopping, we had the honor to experience the feeling of visiting Male with the locals. Whether it's eating or shopping, he helped us bargain for more than half of the marked price. It's really worth it to make such a friend after a trip to the sack. The most regrettable thing is that in the last two days, the weather was not beautiful, and I couldn't see the manta, but I was lucky to see dolphins during the snorkeling. By the way, Azeez is a licensed diving instructor. He taught classes in Male before, and they plan to open another dive shop on the island. Next time I will go again, to learn to dive! ! !

Our stay was amazing - really exceeded our expectations! We strongly recommend this Guesthouse and the Himandoo island! The owners of Origami Inn - Azeez and and Christina were extremely nice and took amazing care of our family. The food was delicious - prepared by Melisa and Rowena (such a sweethearts) and the beach was just breathtaking! Hope to see you and your wonderful family very soon! Thank you ＜3

We had wonderful family experience staying at Origami Inn in May 2023. The hosts of Origami Inn (Azeez and Cristina) were so kind and did everything so that our stay was as memorable and relaxing as possible. We came with a 2,5 year old son who had time of his life playing with 2 sons of our hosts and having fun on the beach. We miss you all already and hope to see you soon! :) ROOMS: The rooms are of very good quality, definitely feels like a proper european standard. This was one of the reasons we booked this place, as the rooms looked much better comparing to other guest houses and we were not disappointed. They were cleaned every day and we felt super comfortable staying there. FOOD: We had a full board option and ate so well! The food was always super fresh, fishes straight from the ocean and the fruit drinks so taaasty. We loved the lobsters as well ＜3 STAFF: We met Rowena and Melisa and they were so kind! Thank you again for all that tasty food and taking such a good care of us and our son while diving ＜3 BEACH: There is a very nice bikini beach 1 min walk from the guesthouse. Lots of white sand, beautiful Maldivian color water :) and nearby reef. DIVING: Thanks to Azeez who is a dive master, we basically saw everything we could ask for under water. Mantas, different sharks, turtles, napoleons, eagle rays, sting rays, octopuses, beautiful corals and hundreds of fish types. Azeez knows the ocean around like his own pocket and each dive spot was picked perfectly. OVERALL: Best value for money you can find in all Maldives. Highly recommend to everyone. We will definitely come back :)

I stayed at this hotel with my sister and nephew. The hotel is very new, modern, has everything you need. There is always hot water in the shower, everything is very clean. The beach has its own sun beds with an umbrella for shade. The beach itself is about to 2-3 minute walk. The hotel has mini football, so the kids won't get bored 😄👍🏻. Special thanks to the owner Azeez and the cook girls: the food was delicious, the portions were large, we ate and were satisfied. I highly recommend to everyone! Thank u and hope to see u again! 🤗

It was amazing stay in Maldives. The rooms are clean and comfy. It had everything that you need. Air-con, hair-drier, fridge. Every day they cleaned our rooms. And food was very delicious. Azeez organized amazing tours for us. He was so caring and made our trip unforgattable. I would absolutely recommend my friends to visit it.

The Maldives vacation was wonderful! Excellent Origami Inn Guest House, excellent location near the beautiful bikini beach, cleanliness, delicious breakfasts and dinners. Excellent and responsive attitude of the staff and the owner. The owners of the hotel are a family, very nice, kind, friendly and hospitable people who speak English well. They helped me in everything, met me, saw me off - just wonderful people. Aziz solved any questions and requests. Aziz organized interesting excursions to another island for us and took us diving with turtles himself. It's like we're visiting a friend! We will be happy to come next time and advise our friends! Thank you very much!!!

It was our most comfortable stay during our holiday in the maldives. Lovely room with lots of space and a nice terrace. We enjoyed our time in Himandhoo even though the weather was not good. The breakfast and other meals at the restaurant were really good. Last but not least have I had some nice dolfin and manta experiences because Azeez has put a lot of effort in it. Thank you for that, we really appreciated it! Our hosts were very friendly and considerate and even entertained our toddler so we could enjoy our meals.

Nice cosy inn on a small island Himandhoo The room is large, good air-con, neat, bathroom well equipped, wooden floor. Cristina and Azeez are great hosts helped by Cristina sisters. The restaurant is between Filipino, Maldivian food, well prepared. We went snorkeling and scuba diving with Azeez taking care of us. The weather was not very good but Azeez was organising activities.

Excellent place. Very comfortable, with very caring Staff. Very good and fresh local food. Private beach. A lot of interesting trips on dedicated boat. Great! A nice atmosfere. Organisation of connection perfect. So the trip to and back from island very nice.

I would like to tell you about the amazing stay at the guesthouse Origami Inn. In fact, we got here completely by accident, but we never once regretted it. Very attentive host Azeez, helped us with everything, was very polite and helpful. The room was very clean, beautiful, large and with an interesting design. There is a private area for recreation. This is not even a room, but rather a compact villa. A very serious restaurant, with really high quality and tasty food, large portions (the best we have seen in the Maldives). I would like to wish that this really excellent hotel will never be empty, continue to develop and develop the whole island. Good luck and thank you for a wonderful holiday!

This year I decided to take a short vacation in the Maldives. My destination was the local island of Himandhoo where I was hosted by the gesthouse Origami Inn. Origami Inn is a Polish-Maldivian cooperation, a great solution for me. The Maldives is a long and unusual journey, so a big plus and convenience for me was the opportunity to meet Polish representatives. During the meeting, I met my babysitter Marta, who virtually accompanied me throughout my stay. I received a package of necessary information: about culture, travel, climate and people. On arrival, I was greeted by the local staff of Origami Inn Azeez and Cristina - I felt fully cared for in their hands. Delicious, fresh, local food prepared by Cristina perfectly suited the high, tropical temperatures. Azeez, in turn, patiently answered all my questions and was my guide on the island and in the evaluation. Thank you Origami Inn for a wonderful holiday and unforgettable memories. I am coming back to Poland full of sunshine and positive energy.
