Guest Houses in Goidu

This is run like a mini resort, maybe 12 rooms; comfortable and well looked after, very nice beds and bedding, nicely landscaped, attentive staff, excellent location, probably the best all around stay that I found in my 5 island "tour" for the purpose of snorkeling and relaxing. The hotel has a very nice beach area with a few lounges and the "bikini beach" is a very short walk down the beach road, it is in a beautiful area with excellent swimming and some snorkeling (you have to look for it out from the hotel dining/lounging area, beyond where the boat is anchored and around the white buoy. Ask the owner/manager) . There are bicycles to rent

The staff is very very nice!!! And the food is very good! Secluded and peacefull! Was a nice experience !

It was a lovely stay in a beautiful villa. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

We stayed at Villa Laguna and really enjoyed it. The hotel is new, very clean, with stylish and bright rooms. The bathroom was modern and comfortable. Everything felt fresh and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. Breakfast was decent and fresh. The hotel is located a bit away from the beach, but in a quiet area near the port, which is great for evening walks along the promenade. A special thanks to the hotel manager — he stayed in touch, helped us book a speedboat, and gave clear directions on how to find it. Overall, a great place for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

We stayed at The Corbin for 9 nights and it was amazing!!! Shai and Aiman were so sweet, caring and did absolutely everything they could to make our stay feel like a dream. On our first day they greet us with flowers necklaces and then took us to tour of the island- genius idea! We went on 3 trips and each was perfect. Idyllic picnic beach, snorkeling, surfing among dolphins and watching manta rays- everything was perfect! We asked for many trips to be organized and they did everything they could to let us get to know the beautiful, local side of the Maldives. They even invited us to an evening barbecue on the beach with their family and other guests- an amazing experience. Shai is the best photographer, and catches every single moment of our journey. You can see the huge amount of work and heart that the family puts into creating this place. The place is quite small which adds to a family atmosphere. The rooms were cleaned every day, towels and bedding regularly changed. Everything was clean and the rooms were surrounded by beautiful plants that the owners' mother takes care of. An additional plus for the shower and hangers outside the rooms :). A great chef who prepared delicious food with the possibility of delivery to the bikini beach. As far as the bikini beach is concerned it is 10 minutes by bike (you can rent it for 5 dollars per day) from the guest house and looks like something out of this world and in addition it is empty (we were the only ones there, practically the whole trip). The island is quite small (800 inhabitants) which made us feel at home. A beautiful pitch and skatepark 3 minutes by bike. The shop literally 2 minutes on foot. Everything you may need was close. Everyone was always smiling and willing to help. Shai talks with sincere interest about life and culture on the island which helped us get to know it better. The owners did absolutely everything to make us remember this trip! You can really feel at home.

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.

Really lovely staff, all keen for a chat. The food is excellent. Really large portion sizes. The breakfast was always a delight. We are vegetarian, and were given a variety each day. It was a highlight. The restaurant is very popular at dinner time, so they are less flexible on customisations, but there are good vegetarian options anyway. Even on our 7am ferry leaving Fulladhoo, they packed a small takeaway breakfast, which was very appreciated. The ferry trips were also organised by Palms Retreat. I had tried to organise them myself, but the ferry company doesn't reply. So it, was good to have this help. I think it was a small surchage. The bed mattress is extremely comfortable. It is memory foam I think. It has convinced me I need memory foam at home. Our room was very nice, with a good seating area, and kettle. The bathroom was nice, the shower got hot enough, which we have not had at all places we've stayed in Maldives. All the facilities are really clean, modern, comfortable. There are lots of places to chill out in the downstairs restaurant / common area. The sandy area was delightful to watch many kids play and bond. We were given a great briefing on the island, where is good to snorkel and swim, other restaurants and shops, and the activities on offer. Including, that we could split costs for activities if more rooms were coming. A local driver Musushin was able to take us to the exact location of the coral restoration happening, and tell us about the cameras installed in the reef, which was the main reason we came to Fulladhoo. The locals are very friendly too. One of the owners, Aiman took us out to see Manta Rays, but we didn't see any! Instead we were still able to have a great snorkelling experience, at a depth we weren't able to access without the boat. And we say Eagle Rays, turtles, dolphins, moray eel, and many fish and star fish.

Very well managed guest house. Has all basic amenities and cleanliness. The manager mr samanta corordinated right from the airport pickup to drop and guided us at every step.he and and other staff worked round the clock for comfort of guests. They even went out of the way to cook indian dishes as we were not satisfied with the European dishes . The breakfast was great too. The most important part was the price of excursions which was a fraction of what they charge at resorts. We had a great trip because of Azoush hotel and it's staff.

An absolutely amazing experience! Goidhoo is quite a remote island and it's not very popular among tourists, so it's perfect if you want to experience the Maldivian culture and hospitality, as well as to observe the nature. The Coral Castle is located right in the center of the village and very close to the beach. The staff are very friendly and have kindly accommodated all my requests. They helped me to arrange snorkeling trips and transfer back to Male by a supply boat. I stayed in a dorm room, but I was alone there throughout my stay. My room was clean, comfortable and air-conditioned. I would recommend Coral Castle and Goidhoo island to everyone who wants to have a quiet holiday and to interact with the local community.

phenomenal island, super welcoming host, great tours, amazing food (especially the lobster thermidor!)
