3 star hotels in Maldives

It's a transit hotel, so don't expect too much, but it's quite new, and the staff are all very helpful. They offer free airport shuttle service both ways. If you have time, you can explore Malé city before heading to the island, where everything at the resorts can be quite pricey.

Service was really good, including transportation from and to the airport. However, I reserved a Deluxe room which they assigned me on the 1st floor, outside was the road and football court. Also, there was a protest march on the road at least an hour non stopping shouting and playing music, at the late night, of course the hotel said it only maintain 20mins. Furthermore, there is no hot water for...

This hotel in Malé is a good choice for a layover. The airport pick-up and drop-off service is very convenient. However, the room is quite small. The value for money is decent, and it's relatively clean, but the shower and toilet areas aren't separated. Also, toothbrushes aren't provided in the room. It's a bit far from the fish market and city center, about a 1km walk, but it's very close to the airport

This is a great hostel with excellent service, small but charming. The room I stayed in had no windows, but the bathroom had a small vent. Transfers were well-arranged, and the price was fair. There's a small football pitch right outside, and there was a mini-game happening the night I was there, which was quite fun to watch. Breakfast on the tenth floor offers a great view, and there's a small garden...

The water heater in the bathroom wasn't working, and the sheets were a bit dirty, but the airport pickup service was great and the staff were very warm and welcoming.

The staff were incredibly nice and helpful, and check-in after arriving at the airport was seamless. The airport shuttle service was complimentary, and they even assisted us in contacting our next hotel for a smooth transition. A major plus is how clean the hotel is; although the room was a bit small, it had all the necessary amenities. The biggest issue is the noise from the street. As you can see...

Host and staff were friendly and the room was clean. They offer laundry services as well, which are reasonably priced. Unfortunately, they do not let you pay in cash in rufiyaa, it’s USD for everything. I am subtracting one star for the following reasons: -The tours offered through the hotel are outrageously overpriced. They offered a snorkeling safari (snorkeling at three different spots) for 70...

This guesthouse was truly amazing. We stayed here with my sisters and the kids ans the host Shafeeg did such a wonderful job at hosting. He arranged everything we wanted. His hospitality was unmatched. This place was clean and just one minute away from the beach. If you are looking for a place thats private and cozy. This is the perfect place. Love our stay in Ukulhas. It’s definitely one of the best...

I’ve spent just one night (my last one) here as my previous accommodation was brutally overpriced. Guest house seems fine, you have everything what you need (apart of the fact that my room didn’t have any soup and shampoo which was fine by me). Quite, close to harbour and beach. Lucky who is managing this property is lovely, helpful and professional guy who answered all my questions, helped me with...

This is an intimate lodge on the island of Ukulhas, with only four rooms, in contrast to many of the bigger box hotels. The room is somewhat spacious, with high ceiling, lots of natural light, and very clean. The electrical and wifi are good, and the AC not bad. A nice breakfast is included with the stay. Mattresses are very comfortable - a rare instance where you actually have a mattress top. Staff...

The hotel is located in the middle of the residential island, about 7-8 minutes' walk from the best northern beach where you can swim. The hotel service is very good, providing simple breakfast, and the kitchen is also available for guests to use. The room was clean, had air conditioning and a fan.

The place is quite a decent guesthouse. It is a bit depressing. We stayed here for two nights; it was okay, but not the best. The toilet was old and not clean. The room is dark. Although nothing is far on this island, this place is not at the beach. The crew is friendly!

Nice and very clean hotel that’s a few steps from the beach. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Hotel is clean and good locations

Nice hotel overall. The room was just the right size for two people, and the bathroom was clean. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. They even assisted with our luggage. We had a good dinner at the hotel. Breakfast was simple but enough to start the day. Airport transfer is free, which was very convenient. The hotel can also call a taxi if you want to visit Malé. Best part is the location...

we have dinner at the hotel and the spaghetti is delicious. Breakfast in next morning is good, toast and coffee is my favor.

The service from the front desk staff Abhilish is great! He recommended us a few activities which we enjoyed very much - diving and going to the SAii Lagoon 1-day pass. The breakfast buffet spread is quite limited in variety but you cannot expect much with a price like this. However, the dinner at the Red Snapper & Coffee Bean Reserve at the Rooftop was good - I recommend the grilled Red Snapper. The...

Everything was well arranged and valued for money. We arrived at midnight and everything was well organised from our arrival, airport pickup, breakfast till departure. All the staff was excellent like Abhishek from Reception and Arfas from Breakfast. Amazing people and service

Perhaps it's only worth booking a sea-view room at this hotel. The rooms in the middle don't have balconies, while those on the ends do, but they face other buildings just a meter away and there's ongoing construction. There are cafes on the ground floors, and even though I was on the 4th floor, the clatter of dishes, conversations, and shouting sounded as if it was all happening right in my room....

