- "Fushifaru is the place on earth which comes closest when I think of paradise. I’ve traveled the world and it’s doubtlessly the most incredible place I’ve ever been to. Just got back from our 7th visit and can’t wait to return. Fushifaru is a picture perfect island, but it wouldn’t be half as wonderful without the kindest and most warm-hearted staff you could think of, people who in the meantime became real friends. Besides the amazing Fushifaru residents, the stunning beaches, the romantic boutique-style details, the amazing villas with private pool, the extremely delicious food and its seclusion are just a few things I would like to highlight. Thanks for everything my dear paradise, thinking of you always makes me smile :)"

- "It was an amazing experience. The communication was brilliant, we got everything arranged and even much more. We got a detail tour arround the island free of charge, a transfer from the harbour and back. The staff supplied us with all the necessary information in time and was helpful for the entire time. The location was perfect, we could experience the real life of the local community," - "Pati (Patrycja) was the most welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and kind person who excelled at being the „face“ of One The Island, from messaging pre-stay, while I was in Naifaru and even afterwards. Girl-crush! But also all other people were super nice and welcoming at the Guesthouse. The place and my room were super cozy and spacious. Bed was comfy and I recognised a lot of Swedish furniture ;) . The fridge was perfect for me. Breakfast was freshly made and tasty. I stayed on the island in order to visit the local Atoll Marine Center to have cats spayed. At One The Island they could even get in touch with the speedboat and organise the journey. By the way, a visit of the Marine Centre is much recommended, very interesting and kind people all around. They explain patiently what their work is there, and in consequence how much we all have to take care of our eating habits, and how it is produced, if fish is part of our diet. Mohammed, the owner of the guest house took me on a tour around the island, which gave a good insight into life on Naifaru, which is a bit further away from Male, so some things are a bit different here. It was just a perfect stay for me. Writing this review now a bit later, I really miss it. Thank you to One The Island and Pati!! BTW, the cats are doing great!"

- "Very clean. Even the beach is clean from seaweeds. Friendly staff Delicious food" - "Small private island allows to relax, very good food (our favorite was Maldivian night) and the hospitality was exceptional, they're meet needs of guests every minute. There is also small clinic with a doctor and also care for the surrounding nature was noticed. Wifi was very ok almost everywhere. Our host was available on whatsapp and his service was unobtrusive which we liked. We had fun with see creatures (turtles, mantas, lion fish) at our fingertips. Someone who books slide or pool villas should remember it is near to seaplane landing place - might be sometimes noisy (for us it was even fun)."
