Guest Reviews

• Nina (10/5): wunderbar - Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit freundlichem Personal, die sich um alle Sorgen und Angelegenheiten kümmern.
• Dr. Gerhard Olaf (9/5): Sehr angenehm. - Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal!
• Dr. Gerhard Olaf (9/5): Amazing 🤗 - The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very good location! Small flies 🪰
• Maarten (10/5): - Diane was a very good host. Great price quality, would stay again.
• Kira (10/5): Tolle Gastgeber - Ich hatte einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Palm Residence und das lag vor allem an Diane und Coco. Die beiden sind unglaublich nette, herzliche und hilfsbereite Menschen und sorgen dafür, dass man seinen Aufenthalt ganz entspannt und unkompliziert genießen kann. Die beiden schaffen eine Atmosphäre, in der man sich willkommen fühlt – für mich als Alleinreisende ein kleines bisschen wie ein „Zuhause fern von Zuhause“. Gut fand ich auch das Frühstück in Buffetform: Man konnte sich nehmen, was man mag. Für mich das beste Frühstück meiner bisherigen Malediven-Reise. Die Zimmer sind groß, sauber und für den Preis absolut in Ordnung. Die Klimaanlage funktioniert einwandfrei und das Bett ist bequem. Das Badezimmer könnte ggf an der einen oder anderen Stelle etwas modernisiert werden.

• Mark (9/5): I had a wonderful stay at Palm Residence in Rasdu. - I had a wonderful stay at Palm Residence in Rasdu. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the location was perfect—close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The staff were incredibly welcoming and always happy to help with anything I needed, from arranging activities to offering local tips. Overall, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the island. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rasdu! Nothing, zero issues with location, room or staff!
• Xinru (8/5): Buena experiencia - Las personas que trabajan en el hotel son muy amables! La cama bastante dura para mi gusto y el baño se inundaba bastante
• Zeskicito (9/5): -
• MRosa (10/5): Tot super perfecte!!! - Mha agradat tot!!!! 100%recomenable i personal molt amable, sempre disposats per ajudar. Installacions super netes.
• Dana (8/5): - Snídaně vyborná. Lokalita dobrá. Velice příjemný a ochotný personál. Není co vytknout.
• Irina (10/5): -
• Carles (8/5): - El personal es lo mejor del sitio. Muy simpaticos y amables, ayudan en todo desinteresadamente. Sitio también limpio y libre de insectos Quizás el desayuno podía ser más variado. Precio elevado para el tipo de sitio, pero es parecido al standard de toda la isla
• Marianne (10/5): - As a solo traveler used to hostel, stayin at Palm Residence, where they took care of everything for me was a great break. They pick and drop me off at the pier, booked my speedboat, accomodate my early morning going diving. Really love my time there!
• GILEN (10/5): Persoonal agradable y cerca de la playa. - Perosnal atento y agradable. A.disposición material para hacer snorkel (gafas, tubo y aletas). Habitación amplia con armarios y baño muy cómodo.
• Jack (8/5): Great staff can do a lot, but not everything! - The staff. Genuinely some of the nicest people you're likely to meet. They were this place's saving grace of I am honest. I would have rated this a 5 or 6 if it weren't for them. The place is in dire need of renovation. WiFi was poor. Everything is quite tatty. It's certainly over priced for the area.
• Alexey (8/5): Very good -
• Ali (10/5): Best value for price. - Friendly staff. Accommodating and helpful. Transport to the hotel is not a comfortable ride in the sun or rain.
• Irene (4/5): Disappointing - The staff was very nice and helpful but the room had a very strong mold smell
• Dominika (8/5): Very good -
• Lesley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claire (10/5): Exceptional -
• Salomé (8/5): Nice place to stay in Rasdhoo :) - The 2 hosts are really nice, Diane explained very well how to get the speedboat and came to pick us up at the ferry so we wouldn’t get lost ! Diane also organised the speedboat for the day we left. The rooms are nice, clean and quiet. Breakfast could be changed a bit more often, we had almost the same thing every day over 5 days.
• Francis (9/5): Kind and Caring - The staff at the hotel completely made this holiday for me . As a solo traveler they were attentive and knew where I was and what I was doing each day . Nothing was too much trouble for them . Miss Dianne and Coco made my holiday. The facilities are starting to look a little tired now . The rooms are dated and the mattress firm. The staff do a great job repainting it and keeping it tidy but it must be a struggle for them .