First impression was quite good, the check in was quite fast but it's not very easy to find the reception as it's behind a cafe. It was weird that the 6$ tax can be only collected in use, they don't accept their own local currency! I was given the room 502, which is on the ground floor on the back side. The employee who showed me to the room first tried to open another room by mistake which was funny...

Taking a taxi from the airport costs about 10 USD. The room is quite small, and the environment is pretty basic, comparable to a lower-end budget hotel in China. The main upside is the affordable price. There's a nice beach right opposite the hotel, so if you have more time, you could consider a sea-view room. Service was good; even though there's an elevator, they still helped us take our luggage...

Suitable for a one-night transit stay. Overall the hotel is clean and good. The staff are friendly and it’s a convenient place for a short stop.

We had a great experience at Huvan Beach. Beach breeze and the fresh air made it even better. Loved the location and the food.

Nice spot along the beach- the water is beautiful but there is trash and plenty little biting flies ,so be prepared and remember that it’s a basic spot for transit and you won’t be disappointed. Typical breakfast with scrambled eggs, beans, fruit, and some bread choices. If your booking doesn’t include breakfast, there are other options along the sea that may be tastier. Bed and room were small, with...

The hotel's location and views are fantastic. The room was clean and had plenty of hot water, but unfortunately, there was no balcony.

Very beautiful, good reception, good location, convenient travel. Delicious food.. The staff took care of us and gave us a good welcome.. Clean room, close to local food sources. Going to the Maldives again, will book this hotel again. Thank you.

Hotels in Male are similar, this one is newly renovated, but the surrounding environment is not very good

Close to the sea, the external environment is not bad, the room is small, the price is indeed more expensive than in China, the food is not fancy, very ordinary Western fast food. The price-performance ratio is not good, but it is neither good nor bad. But they said they could pick me up at the airport, but later they said the car broke down, which made me a little unhappy.

The price is too expensive. Average hotel

Nice new hotel. Good location in front of the beach, clean rooms with a nice view, new amenities look pretty fashionable. It's my 2nd stay here. Highly recommended

A fabulous small hotel on a lovely island: a great introduction to Maldevian life for us. Access by speedboat from Male Airport is straightforward, although strong winds made the crossing rough in the 17 seater Coral Speed Boat: better to travel in the 60 seater, although I think that they decide which boats are used each day. Sheena met us off the boat at Ukulhas and it was a short buggy ride to...

Clean and cozy rooms. Nice and friendly stuff... Perfect start for my vacation.

Just a fabulous holiday on Ukulas! The girls met us at the pier, drove us, helped with our luggage, and treated us to coconuts. The room was also pleasant: spacious, clean, with all amenities. There is a foot wash in front of the room to avoid dragging sand inside. Breakfast to choose from menu. Lunch and dinner at a restaurant nearby in buffet mode. The beach is within walking distance. Clear, rich...

Our family (3kids and 2 adults) spent 9 nights in Sealavie and it was very difficult to leave. Hotel staff was amazing, they helped us with everything possible. We got fishing trips from the beach), private dinner under the stars in the hotel garden, assistance in visiting a doctor (and gave us medicine before that), delicious breakfasts which we could choose from a menu, etc. Several times per day...

We travel a lot, visited 4 islands in the Maldives. This hotel always has hot water, freshly prepared varied breakfasts, delicious coffee, good Wi-Fi and everything for your comfort. An important value of this magical place is the attitude towards guests. SeaLaVie impressed us with his main idea - Fazeel's team strives to make every person happier! You feel it every day and we fell in love with this...

Our stay in Sea la Vie exceeded our expectations! The place is very well decorated from the inside out, the rooms are spacious and sparkling clean and the staff is very friendly, efficient and always willing to help you with anything you need with a big smile☺️. Breakfast is delicious (try the maldivian options!), not to mention the coffee, the best in town! The location is perfect, just minutes walking...

The main reason why I chose this hotel was an on offer for Diamond user, on the app it was stated that I can check in from 10 am which was perfect. However the early check in was not guaranteed, I don't know whose responsibility is that, Trip.com or hotel. I tried to contact the hotel but it was almost impossible. When I arrived about 10.30 am the receptionist stated that no rooms are available but...

