5-stars plus!! I will never forget my stay at the Old Town Inn in Gaafaru. Not only was the hotel clean, the location beautiful, and the food great, but the people are what made the experience so wonderful. Ibrahim and Captain were so kind and made my time there feel like a retreat. The island is small and very peaceful. The beach is gorgeous and they took me on plenty of excursions including a beautiful sandbar, snorkeling, and swimming with sharks. Absolutely loved my stay there and can't wait to go back!

Old Town Inn averages 4.9 out of 5 across 27 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Wonderful stay in the Maldives! Huge thanks to Shareef and his team for making us feel at home and showing us the beautiful sights of the Maldives. Our kids highlights were the dolphin trip (we saw so many dolphins!) and snorkelling at the sand bank. Amazing experience!
Gaafaru is a very peaceful place, perfect to relax. Nice beach and lovely and friendly people. There's not much around as it's a very small village on the island. We stayed in the Old Town Inn Hotel for 5 nights, and we enjoyed it. The room was ok, the bed was comfortable. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The hotel has a list of excursions you can do, and they arrange these for you on your request. The excursions are mainly water-based since you're on a small island. The excursions include diving, snorkelling, dolphins, finishing, etc... The hotel has its own restaurant but not inside the hotel, you have to walk around 2 minutes to the restaurant.
