Very nice and calm place on a small island. Close to the bikini beach, kind and helpful staff, although very busy (just two people for the whole place) and thus not available at some moments. Not their fault though.
The breakfast was ok, you get to choose from 4 options, dinners also good, especially local fish.
The snorkeling trip was great.
Thank you guys for making our stay pleasant.

Location is close to the jetty and a 5 minute walk to bikini beach. The owner was friendly and accommodating (unlike the staff). He organized my private boat to Feridhoo for a reasonable rate. This was a last minute request as the public ferry was canceled on account of it being the 1st day of Ramadan. Room had an electric kettle with complimentary tea bags and coffee sachets - nice touch.
Offering a restaurant, Lagoon View Maldives is located in AA Bodufolhudhoo. Free WiFi access is available in the public areas of the property.

Honestly speaking, staff was nice and polite and some sea creatures like nurse sharks and manta rays were visiting the harbour on a daily basis, it was pleasing to watch them. The isle itself is very small, but has some "infrastructure" like gift shops and a tiny hospital. Not so many people, never overcrowded.
Coral reefs around are not impressive, but still alive...

Situated in the best place on the island. Peaceful. Stunning setting with beautiful beach and gorgeous blues of the Indian ocean in front of the hotel. Room was very clean.

I have been looking for cheap, simple but comfortable accommodation and I definitely found it! Ever Blue Guest House has only 4 rooms with share livingroom and also terrace dinning and kitchen which I could use.
Room:
comfortable bed (I like hard mattress), small fridge, TV, AC, fan, hairdryer, spacious bathroom with toilet, towels, beach towel, drying rack, daily water. What else do you wish for? Room was daily cleaned which I didn’t need.
Breakfast:
They always asked me what time I would like to have a breakfast and what would I like to have (I am not breakfast person plus have GF diet). I end up just with eggs and fruit but have been offered pancakes, sausages etc.
Kitchen and dining area:
I could use the kitchen and make my own food, coffee, tea.
The great addition are also ceiling fans in dining area (they are actually everywhere) as when it’s really hot and humid this helps massively.
I have to say huge thank you to the owner for helping me when weather was extremely bad and public boat was cancelled. He managed to find a private boat to take me to my next island.
It was lovely to talk to him every evening and learn about his family, life on the island and much more.

Pavan was an excellent host, making sure we had fresh towels, beach towels, fabulous breakfast every day, and arranging our speedboat transfers, personally greeting us on arrival and seeing us off at 530am! Thank you Pavan

The location was perfect, just a few steps away from Bikini Beach, making it very convenient for enjoying the sea and relaxing. The host, Imma, was always very helpful, ready to provide excellent tips and organize excursions. The grilled fish dinner cooked by Imma was delicious and definitely one of the highlights of my stay.
The bathroom could have been better maintained. It appeared a bit neglected, and occasionally there was an unpleasant smell. Improving this aspect would greatly enhance the overall comfort of the stay.

We were picked up from the harbor and shown around the island, which was cool. However, we didn't really feel comfortable there. The rooms are nice and new, but everything seemed a bit careless to us. The staff always seem to be busy. We did a nurse shark tour, which was only 25€ per person, but you were only in the water for 30 minutes. There is a kayak for the picnik islamd, but because of the wind we couldn't use it and had to pay 20€ for the 30 second crossing, which is really crass. We were able to hand in our laundry for cleaning, but instead of getting it back in the evening as promised, we got it back the day after next wet in a crumpled bag and had to pay €10. When you check in, you sign a contract that does not allow you to take tours with other providers on the island, although the overnight stay was good value for money, the rest was quite expensive. I hope the service and staff develop for future guests.

Everything was perfect, clean rooms good wifi and amazing Maldivean breakfast everyone should try. The guesthouse owner was always ready to answer all of our questions and requests.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
This is a charming lodge near the centre of the small island, within a short walk to amenities. The lodge is very peaceful and quiet, and is set inside a private courtyard. Rooms are large, comfortable, and well-appointed, with lots of natural light, great electrical and AC. Facility is simple but has strong design aspect that underlines the experience of being here. Breakfast is included with stay; snorkeling equipment also available. Service is excellent.
Nice room, good food, staff was very friendly and helpfull, bikini beach is just a couple of steps from the hotel. Nice and quiet place to relax and enjoy beautiful nature. Also nice snorkeling point.
location was great. dinner as part of the accomodation was at local restaurant which was fabulous. loved the Maldivian breakfast. host had great humour.
Most things that I like, related to the island in general. But since this hotel situated on the island, they also related to it.
First of all the island has excellent beach with calm water, clean white sand and beautiful coral reef.
Also the island has quiet countryside atmosphere.
Breakfast is continental or Maldivian and the host is providing special requests too. The location is very good and the host is providing everything you need like free sunbed chairs at the Bikini Beach especially for the guest house or snorkeling equipment. In front of the guesthouse there a children playground. The staff were extremely helpful and made us feel like we are visiting friends.
We did shark feeding every night and host arranged boat fishing and BBQ at the house afterwards.
Good price and price/quality ratio, comfortable bed, helpful host (Hassan). The place was close to the beach, of this very quiet and calm island. Breakfast was tasty, but every day was the same (toasts, fried egg, sousage, jam, juice, butter), the internet connection was good, house reef was great and living.