This hotel is fine for a one-night stay, conveniently located just a 10-minute taxi ride from the airport. Our room was quiet. The breakfast was standard and simple: eggs, sausages, beans, toast, butter, and for fruit, watermelon and oranges. However, the room itself felt a bit tired, and the ceiling fan was dirty. But the absolute worst part was the mattress! It was incredibly hard, like a wooden...

Stayed one night at Terminal 27. The good: Staff were genuinely friendly and attentive.  The service was definitely the highlight.  The room was clean, and breakfast was decent for a hotel of this size.  The morning staff in particular were amazing and really stood out. The not-so-good: Noise is a real issue.  Even after switching from a balcony room to one behind the main road, it was still quite...

This hotel could be an option for a layover, as it's relatively close to the airport. You can get there by bus or taxi.

I stayed one night because of a flight arriving in the evening and not being able to take a direct speedboat. The stay and price were decent for this purpose. Pros: Good location close to the airport, if proximity to the airport is important. Clean place. Simple breakfast included. Room is nice. The check-in is until 23.00 but because of flight delay I arrived 15 minutes later and they were very...

The best hotel so far! It’s clean and comfortable. The bell boy and the lady at the counter are both helpful.

We recommend this restaurant. They have a really good kitchen. Espiacelly the indian cuisine was amazing!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful seaside hotel. The location right on the coast is stunning, and the atmosphere makes you feel completely relaxed. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. You truly feel at home here. I was very satisfied with everything and will definitely come back again.

Beautiful island, nice lokal people, good trips. I will be back next year in the same guest house.

Excellent stay with my family! Outstanding service. I would like to recommend families and couples to stay at Shallow Lagoon.

I stayed at Shallow Lagoon Rasdhoo for one night and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything required for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect — close to the beach, shops, and restaurants, yet still quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was delicious, and the atmosphere throughout...

We stayed for a week and i would have stayed longer! We arranged the pack with included activities. And it’s a totally must! They picked us up at the harbour and took our luggage to the hotel even if the hotel is pretty close. They even helped us with everything the day we left. Ideal location on the island, and ideal if you wanna stay at a local island. The rooms are spacious and clean and the bed...

Good stay right by the beach. It was clean too, though the room wasn't very big, it was perfectly fine for 3-4 days.

Old, but very nice location on the beach. Large clean room, but could do with better maintenance. Bathroom vent need a mesh to keep insects out. Smelled finky sometimes. Staff great, and food very good.

I stayed with my girlfriend at Crown Beach Hotel for two nights in Dhiffushi Island, and it was a really good place to stay. The staff were very friendly and professional throughout our stay. Zihaan was the team member who mainly engaged with us, and he was genuinely helpful and pleasant. He arranged transport for us to and from the jetty, helped with our luggage, and gave us useful information about...

Firstly, it's a guest house rather than an actual hotel. Once you take that into consideration, the rooms are nice the view on the sunset beach is epic. The service is friendly and helpful. If you take the beachfront room, take care to keep the terrace door closed otherwise the wildlife will be joining you indoors. The breakfast was very good, unfortunately it was only 1 option, English breakfast...

The villa room was nice and very comfortable, with a great sea view. The staff were friendly, nice, and quick to respond to my requests. The breakfast is okay and reasonable price and has a great sea view, and the on-site restaurant was perfect for romantic dinner. The hotel's location is superb and walking distance as Dhiffushi is a very tiny island. My only minor complaint was the broke kettle and...

We stayed 9 days at the Crown Beach Hotel, and we had an amazing time. Beautiful beach with lots of shades below trees and palms, clear waters, and the hotel manager and his team treated us so friendly and helped us with every wish we had. We felt at home! We loved the snorkeling tours and the karaoke nights with them. We enjoyed also very much the food and the fresh juices. The rooms were very clean...

The hotel is amazing, super well located, very close to Bikini Beach, and the staff are incredibly kind — always friendly and smiling. They have beach towels ready for you whenever you need them, and an upstairs terrace area where you can hang your clothes or just hang out in the evening. There are also several tables near the entrance where you can relax or chat with other travelers. Filtered water...

Amazing stay & genuine Maldivian hospitality We stayed at Acqua Blu Rasdhoo from **3–7 January 2025 with our family of four, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived on the island, Roohol Ameen, the manager, personally picked us up and welcomed us with open arms and a genuine smile. His hospitality, care, and attention never faded throughout our stay. The cook, Nazmul was...

Amazing hotel with great hosts! Ameen was very friendly and helpful with arranging our stay, the breakfast was so so good and the room was clean and well equipped. He and Alu took us to great diving spots with lots of mantas, turtles and sharks. The service was truly exceptional. The only thing that could be improved in the future was the wifi connection in the room, but this is a minor recommendation...

