Guest Reviews

• Li-Fen (6/5): 不老實的飯店 - 一到飯店竟告知我們的房故障沒水，馬上帶我們到隔街另一間，房間很小又沒窗，我當下很生氣，拿出憑證告訴他，我訂的是24平方公尺豪華陽台部份海景房，而且這不是我原先訂的飯店，我很堅持要回我原訂房，他只好回原飯店然後給我原訂的房，根本沒任何問題，所以我覺得此飯店很不老實，早晚餐選項和量都很少，倒是餐飲男服務員很親切，到店付的6美元，給10美竟沒主動找錢，等退房時才跟櫃檯要，唉！不老實的飯店
• Verified traveler (8/5): Mi aspettavo qualcosa di meglio - Hotel datato. La spa non esiste.Doccia rotta Ho chiesto con insistenza durante tutto il soggiorno di aggiustarla .Ma non c'è stato niente da fare.Sicuramente è molto sopravvalutato. Non riesco a capire come.abbia un punteggio così alto.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Best location,nice view,very clin room,nice staff.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - La comida tenía muy buenos comentarios y la verdad que no es nada buena, encima te sientes vigilado mientras comes. La cama el colchón fatal y el baño que apenas te puedes mover. No volvería a este hotel
• yuanyuan (10/5): great hotel - Great hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff especially the reception boy Ibrahim and canteen boy Mohammed, they provide excellent service to guest. The location is good, 2 minutes walk to bikini beach. From the balcony can see the beautiful view of the blue sea. Spacious and clean room. The food is very tasty. Fantastic experience. Thanks for having us
• Chiung Yin (8/5): - 安全、乾淨。近沙灘。
• György (4/5): Maldív barátokkal - Az egy dolog, hogy a csapatunkból az egyik szobánk nem volt kész, átvittek egy másik hotelbe, de azt is éppen építették a semmiből. (de legalább szobám volt) A White Shell hotel szobája sem volt jobb. Kissé koszos, puritán és rendkívül egyszerű. Ha el tudsz vonatkoztatni a szobától, és a természeti kincsekre összpontosítasz, akkor jól fogod magad érezni, de a szoba, illetve e hotel választása nem jó. :( Bár közel van a bikini Beach-hez, ez tehát jó, de nagyjából ez minden jó tulajdonsága. A reggelit biztosítják, de elég gagyi, és mindig ugyanaz. :(
• Zufazleen (10/5): - Hotel is very clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and we got good package deals from the hotel for a majority of our activities. Very much recommended.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Godt personale meget behjælpelige.elendig morgen mad der ikke blev fyldt op når der var tomt.skimmel svamp på værelset og det plastik betrukne træ gulv var ved at gå helt fra hinanden. Curtesy rummet hvor man kunne få et bad.havde et slukket køleskab, som lugtede forfærdeligt.
• Henrik (10/5): Great value for money - and CLEAN - I had 5 nights at White Shell and 1 night at Seven Corals, which was 20$ more expensive than White Shell. White Shell is value for money. Rooms and hotel-building is in very good quality and rooms are cleaned and smell fresh (unlike alot other hotel rooms in Maafushi apperently). The service from staff is very good and very helpful. Can only recommend this place if staying at Maafushi.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - E' la mia seconda esperienza in questa guest house. Non me ne sono pentita. Hassan, il boss è veramente simpatico e attento, ti tratta come un amico, si rende disponibile a risolvere piccoli problemi organizzativi. Le escursioni le ho sempre fatte con Shadow Palm (consigliatissimo, sono i migliori), ma in quest'hotel ho sempre speso poco e mi sono sentita a casa. Sono molto puliti, gentili e davvero generosi. Consigliatissimo.
• Anders (8/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff!
• Anon (10/5): - A small, very friendly hotel with great staff. Everyone worked hard to make my stay great.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Close to beach and shops - Well located Nice food Not a lot of varieties in food
• Verified traveler (10/5): great location - Good location, tasty breakfast and friendly staff.
• Jay (4/5): Ive got bitten by bedbugs!!!! - I wouldnt recommend staying here for a night due to bedbugs. Ive stayed in less than 3star hotels in the past and have never experienced being bitten by bedbugs. Until now, a week after Ive stayed, there are still marks all over my body. The hotel staff is nice and the location is conveniently situated in the center so i have no complaints on that
• Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely place - I'm very happy once I reached there veryone smiling rooms are very clean food is delicious
• Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely small hotel with a real local feel. - We enjoyed our stay at this hotel more so because of the friendly manager Mr Shayam who was very helpful and professional in every way. He was always there personally at hand should we have any queries or questions. Although the rooms had all the facilities they could be have been dusted more frequently but the beds were always kept nice and clean and we only came to sleep here at night which was satisfactory for me and my family. Expedia needs to update the size of beds in family rooms. As they are actually 1 queen size and one smallish looking double only, not 2 queen sizes.
• mr lohar (8/5): Nice hotel - Very nice place . Like a peradise . Hotel stafff is very knowledgeable.
• Rashidul (10/5): I loved Maafushi. - stayed in WhiteShell Island Hotel & Spa for 7 nights! the best 7 nights in maafushi. I am glad I chose this hotel. close to beach and just beside Maafushi Dive & Active Water Sports. The staffs of the hotel were genuinely polite and friendly. Big thanks to Shyam for always asking how was my day and recommending on tours/trips. Would like to thank the sri lankan guys who served me meals during my stay. room were cleaned twice a day. the breakfast were simple and enough to last you till lunch. just a recommendation: the juice always needed to be asked. other than that service has been excellent. I loved the idea of Excursions board and the guests message board. I would say unique to WhiteShell :) if you go Maafushi, this would be one of the best hotel in terms of convenience and comfort. I loved maafushi. I loved Maldives. Thank you for the hospitality. I will be back :)
