The beaches on Goidhoo are not the best but excursions are there to drop you off at any beach you want locally, which makes things more interesting in sone ways.

The hosts and staff went out of their way to make my stay a pleasure. They organised brilliant excursions and fit them into our schedules and preferences. The food was great and the accommodation was really good value for money. I’d gladly stay at Island Zephyr again soon.

We really had a great time at Island Zephyr. We appreciated the activities organized by the Maldivian owners. We had the opportunity to do amazing snorkeling trips (mantha & house reef), fishing at the sunset, hunting crabs. They also took us around the island and showed us the most noticeable things. Moreover, we could learn something about maldivian culture. The room was clean and nice, with a spacious shower. The food was always great and cheap. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Food could be better

Great staff, well maintained, clean, great value. Also, Shabeer gave a beautiful tour in a tricycle of the island when we arrived

It would be a 10 if not for the cleanliness. The staff are all men and it seems that there is no female hand on site. Unfortunately, during the 5-day stay, the room was never cleaned, let alone taken out the garbage. When we put out a bag of garbage, no one thought to give us a new one for the waste.

Location in the center of the island, 10 minutes from the marina. 2 km to the "Bikini" beach - a pleasant walk through the bush. We were offered a ride, but we didn't take it. The hotel organizes trips, but we did not take advantage of their offer. Upon arrival we were greeted with flowers and there was a floral sign on the bed saying "Welcome" The food was great. A chef from Siri Lanka prepares delicacies. For breakfast, you can choose from waffles, pancakes or a Maldivian-style breakfast - tuna salad "Roshix Tuna Salad", pancakes and a small omelette with vegetables. We remember the fish we caught (the rest was with us, because they took it fishing at our request) to this day.

Amazing stay in a beauiful island and very nice guesthouse. Room was big with spacious bathroom. The patio and common area are very comfortable and great for relax and meet other guests. The food is great! Fresh and very tasty! The owners are very kind and helpful, they do everything to make sure your stay is great! The staff of the guesthouse are very lovely, kind and respectful people! We totally love them! The bikini beach is really beautiful, located at the end of the jungle, so you can ride a bike, which are available for guests, or have a lift from the guesthouse anytime. Jungle is amazing too! The guesthouse offers wide variety of trips, so you can choose from the list and have fun at the ocean or go to another island with super nice and responsible local guide. Island is very safe and locals are very friendly!

I also have a few comments for the owners so that they can improve their service in the future. tourism on this island is very young - only a few years old, and lack of experience in the hotel business affects the quality of services. it would be nice if the owners adopted the experience of other guesthouses on more touristic islands! for example we stay 4 night and nobody propose us to clean room or change towels, foot towel in the bathroom is also missing and it’s really disturbing because after taking a shower water is everywhere. they should better manage breakfast and dinner timing, sometimes it’s on time and some times 30-1h delay! there are also few small things that staff can do better!

absolutely lovely owners, very gentle and kind, try do do everything for our pleasant stay. we appreciated that owner show us the island when we arrived and made snorkeling with us for free! free bicycles, they even gave us our own motorbike completely free of charge. good WIFI. The dinners are delicious, you can choose from the menu, there are also 3 types of breakfast to choose from. general impression of our stay is good!

The costs of the daily trips are not announced before, but afterwards the prices are pretty fair.

Very good food, especially for everyone who wants so taste the local dishes. The guesthouse organizes trips to a private island or snorceling tours.

Nothing - everything was perfect.

The owner is utterly charming, full of laughter and very considerate. His wife was also very nice and ensured we got booked onto the speed boat. The beds were decorated with bougainvillea and bathroom was a good standard and new. Nice sheets and towels. They have a fantastic Sri Lankan chef so food was great. We had amazing excursions with the owner who took every trouble to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of.

It was a true local experience and I felt part of the family. The whole experience was just the best: the island tour, fishing nights, snorkeling and cooking dinner together. Idhy the host is very friendly and always does his best to help the guest.

Nothing!

Everything! The guesthouse was amazing, beautiful gardens and common areas and the room and bathroom were lovely. Very clean and well decorated. But the best thing were the hosts. They welcomed us in like family - what amazing people! They were so warm and lovely and helpful; organising all of our activities, joining us for mealtimes, taking us around the island. We will 100% return!