• Antonio (8/5): Great stay! - Amazing stay! Comfortable, clean, good value for money. Wifi was unreliable, it didnt work for videocalls. Bathroom smelled a bit often.
• Giuseppe (10/5): Good stay - Clean large room, comfy bed, good air con, friendly yet professional staff. Massive bathroom! I think my stay was really good value for money. I also booked the snorkel tour with the hotel again good value and was able to see sharks eagle rays and a turtle. Nothing
• Celina (9/5): A Solid Choice on Rasdhoo - Diane and her nephew, who run Palm Residence, are the stars. They are welcoming, helpful, accomodating and polite. We really liked the breakfast on an open air patio. It is buffet style with a good variety. There is coffee, tea and water available all day. Rasdhoo is small so Palm Residence is close walking to anywhere on the island. There are some masks and fins to borrow for free. The Superior Queen room was quiet and a decent size, hot water available at all times. There is a dryer to dry wet clothes before packing to leave. I think this is a solid choice on Rasdhoo and would recommend it. The room is a bit tired looking. We had no toilet seat. The booking said TV although there was only a bracket on the wall. We found the bed uncomfortable, the mattress and the pillows were very hard. The dead bolt on the door didn't work.
• Tural (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is a 5-6 minute walk from the beach, and the room we stayed in was comfortable and clean, with a spacious bathroom. The hotel staff, Diane and Coco, are incredible; they are always cheerful and helpful with everything. I needed a birthday cake for my daughter, which is hard to find on the island, and Diana not only arranged the cake but also helped us with the birthday celebration. Coco is always there to assist whenever needed.Diane helped us find a boat for our arrival and departure, and they also welcomed us at the port and saw us off. We thank Diane and Coco for everything, and if we visit Rashdoo again, we will definitely choose this place once more. Greetings to Diane and Coco!
• Cliff (9/5): This is one of the best guesthouses on Rasdhoo. You can not go wrong booking here. -
• Aljaz (8/5): Very good -
• Marie (10/5): Best Hosts, big rooms, nice stay🫰 - Miss Diane and her Nephew are wonderful People, going beyond to make your stay the best you could have. They pick you up, help with bookings, give recommendations and even cut your fruit if you bring some in :) i felt more than comfortable, even as a woman alone. we had nice chats and i would recommend the place to everybody. besides that, the room was clean, lots of towels, huuuge bathroom and at all very good value. matress is a little hard but i recognized thats what it is everywhere in the maldives :) the small garden is perfect to relax, shops and restaurants are close - the island is not big, so everything is close anyhow. breakfast is very good, they even let me have early breakfast because of my diving schedule. loved it here!
• Istvan (9/5): Superb -
• Andre (10/5): Exceptional - Very good Maldivian Breakfast, Diane cared about the transfers and everything, thanks so much.
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jtansey (10/5): Perfect stay in Rasdu, nice breakfast everyday, very friendly staff and seconds from the beach - Perfect stay in Rasdu, nice breakfast everyday, very friendly staff and the beach is literally 20 seconds away.
• Anna (8/5): - Diana,la encargada del hotel nos ha tratado súper bien …. Nos recomendó los mejores lugares para cenar, incluso nos acompañó el primer día . Muy atenta en todo momento .
• Anđrey (9/5): Great place for individual traveller with high level of hospitality and great price - Super nice, polite, helpful and friendly staff. Great big clean room. Good location. Very silent air-conditioner. Great breakfast (both continental and Maldivian breakfast are great). Free drinking water, tea and coffee at any time. Bath. Maybe for someone bed will be hard. No TV in the room (but room's info on Booking.com specified that TV is provided). Little brokes of some stuff. And the biggest disadvantage is that it is a little bit noisy because the room is located near the reception on the 1st floor. This is a small cozy guesthouse, they have no huge building. There are only 6 rooms: 3 on the first floor near reception, and another 3 rooms on the 2nd floor, but also near a public area (guest hall with tea/coffee, etc). So in any room it will probably be sometimes noisy because you will hear reception's or other guest's activities. But for their price and very great service this disadvantage is not a problem, I think. But if you want absolute silence and privacy - probably this place is not a good option for you.
