- Dina (10/5): Все нравится - Люблю это место и персонал в нем ❤️
Останавливаюсь второй год подряд.
Далековато от бикини бич, но это огромный плюс - вокруг всегда тихо. Комната делюкс с балконом - супер
Комната без окна - не очень, в ванной нужна небольшая реновация

- Myria (7/5): - The location was okay and walkable. It wasn’t clean, the sheets and walls were dirty, a lot of ants of the floor and on the walls, the sink was broken and there was water on the floor every time we used it and we told one of the girls who worked there but they didn’t fixed it, they did after we left. The breakfast was cold and they were ants on the spoon.
- SRIKARAN (1/5): -
- JORGE OLIVER (7/5): Buena ubicacion, pero no contraten tours con ellos. - La ubicacion esta bien ,cerca de todo, las chicas buenas anfitrionas y educadas, el gerente ó encargado nunca dio la cara a un reclamo de una venta de un tours que fue malo. Me vendieron un tours y con un precio cerrado y extra por filmar con drone a 15$. Me recogieron y me llevaron a una empresa , me hicieron esperar 45min y cuando se fueron los demás, me dejaron solo y me llevaron a otra empresa, donde espere otros 45min para hacer la excursión, salimos tarde y fue algo de prisa, al momento de hacer las tomas con el drone , me dicen que es 20$ ,le digo que el hotel me dijo 15 , llamo al hotel y me dice el encargado que el no tiene nada que ver y que todo subió, cuando fue el, quien me vendió el tours , osea, lavándose las manos y ni siquiera disculparse ni llamar a la empresa.
No contraten con el hotel , vayan directo con el proveedor, pero le fue de ellos y salió mal y sin responsabilidades., lógico aue anule todo los demás que pensaba hacer con ellos , por su mala coordinación e irresponsabilidad.
- amanda (8/5): Unfortunately we have done a lot of travelling and look for a little more comfort I think Maldivian business /buil - The proprietor was a very lovely man . Welcoming Very clean
- James Wylor (9/5): All is good, as my personal opinion. - Staff
- MOHAMMAD (10/5): -
- Valeria (7/5): - La gentilezza dello staff, la disponibilità nel soddisfare le richieste. La comodità del letto e la pulizia C erano lavori in corso al piano superiore, la colazione molto poco variegata e la cena abbastanza ripetitiva

- Sandra (10/5): -
- Kum (10/5): Great place for value. - Friendly Staff, Good Breakfast and all the needs done well.
Rdcommend to others.
If I come again, will stay there.
- Testa (6/5): - La stanza senza alcuna finestra
- Manzoor (5/5): - The Bedroom was large and clean.
The Bathroom was of good size and clean.
The Staff were cooperative. There were few things I have to complain about _No intercom or phone with reception,
if we needed something we had to come downstairs from 2nd floor although there was
no lift, there was a wardrobe with hangers but
no rod to hang clothes ,there was a television
but did not operate at all.
- Bednar (9/5): -
- Roy (6/5): Not bad - Staffs It doesn’t have any sea view room. I was booked but didn’t get
- Gloria (8/5): Soggiorno gradevole - Personale molto cortese e disponibile. La camera non aveva vista mare come invece segnalato in fase di prenotazione.
- Hassan (3/5): -
- Gabriele (10/5): - Muito espaçoso e limpo, bem equipado com tudo que é necessário, uma vista incrível da cidade. Um ponto de destaque é o atendimento, foram muito flexíveis com o checkin e nos ajudaram com tudo. Nada
- Viktorie (7/5): -
- Petru (7/5): Vacaciones. - El desayuno y el personal. Habia chinches en la cama y tanto las toallas como las sabanas tenian manchas amarillentas por antiguedad. Y la habitación no tenia ventana, parece que estas en un bunker. Y holia a humedad.
- Stefan (6/5): -
- Claudia (9/5): - Tolles und hilfsbereites Personal. Haben einem immer weitergeholfen und waren bemüht, die Wünsche zu erfüllen. Hatte täglich Ameisen im Zimmer.
- Łukasz (10/5): - Świetny klimatyzowany pokój, łazienka również bardzo ładna. Woda w pokoju nielimitowana można sobie uzupełniać butelki z korytarza co uważam za super rozwiązanie. Personel pomocny odbierają oraz odwożą podczas zameldowania i wymeldowania. Polecam
- Biel Flores (7/5): bien - los chicos muy agradables y te ayudaban en todo lo posible, la habitacion era amplia y estaba bien. El desayuno podria ser mas variado y faltaria un ascensor.
