Great stay
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff, we have done various tours with them and they were spectacular and well organised

Cons:

There can be a lot of difference between the rooms. We had two, and one was very small on the ground floor with no window in the bathroom. Others, however, are spacious and have terraces and spaces for hanging out clothes.

La chambre spacieuse avec terrasse. La proximité du meilleur resto de l’île. La proximité des supers spots snorkeling.

J’ai pris des nuits en plus.

Le bateau retour réservé par l’hôte est parti avant l’heure sans moi…cela a été stressant mais ils ont rapidement trouvé une solution, merci
Soyez prudents sur les horaires

Cosy place by the beach
Pros:

Spacious air conditioned room with comfortable bed, in a perfect location - Very close to tourist beach. Upstairs veranda is great for breakfast and chill time.
Staff (Sunday and Zakir) were friendly and helpful, provided information on the island and transfers/transport. Ahmed the owner is very responsive and caring.
Breakfast was generous and served within our preferred times.

Cons:

The bathroom could be cleaner on arrival, and the room could be cleaned more frequently.
Duvets were not available - adjust the Air-conditioning accordingly!

Pros:

Superbe accueil ! L'établissement est propre optionnel, le petit déjeuner est complet et bon ! Les activités sont diverses et abordable. Pour un sejour de plusieurs jours sur une île pas trop touristique foncez ! Noté spécial pour le personnel au petit soins toujours avec le sourir ! Ce fut un sejour très agréable je recommande à 100%

Quiet and peaceful
Pros:

I had a spacious modern room and bathroom. The guesthouse is located close to the tourist beach and there is an excellent restaurant nearby. It was very quiet. A speedboat can be booked to transfer from the airport to the island for $45 each way - few run each day so you need to check in relation to flights. The island is very small and quiet - no cars, and you can walk around it in 15 minutes. There is nothing to do except beach or trips - prices range $40 - $90 depending on time and distance. Great for a relaxing holiday.

Cons:

I booked a deluxe room with balcony - expecting to have my own private balcony. It was, however, a small Juliet balcony 100x50cm. No rooms have private balconies and the rooms at the front lead directly onto communal terraces - these are the ones shown in the pictures.
Breakfast was basic with no tea or coffee.

PERFEKT ♥️
Pros:

Hold nu op, et dejligt sted. Skøn ro og afslappende. Ejer og de ansatte gjorde vores oplevelse på øen fuldkommen fantastisk. Vi fik besøg af sjove papegøjer på vores terrasse og kunne se flying dogs om natten. De folk vi mødte på øen var så søde og i mødekommende, det var en fornøjelse at gå på shopping i de små forretninger.
Stedet ligger få meter fra havet og et par hundrede meter fra bikinistranden.
Det er et af de mest fantastiske snorkel steder vi har været.. der er fisk i alle afskygninger over alt. FANTASTISK Ø ♥️

Cons:

At vi havde booket det i forkort tid 😉

Pros:

L’ile de Mahibadhoo est située à une distance raisonnable de Malé.

Pros:

La gentilezza del personale soprattutto Sadam veramente cordiale e disponibile le sue collanine sono bellissime.
La camera era al piano terra non avevamo finestre, il bagno era cieco ma si affacciava su un piccolo pertucio. Le ciabatte si lasciano all'esterno della Guest house. La colazione basilare da zero a zero.
L'isola ha una bella barriera, si può arrivare a nuoto dalla bikini beach. Le escursioni sono affascinanti

Cons:

Nell'isola purtroppo nel primo pomeriggio bruciano i rifiuti comprese le plastiche e l'odore acre arriva fino alla bikini beach.
nella spiaggia ma anche in giro nell'isola ci sono tanti rifiuti lasciati sulla spiaggia. E' davvero un peccato l'isola potrebbero tenerla in modo migliore

This cozy hotel and its owner, Ahmed, made our stay in the Maldives unforgettable.
Pros:

Our best hotel in Maldives. It's a small, very welcoming, and family-run hotel. The owner, Ahmed, and his team made us feel right at home. They create a great atmosphere with the other guests, and we felt very comfortable.
Mahibadhoo is a local island with a very good house-reef. We saw even some sharks just swimming around the island by ourselves!
The trips have a good price and Ahmed does everything he can to ensure you enjoy the experience. They have free fins and mask if you need them. We took the whale shark and manta ray excursion with them, and they really did their best to make sure we saw them. I could swim alongside a whale shark and then with a manta ray, and it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Even after we moved to another hotel on a nearby island, we continued to book excursions with them. Ahmed truly cares about his guests and makes you feel at home. If I can go back someday, I'll definitely book with them again. I really think that finding this place made our holidays un unforgettable experience. Thank you Ahmed

Cons:

Everything was perfect.
Just to say something, breakfast could be better.
And the room is cleaned every three days (For us, It was ok, but maybe it would be nice to have clean towels every two days).
