It’s worth the piece you pay

The experience was ok, breakfast was good, they give you towels for the beach, and the air conditioning works perfectly, but the photos doesn’t match exactly as the ones advertised on hotels.com and not even similiar to the ones in google maps (it shows a swimming pool that doesn’t exist) it’s a few blocks from the prison and next to a mosque so prepare for the 430am prayers from really loud speakers, also there is doing a super loud construction of a building next door

Okay type hotel

The hotel/guest house is located in an island town which is 30 min speed boat ride from the Male airport. The speed boat was available during certain time only, so we had to wait like couple of hours in the airport. When we reached the island by speedboat, we had hotel staff picking our bags and took us by walk to the place. I was expecting a complete different place, to my surprise it was not. I felt like I'm going to Kerala literally :) When I checked about food, the hotel staff said like the food there itself it good and was not sure about other restaurants. We had dinner there just twice (dinner, lunch) and we were done! The food was good, but we couldn't have for 2nd time, because the options were kind of same.. Same chicken, either in Noodles or Rice :) When asked about activities, the charges were Okay like $35 per person for Snorkeling, Sand bank which took about 3 hours. They initially told that they don't hurry like other company who do water activities for cheaper price and would set fixed time, but even these people were hurry which I was not happy about. When we went for walk and found that we had good deals on activities and also giving free ride to airport when multiple activities done with same company. Free ride to airport is really good, because it costs $25 per person to airport!!!! Seriously!! They charged $200 for 4 people round trip!!! I could have easily saved that if I had talk to people upfront. Alaka is good place to stay for price they provide

Nice hotel close to beach and jail

Very kind and helpful personnel, you can take for free for daily use snorkeling masks, flippers, towels. Clean rooms, everything is great except closely located scrapyard, where almost everyday people are burning rubbish. It smells when there's no wind. All the rest is very good for the money you pay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I had a pleasant stay at Alaika Hotel in Maafushi. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the staff are very professional. Everything was well-organized, and I felt taken care of throughout my stay. Maafushi is also the most active and tourist-friendly island I visited, with plenty of activities, restaurants, and excursions available. One small downside: there are only two rooms upstairs that get natural light, and unfortunately, we didn’t get one of them. Still, it didn’t take away from the overall positive experience.

Absolute aanrader!

Wat een verrassing, dit hotel. Kleinschalig, maar brandschone, comfortabele kamers. Ontbijt eenvoudig maar prima en voldoende. Loopafstand naar het strand ongeveer 10 minuten. Snorkelspullen en strandhanddoeken gratis te gebruiken. Medewerkers supervriendelijk en steeds bereid om het de gasten naar de zin te maken. Vooraf via WhatsApp contact gehad en afspraken gemaakt. Snelle reactie. Zelden zo naar mijn zin gehad in een hotel!

Great guesthouse!!

Best place , I wouldn't pick any other place to stay at if I were going back to maafushi. The rooms are really clean and very nice, wifi is really good, foods really good and the service is amazing. I stayed here for 4 nights. They picked me up from the ferry, when I came to the guest house they sat Me down and told me everything I needed to know about maafushi and all the fun activities there is to do. The guys that works here are amazing and will make sure that you're going to have a great time during your stay at Maafushi.

Rigtig fint guesthouse.

Rigtig fint guesthouse. Der er en meget afslappet stemning på stedet. Personalet er helt i top. Specielt Faatih er helt kanon. Vi var på en snorkel tur. Jeg fik ikke deres navne, men de var virkelig gode de to der tog os med ud. Prisen var 10 dollar dyrere end de store selskaber, men jeg er sikker på, at vi fik mere ud af vores tur, da alt var afslappet og var mere på vores præmisser. Stedet ligger ca 5 min fra bikini Beach. Bikini beach er dog meget touristet, så jeg synes det ligger godt. Selve øen bryder jeg mig ikke så meget om. Der er mange hoteller og neon lys. Øen er ikke speciel ren. Øen er ikke det jeg betegner, som et paradis, men det skal ikke tage noget fra Alaka.