I was very satisfied with my short stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Ameen who manage this place. The place is very convenient, just a few minutes walk from the beach. I joined their snorkeling activities and the guide was perfect! Thanks to him, I was able to swim with turtles, eagle rays and a lot of fish! I highly recommend Acqua Blue.

My experience here has been really great. The staff in the guest rooms are polite and enthusiastic. There are many beautiful sceneries on and around the island. You can also play sports like football or water volleyball with the locals here. I had a very good experience.The details of the guest room I stayed in and the hotel breakfast are attached in the picture.

A lovely guest house with great comfortable rooms and fantastic staff who go above and beyond to make your stay fabulous.

Extremely polite and friendly. I showed up late, confused, and tired. The Octave crew went out of their way to make sure all my needs were met. Got me breakfast and back to the airport early the next morning to catch a ferry. Malé is tightly packed and very confusing, I wouldn't have made it without their help. Clean, professional, and affordable. Money well spent.

It was an OK stay. I only stayed for one night, nothing spectacular. I just need a bed that night because the immigration officer said the property I booked for that night is not accredited. The bathroom is located outside of my room but I was the only one using it. Quite a 10 to 15-minute walk to the jetty to get to Maafushi.

Location was very bad . Full of motorcycle parked near gate and couldn't find the entrance Small lane lead to the entrance and vehicles can't go near . Need to walk to find the hotel

There are short amenities in the hotel. But price affordable

Enough for one or two nights in Malé. We got a free room upgrade and the conditions were decent.

Hotel Octave Maldives is a hidden gem! 🌴 Nestled in a prime location, it’s just a stone's throw from the beach and local attractions. The cleanliness is top-notch, making it feel like a home away from home. 🧼 The service? Absolutely fantastic! The staff are friendly and always ready to help. Plus, the facilities are great for solo travelers like me, with cozy rooms and a chill vibe. Whether you want...

It’s at a good location but a bit pricey for the quality

I was quite satisfied with the room, and it was very clean. The only downside was that it was a little small, but overall it was very clean. I would recommend it to my friends! 👍

The service is very good, the room is a bit small, the breakfast is also good, the location is a bit hard to find, the driver took a nap on the street for a long time, and provided pick-up service, but it costs money, which is more expensive than the taxi I took from the airport

I was looking for a hotel to stay in Male, and there were 5-star reviews everywhere, including this one. It was absolutely wonderful! They met me, carried my suitcase, explained everything, offered me juice, and the room was excellent, everything was brand new! They even refunded me for not having breakfast. 5 stars!

The room was very clean and well equipped

I really liked it! Clean, comfortable, new hotel with excellent and very friendly staff.

We were two couples, the location was perfect, the rooms with simple, comfortable, and clean bathrooms had air conditioning and a fan, and the service was friendly and welcoming. We recommend booking your round-trip transfer to Malé with them. The underwater scenery was breathtaking, the best part. For scuba diving and snorkeling, we recommend Acqua Adventure; the staff are locals, super professional...

At first I want to write that this was a cheapest hotel on the whole Maldives. In this context the quality equals the price. Nothing less, nothing more. But the photos etc. on the web look like much better than reality. Guest house is a little rusty. Hot water doesnt work, no lamp in the room, just big lights on the ceiling. Impossible to let on any light and children sleep.  Garden is nice but not...

everything was perfect!!! such a beautiful experience! the owner organized some excursions for us and it was magical!!!

Everything is good, the location and breakfast are good and the view of the sea, it’s a pity there is no transfer.

Very good, good service, thank you very much

The feeling of blue sky and sea is still very good. It is very convenient to spend the night before boarding the plane. There is a drop-off service on the airport island. You can also visit Male in the evening. I will come again next time.

Better than I expected. Disappointing about the no lift but the staff were super helpful and helped carry the bags up with no issues.

Good value for money, good location

Very cost-effective, the waiter is super nice and very enthusiastic

A wonderful hotel for visiting the city. We stayed two nights before our flight. Great view, comfortable beds, and hearty breakfasts. I recommend it.

It’s a small hotel but very clean and great for short stay.  Service is excellent  The beach is just in front of the hotel.  Nearby in the water, there is a like a barricaded pool in the sea.

The room was clean and hygienic, not too far from the airport, and there were many places to eat downstairs. The service was very friendly.

The environment is average. It's just a place to rest for a day.

nice hotel and many restaurants near there

The hotel has a good location, there is a restaurant and shops and a small market with vegetables and fruits nearby. Very friendly staff. Checked in earlier than expected. We were happy with everything. We recommend it for short stays, just what you need.