- Yasmine (1/5): -
- Benjamin (10/5): - Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Manager und zuvorkommendes nettes Personal. Die Lage ist toll. Alles ist sauber und noch recht neu. PreisLeistung stimmt hier gut. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Das Frühstück bitte etwas abwechslungsreicher gestalten und auch bis 10 Uhr noch genug verfügbar haben. Das wäre perfekt.
- Elvira (10/5): - Цена соответствует качеству. Прекрасный отель, хозяйн и персонал делал прекрасно для нашего комфорта.

Kind and professional staff.
Excellent food.
Highly recommended.
- Marielena (8/5): -
- PanaitCristianFlorin (7/5): - *Personalul foarte amabil, aproape de port(de fapt de orice, fiind insula mică si cazarea fiind la jumătatea insulei ajungi rapid oriunde pe jos)
*Am rezervat excursii cu ei si au fost foarte ok! *Micul dejun foarte sărac... Nu am avut legume, branza, cascaval, in materie de carne aceeași cârnați zilnic si cam atât
*La intrare sunt bucăți sparte de gresie în care ne-am împiedicat de câteva ori
* Deasupra este șantier, se mai ridică cateva etaje și tot timpul zilei este foarte mare gălăgie
* Camera pe care am primit-o are un gemuleț mic doar la baie si este foarte greu de aerisit, avand in vedere ca geamul are iesite undeva intr-un spațiu mic între niște clădiri
- YIU WING (9/5): - Location. Not far from major attractions, within 15 minutes walk, but in a quiet area. Staff are very friendly and help. They advised and arranged the activities for me. None
- Silvia (9/5): Perfecto para pasar unos días en la isla - La localización , en una de las calles principales y a tan solo cinco minutos andando de la bikini beach.La amabilidad del personal, siempre atentos a todo.El desayuno muy bueno.Tiene su encanto, sin duda un acierto alojarnos en este hotel . Todo correcto, Maafushi es una isla que está en construcción por lo tanto encontraréis andamios y obras en todas partes, así que no tienen sentido los comentarios negativos mencionado esto.
- Janice (3/5): Mixed experience - The hotel’s location on the island is great. The island is really small, so wherever you stay you’re close to everything, but Arora View was especially convenient close to the ferry and the beach, yet not right in the busiest parts of the island.
The staff were extremely helpful and supported us with any excursions we needed. They even drove us to the pick-up point and offered a free transfer from the ferry to the hotel. It was also my friend’s birthday and they decorated the room beautifully, prepared a cake and a card, and communicated very well with us throughout the whole process. We really appreciated this! During my visit, the hotel was actively undergoing construction work to add more rooms. This made the premises feel like a construction site rather than a functioning hotel. The tiles in both the reception area and the breakfast hall were broken and lifted, creating an unsafe and unpleasant environment.
In the room, there were visible wall cracks caused by the construction works, and the noise began early in the morning and continued until late in the evening. This significantly impacted my ability to rest and enjoy my stay.
Additionally, the towels provided were stained with makeup and had lost their original color, which raised concerns regarding cleanliness and the overall standards of the accommodation
- Veronica (10/5): -
- Simone (7/5): Camera e posizione buone, colazione pessima - Posizione buona, camera e bagno ok, pulizia quotidiana e cambio asciugamani. Colazione pessima, nessuna scelta e qualità scarsa.
- Karmazina (8/5): - Nice stuff,.clean rooms, incredible friendly 😎
I do recommend the place nothing really
- Kirsty (8/5): -
- Yuanxin (8/5): 值得体验! - 房间虽然没有窗户,但是比较隔音;屋内设施比较齐全,床也比较舒服;早餐还不错,种类比较多;前台工作人员热情真诚。 住的房间比较小,而且没有窗户;由于酒店楼上还再建设和装修,白天会有噪音。
- mjmmendiola (8/5): -
- Iolanda (9/5): -
- Mehedi Hasan (10/5): - Good stuffs and room quality was goof Bottle water quality might have some issue... My stomac was upset
- Raul (10/5): Genial - El alojamiento está muy limpio y cuidado, el personal es muy amable. Recomendable 100%
- Charise (4/5): Below standard - Room was spacious and clean and staff were nice. The shower was nice with hot water 24/7. Water and toiletpaper was plenty and always available. Breakfast is the usual. Location from the bikini beach is 7 mins walk, but its like this on all islands. They give beach towels which is good. Located in a quiet and peaceful area. The toilet seat is loose. You have to press down on it to stabalize yourself. It doesnt flush properly. Appears blocked and multiple flushes are required.
