Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our first visit to Relax Residence (RR) was in December 2020. When we decided to come back to Thoddo in February 2021, we had no doubts about the choice of a hotel and stayed in RR once again.
Clean spacious rooms, good conditioning, extremely hospitable English-speaking personnel willing to help 24/7, good location, tasty and comparatively cheap breakfasts and dinners, arrangement of excursions are evident advantages of the hotel. Besides RR is the only hotel in Thoddo which offers rooms on the 2nd and 3d floors with balconies.
If we go to Thoddo again, we will stay in RR.

Been in this wonderful guest house for a couple of weeks. The very friendly and courteous manager Nazwan, his entire large and friendly family, strives to make the stay of the guests as comfortable and convenient as possible. One of the family members, Simon, conducts excursions to the manta rays. He loves them very much. Tourists, when they go with him on an excursion to the manta rays, will surely see them. Delicious local Masuni breakfasts. A lot of fruits. very comfortable room overlooking the coconut tree and banana tree. Panoramic windows. The room has a huge and very comfortable bed, safe, refrigerator, TV, kettle with tea and coffee, bedside table. On a beautiful glass balcony, there are two chairs and a table for a pleasant rest after a rich swimming, a stay on a beautiful white beach and sea excursions of the day. On the island itself there are two beaches for tourists with a beautiful coral reef. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. I recommend everyone to relax in this beautiful guest house and enjoy the care of this kind Maldivian family. You will have an unforgettable experience and a complete reboot. You will go home refreshed, as I did.

This is a wonderful place! Everything is very clean and friendly. 5 minutes to two beautiful beaches, very tasty and a lot of cooking. Room cleaning every day. In the courtyard of the guest house there is a cozy gazebo and many snorkeling equipment. View from the window of the rainforest. Thank you!

Stayed in this astonishing hotel in the middle of February. The owner, Nazwaan, is a gorgeous person. He was all time available to help and answer all questions. The hotel, itself, has a suitable location, just in the heart of Thoddo. Breakfast, dinner was just across the street. All the facilities related to ocean entertainments are free and within access. Had a great time staying there. Strongly recommended.

Our honeymoon has been a paradise .
The room was very clean and comfortable . Air conditioner works well , but the water heater was not working . But that is not really a big problem for some people .

The food was lovely , breakfast is served . Its plenty for some people , But i could go more because breakfast was good . Not very delicious , but it was good . Dinner is great , i had a full tummy on each dinner . Best part is , we cook the fish we caught .
And the best part about dinner , we got 5 crayfishes which they called it lobster . The meat of the crayfish is just out of the world !

The location of the Hotel is in the middle of the island . For location , i would give 2 starts . You cant really do much about location , the island is small and it is still close to the island . Its around 5 minutes bike ride .

Bike here are functional although its not a very good bike , but you get it for free . What do you expect ?

The snorkelling gears they provide for free are complete . You dont have to bring your own unless you dont feel so good in sharing the snorkel with thousands of mouth .

The snorekling area around the island is really good . I can alreay see colorful and plenty of species by going to the reefs close to the beach .

You can do fishing here too ,
For me , i bring alot of lures which needs a lot of effort in order to catch fish . But if you can get some sliced fish meat , its really easy to fish by the shore .

Above all ,
Nazwan the manager is very good . He did take care of us in a really good way . I’d give him 9 out of 10 . He still has to improve especially on the frequency of his attentive . He really needs to improve in providing continuous help desk .
The workers in relax residence are friendly too , syahir and syasya . They prepare your food and clean your room .
Thanks to nasir to whom bring us to fish and hunt us the lobsters .

Relax Residence has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Thoddoo. Clean rooms, delicious food and efficient aircon. We stayed in the new building at Relax Residence. The rooms are about a year old and everything inside looks new. Bikes are provided for free to cycle around the island. Snorkelling equipment is also provided for free.

We were welcomed by Nazwan at the front desk. The check-in process was quick and efficient. Nazwan and Nasir then took us on their motorbikes to show us the location of the tourist beach. The tourist beach is very clean and well maintained. There is a lovely man with a stall at the entrance to the tourist beach selling fruit, drinking coconuts etc for $1 each. Comes in very handy when spending a lazy day at the beach.

I would like to make special mention of Shajhan. He served us delicious breakfasts and dinners during our stay and was the most lovely person to have conversations with. Thanks to Nasir for preparing the delicious grilled fish for our dinners. Shajhan also doubles as housekeeping and made sure our rooms were refreshed every day during our stay.

Relax Residence was adequate for our needs. Do not hesitate to stay here.

We used one of online services to book the guesthouse and received the answer right next day. And during preparing our trip we received answers to any of our questions about our vacation. Owners arranged meeting in airport and transfer by speedboat to the hotel. We had our coconut welcome driks and got to beds after a long journey.
The good thing in this guesthouse they have twin beds, which is not common here.
We came here for relaxation, sea and sun and Relax Residence gave it to us - it is a closest guesthouse to the beach but it is also not far from the center of island.
As for amenities:
AC is good and quiet, shower is hot and with good pressure, TV has 40 channels, room has safe and small freezer. Beds are soft, furniture is new.
Outside the room You have private place with table equipped with teawear and electric kettle.
Breakfasts are unvaried but most of the meal here the same. But they are big and tasty and we usually skip lunch after them. We ordered dinners from hotel cook from time to time and it was usually better than in restaurants: huge grilled fish or tender chicken stewed with vegies - all was tasty.
Relax Residence staff can provide You with snorkelling equipment for free, also arrange all the local activities from diving with mantas or trips to other islands, fishing, beach BBQ dinner - just name it.
We thank all the staff of rhe guesthouse who became not just our hosts but our friends.
