The real Maldives
I stayed here for 4 days just after they reopened from the Pandemic 2020 nightmare we all experienced, so my experience is limited. However, the place is nice and very reasonably priced. It gives you an authentic experience of an out-island in the Maldives. The service by the staff, from Mr. Zala on down, was excellent and everyone was accommodating. The meals were good, but if I had any criticism of the guest house is that I would have liked to have had more variety with the meals. I recommend this place highly.

Well priced on the beach
Great for the money - maldives island on the beach guesthouse. All activities were well priced $30-60 for reef hopping, night snorkel. We didn’t see any whale sharks though. Staff were really friendly local guys - it was nice to support a local business rather than the big international resorts. Food was basic but fine. Good mix of like-minded fellow guests

Best service for the price.It was very special and memorable vacation that my husband and I have experienced and we owe it all to the wonderful staff. From the moment we arrived to the time we left the food and the excursions that we did was just great especially to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary was most unforgettable because they made it so special.

Maldives made afforable with this Guesthouse
Property is excellent. Clean spacious room. Good cable TV and WiFi. There is not much eating outlets on the island but the restuarant in the Guesthouse is wonder - cook is able to make anything and pricing is reasonable. There are some small shops around. Zala dive centre in the Guest house make this a paradise for divers. Zala (owner) is a diver himself and the Guesthouse has 3 boats - soon to have a cruise as well. He is able to bring drivers to good diving / snorkelling sites. We saw sharks, turtles, optupus and tons of fishes. Excellent dives at a fraction of resort / liveaboard pricing. Excellent value for money if you go for option tours such as island hoping, etc.

Wonderful experience in Maldives
This has been one of the best experiences i have had travelling. The Liberty Guesthouse people are all so attentive helpful and wonderful. Making sure all our needs are taken care of and always making sure there is always great fun and laughter on every excursion we embark on. They often go out of their way to surprise us i.e. the birthday celebration for my friend etc. This is the place to be when you visit Mahibadhoo and we will surely want to come back again when we have the chance.

This property is very recommendable. It is very clean. The food is done with love. The employees are very attentive and accommodating. Unfortunately, the infrastructure (e.g. beaches) is not really usable due to religious reasons. Burning waste in the neighborhood sometimes causes odor problems. Combustion should also be optimized here for environmental reasons (this is a task for the local public administration). Overall, the accommodation is definitely worth recommending. The aforementioned restrictions are just points to make your stay even more optimal and enjoyable

Dear Sir and Madam,Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on us. Sorry for the inconvenience that happened, as you have mentioned that is not on our hands as this is a local island. We have informed the authorities as much as we can. Hopefully, it will get better when you arrive next time at our beautiful guesthouse on the beach.Thank you.

Best experience
I was a solo female traveler who stayed at the Liberty guest house a few days ago. Everything was super good there. the staff were super nice and friendly. The room I stayed in was large and comfortable bed with daily maid service. It was worth staying there and I highly recommend. The location was very nice, and is on the beach with the sunrise and good location for snorkeling. I am a vegetarian and was surprised every time with vegetarian dishes just for me. He who was a chef there prepared separate vegetarian food for me. I was super happy about it and very grateful. there are many activities worthwhile. The staff who took care of the activities were very responsible and friendly. I always felt safe with them. They always asked if everything was good with me. The entire staff categories were very friendly and responsible. I was surprised by the entire staff who arranged a birthday event for me and was over happy for it. If I go back the Maldives, I will certainly stay there again.