The bed is hard as a rock and very low. I couldnt sleep through and woke up multiple times during the night due to back pain.
The hotel is under construction with more floors being added. They tell you this on arrival- luckily it was not a problem for me as I was outside all day and the builders really try to keep the noise levels low. I respect them for that.
The hotel has a poor design. In the middle of each floor, there is an open space, and you are woken up by noise from the restaurant on the 1st floor (photo). Not sure whats the purpose of that open space but I suggest they they close it with concrete since they are busy building now or even add wooden floors in that square to block the noise levels- anything will make it better.
This hotel is quite expensive for the quality. It looks nice on the photos but reality is different. The hotel has a nice ambiance and can do much better if they fix these small issues. Its simple fixes, so not sure why they leave it be? There is no chair at the mirror or in the room.
The TV is just for the show, no cable TV or local channels.
I only write honest reviews, and this is the 1st time in all my years traveling that I had to dot down so many issues.
- Israel (10/5): Great value for money for a lovely stay on Maafushi Island. - Breakfast was fantastic, staffs are quite friendly and helpful. They assist from the arrival at the Jetty free of charge until check-in as well as from checking-out and departure to the jetty. The construction of upper floors are on-going which are creating noise from 10am onwards.
- Camila (10/5): Amazing place - It is an excellent place to stay in Maafushi. The staff is outstanding—extremely kind and always willing to help. The breakfast is very good, and the service is impeccable; they even took us to and picked us up from the ferry, which we really appreciated. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Without a doubt, when I return to the Maldives, to Maafushi, I will stay here again Nothing

- Carlos Leandro (7/5): Recomendado - Buena atención y servicio, la habitación muy linda y cómoda Todo estuvo bien
- Наталья (9/5): Не плохой вариант для этого острова, цена соответствует качеству - В номере есть балкон, выходит на улицу, можно пить чай и смотреть на попугая, который сидит внизу и орет с рассвета до заката. Завтраки однообразные, но выбрать что - то можно Странно расположен унитаз в санузле, дверь прямо рядом с кроватью, это стеклянная дверь, матовая только по центру.
- ZHUJUN (10/5): -
- maria del carmen (7/5): En general calidad/precio una semana me aperecio genial y sobre todo el personal era muy agradable - En la entrada tienen un baño con ducha ideal por si tu vuelo sale tarde y tienes que hacer el chek out a las 12 El desayuno era siempre lo mismo y la cama era durisima
- Juan Carlos (8/5): Buen lugar para unos días - Buena atención del personal, desayuno aceptable, facilitan toallas de playa, gafas y aletas para snorkel, aire acondicionado. El transporte te cobran 25 $ desde el aeropuerto por trayecto y persona y en ICOM cuesta 15$, también hay ferrys públicos más baratos, pero con horarios limitados.
- Lorena (7/5): All good - People were lovely The place could be in better shape
- liu (5/5): - 服务很好 床单被套一股没晒干的味道让人很难受,没有提供瓶装矿泉水,希望可以改进一下
- Antonio (9/5): Ubicado en zona tranquila, calidad/precio genial - Personal muy amable, y ubicación excelente. Está a 5 minutos andando de la zona turística, lo cual lo convierte en algo más tranquilo, pero manteniendo el acceso a todo.
- Mona (8/5): - The room was bigger and cleaner than we thought, the transfer from the airport to the hotel was on time and they took us from the pier to the hotel by electric car, a very good thing was the presence of masks and snorkels which we enjoyed a lot and it was great. There was plenty of drinking water and paper towels in the hallway. The staff was also nice The building was under construction on the upper floors and it was very noisy from morning to night, and the hotel had not informed us about this in advance. The first night we saw a cockroach in the room, but the problem was solved by putting a towel under the door and they did not come in again. Considering the beach and the humid weather, the clothes did not dry at all after swimming and there was no place to dry them. The breakfast was not to our liking at all and we only ate it one day and bought bread and cheese from outside. It would have been better if they had added eggs, cheese and cakes. There was no toothbrush or slippers.
- Katharina (8/5): - The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good, they had buffet in the morning and you could order omletts from the kitchen. We were given a better room after the first week. The first room did not have a window and laundry was quite expensive. The room did not have a lot of storage space.
