Asaa Feridhoo Maldives

With similar room rate, there are many other better options in the islands.

✓ Nice-decorated guest house with mini garden view. The continental breakfast is simple but tasty. They don’t cook so better you have lunch and dinner in the local restaurant. The owner and staffs were friendly, helpful, and caring customer service. As my friend experienced bad seasickness, the owner offered a coconut drink and a tuna soup which helped her recovery.

✗ Great room size, but sheets were stained and old. The bathroomware was rusty, poor hot-water system and weak water flow (the owner has informed will replace and fix it), and weak wifi (better get your tourist 4G simcard). WATCH OUT, please be extra careful of being charged for something that I have never been informed of. For example: 1. The guest house has arranged the transport and informed me the cost for a speed boat will be $65 /pp/single way and take 1 hr 45mins. However, there was bad weather circumstance + extremely rough sea (early September, their rainy season) which led us to 3 hours trip on a public speed boat (3 stops), plus we had to take another ride from a nearby local island to be able to arrive Feridhoo (another 30 mins). When we arrived at the guest house, they gave us a bill with an additional charge of $50 for 2ppl without informing us in advance. Which cost us ($65 x 2) + $50 = $180 for transportation/ one way. It frustrated me as they did not inform me about the additional charge even though we kept in contact on the way. 2. We stayed 4 nights then my friend wants to move to resorts for 2 nights, plus experience the seaplane. I was able to arrange with the nearby resort with one-way seaplane transfer. The guesthouse owner suggested another resort and he offered to handle the booking and arrange transport for me. In the end, the bill, he charged me an additional $120 for his own services fee. It was ridiculous ripped off where I can able do myself and I still let him do it as I am aware he will get some commission fee from the room rate, but I am happy to pay as soon as he matched the price I found. After negotiating, I only paid him an additional $67 to match the room price that I found.
