Pros:

Fair, small island but bikini beach is quite far in the heat to walk, Mohammad was normal, rather slow, have to ask everything couple of times, I experienced much better services in Maldives

Cons:

They gave us mold smelly room, exchanged it but they knew about it and still just overpour it with toilet refresher, next day when they turned off AC when cleaning was unpleasant to come back. But I asked and they changed it but moving when we had plans and we were unpacked was annoying.
Huge disadvantage is no breakfast, locally you can get some breakfast but you don't want to deal with it.

Vacances de mes rêves
Pros:

Le lieu était comme sur les photos, propre et confortable. j ai voyagé seule et les employés Rubi et Mohamed ont été d une grande gentillesse. Le patron m a traitée comme une princesse, super gentil.
Aucun sentiment d insécurité dans les rues quand la nuit est tombée, la population est adorable, aucune personne bizarre ou qui vous rackette de l argent pour quoique ce soit.

Cons:

Rien

Great hotel in a quiet location
Pros:

This is a great small hotel. Rooms are very small but they have a lot of shelves and storage, and surprisingly it was sufficient for the two of us, having a lot of things (diving gear and whatnot) and 3 travel bags - found shelves for them, too. Rooms have windows (I've read about some other hotels in Rasdhoo which have some or all rooms without windows) - windows face the garden and you probably want to keep the curtains closed at all times (since all rooms are on first floor and people are walking outside), but still it's nice to have daylight coming in. The beds are very comfortable and soft (I've read a few reviews mentioning hard beds here, this seems to be not so anymore). WiFi works fine. The best part about this hotel is its location. Rasdhoo island has a building with diesel electricity generators, which is close to the bikini beach. There's constant humming noise there (which you can hear from the beach or snorkeling there). This hotel is on exact opposite side of this small island, and noise from generators is not heard there - so it's peaceful and quiet. You can still walk to the other side in 5 minutes so it's not far from anywhere. I've been there for diving and this hotel was great.

Cons:

Not cheap for a small hotel, it was more than $90 a night. I guess because it's a high season. It's a pity they don't serve breakfast. Finally, they refill soap / shower gel only in small quantities.

Mira mucho todo y aún así…no sabes si acertarás.
Pros:

Personal amable.

Cons:

Estás pagando mucho por sitios que no lo valen,porque no puede ser que lo único bueno sea el personal. Hablo de nuestra habitación, limpieza mejorable, baño con olores insoportables,mobiliario deteriorado…todo parece estupendo en las fotos pero después…no se correspondo con la realidad y sobretodo con la puntuación de las reseñas.

Chilled. Local vibe. Good diving and snorkelling trips available.
Pros:

Mohammed was legendary. Couldn’t do enough to help us. Nice standard local guesthouse only minutes walk to anywhere (it’s a tiny island).

Cons:

FYI, during Ramadan, some restaurants/cafes (there aren’t many on the island) don’t serve food.

Pleasant stay, great staff.
Pros:

Mohammed - was incredible and would go out of his way for you, couldn't fault him at all. He was always friendly and polite and helpful. The air conditioning was good, the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The room was a bit smaller than we expected, outside shower and toilet was ok, but could get very hot, wet and slippery.

Pros:

The place was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. Beach next door but it is not a bikini beach - you can’t be there uncovered. Beautiful sunrise though.
The harbour is close too.

Cons:

The only bikini beach at the island is 7 minutes walking (the other site).

Pros:

We loved our stay here, a special thanks to Mohammed who welcomed us with a great hospitality and was always available for any kind of support. We enjoyed a lot the green garden and its facilities and common kitchen area with anything you need. It’s a very nice space for your stay at Rasdhoo.

Cons:

Little minus for the hard mattresses and low water pressure in the shower, but not a big deal

Pros:

Beach Cottage is located in a quiet part of Rasdhoo. We were picked up at the dock and taken a short ride to the accommodation. Staff (Mohamed & Amir) were very helpful with information about the island and available tours. Snorkel gear is available for rental. The room was clean with everything we needed. Although located at the other end of the island from the bikini beach, it's only a 10 minute walk to reach the beach. We enjoyed great snorkeling by swimming off the bikini beach to the drop off where we saw sea turtles. sharks. a manta ray, eels and too many types of fish to name. Mohamed arranged our speedboat back to Male and also took the time to drive us to the beach one day and on the way showed us the shark viewing area.