- Syed Mushabbir (8/5): - budget friendly hotel compare to others...neet & clean...breakfast was good....staffs were very friendly,, specially nahid... TV channels didnt work at all...small problem in the toilet lid..but you can ignore it...
- Cara (8/5): Great little place to stay with excellent staff - Property was at the quiet end of the island, but only a 5/10min walk to bikini beach. Felt safe walking around at night so not a problem being a little further out. Room and bathroom were good with an excellent buffet breakfast. Staff were very helpful, met us last minute off of the ferry and drove us to the property. Nothing was too much trouble for them Be prepared the ‘normal’ rooms do not have a window. They have excellent A/C but for someone who likes to see daylight in the morning, it was a small issue with the room. Not enough to complain, and for the price the room was excellent. But if this is a big deal for you, book the room with the balcony!
- Noelia (10/5): Muy recomendable - El hotel cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasar una estancia perfecta. Las habitaciones muy limpias, con aire acondicionado y agua caliente que sale al momento. El personal además es encantador y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Si volvemos a Maafushi, sin duda repetiremos. Nos gustó todo
- Aida (10/5): -
- Simona (4/5): - Niso mi ponudili prevoza v/iz hotela.Zvečer je bila recepcija obveščena, da greva zjutraj ob 7.15 na izlet, ampak mi je receptorka povedala, da se zajtrka ne da dobiti pred sedmo. Ker sem bila z otrokom, bi vsaj njemu dali nek paket, če je bila storitev z zajtrkom. V tuš kabini voda zelo počasi odteka, postelje niso preveč udobne.
- Iván (7/5): Trato muy bueno, habitaciones mejorables. - El trato de los empleados y las facilidades para que estuviésemos lo mejor posible. Estaba en reformas, suelo de la entrada roto, la habitación que nos dieron eran paredes cristaleras al pasillo por lo que aparenta dar menos intimidad. En nuestra habitación no funcionaba la nevera, y la tapa de la taza del inodoro estaba suelta y se caía cada rato.
- zhengjie (10/5): - 我们到的时候有员工来接,帮我们把行李搬到房间,离开也有人帮忙搬行李,送到码头。干净卫生,服务员很友善,是很温馨的一家旅店。

- Majed (8/5): Very good - Room was good size it was clean Staff was not helpful. I am not used to taking off shoes out side the room. So I did carry some beach sand with my shoes. I asked them to clean, the lady at reception said no one was available and she dropped broom outside by the door. When I came back I had to broom the room.
- Yihan (10/5): Perfect stay. Highly recommended! - Everything is perfect. We stayed here for six nights and we definitely had a wonderful time. The staff here are so nice and always ready to help. Breakfast is good and the chef cooked delicious food. We even had four meals in the hotel restaurant and I will say they are way much better than a lot of professional restaurants. Rooms are comfortable and clean with nice price. Highly recommended!!! Hope will come back to Arora View again. None
- Neil (8/5): Safe - I hope the manager will improve his communication skill. However, I am thankful! I am safe anyway 😊 Communication with the manager 2.1/10
- Olga (3/5): Disappointed - The staff was friendly, hovewer, I've got an impression some of them don't speak proper English. When I asked them during check in time if I can replace my room with bad view for better one when it gets vacant, their response was "Not available". I'm not even sure they understood me or just pretended. I requested the room with a balcony and garden view and paid for it, hovewer, the view was horrible to say the least, a balcony opposite me covered with something weird. You shouldn't put in the description something which you simply don't have. We were waiting for a buggy on arrival for so long which also was not easy.
- Vitoria (3/5): Disappointed - The staff are very welcoming. The hotel is a 12-minute walk from Bikini Beach, the beach, and the main area of the island. However, I found it extremely expensive considering the distance and the quality of the hotel. The hotel is very simple, the breakfast is poor with very few options, and the room is basic with little comfort. Overall, I thought it was overpriced for its location and for being such a simple hotel with a disappointing breakfast.
- Lotfi (8/5): Very good -
- Jennifer (5/5): Clean, simply accomodation. - The rooms were clean, air con worked well, showers were hot. The location was a bit far from everything.
We almost didn't catch our flight home because the hotel staff gave us the wrong information about ferry times going to the airport.
There is an ongoing construction to the accommodation, which was noisy throughout the day and night.
- Gisele (9/5): Superb - Breakfast is good. Location is great, away from the crowded place. Everything is perfect and i will highly recommend this hotel. Perfect for relaxation and value for money is excellent 👌 Amazing and welcoming staff. Thank you, Arora View!