• Falzon (9/5): Superb - It is value for money, nice and quiet Breakfast should be upgrad
• Anastasia (9/5): Beautiful place to stay - Beautiful place to stay, big room, comfortable bed, shower and bath in bathrooms, on the restaurant street, beautiful garden.
• Marco (8/5): NICE STAY - JUST NOT AT PALM RESIDENCE... - I don't really know the positive sides of Palm Residence... as I did not stay at Palm Residence, but at QUICKSAND - which was very nice. Nice room, clean and fair priced, would stay there again. So even if this score goes to Palm Residence - I repeat - I stayed at QUICKSAND. That I did NOT STAY AT PALM RESIDENCE, they are clearly double-booking (it was the 7the time on Rasdhoo for me and I know half of the accomodations-managers there) - it is a common practice, to fill the hotel with Booking.com and then still take bookings elsewhere - I just DO NOT APPRECIATE being given something else than I book, it's not fair towards the paying customer. Having said that, I still give an 8 on the review, but I definitely would expect Booking.com to do something, as there is surely an agreement about these things NOT happening.
• Miguel (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Personal, clean, great breakfast, everything works well
• Simone (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bojan (8/5): Great small well run hotel - A nice and cozy small hotel The tv was not working
• Leocolo82 (9/5): Superb - Diana and Shariff were always helpful when needed. breakfast was amazing and the room was always cleaned when asked. a little bit of smell came from the bathroom pipes
• Falzon (7/5): Good - Basic everything That they don't do room cleaning
• Trevor (3/5): Poor -
• Anetara (9/5): Superb - Support in pick up/delivery of baggages from ferry terminal, fast accomodation to the room, drinking water and coffee/tea, wifi, swimming equipment at place
• Krisztina (10/5): Clean, 20m from the beach, nice staff - The beach is very close. You can sit on the balcony. The breakfast is enough. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is clean and cozy.
• Andrea (7/5): Good -
• Mara (9/5): A lovely, hospitable guest house with a beautiful patio and kind staff. - The palm residence is a simple, nice guest house with normal rooms, fridge, bathrooms with shower and bathtub. AC in the room, drinking water in the lobby, kettle with coffee and tea bags on the first floor. Price-performance-ratio is on spot. The staff made the stay even better: always around and ever helpful. Sharid picked me up at and brought me back to the harbor transporting my luggage on a cart, bringing breakfast every day to the first floor eating area. The breakfast (Mas Huni - so good) was done by lovely Diane, fruits changing daily and choice between western or maldivian breakfast. She is most of the day in the lobby and eager to help with tours and advice. Thank you two for a wonderful stay!
• Lev (8/5): Very good -
• Anna (10/5): Quiet guesthouse with amazing Staff - Diana and Sharif were such a great hosts. Both are always smiling and trying to help you. The room was very clean, and they helped to book the boat transfers to the island. The location is also good, the island is quite small, you are very near the bikini beach and there is a restaurant on the same street. I did not like the boat transfer company (Coral Rashdoo). This has nothing to do with the hotel, but that boat company should offer a better service. Bear in mind For the transfer it is better if you pay in Dollars and not maldivian Rufyia.
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was very good, thank you.
• Cristian (9/5): Nice for short stay during island hopping - Very friendly and courteous stuff. Very clean. Good breakfast. Room with AC. Equipped with bathtub and shower. Nice outside area for chilling A bit pricey for what you get. But good for Maldivian standards
• Tamara (10/5): Amazing room and breakfast! - Everything! Spacious and well equipped room, with bath and shower in the toilet. The staff is amazing and the breakfast is a 10. Highly recommended! Nothing! All perfect!
• Michael (10/5): I can only recommend! - Proximity to the beach, cleanliness, despite the construction going on nearby, it is very quiet and peaceful. The breakfasts are delicious. The staff Diana and Sarif are very kind and helpful!
• Viktoria (6/5): Pleasant - I was greeted at the port and brought to the hotel which was a really nice touch. The host was nice if a bit clueless (could not really give me information on the ferry times). Breakfast was really nice with fresh fruit. The wifi was pretty bad in the hotel and sadly the bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. The hotel is surrounded by several construction sites which means that the view is not really nice and you could hear the construction in the morning.
