To the island Mahibadhoo we have came by the speed boat from the capital (35$ per person). Beautiful 5 days there. Perfect weather, friendly people, more developed island than the north Island Dharavandhoo but each island is specific on their own way, have different beaches, new food to try:) Compared to the northern island Dharavandhoo, the Mahibadhoo has cusine more oriented to tourist so they mixed local cuisine with continental and it was really good, not spicy (but only if you ask them), always fresh fish and big portions hehe The hotel offers different external activities and we have chosen scuba diving which was really great. First we had like a small lecture by the mentor named Frutti and later we left with him for diving. The cigarettes are like 7 euros, and we couldn't find local fresh juices like in the North but the beaches are more beautiful and highly recommended to bring your equipment for snorkeling but even if you forget the hotel will borrow it without the problem:) Paying - in general be careful everywhere in Maldives to pay with new bills because specifically in the capital Male they won't accept old bills like the bills before 2010! In the South 1 dollar is 10 Maldivian rufiyaa whilst in the North is 15 rufiyaa. Don't know why is that, but they accept without the problem dollars, accept rufiyaa and if you like credit card I truly recommend to get a Revolut card because it has the best rate and you will actually pay the real price no conversion or provision will be added! Finally, as we were there during the Christmas that have prepared for us a special dinner at the beach and it was really something:)

Absolutely fantastic. Very well managed indeed. I was picked up from the ferry terminal and upon arrival given a glass of orange juice. The WiFi worked fine, the beach was a few metres from my room which had a beach view, and was overall, comfortable for the price paid. The AC worked, the shower always had hot water and a beach towel (along with the standard) was provided. All staff were friendly and helpful and the included breakfast was nice. The food menu was a great bonus given its range of reasonably priced options. This booking exceeded my expectations, and as such I would recommend and I hope to return again myself.

The location is just superb! Literally ten meters from the nicest beach on the island, which also has a great house reef for snorkling. The hotel provides you with equipment for that if you need it. The food and staff is also great!

The lighting in my room was poor and the wi-fi was not the best, though not very bad either. I am not fond of when there are a number of extra costs added to the price you see when you are about to book. Add it all up, taxes and all, and display it clearly. This was not the case with this guesthouse.

The warm atmosphere and the kindness of the staff and locals on the island of Mahibadhoo. It's a guest house on a local island, so it's not a luxury 5* resort. But you get the local vibes and for the price, it's 200% worth it. The location of the hotel, on the beach, is like nowhere else. There are plenty of exotic fish right in front of the hotel. You will have the calm and serenity that you will not find on any other island. Mahibadhoo is the perfect base to stay in the Maldives, so you can also visit the islands around, such as Dhigurah or Omadhoo. The diving experience was a major highlight for me. The instructor is very experienced and professional.

Some rooms may need to be refreshed, but it's fine for the price.

friendly staff, great location near the beach

low wifi but its not important if you have a local simcard

Location and staff were first class

The bathroom needs attention....a lot of things broken...ie shower , shelf and soap dish...TV in room but didn't work...no Tea or coffee making facilities even though it was on the list of services...but not enough to spoil our stay ....they did mend the shower though

The room was big. The location just in front of the beach. They provide for free a kayak.

The breakfast was very poor and quite the same every day :( Lunch & dinner small portion and quite expensive for what you can find on the island.

The room is very clean. The staff was very kind as well. The beach spreads out in front of you, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk to Bikini Beach. I recommend staying at this hotel when you come to Maldives. breakfast is so delicious.

It is a great hotel for those people who want to know the world, get to know the place and the people who live in this place. This is not a place for pseudo travelers from the "all inclusive" category.

Nice location, peacefull.

- They served us a lot of rice as lunch. Now a few weeks no rice @ home :-)
