Guest Reviews
- Sailime Ludovic Sylvestre (9/5): Île touristique avec une approche locale via la guest house et tous ses bons plans. - La guest house est très agréable. Le personnel est très aidant, toujours souriant et disponible. Ma chambre était spacieuse et bénéficiait d’un balcon assez grand avec vue sur le lagon. L’emplacement était top niveau adresse food.
- Christian (10/5): - El empleado del hotel Zihad muy atento y proactivo. Compartió su tiempo con nosotros en la vereda de la propiedad

- Mokddesh Chowdhury (1/5): - Nothing Worst Hotel ever.They have internet facilities but internet don't work.
- Sophie (7/5): - Super nice staff, picked us up at the ferry and drove our luggage on a cart to the hotel - same for departure.
Nice restaurants near and close to the bikini beach, tourist shops, supermarket and the port.
Very kind to lend us extra towels for the beach! A lot of noise from construction but seems to be an issue all over the island at this moment.
Very low pressure in the shower so difficult to wash long hair.
Annoying that you can’t remove the curtains from the window even though it’s just into a wall, it gives some natural light.
Pictures are very AI generated!

- Siham (1/5): NE VOUS FAITE PAS AVOIR !! A FUIR !!! - La gentillesse du petit jeune qui s’occupe des clients Côté chambre :
Dès le premier jour, ma chambre ne m’a été donnée qu’après 17h. Le lendemain, j’ai compris pourquoi : mes réveils se faisaient au son du marteau-piqueur et de la disqueuse dès 7h30. C’est totalement inadmissible.
Le lit était constitué de deux lits twin collés pour faire un king : résultat, un trou au milieu toute la nuit. À ce niveau, ne pas prévoir de surmatelas est inacceptable.
Le matelas, la couette et l’oreiller étaient tachés, et la housse présentait même du sang séché.
Sous le lit : déchets, saleté et présence de nuisibles.
Aucune protection de matelas ni d’oreiller.
Aucun vrai espace de rangement : seulement une petite étagère et deux cintres.
La télévision ne fonctionnait pas.
J’avais payé pour une chambre avec vue mer : j’ai eu une baie vitrée qui ne s’ouvrait pas et une vue sur des toits en chantier. C’est clairement trompeur.
Côté salle de bain :
C’est la première fois de ma vie que je me retrouve à prendre une douche dont l’eau dégage une forte odeur d’égout.
La pression de l’eau était presque inexistante, les joints étaient couverts de moisissure et le calcaire omniprésent.
Les serviettes « propres » ne l’étaient visiblement pas.
Autres points :
La Wi-Fi fonctionnait mieux à la plage que dans la chambre, ce qui est inacceptable pour un hôtel.
Heureusement, la seule chose qui fonctionnait correctement, c’était la climatisation.
État général de l’établissement :
L’établissement devrait tout simplement fermer pour une restauration complète. Même les plaques façon marbre noir sont gondolées et maintenues par une simple vis. Cela en dit long sur le niveau d’entretien.
Service et Arrivée // Départ :
À notre arrivée, nous avons été réceptionné par un jeune employé à la sorti du bateau, mais au moment du départ, il n’y avait absolument aucun personnel dans l’établissement pour notre cheek out . J’ai dû envoyer une photo des clés laissées sur le comptoir via WhatsApp.
- Dima (7/5): -
- Twinscape By (10/5): If you’re on budget but really near to hotspot, please consider this hotel - the staff ( Zahid, if not mistaken ) was really helpful since we arrived & was very helpful too
- Jamzuri (7/5): The staff was extra nice - No breakfast provided The bed sheet not changed on daily basis
- Jeembash (7/5): -
- Sonia (4/5): - La ubicación y el wifi funcionaba muy bien.
La presión de la ducha era muy buena. La habitación no tenía ventanas, olía muchísimo a humedad y del baño venía olor a cloaca.
El chico que atendía el alojamiento era muy amable pero nunca estaba. Lo vi al llegar y poco más.
El alojamiento está mucho más deteriorado que en las fotos.
- Andrea (8/5): - Struttura accogliente situata nella parte meno “turistica” dell’isola. Staff super gentile e disponibile a dare consigli/organizzare escursioni. La stanza che ho scelto non aveva vere e proprie finestre.
- Ahmed (6/5): Moderat - Preis-leistungs- Verhältnis nicht zutreffend. Sauberkeit und Ausstattung auch nicht optimal. Personalmangel vor Ort. Kein Restaurant

- Shifaz (10/5): Simply perfect stay. - Very quite and relaxing.staffs are amazing and very helpful
- Christine (9/5): A Peaceful One Night Escape - Stayed one night as a solo traveler and absolutely loved the homey, laid-back island vibe. The space was clean, charming, and felt more like a friend’s beach cottage than a hotel. Staff were warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home.
Perfect for a peaceful stopover—wish I had stayed longer!
Pros: Cozy decor, peaceful setting, island charm
- Faisal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Olha (8/5): Very good - The location is amazing, the staff are helpful. If you want to exchange money they give you a better rate. You have everything you need for a comfortable stay: big comfortable bed, a/c, shower, hot water. That’s an excellent value for money. I Definitely recommend and will come back
- Joana (7/5): It’s ok for short time - It’s economic, good location, and the share terrace with the sofas is good, they provide water It looks way older than the pictures, I spent 4 days and never came or offered to clean the room until the day I was checkin out that I said no of course
- Iftekhar (5/5): Passable -
- Khateeb (8/5): Very good -
- Yasir (10/5): Good place to stay in maafushi - It’s lovely place