• Biju (10/5): It was so nice and a lovely place to stay! - Thank you Palm Residence for your exceptional hospitality and care. I would rate 10/10 and more that that if I could. You were so nice to me and arranged everything. Thank you for the special dinner prepared for me during my last stay and it was so tasty :) You have also decorated my bed and provided a warm welcome on my arrival which was so nice also taken me out for a tour. You made me feel like home. Thank you for everything. Many thanks to Diana who is very kind, helpful and friendly and she helped me with everything through out my stay and made me feel like a special guest. I felt like my home during my stay at Palm Residence. Thank you Diana for taking care of me and made my stay wonderfull! You are Amazing! Many thanks to Ruth, Widya, Mohammed and Thol for your great friendship. You were so kind and helpful. Thank you and I really enjoyed your company and great friendship :) Everything was perfect and I really enjoyed my stay at Palm Residence. Looking forward to visit again :) Pros The Beach is behind the residency 100 meters. Bikini beach just on the same beach. Just walk 300 to 400 meters to right on the same beach behind the hotel to reach the bikini beach. Rooms were very clean, has a bath tub, AC and a balcony. Has a beautiful garden. Free snokeling equipment provided Provides customized activitites and excursions with discounted cost if you are on a budget. Just let them know what you like to do and they will plan all activities for you on a discounted price. They can arrange everything like snokeling, fishing, diving, kayaking, sandbank visit etc Every 2 days they replace the towels and clean the room. You have to request because they cannot enter your room without your permission Has drinking water at room, new water bottles can be taken from the 2nd floor, or from ground floor, fridge in your room and an expresso maker at the common room. Nothing. Everything was perfect! Love the place and people there at Palm Residence :)
• Sholpan (10/5): Exceptional - It's a beautiful place. Hotel is comfortable and clear. Location is very good, everything is near. The hotel staff is polite and friendly. We are grateful to the administration for their warm welcome, it was great! The breakfast is very good
• Timothy (9/5): Superb -
• Jaime (10/5): Very good value for money, Staff super helpfull and friendly. - The property is very well maintained and in good condition, rooms are good and have everything needed. The water was fresh and no bad smell (an issue that apparently is quite common in the island). You hace breakfast in the upper terrace fresh and confy.
• Darren (10/5): wonderful - very friendly and helpful staff. Great location and room was clean and spacious
• Minami (9/5): Superb - staffs are very nice, reliable and always in the hotel, which never happened to us while we were staying at other hotels in Maldive so that we were happy with them.
• Lizanna-michell (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tomasz (8/5): I did not get a room with balcony. The host gave me 2 dinners to recompensate that which was fair . - The room was really comfortable. Lack of tv channels. Insects
• Andrey (8/5): Very good -
• Aino (7/5): Good -
• Times (8/5): great - great clean and great, staff are helpful
• Santiago (8/5): Good for the price - Nice personel, very helpfull. Very clean room. Decent food. Good for the price Bed could be softer,
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We very much enjoyed our stay at Palm Residence. There was a bit of a language barrier, but the staff were all excellent and the room was very nice.
• FELIPE (8/5): Rasdhoo is amazing - This guesthouse in very good in structure
• Verified traveler (6/5): Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis 100% - Hotel gut, Bedienung sehr nett, Manager sehr zuvorkommend. Insel jedoch nicht schön, Maledivengefühl kommt bei dieser Insel nicht auf, da Einheimischen Insel, schmutzig, absolutes Alkoholverbot, Strand mittelmäßig. Man kann jedoch vom Hotel sämtliche Ausflüge buchen (gegen Bezahlung) und man wird mit Boot zu sehr schönen Plätzen gebracht mit türkisfarbenen Meer und wunderschönen weißen Sandstränden, wie man es aus Katalogen kennt. Schnorchel und Tauchmöglichkeiten gibt es viele. Die Unterwasserwelt ist unvergesslich. Fazit: Hotel empfehlenswert, Insel nicht
• Verified traveler (8/5): Clean Guest House - Place was new and very clean. Food was plentiful and good. Notmu h to do on this small island except relax. Owner gave free boat ride to sand bar which we appreciated.