評価が良かったのでこのホテルを選びました。結果的に評価の良さはスタッフのサービス精神と暖かいお出迎えだったのがよく分かりました。相乗りスピードボートでマレのセイロインバンク前の乗り場から1時間半、往復70ドルで金曜も運行してましたが、深夜に到着の場合マレに一泊しなければなりません。他のゲストはイタリア人やスウェーデンの方でアジア人は私達家族のみ。毎日無人島やサンドバンクに行きシュノーケルして亀に遭遇、マンタシュノーケルでは沢山のマンタと同時にジンベイザメも見ることが出来ました。飽きることがないオプションのエクスカーションがあります。エクスカーションも他のリゾートに比べたら安いと思いました。スタッフ全員が7歳の子供にも大変よくサポートしてくれて、主人がダイビング中も私達は無人島でのんびりしてそこにダイビングが終わった主人が合流したり、ホテルがダイビングショップ併設、ボートも何台か所有してる為色々なアレンジが出来ます。食事は毎食パスタやモルディブ カレーなど日本人にも合う食事でした。 シャワーも暖かいお湯がきちんと出ますが、少し水圧が弱いですが気にならない程度です。ホテル目の前のビーチはビキニ禁止、綺麗で魚も沢山いましたがカラスがいました。夜には満天の星と沢山の蟹がいました。 プライベートビーチも少し歩けばあるらしいです。 レストランらしいレストランも島にはあまりなく食事は施設で食べることを前提にしていた方が良いかもしれません。時期によってはホテル近くの港から10分でマンタのシュノーケルポイントらしいです。ホテルに英語でメッセージを送ってもきちんとすぐに返信してくれた事も評価のポイントでした。 アルコールは飲めませんが近くのリゾートまで行くと飲めるのでリゾートに行くエクスカーションもありました。 また行きたいです。

Nada é de graça!
Olha esse lugar aqui vou contar uma coisa pra vcs, eles tentaram engrupir a gente de todo jeito..., a gente pediu um almoço assim que chegamos e o rapaz que serviu a gente já trouxe uma garrafa de água aberta sem a gente ter pedido nada. No final cobraram dois dólares por essa água (que custa cerca de 30 cents no mercadinho da esquina). Depois, no jantar, compramos uns peixes de uns pescadores no cais da ilha, 7 peixes já limpos por 5 dólares (eles queriam 14 dólares em um peixe deles). Chegamos com os peixes, perguntei quanto era pra gente cozinhar, eles se ofereceram pra fazer por 5 dólares. Até ai tudo bem, até descobrir que na realidade depois o cozinheiro queria cobrar 4 dólares por CADA um dos peixes que a gente mesmo levou. Com muito custo e diálogo conseguimos entrar no acordo e honraram o valor original de 5 dólares pra que eles cozinhassem pra nós, nossos próprios peixes. Depois ficaram todos os 3 da cozinha olhando a gente comer, meio que loucos pra tirar logo os talheres, nada de deixar a gente à vontade. Nas Maldivas nada é de graça, consulte TUDO se tem preço antes de aceitar uma oferta pra não se meter em uma encrenca maior depois. No fim a hospedagem foi OK, nada demais...

good Management, good Hotel, very good Service
Das Hotel ist sehr gut mit einem guten Restaurant und gutem Personal. Die Touren sind gut organisiert. Leider werfen die Bewohner der Insel immer noch ihren Müll direkt am Strand ins Meer oder verbrennen ihn am Strand. Zum Schnorcheln, Schwimmen oder Tauchen muss man auf die Nachbarinsel, sonst macht es keinen Spass.

Il nostro soggiorno è stato fantastico grazie al personale di questa Guest House. Si nono sempre fatti in 4 per soddisfare ogni nostro desiderio, sia in fatto di escursioni,sia in ambito culinario. Stanze pulite. Unico neo è stata una leggerezza nello scambio di mail iniziale dove Enzo non si è reso conto che il nostro volo per ripartire era troppo presto perché sostassimo l’ultima sera alla Liberty Guest House come previsto, quindi abbiamo dovuto anticipare la partenza di un giorno, praticamente senza preavviso.

Nous avons séjourné huit merveilleuses nuits au Liberty Guest House, à l’accueil très chaleureux. Le personnel est très attentionné et adorable. Les chambres sont relativement spacieuse et propre. Nous avons adoré les repas de Yousuf et de son équipe. Le staff qui s’occupe des plongées et des excursions est au top. N. Hésitez surtout pas à faire des sorties avec l’hotel.

