Adroit Beach Inn

Very nice and friendly people. Everything is clean and quiet, the owner and staff go above and beyond for your comfort. Only positive impressions. Food and Excursions are cheap and amazing. I enjoyed my 7 nights. about the island the best bikini beach in south male atoll.

The owner is a terrible person, they decide all the money, they didn’t give change, leaving “like on the balance sheet.” Thus, you will be forced to eat from them or buy some kind of excursions! They say one thing at first, but in fact it turns out to be another! For example, on the menu there is one dish 13 Rufiy, then Granny the chef, “whom everyone praises”, says “like he will make a discount if you eat with him every day”, and then it turns out that we still have to 🤣. They buy reviews and are not shy about talking about it! No human connection! Breakfast is very poor! One mini egg is strong!!! In general, run away from this guest house!

Expectations: 1. responsive owner, always ready to help 2. excellent service 3. hearty breakfast and delicious food 4. human attitude 5. ability to listen. Reality: 1. the owner is a very bad person (to put it mildly), who could not cancel 2 nights (it became a pity $ 60) 2. the service does not pull on his money 3. the usual standard breakfast, nothing special - egg, no sausage, "juice", like Jupi, half an orange. The food is very spicy 4. there is no human relationship - money rules. There is no sincerity. Every dollar, every penny is counted. 5. Asked for non-spicy food - cooked spicy. There is impossible. Upon check-in, they did not give change of $ 16 - they said that they would give it back upon check-out. They didn't give it away when we checked out! All our requests were not fulfilled! For example, they asked to move breakfast to dinner, the “cook” agreed. In the evening he left, he said that he would arrive late! We asked him to use his frying pan - to fry the eggs we bought ourselves. The answer is “No”, and he left, closing the kitchen, although our food was stored in the refrigerator in the kitchen. Arriving - did not make dinner. They asked us to make breakfast early in the morning - he promised to do it, but in fact he closed himself and did not even come out to us in the morning. This is such a "cook"! Absolutely hypocritical person! This owner is even worse! Hang on for every dollar! Due to forced circumstances, we asked him to cancel 2 nights in advance and return the money! He refused, saying that "these are your problems, you can even move out today"! This guest house has the most expensive excursions, the most expensive transfer ($200 from the airport, others $50) on the island, the most expensive and no food! Bad reviews clean and buy! The owner himself told us this, that “we are not afraid of your bad reviews, we buy them, they will remove the bad ones”! You don't have to live with them! Very bad, vile people - we have never seen such people! Guest house DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Host Ashraf Mohamed buys good reviews on booking and cleans bad ones! In fact, everything here is very bad! The only plus is that it is close to the beach, but this is not a problem either. Guraidhoo island is small, and from any other guesthouse or hotel you can also quickly walk to the beach without any problems. Everything else is one big solid minus: 1. the price of the room is clearly overpriced. Everything here is very modest, a small area, the rooms are dark, not cozy. There is no kettle. The refrigerator in the common "kitchen", which is difficult to call a kitchen - everything is very dirty - unsanitary conditions are tough, and which the "cook" Babul constantly closes - he is probably afraid that tourists will not take his stale food from the refrigerator, or just a bad person. Asked him for cutlery - did not give. But what about - after all, if you buy from him, then you have to pay at inflated prices - the most expensive on the island, otherwise they would have cooked it themselves and he didn’t get anything. In general, if you refuse to eat at his inflated prices, and do not buy excursions from them, then they are very offended and try to spoil your vacation with might and main with various unpleasant little things. When you check in, when you pay for the room, they do not give change, keep in mind - they leave it on the "balance" - like you will have it on this balance. And when the balance ends, you will still pay, but the menu price may change. They didn’t give us change, they put it on the balance sheet. Well, we think, let's try. Ate with him for $ 10, then for $ 2 another dish. We realized that we won’t eat here anymore, because everything is tasteless and expensive! They asked to return the remaining funds on the balance sheet. So Grandma the cook counted 10 + 2 all day, and the whole day he could not subtract them from the balance in order to give change. So in the end: the owner sends a price list in which they wrote to us other prices: instead of $10 - $13 + $2 tax; instead of 2$ - 3$+1$ tax! We ask - why all of a sudden such prices - after all, others are indicated on the menu! We show the photo of the menu! The owner of ASHRAF - "it was before, now the prices are different"! Damn, guys, are you completely insolent or what!? And there are many such little things! Do not believe the "good" purchase reviews on Booking. Choose other guest houses and hotels where prices and service are more interesting! You can eat in local cafes on the island - normal prices, everything is cheaper than in Adroit Beach inn. Excursions can also be easily and cheaper purchased at neighboring hotels and guest houses at better prices. And the most unpleasant thing in Adroit Beach inn is the owner Ashraf and his servant Babul, who fawn in the face, say one thing and do another! Very unpleasant people! We left even earlier than planned. Couldn't be there! And we do not recommend! Choose other places!
