Jifuti

For guesthouse owners

Put your island on the map.

Jifuti is a small platform built by Maldivians for the local-island Maldives. If you run a guesthouse on an inhabited island, we'd like to list it.

An editorial page, not a listing

Your island gets a guidebook chapter — how to reach it, where to eat, what to do. Your guesthouse sits inside that chapter, so guests arrive understanding the place, not just the price.

You keep the guest relationship

We hand over the guest's name, email and WhatsApp the moment they request to book. You arrange transfers, meals and arrival the way you always have — we don't sit in the middle.

No upfront fee. No card cut.

Guests pay you directly (prepay or pay-at-property — you choose). We invoice a small commission monthly, after the guests have already stayed. If no one books, you owe nothing.

How joining works

  1. 1

    Tell us about your property

    Create an account and write us a short note — your guesthouse name, island, and a few photos.

  2. 2

    We set you up

    We build your page, list your rooms, and walk you through the partner dashboard. Usually a day or two.

  3. 3

    You start receiving requests

    Guests find your island, choose dates, and book. You accept, decline, or mark as paid from the dashboard.