The boss was warm and thoughtful! After checking in, he helped us deliver our luggage to the room and called us in the morning to remind us of the breakfast time. However, the breakfast was not very rich, and it would be better if there were more choices!

For airport transportation. I went without much expectation, but for this price, it's that good... It's neither good nor bad, just for sleeping.

The room is very clean and convenient for travel

The best classic mojitos in the town. The staff were very friendly and professional. Services gives relaxed atmosphere. The food and drinks were awesome. I will defenetly come again this place. Place is very well cleaned and organized. Great place to visit

It was already after 8:00 pm when we arrived in Male, so there was no seaplane, so we could only stay in Male for one night. This small hotel is still OK, the service is relatively simple, and it can meet the basic needs of tenants. It is nearby There are also toaster shops, markets and the like. Because the room types were slightly different, the boss waived the round-trip transfer fee for us.

Since we arrived at night and couldn't take the speedboat, we stayed here for one night. It's about 15 minutes by car from the airport. I had requested an airport shuttle over the phone in advance, and it was right on time and waiting for me. The staff were very kind and helpful. The beach is right in front of the hotel and is very beautiful. The room doesn't have many amenities so you have to bring...

・The map was incorrect ・Hospitality was good, they guided me to the right place, friendly ・The room was not dirty, but the drainage was poor ・The door was automatically locked at night and early in the morning, so a password was required

Staff was very kind and helpful. The bathroom was a little stinky though.

Me and friends booked at the last minute in this hotel through Agoda. So after 5 minutes, I made my booking, took a cab, and in a few minutes, I reached the hotel. They asked for my booking confirmation; unfortunately, I did not save it. I could not download my booking voucher as the internet was so slow. It took me 30 minutes to locate my booking. However, they said that they are fully booked and...

The staff of this hotel were very nice. However, it’s not worth the money paid. The breakfast was an egg, a few pieces of oranges and apples, two pieces of white break and a mini hot dog. I had to go to the neighborhood supermarket afterwards to get additional nourishment. The bed was as hard as a rock. Very noisy room with sounds from the traffic below. But the staff, again, made the day. Extremely...

very good，very clean，very roomy good choice staffs waiting for us in airport and take us to hotel help us take luggage thanks

I booked Star Shell for very first time as a resident who working and living in Maldives via trip.com. Price is reasonable. The check in was quick and simple. Staff were very helpful. The room is lovely. However, if you are sensitive to the noise then I am not recommended, because you can hear the car noise from road. My room got lonely view far from sea and shade from tree. Very basic amenities...

We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Star Shell. Despite arriving close to midnight, the hotel thoughtfully arranged a late airport transfer for us at a very reasonable rate, which was greatly appreciated after a long journey. The hotel’s close proximity to the airport makes it extremely convenient, and the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. A special shout-out to Mr. Abdul...

Although we respected and complied with the hotel’s management policies, our stay was deeply disappointing due to restrictive rules that we were not made aware of prior to arrival. My partner, who is Maldivian, and I faced significant discomfort throughout our visit because of regulations that directly impacted us as a couple. This review is intended as sincere caution for others. If you are planning...

Near to the beach. Room is acceptable, but toilet a bit small. Bad sound insolution, you can hear the voice from street clearly. Simple breakfast provided. Nice view from the restaurant on top floor.

close to the airport, perfect for a one night stay if you arrive at male late at night.

Best hotel, best location . The staff is very friendly. The restaurant is always ready to respond to our every whim. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The bathroom is wide and comfortable.

Great stay at Dhiguveli Maldives in December. The rooms were very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The complimentary breakfast had a nice variety each morning. All the excursions from the hotel are through GoDivers. It seems that all guests could only book excursions through them, but that wasn't a problem and there was a representative from GoDivers at the hotel lobby each evening to...

Very good overall! Clean, friendly, good food, good excurcions, and great location. Saw whalesharks and mantarays on the snorkeling trips

The hotel staff was very nice and the hotel was good. Very good service and exciting excursions. Would recommend to stay here.

Loved my holiday here! The bed was very comfortable and a lovely hot shower. After every trip the staff would come out and greet us, asking how it went. I felt very comfortable there. The staff in the restaurant as well were amazing! Food was very good, lots of veggie options and the coffee was great

Everything was great — the hotel is truly beautiful and clean, with the best location on the entire island. At the reception, we asked for help with the TV in our room because it didn’t have Wi-Fi, but the guy working at the front desk didn’t help us… The hotel staff are very kind and polite, with special praise for the best employee of the hotel, Mosharof. It was truly a pleasure to meet and talk...