- Jiamin (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel staff are very enthusiastic. The breakfast is delicious, and the hotel has a great location. It's really a wonderful experience!
- Oliver (9/5): Superb -
- Moly (3/5): The property needs a lot of upgrade in so many areas - The location was good away from the crowd, we could walk after dinner it was nice and quite on this side of the island. Bed linens had stain marks on it, towels did not look clean enough, the quilt was not big enough for two people and no extra blankets were provided, it was very noisy until 10pm at night because of the construction work next to the accommodation
- Aysha (7/5): Good -
- Guler (6/5): Pleasant -
- Dmitriy (1/5): Bad - It is located on the first line, like most hotels. It's dirty, I'm not sure if the bed linen was changed. There is no window to the street, only to some technical passage. The hotel does not allow you to walk in shoes, as if it were clean) there is often no one at the reception.
And it's too expensive for this shed.
- Dragoș (7/5): Good -
- Линар (5/5): Cheap option - Good location. Clean space. Outdoor tables to eat and spend time There was no window at all. It is hard to get fresh air. Sometimes it is hard to find manager
- Siti (5/5): Passable -
- Diana (7/5): Good -
- Brianna (9/5): Superb - -The bed was very comfortable
-Staff was very accommodating to our needs
-We loved hanging out on the balcony. It was very convenient and comfortable
-Without us telling, they met us at the dock and helped us with our bags to the hotel -We wish there was hot water in the shower
-The hotel isn't right on a swimmable beach but the island is very small and everything is a few minutes away by foot.
- Amzil (4/5): Disappointing -
- Motiur (3/5): Poor -
- Dila (10/5): Excellent, the room was clean and the manager very helpful and accommodating. Always smiling 😌. The facility is located - It is located by the beach and very clean with cleaning services every day N/A
- Simona (1/5): Bad idea to come here. - Polite staff. In the morning at 7:30 the construction next door started, noises and hammers as if the hotel was collapsing; if I wanted to wake up at 7:30 I would stay home and go to work.
- Damjan (10/5): Exceptional - The apartments are in an excellent location, and the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. They’re always available to assist with anything we need. The place is spotless, and room service is offered whenever you want. Thank you guys for everything. Highly recommend! Sometimes the internet speed was very slow (especially in the evening)
- Lucian (5/5): Passable - Although we experienced some significant issues, I would like to acknowledge that the staff was courteous and the location was convenient. Upon arrival, we were dismayed to find the property in a miserable condition. Moreover, we were unexpectedly charged an additional $6. This was particularly frustrating considering we had booked two rooms for four people each, but were informed upon arrival that they were only for two people each.
- Oleg (9/5): Superb - The personal was awesome! The location was also wonderful.
- Janina (10/5): Exceptional - Great room, clean and comfortable. Good location, near the beach.
- Heinonen (10/5): High recommendation! - Location is excellent, only couple of minutes from port. From out room spacious seaview from bed and balcony. Very friendly host. Great snorkeling walking distance from hotel. Greetings! Triinu Thank you for everything.
- Amani (10/5): Exceptional - Location was perfect, staff were helpful and the manager had done everything in his power to help us have a good time I would come back again most definitely 💯❤️🔆

- พนมรุ้ง (4/5): Disappointing -
- Xiaoyun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Edwards (10/5): Absolutely fabulous - The owner Rahuman went above and beyond to make my stay the best it could be. I don't think my time on Maafushi would have been even half as good if I had stayed anywhere else. Rahuman has great ideas, information and contacts. He had a solution for everything and I felt like I also made a friend in him.
Would love to go back some day and I wish all the best in developing Tavern lodge and getting the upgrades finished. It's already looking fantastic.
The location is idyllic, right by an amazing spot for snorkelling and the best restaurants and hotels. Couldn't have asked for more. My room was cozy with a great bathroom. It felt like home for five days. I can't really think of anything here...
- Razvansd (1/5): Worst experience - I give details below about the issues :
> The toilet's water did not flush properly
> The bathroom door was broken, unable to close fully, compromising privacy. I don't know if you understand ...the door was half open whatever I did and no way to close it.... I actually had to ask my wife to leave the room when needed.
> The air conditioning unit was leaking, resulting in a pool of water in the room.
> Bugs were falling from the ceiling onto our beds during the night.
> We found sand on the bed upon arrival, indicating poor cleanliness.
> The bed sheets were evidently not changed, as they had a strong odor of sweat.
> A light fixture was partially detached from the wall - the one above our heads next to the bed
And all of these despite paying extra for what was advertised as a "better" room....these conditions were far below any reasonable standard of accommodation.
We left after 1 day , went to a new hotel. Also we didn't see our money back ....
- A. (10/5): Exceptional -

- Aziz (10/5): Beautiful experience and wish back soon - The place as such is a very simple place but very clean and has the essentials for a few days stay. What makes it really worth it is friendly host Rahman and his team. He messaged right after the booking and helped with all my questions and also helped with the speed boat transfer. They were there for everything we needed, right from picking us up from boat to sending us off like a family and helped with tours and even money change. Breakfast was also adjusted as per our request. If you're here in maafushi to explore tours etc and not just stay inside then this is your place to be definitely coming back . Everything was perfect the tavern team was so helpful and we live a great experience
- Donnelly (10/5): We loved Tavern Lodge! - Amazing staff and super cozy rooms. Definitely recommend this place!
