A very cozy and clean facility, exceptionally positive and welcoming staff, receptionists, waitors, support staff and the cook, and a very helpful and hospitable hotel manager Rafi. A highly recommended place to stay in this little piece of paradise, full of kindness and positive vibes

Room had a massive glass window facing in the main area only covered by curtains. A reflective membrane as the door had could be used. Also the view of the window was just facing into a wall. If these two things were fixed, our stay would be absolutely perfect!

Great services and staff! Staff was so helpful and helped us book all of our activities!

Location is a bit far from beach. You need to walk 5 mins

Exceptional staff service. Riffa is an amazing care taker. We felt home. Arranged everything for us. Gave us early check in and decorated the bed.

Nothing really. I loved everything!

I love that it’s very clean and there’s daylight when you enter the lobby. it’s spacious and the ambiance inside is relaxing. I also love that at the breakfast area, the buffet food is of really good quality and tasty. They have a few healthy selections and it was more than enough to fill your belly for breakfast. They serve it with tea, juice and coffee. The room that I stayed in which was on the 2nd floor was spacious and clean and has daylight too. The shower room has a big shower head and I loved it. It’s perfect after a fun water activity outside. I was also surprised with the terrace area where you can actually sit and relax and take coffee in the morning when you wake up. I really appreciate the ladies at the reception for being so kind and warmly welcoming and for providing assistance every time I have a request or questions. And most of all Rafi, the hotel manager, for all the efforts in helping me book my tours, picking me up and dropping me off by the dock every time for my excursions and airport transfers and for always being connected online to provide support and assistance when I have questions. I love that he recommended awesome activities for me to enjoy during my stay and that he’s quite knowledgeable with everything Maldives. I also appreciate that he’s ever smiling and kind during our interactions. I also want to mention that after the fishing trip, Rafi had the 2 fish cooked and served them with rice, tomatoes and carrots and added a delicious fresh watermelon juice! And with the cute “enjoy dinner” sign using seashells on the table. It was lovely and I was so touched. I picked the best hotel in Maafushi. I made the right decision. And the next time I come back, I’ll definitely stay at the same hotel.

The property is absolutely beautiful and clean. a newly built hotel with nice spacious rooms, clean bathroom and provides a nice breakfast. The staff were absolutely lovely and always made me feel welcome from the ladies and gentlemen at the reception and even the chef. I had a great birthday due to all the staff and they even decorated my room for me and even got me a cake. I will definitely go back to Arora View if I ever come back to Maafushi. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

the food was not great. The selection for the breakfast was pretty small - boiled eggs(i suspect a day old eggs), omelette, hot dogs, toast, jam..

amazing staff, the rooms were clean

Stayed in May 2023

The location was a bit far from everything. We almost didn't catch our flight home because the hotel staff gave us the wrong information about ferry times going to the airport. There is an ongoing construction to the accommodation, which was noisy throughout the day and night.

The rooms were clean, air con worked well, showers were hot.

staff are irresponsible for our luggage. i missed my boat obviously because of their mistake but they never admitted it and expressed as “miscommunication “ , meaning it is our mistake too. unacceptable.

spacious room

Stayed in January 2025

The room was clean, as was the bedding, but our pillows had mold spots and we requested they were changed. There was no sea view, despite our booking suggesting that there was. Breakfast was basic.

Balcony was nice.

too far from the main Beach (Bikini Beach), Breakfast was ordinary, The room was not sound proof (you can hear your neighbors). Not enough toiletries (only shampoos).

The staff was friendly and helpful, Room was neat and clean, a very big BED for Two person, lots of drinking Water.

Never again. My room had no balcony and no window facing outside, just one glass wall facing the hallway, and everyone could look into your room. Nightmare. The architect should lose his licence. Aquarium feeling, and you are the fish. Or you close the curtain, and you are in a dark prison. On top of it, strong humidity smell. The bed was hard as rock. It was totally unconfortable, and so was the pillow. Thousands of motorbikes and motorscooters drive along as the motel is located on the main road. This brings pollution and you breathe it in. Plus, it can wake you up at night.

Breakfast was OK.

We had a great stay at Arora view. Rooms are clean and fresh. It is just new guesthouse, 8 months since opened. Breakfast was amazing. Daily different food in buffet with Maldivian touch ( masshuni with roshi) Must try! The best! Hotel is offering complimentary snorkeling gear for excursions and sand toys for kids. The most awesome part of the stay is the staff of hotel, starting from manager Rifau and finishing with all ladies from reseption and staff from restaurant: Shirami, Khiru, Asmitha, Tulsi, Asmi, Nissanka (chef). They were super attentive. My 1 year old daughter was very happy with each of them. They all try to play with her, interact, which was very cute. At the end of the stay they even gifted us with handmade paints. We will miss all of them.

The best place to relax

Stayed in November 2023

- They say the balcony room is sea-view on this app but there is no sea-view from anywhere on the property. - We also didn’t get the room we booked on our first night and they only shifted us to our actual room on day 2. - When you’re coming back to the island after a trip, don’t expect them to pick you up and take you to the hotel if it’s raining. Everyone else’s hotels sent someone to pick them up but Arora didn’t pick us and told us they don’t offer this service. - When checking out, we forgot a necklace in our room and they didn’t inform us that we forgot something even after room service went in to clean. It was only after we told them that we forgot our necklace that they went to their store room and gave it back to us. - I left my sunglasses in the lobby when leaving the hotel and I remembered right when I was out the door and I could see them already taking my sunglasses and leaving to go upstairs until I stopped them and told them to give it back to me. - They don’t offer a beach candlelight dinner as they say their trolley cart is apparently broken. They charged us the same amount but did our candlelight dinner in the lobby of the hotel.

- The manager was able to book us a very last minute day trip which wouldn’t have been possible if we tried booking it on our own. - The chef cooked the best food I’ve ever had. We even did a candlelight dinner at the property and I’ve never had food as good as I had that day.
