    very close to the mosque, you feel like you have a speaker above your room, so you get a wake-up call at 5am every day

    Very nice hotel, everything is in place

    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

    Property was in a good central location. Pavan was very helpful met us at the ferry and took us back at the end of our stay. He tried to accommodate any requests we had with the best of his ability. We like to have traditional Maldivian breakfast, Pavan did manage to accommodate our request for this on two days but the other days we were given continental breakfast which is disappointing, I dint want continental breakfast in the Maldives.

    Some maintenance inside the rooms might be helpful to put the level a notch higher, but these are really just details.

    Our stay was great! We really enjoyed our time in Mathiveri, a true Maldivian island. The property is really nice, placed centrally in the island with everything within reach. Pawan was great and really helped us with everything we might have needed. I hope we can come back soon.

    Breakfast could be better Close to the mosque, so you will be awaken quite early (but that’s to be respected, as it’s part of the culture of the Maldives)

    In the center of the island Super welcoming and helpful staff Bathroom is big and equipped Nice facility garden to read and relax Awesome value for money

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Vacanza Mathiveri, and it was an outstanding experience! Abdulla, the owner, was incredibly available and went above and beyond to assist us. Whether it was arranging transportation, setting up excursions, or helping with any other needs, he was always there to help. The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming, making for a truly relaxing stay. Breakfast was always fresh and delicious, adding a lovely start to each day. I can't recommend this hotel enough for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway. Thank you, Abdulla, for making my stay so memorable!

    The guesthouse is small (only four rooms) and welcoming. Each room is also very simple: Mathiveri is a local island so forget about the stereotype of resort and luxory, but the structure is cleaned and you will have all you need to stay confortable and enjoy your vacation. But, what more than everything else made our stay really great was Non Powan, the guy who is in charge of the guesthouse management. He’s so kind and willing, always trying to help you enjoy your days. Last but not least, we really suggest to take advantage of the to partnership that the guesthouse is offering: the first one is with, we think, the best restaurant in the island: Irube Cafè. The second one is with PADI, one of the excursions centres of Mathiveri. Very recommended!

    That there was no window (in fact the window had to be draped as it looked out on the internal yard) Maybe they should serve pancakes beside the eggs they do different styles (omelette/ fried/ boiled)

    quite big ,comfortable family room (1 double bed, 1 single bed), clean, nice shower very good lunches and dinners - very tasty local food !

    You can hear loud prayers from nearby Mosque so you can be woked up early in the morning 😉

    I highly recommend the guest house Vacanza Mathiveri for an exceptional stay. The clean rooms, warm hospitality, and breathtaking views create a memorable experience. The staff's attentiveness and local insights ensure a genuine Maldivian encounter, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking both comfort and cultural immersion.

    I’m fully recommending spending vacations here. Hotel is well-kept, clean and charming run by super nice and professional people. Rooms have air conditioning, fridge, safe lock. We’ve been on some trips organised by the owner of Vacanza: manta rays, great coral reef, sharks and whale sharks and I think we’re gonna remember them for the rest of our lives! Just added photos from them. You can also try your hand in scuba diving or even do a courses like OWD with guarantee professionalism. They have special qualifications and diving equipment. And hotel is also situated in beautifull island, where coral reef is full of various life and people are unbelievably kind. I’m bery satisfied and rested after spending time here and I’ll gladly come back

    Cleaning and room service on request. Everything else is fine

    Beautiful, quiet and cozy accommodation with pleasant staff. The rooms are clean, cozy and the bathroom has an open window with a view of palm trees. Breakfast modest - egg omelet / classic Maldivian breakfast. The accommodation offers a large number of excursions and if you want to experience the real Maldives, visit Mathiveri! 🙂

    Vacanza Mathiveri was the best accomodation we had in Maldives. Great room, amazing food and very friendly staff. Amazing manta snorkeling trip - We saw many mantas without other tourists compared to other boats. I highly recommend to stay there! The restaurant with dinners served the best food!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    I think it was the best time we have ever had. The locals are very very nice. You can ask them questions about Maldives and life of the people in island if you like. I would recommend to behave nicely and respect habbits on the Island, so you can get closer a friendlier :-) The food was also best from the best. You can enjoy fish like tuna or jack with various salats, rice, pasta, etc. We have really good time here. I wish we could stay longer especially when is Ramadan!

    The place is very clean, comfortable with good facilities. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They really took care of us and treated us in a personal way. It was a great pleasure to stay there. Mathiveri is a great island to experience the real Maldives - local, quiet, not many tourists on the beach. The beaches and water around the island are clean and you can enjoy the reef - we also saw turtles and sharks. The people are very friendly and open. The staff organizes great excursions tailored to your expectations. We saw and swam with dolphins and manta rays. The staff also took care of great videos of the trip. Finally, the most important - the cuisine is unearthly. The restaurant owner and his wife will cook you local dishes, taking into account your preferences. It was delicious! Highly recomend! :)