Gutes Gästehaus
Es handelt sich um eine Gästehaus auf einer der von Einheimischen bewohnten Insel. D.h. es ist keine der reinen Resortinseln für ausländischen Touristen. Daher gibt es Einschränkungen, wie die Badekleidung und teilweise Müll auf den Stränden. Man kann aber direkt an den Stränden Riffe zum Schnorcheln und Tauchen. Das Gästehaus ist relativ neu und gut in Schuss, die Angestellten geben sich viel Mühe und sind sehr freundlich. Man kann schöne Touren buchen. Es gibt einmal täglich nachmittags eine Schnellfähre von Malé für 35 USD pro Strecke und Person. Das Essen ist OK und preiswert kann aber nicht mit einem Resort verglichen werden.

Excellent rapport qualité prix, séjour parfait!
Plus qu'un hôtel il s'agit d'un B&B qui compte dix chambres, mais proposant les mêmes prestations qu'un hôtel classique. Le staff est extraordinaire et mérite 5 étoiles tant l'équipe est accueillante, chaleureuse et s'assure de votre bien-être pendant votre séjour. Un bémol, la plage est située à côté d'un incinérateur et malheureusement quelques déchets échouent sur la plage... Mais vous vous rattraperez avec les excursions proposées!

Excellentes vacances
Après un séjour d'une semaine à Mahibadhoo, nous tenons à remercier particulièrement toute l'équipe de Liberty Guest House qui nous a accompagnés tout au long de notre séjour. Accueillis dès l'aéroport de Malé par Bintey, puis au port de Mahibadhoo par Enzo et une partie du staff, nous avons tout de suite ressenti l'esprit familial de cette petite guest house très bien située au bord d'une plage de sable blanc bordée d'un lagon très poissonneux. Ici la convivialité est de mise, tous sont sympathiques, simples et souriants. Les chambres sont agréables, grandes, claires et propres. Les plats délicieux de Youssouf resteront dans nos mémoires. Chaque jour nous avons profité avec Zala, Fruti et Cap'tain Amine des sorties en mer proposées : snorkeling sur les reefs, raies mantas, requins baleines, sans parler de la journée sur l'ile déserte, paradisiaque. Merci pour tout, nous nous sommes régalés et nous recommandons particulièrement Liberty Guest House Séjour du février 2017

ローカルなモルディブを味わえるホテル
マーレからのアクセスは、事前にホテルに連絡して1日1便16時に出船するスピードボートを予約すると、どちらかの待ち合わせ場所からボートの桟橋まで案内してくれる。それで1時間半程。(空港からを考えると14時半までに空港到着でないと乗れない。)港にはホテルのスタッフの方が迎えに来てくれる。ホテルの建物は、まだオープンして半年ほどで設備はどこも綺麗でこじんまりとしながらもとても清潔に整っていました。部屋は5部屋程。目の前には砂浜がありその先の海は綺麗なサンゴ礁が広がっているので、気軽にシュノーケリングやペダルボートなどいつでも楽しめる。夜は星も綺麗。(ただし現地の一般の人も住むエリアなのでビキニ姿のままでは泳げなくて短パンTシャツはOKです。)木陰にはベンチやテーブルやハンモックもあるのでそこで休んだりするのも気持ちがよい。ダイビングショップも併設されていて所有の船もあるので、オプションで近くの無人島や砂だけの島など通常行くことの出来ない様な折々によいところも行くことが出来、そこでピクニックしたのも最高でした。島には特に見どころはありませんでしたが、1週間いても毎日退屈することがなかったです。スタッフの方々は何を頼んでもいつも笑顔で快く対応してくれました。決まりきったサービスではなく、本当に楽しんで過ごして帰って欲しいと思っているんだなぁ...と心うたれました。レストランのメニューもどれもお手頃で、イタリアンやローカルフード各種、毎日違うものを頼めるだけのメニューがお手頃で揃っています。味も好みを言えば辛さや調味料等も気軽に合わせてくれました。欲を言えば生ジュースはあったのですが、スイーツも欲しかったかな..という気はしました。 高級なリゾートよりも、モルディブの人や風土に触れたいと思う人には是非お勧めしたい場所でした。どこもシュノーケリングで十分に満足でしたが、せっかくなので今度はダイビングも沢山したいです。
