Everything was perfect. The room and the beds were comfortable and very clean. We had towels and toiletries. Breakfast was exceptional (we had the option of American or Maldivian breakfast). There was snorkeling equipment available free of charge. Naaish and Shohag were absolutely kind, always trying to make us feel comfortable. They're great people, and helped us with everything we needed. They arranged excursions and took care of our speed boat booking. They were waiting for us when we arrived and took us to the ferry when we left. Shohag even took us shark feeding!! I hope we can come back to Rasdhoo. If we do, Madivaru Kro will be our option without any doubt. Thank you for making our…

Lovely guesthouse where we stayed 3 nights. We haven't booked anything in advance and took 1 big room. Everyone was really kind and helped with everything we needed. Also the trip organized by them was amazing. Me and my family were really satisfied and grateful. Thank you
When I arrived here, noone was at the reception. The room was generally ok. The staff was two people, one guy from Bangladesh which was kind and some "Naaish"-guy who was pretty incompetent with absolutely everything he did. He simply does not keep his word and lies to guests. The guesthouse itself is generally good, however this guy ruins it somehow. For this reason, I would avoid this place.
