If you are about to book a stay in Maldives it is important to note that there are two possibilities i.e. a resort island or a local island. Depending on your preference one or the other will suite you better. Staying in a local island gives you an inside into the local lifestyle, food and culture where the resorts tend to isolate you from everything. The Felidhoo islands is a capitol of the atoll close to Male which means it is the most populous (~500 inhabitants) and has more sophisticated infrastructure compared to the smaller once. It is though a very quite place that will offer you holidays from your dreams. It has an amazing coral reef full of see life including sting rays, lobster and muraenas! In one of the corners of the marina there is a place where sharks are coming by in the evening for feeding. The island does not offer much of dining options thus it is strongly recommended to book the stay with three meals included. Please note that since Maldives is a Muslim country, it is not allowed to drink alcohol on the island, and there are two dedicated bikini beaches for the tourists - a narrower next to the hotel and a wider one couple minutes of walk. Masfalhi View Inn itself is perfect vacation destination. The owner (Rauf) was a great host, that was an amazing source of knowledge about the country, culture and life of the Maldivians. We had a room from the pictures, and it was exceptionally clean in the very good condition. Rauf is a great chef that was preparing delicious meals (mostly see food). The guest house offers several excursions including swimming with sharks, ship wreck and uninhabited island which are all very worthy to sign up for. Do not hesitate to book a stay, you will have amazing holidays!

A great little hotel on a great little island. Holidays for families with young children or those who love diving and snorkeling. Rauf is a very attentive owner. It's interesting to talk to him about local traditions and history. The personal is very friendly. The hotel is clean and tidy. Lunches and dinners are very tasty, there is fresh fish every day. I advise you to try fishing on the high seas, you will not regret it. My 6-year-old son caught a bunch of fish. There is a hospital on the island, several small shops, a small bikini beach, there are no restaurants and cafes( except Tropicafe with poor options of food).The tourists were mainly from Europe.

Masfalhi View inn is the nicest place we have stayed in Maldives. All of the guesthouse staff was amazing, the food at the restaurant delicious and the room spacious, cozy, very clean and quiet. Bathroom was well renovated. Location is great, just next to the bikini beach. Felidhoo is a lovely island with good house reef for snorkeling. There’s also excellent dive center on the island. It’s a 12/10, we had a perfect stay!!

The facility is very nice and clean. The owner Rauf is a very kind and helpful person: he made our stay in the Masfalhi View Inn unforgettable. We booked the solution with only breakfast but since the chef Paul is really good at cooking (and I'm Italian) we had dinner every evening in the GH. Thanks therefore to Rauf, with his availability and kindness, and to Paul, a great chef, companion to visit the sharks and new friend, who made our first time in the Maldives a wonderful experience!

ould like to recommend Masfalhi View Inn to those who want an authentic Maldives experience on a local island with friendly and helpful hosts, delicious tasty homemade and fresh food, clean and nice rooms. Tell Rauf what you would like, and he will do his best to arrange it. We were excited about the snorkeling trip to the wreck and the three fishing trips we went on. Otherwise, we spent the time talking to Rauf and Java to learn more about the Maldives. snorkel from the beach and fish from the pier. Don't expect a Resort - but the experience is 5 star.

We stayed 9 days at Masfalhi and enjoyed our stay from the first moment. Rauf and his staff are professionals with attitude, they really like what they do and therefore every detail in this house is taken care of, with good humour and impeccable service. The meals were fresh and tasty, and varied every day. Rauf himself fished and cooked and had always time to share stories and information. House was very well equipped for snorkling so next time no need to carry anything. Bikini beach is very close and trips easily organized. People in this small island were friendly. Our warm recommendation to this charming place.

Nothing to complain.

We enjoy the vibe of the place, the authenticity of it. The Inn was very cozy, the owner Mr. Rauf was more than kind, he welcomed us and gave us all the necessary information about the island, provided us with equipment for snorkeling and he also cooked an absolutely delicious dinner for us. We are very grateful that we had the chance to stay with you, it was the first maldivian experience. The island is small, but with a lot of magic and the people from it are very kind.

The host and staff were friendly and very helpful. We had interesting conversations with Mr Rauf, Mr Jarva and Mr Paul and they were always ready to provide assistance when asked. The proximity to the beachfront makes this location a good getaway for those seeking sun and relaxation.

Small quite hotel (I can't call it guesthouse really, cause it's way better) with extremely friendly and helpful owner. His dinners from self-caught fish were absolutely delightful, you definitely want to try them. Location is great, very nice home reef nearby with a lot of corals, fish, stingrays, nurse sharks — great for snorkeling. Also great diving center just opened in the neighboring house, definitely would recommend too. The Island is small and quiet, I almost see no other tourists.

Отличный бюджетный отдых на Мальдивах. While planning the holidays I was looking for an island with a guesthouse and a good house reef, and Masfalhi lodge was the right place. We were the only guests there so place is really calm and homy. We had meals 3 time a day (with only water offered for lunch and dinner), snorkeling equipment was offered also for extra 5 usd/day. The reef. After the very first step into the ocean my son saw sting ray, and that was amazing! I didn't even believe within the first 3 days we've seen all the seacreatures we was looking for, and each not just once: sting rays and eagle rays, manta ray, mooray eels, turtles, and one of them have been swimming next to me for about 20 minutes! Sharks! Nurse sharks and reef sharks, we saw 4 times! Corals are not bright and colourful though, mostly brownish. The house owner arranged diving for us, he can also arrange fishing or whatever else you like. Island is not small, mostly locals live there. Ferry price to Felidhoo is 55 USD per person but the other guesthouse could charge you more - 60 or even 65, so be aware (I booked another guesthouse first and he asked 65 one way from each of us). They cleaned the room almost daily.

AC was too loud. Sometimes there were also moscitoes.
