Amazing place to stay! Guest experience is truly at the heart of everything at Gunbaru. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we felt super well looked after by the amazing people at Gunbaru - nothing is too much trouble. The trips they can organise, especially snorkelling, are exceptional, and very good value. We swam with mantas, sharks, dolphins, turtles and an abundance of tropical fish. We also saw turtles 5 times at the edge of the reef right off Gunbaru beach (around 4pm seems to be a good time to catch them). Ukulhas has a fantastic house reef, and you can lose yourself for hours on the lush beaches or swimming in the warm water. Awesome breakfast and food available at Gunbaru. Whole place spotlessly clean. Great attention to detail at this wonderful family run guesthouse. I'd recommend it to anyone on a budget wanting a top value trip to the Maldives.

The staff was very friendly and satisfied all our requests. They received us at the jetty and brought our luggage to the hotel. The excursions they provided were well planned and they provided extra personal help when we went out snoorkling during manta ray safari as well as when we went out fishing. On the negative side, the room we got did not have any windows looking out and lighting in the room was not sufficient.

The accomodation had everything we needed, was very clean and a minutes walk from the beautiful, clean beach. Purna, our very helpful and efficient host went out of his way to ensure all our needs were met, from providing daily breakfast in the garden to helping us organise activities. All the islands restraunts were in easy walking distance. Highly recommend Gunbaru Inn.
