I opted for the Full board option, however I wasn't impressed with the Full board menu I felt that the portions could have been larger.

The staff were super friendly and eager to please and answer any requests They were also working very hard on keeping the property clean and improving facilities

What a great hotel on a beautiful island. The staff were amazing. The room was large, clean and comfortable what more could you ask for. My sister and I had a brilliant stay here. The trips from the hotel were excellent and very reasonable. The food was good. Breakfast was a little basic but nothing wrong with it. The free use of the hotel bicycles was so useful. The only thing for us was with no balcony there was no where to sit outside in the evening. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. The island it is on is beautiful, great tourist beach with fabulous reef, there is a grocery store and restaurants everything you could need really.

My stay was too short.

The host Hamdhan is incredibly kind and takes care of his guests very well. He helped us with the travel options from the airport and is in general a great guy <3 You can ask for excursions and get a good variety of options adapted to what makes the most sense in the season/week. The breakfast is simple but delicious and you can have your breakfast eggs as you wish. The rooms have decent AC and we felt comfortable at all times.

The hospitality at the Biosphere Inn was exceptional, Hamdhan and his team are friendly and knowledgeable. They organised extras for us that went over and above what i expected! breakfast was lovely and the Dhal served in the evening was delicious. i will definitely be coming back.

I would give the Biosphere Inn a 10+ if it were further from the airport and closer to the beach!

This was a great two night stay. The Biosphere Inn is a clean, comfortable, friendly place from which to enjoy the beaches and snorkeling--a ten minute walk away--of Dharavandhoo. The food is very good and the rooms are spacious. A special thank you to John for helping me rearrange travel off the island in a budget-friendly, convenient way!

Some of the snorkelling equipment they provided was damaged. The water leaked in through the mask and the mouthpiece during the session. So inspect the snorkelling gear you use before jumping into the water. The room AC might need cleaning/repair because it wasn't cool enough.

The Host (Saddath) and the Receptionist/Guest Relations Officer (John) were very friendly and helpful. The room provided was clean, spacious and smelled nice, too. Biosphere Inn also carry out their own excursions. They would inform you about the snorkelling trips planned for the day well ahead. They provided the snorkelling equipment. They were flexible about payments. You can pay when you are leaving. They were also helpful during the snorkelling sessions. They also provide footage of your snorkelling sessions. Highly recommend this place if you want to visit Baa Atoll.

Nothing , there is no cons.

I recently stayed at biosphere inn and had a fantastic experience. This has been by far my best stay in terms of hospitality. Special shoutout to the hotel manager John he contacted me post booking and was always there to reply on WhatsApp for any query. He booked my return flight domestic ticket from male to dharaavandho without any advance just on sheer trust, when we arrived at airport we was there to pick us up. The first day he took us on the golf cart and gave the island tour. Everyday whenever we stepped out he was there to drop us and pick us up even if we didn't ask him. We are vegetarian so he always made sure to add a good vegetarian dish in the breakfast, he gave us free snorkelling gears,bicycles. The rooms were cleaned everyday and were very spacious ,got unlimited water . Every room already had universal adaptor. One very special mention about John we had our return flight to male at 7 am and we had to leave by 5:30 am for the airport he made sure to pack our breakfast by 5:00 am and dropped us , I have never seen any hotel doing that. They also provide a snorkelling excursion at a good price the owner himself is a guide , we went for Whale Shark snorkelling at night for 40$ per person where as for the same thing other shops had asked 80$. We also went for manta ray snorkelling with them and they were always the first one to reach since they had their own boat and they usually took 6-7 people it is very good for those who want to avoid crowds.

If the kitchen can add some Chinese foods it'll be perfect

The staff, especially John, was super friendly and helpful. He took good care of us, not like his customers, but like his family. He is so thoughtful and attentive, making our stay beyond expectation

If you're hesitating between Biosphere and other hotels, go with Biosphere – it's the best on the island. The staff was absolutely amazing, they went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic stay. Upon arrival, I was stuck in Malé due to not having a ticket (all speedboats and flights were fully booked), but one of the owners somehow managed to find a solution in no time. I am extremely grateful for their help and support, because otherwise I'd have cancelled the trip. Communication was very smooth, they answer quickly to messages and always try to help. The staff at the hotel (reception, restaurant, etc.) was also extremely helpful, and the food was great. The room was very clean and cleaned daily, the best I've experienced on a local island in the Maldives. The excursions are phenomenal - with a little bit of luck, you'll be able to see many manta rays and whale sharks. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

I am really happy overall. If to say something you can hear the planes like everywhere else on the island as there is an airport. The room close to the kitchen is noisy starting at 6 30 to prepare for breakfast and you don't have much natural light from there. Room on the top floor does not get much water pressure. I would have loved sparkling water but you can get at the supermarket!

John, Ahmed and Hamdan would go to the moon and back to make you happy. They are the best. The hotel is cozy and clean, they offer plenty activities at a fair price but not force you to buy anything and organize transport for the island according to your other flights. They reply to whatsapp at all times and offer very good but discrete customer service. Food is good and reasonably priced. Big rooms with space to hang and put clothes, hot water and aircon work great. Free unlimited water, coffee and tea! Definetely recommend it!

Lovely accommodation in Dharavandhoo Island - it exceeded my expectations. The room was spacious and well airconditioned. Breakfast was yummy and varied. Staff was excellent - great communication! Wi-Fi worked well. Good location - easy walk to the restaurants and the Bikini Beach, as well as other beaches. Zero complaints, all compliments, and I would stay here again for sure when I come back!

One of the best decisions in all my travels in the Indian Ocean was to stay here and enjoy the warm hospitality of John and Hamdan. They will go above and beyond to meet your every need. John previously worked in 5 star resorts and you'll get top notch service. Breakfast great, lovely atmosphere and Hamdan will help you with day trip activities to the beautiful snorkelling sites or nearby islands. I would do anything to be back here again soon.
