People of Maafushi treat you based on the following: if you are white-skinned and living in a resort, you get the best treatments. After that, white-skinned, then brown-skinned in the resort, and the rest are treated like they don't belong in their precious land. Their definition of hospitality means you are meant to agree and not counter when they suggest something. If you have a different opinion, you are rude and disrespectful. The nature is unparalleled, but the locals have a long way to go to learn hospitality.

It is a very beautiful small island with very warm and hospitable people. With azure water and golden beaches. Prices are very affordable, there are several good restaurants.
It was impossible to swim because there are many reefs in the water inside and we caught our feet many times, which is why we could not go into deep water, and near the shore there is waist-deep water. No one has informed us about this. The hotel must inform the guests about such details in advance.
It would be good if there would be a bridge for those who want to swim in deep water, which would give them the opportunity to go directly into deep water.

Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush.
Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush. The island is small, had good snorkeling, small shops, restaurants and bikini beach! Everyone is friendly and want to make sure you have a good time. Many options to rent water crafts, fun water sport items. Many excursions that give you exactly as they are advertise. A short trip by boat from Male makes it convienent - not have to spend all day getting to your hotel.

Maafushi is currently a construction site.
Maafushi is currently a construction site. There is building work everywhere on the island which is only 1km x 300m. It is not a paradise island at the moment.
There are lots of restaurant options but it is not cheap if you choose a venue that doesn't include the service charge and government tax in the meal price.
I would avoid Maafushi until its been re-built.

Maafushi Island is over rated and fabricated for its best...
Maafushi Island is over rated and fabricated for its best location, activities or else, however it is very costly and all the prices are fabricated as compared to the actual costing in Maldives, intentionally the costs are marked in USD wherein the costs could be marked in MVR. It is always good to use the Public Ferry from Male to Maafushi, which is not only reliable for its timing but very low cost and comfortable. The private Jetty costs about 25 to 50 USD for one way, whereas the Govt. Ferry costs USD 1.5 for one way, which is a great saving. Never do the Activities with Hotel Outlets, Specifically KAANI Activities, It is very costly from them, take a round outside and negotiate for the price, a full day will cost about 50 USD and 50% discount for Children.
It is advised to visit Maafushi in morning and come back in evening, else stay for only one day, as all the Sea/Ocean activities like Snorkeling or Coral Visit is far away from Maafushi, and can be done from anywhere, even from Male; spending money in Maafushi is not worth, as the rates are highly inflated and the people are really arrogent.
Beautiful little hotel, helpful staff, clean room with huge double bed. Breakfast included is excellent, and lunch dinner options are also available.
Location is good, at the beach front, and Maafushi is so small it doesn't really matter where you stay, everything is in 5 minutes walking distance...
I came to Maldives because South East Asia where I usually go during European winter is now closed due to the virus, but will be definitely coming back here.
The staff are amazing. Breakfast is included and it's quite good in comparison to some other hotels we have stayed at here in the Maldives. They offer really good day trips at affordable prices. It's located 2min walk from bikini beach and they offer free deck chairs for the beach which is really good. The restaurant also offers a wide variety of choices at affordable prices. The AC works very well which is a blessing in the summer months.
I'll start by saying It is a good option if you want to make your week in the Maldives affordable. If you're not too picky it'll do the job.
PROS:
- location is prefect.
- if you need to leave the hotel really early due to a tour, they'll pack your breakfast and you can pick it up when you're ready to leave.
- you get water everyday and the room size is decent.
- I had a balcony/sea view. Great to see the sunset.
Mr Aswad organized my transportation coming from another island to maafushi.
He is so friendly and aware about small detail.
Note: If you have luggage you must have carrier.
He also upgrade our standard room to suite for free.
The hostel is opened recently so everything is clean and new plus covered by strong wifi.
The hostel has shisha and area for chilling. One of the best places i found in maafushi and Maldives.
I was very satisfied with the cleanless of room
Restful calm place where you can enjoy your days in maafushi great location near to everything the most good thing is Mr Ibrahim he was very helpful person he helped to realise my trip plan in Maldives he knows very well the place and the activities I recommend this place for people who are planning to go to maafushi single or family very nice villa
This hotel is amazing! The rooms are immaculate and beautifully decorated. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I can't thank them enough, they made my experience unforgettable! And the food is absolutely delicious. Maafushi is a good base to explore the surrounding area without paying extortionate resort prices. I would come back here without hesitation!
Really Recommend to all
This is one of those best budget friendly hotels you can find in Maafushi, the staff is excellent and friendly. It is just couple of lanes away from main beach road. Rooms were clean and service was good. They can book the trips and speed boats on request. Breakfast was good, plates and cups were given on request. We really had a pleasant stay for the week.
The cheapest and cleanest hotel in maafushi, the manager Ibrahim was so nice and generous. He invited me many times for a drink and never let me pay. He helped me booking the attractions and when I was sick he gave me back all the money for the attractions I missed. The room was very spacious and comfortable with good WiFi. Great experience overall
The staff are super helpful all the time. They helped us with the transfer to and from the airport, arrange snorkeling tour and always available whenever needed.
The best budget hotel in maafushi village.
Supermarket, Bakery, Bank, mosque and beach everything is nearby to the property.
Highly recommended for solo, young couples and for families.
Staff was always very friendly and polite. The location was right on the bikini beach. The ocean view room was gorgeous on the 6th Floor.
By far the best hotel on the island in terms of location, infinity rooftop pool, cleanliness and overall service.
The bed was also very comfortable and the rooms looked immaculately clean.
The hotel îs located 1 minut away from Bikini Beach. Very clean room. The sunbeds are free on the beach. The breakfast îs served at The Kaani Grand and the dinner buffet at The Kaani Palm as we have haff board. Very good good. The personal from the restorants very frendly. For the lunch are many options on the island.
It was a short trip to Maldives and icom Marina Maafushi was the perfect budget hotel for this. Rooms were a bit smaller, but the service was really great. Terrace view and food are the two things I liked the most. We were attended by Alamin who was really polite and helpful in every way.
It was our first time in Maldives, it is nice island, the hotel has a nice sea view, good services, friendly, supportive staff especially Jusika and Kawsar, we did 2 different trips were very good, snorkeling was with Fazeel, it was enjoyable. The experience was lovely.
Very clean, welcoming, great staff and very good service. The everyday tours was awesome, the staff make it the most perfect way . The guide Ibrahim Fazeel was the best, professional and took amazing pictures. I definitely recommend this hotel and the tours, good prices.
Most budget friendly hotel in Maafushi Island. The staffs were great and they helped us in all the activities we did in Maafushi Island. It's not a beach side stay but if you are looking for a good and budget stay; this is the best option.
Best room in the hotel was provided to us . Room 701 is the entire floor with a 180 degree view of the Island . With a warm welcome from Tiger , guest relations officer and Lameez at the reception we felt at home from the first minute .
Good Buffet Breakfast and dinner with tasty Food, Traditional Maldivian house guesthouse, for me this was better than normal Hotels. Friendly staff. Hotel is near the beach. Hotel was providing free Sunbeds.
The guest house was good overall
The owner ahmed was kind
He was present at the Maafushi port to pick me up
The location is good and the island is small so everything is without a 10 minutes walk
Food i.e. Breakfast , Dinner was superb
Staff was very good & helpful
Washroom was so spacious , just like room
Lil away from other big hotels is a plus for me
Total Value for money.
Pool is a plus
