Avi Guesthouse

The hotel is well-located and reasonably priced, but it feels like the renovations aren't quite finished yet.

What a fantastic guesthouse! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, exceeding all expectations. I was shocked that the price was so low! We were so pleased that they greeted us with a coconut and explained everything, and when we were leaving (the transfer was at 6 a.m.), they asked us what we wanted for breakfast and even got up and made sandwiches for us. SUPERB SERVICE, a real shock in a good way :)

We're very happy with this hotel. Everyone is very nice and the staff is very helpful. Manju is simply super! He helped organize everything we needed! Choose this hotel and come relax! We recommend it.

Majudhee, the manager, is very helpful and attentive to guests' requests. Breakfasts are decent.

The hotel is very clean, the staff is friendly and polite. The receptionist helped us arrange excursions without leaving the hotel at a good price, the breakfast was wonderful, though it's a shame you have to rent bikes for an extra fee. Otherwise, everything was great!

Great guesthouse! I recommend it! The bed is very comfortable! The internet is good! Everything you need is there!

A decent budget hotel for the price! The location is very convenient, right in the center of the island. Bikini Beach is a leisurely 10-minute walk away. There are shops and cafes nearby. There are three breakfast options to choose from. The staff is friendly; the Nepalese guys are very nice and polite. The hotel has only 5 rooms, beautiful green plants on the grounds, and some cool lizards live there. Pros: The room has a comfortable mattress and pillows. The air conditioning, fan, and plug adapter work well. Regular and beach towels are provided. The WiFi and hot water work well. There's an outdoor drying rack for wet clothes. There's no musty smell in the room. The common area at reception has a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, cream, water, and a refrigerator available 24/7. There's no hairdryer in the room, but the staff can provide one. For an additional fee, they can wash and dry your dirty clothes. Cons: The room is modest; the walls and table need some touch-ups, as they're stained. Our white bed linen had some stubborn stains. The soundproofing isn't great either; the call to prayer starts at 4:40 a.m., so bring earplugs. Advice: bring mosquito and fly repellent; they're a scourge on the entire island. Astro Cafe is a 2-minute walk from the hotel, serving delicious rice and grilled tuna for only $7. Bottom line: This is a budget option, and the hotel offers excellent value for money. If you're not picky about minor renovation issues, the location is excellent, and the staff is top-notch 🔝 Thank you, Maldives ❤️

The service was good; we were greeted, checked in, and responded to any requests promptly. The beach with turtles is a 3-minute bike ride away. Bike rentals are nearby. $5 for the whole day. The room was clean, but there were some bugs on the floor. It was fine for one night, but I wouldn't consider it a long-term stay. In the morning, you can hear the mosque and roosters crowing, and at night, you can hear someone talking outside. We packed our breakfast because we were leaving early.

I really liked this hotel. Everything was neat, clean, and cozy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We highly recommend it!
