Galaxy Sunrise Sea View

Close the Bikini beach, Helpful staff, transport from marina

Nothing

They lied to us and made us lose a whole day of travelling. DO NOT RECOMMEND

- The 180 degree beach view was excellent one of a kind it was wonderful - The room that we selected was for 3 and was very specious - The staff helped you out to the best of their ability and is very kind (have not faced any non-cooperation during my visit like to other reviews)

- The is not intercom or 24x7 room service - To get help you have to call a WhatApp numbers, help takes time - Breakfast is enough to kill the hunger but nothing exciting

干净、老板人不错，接送都很专业。有小车，房间里就像回国一样很方便，中国插座，吹风机还是戴森的！

房间很温馨，听不到清真寺的声音！老板们人也超级好很实在～夸夸饭！在这五天吃了五天晚饭的含金量！！小黑们也很热情

Muy bien ubicado super cerca de la bikini beach, muy limpio, no entiendo porque hay comentarios malos, la habitación super grande y con una vista al mar increíble

Podrian mejorar el desayuno que es verdad es muy simple pero esta rico

.

Sea view jedynie z toalety. Śniadanie bardzo słabe. Zapadnięty materac.

L’endroit est bien place

L’hotel ne correspond pas du tout au photo. En plus le petit déjeuner qui n’est pas du tout conforme au photo aussi. Un oeuf et des nouilles. Pas de the pas de cafe ni de lait.

Das Zimmer war super und das Frühstück wurde direkt am Strand (nicht Bikini beach) serviert. Es war sehr sauber und echt groß. Sowohl das Zimmer als auch das Badezimmer. Der Bikini beach ist super nah. Einfach toll.

Die Kommunikation per WhatsApp war sehr schwierig. Kaum eine Antwort und wenn eine kam hat es sehr lange gedauert. Das Frühstück hatte sehr wenig Auswahl und war nicht sehr gut.

We really enjoyed the place. Staffs was really helpful. We appreciate and we Will definitely come back near future.

The toilet water but that can be understandable.

Nästan på bikini stranden vilket var perfekt.

Ingen bra frukost.

It had aircon and towels were provided, shampoo and body wash. Got picked up at the ferry port by the electric tuktuk.

It was very dirty outside and in the corridors, with lots of rubbish, apparently was previously managed by Maldivians but right now is managed by Chinese as you can see in the entrance photo. Just 1 bottle of water provided. Leftovers from breakfast and cheap coffee. Doesn’t quite look like the photos, the bikini beach is next to the hotel not in front. A bit pricey for what you get. Umbrellas in front of the beach are gone, doesn’t match the photos provided on the description

Everything! Do not….I repeat….DO NOT book accomodation at this place.

The only good thing about this property was the location as it was very close to everything, but you can walk around the island in about 15 minutes so everything is close to everything

This hotel is nothing like the pictures, we had 4 nights booked for here and managed 2 before we had to leave, the staff minus the one guy that seems to be doing everything are rude, no one acknowledged us, the property itself is dirty and so old looking, the stairs to the room are super super steep, the sink leaks, the air con is shoddy, the fridge doesn’t work, the balcony ‘sea view’ is questionable, the pictures of what is supposed to be a gorgeous outdoor area is nothing like that, everything is broken, there are signs everywhere saying you get fined for ‘leaving food on your plate’ ‘bringing sand in’ I would not recommend staying here at all. The quicker we could leave and head to maafushi the better. Do not recommend

My room was on the upper floor, very nice with an incredible view and a terrace. I disagree with the bad review, as far as the upper floors rooms are concerned. Also the breakfast was OK: the clients are mainly Cinese so you get noodles and rice, plus toast and a fruit for each person. It is not true that they do not refill: they do actually. So my experience was good 😊

Great location, very friendly and supporting staff :), comfortable rooms (1st and 2nd floor apartments).

This place is really the worst I have ever been. It is maintained by Chinese and it is the dirtiest place I’ve ever been. They are not doing any cleaning, there is garbage everywhere and they just don’t care…They gave us a room where where was water everywhere with first rain and the only thing which they did was that put some towels on the floor. Also the “breakfast” was leftover food from previous dinner, old sousages and there was not even a water, cups, glasses or cutlery. The only good think is the location and the guy who should do the cleaning is trying somehow…

Very friendly and inviting, are very informative with events/ activities on the island.

we liked the nature and the natural beauty of the area. the beaches were beautiful. Only on this island were we able to see sharks and mataray. the diving was gorgous.

Clean, safe, ocean view

This was one of the worst accommodations I've ever been and nearly ruined our stay in Fulidhoo. The facilities are very run down, including water leaking from under the toilet and toxic black mold all over the shower. Barely any sound proofing; we could hear our neighbours and the hotel's washing machine running all night next to our room. The sea view was actually a view over a pile of garbage and people passing by on the street. You could see a patch of sea in the far distance, but you'd compromise your privacy for it. The other window led to the wall of a building 1 meter away, with the mentioned washing machine doing its rumble all day. The breakfast was poor and the eating area didn't feel hygienic at all, like the rest of the place. The vibe was unlike any Maldivian hotel we stayed. The place recently changed hands to a Chinese owner who runs it like a little dictatorship, with notes hanged on every wall stating silly rules and the corresponding fines for breaking them (dare you step inside with sandy feet or bring food into the room? pay a 50$ fine). This is unseen anywhere else we have been in the Maldives. They barely speak English and will make no effort to help. We mentioned how the room didn't match their ad on booking and he coldly told us to complain to Booking. All the friendly Maldivians we met in the island had reservations about this place. Avoid this place! Maldivians have high hospitality standards and any other hotel in the island will be a far more pleasant stay.

The balcony was great

Highly recommend. Friendly staff.

- does have a family room, which is ok standard, apart from the molded sink and a damaged cupboard (see photos) - excellent wifi - Non management staff friendly, even though a bit shy and/or unable to speak english

- community area and outside restaurant area completely run down (see photos for an impression) - management ignores you unless you happen to be chinese. So dont expect any kind of service, not even an hello. - tea is not provided, even though otherwise stated in the room description - management has a weird obsession with formulating completely arbitrary fines for all kind of things (see photos). Dont worry however. Noone will talk to you anyway, no matter what you do. - does not accept credit card payment, which is a huge downside on an island with no ATM

Beach very very nice

Toilet is broken

The "Manager" was straight from the Horror Movie. No English at all. Not one word! He gave away the large and sunny room on the ground floor, that I have booked (Superior), right in front of me, to a young couple. The small dark room upstairs, with very steep flights of stairs (no railing), no elevator, was given to me, because he had no other rooms available. I showed him the picture from your website of the room that I booked and explained that I paid extra, for a nicer room. But he said: "no English," which was true. And just walked out on me. His assistant showed my with his hands that I won't get my money back. I've videotaped the whole interaction and made photos of the room and (dangerous) staircase. Available upon request. Although it'll take a while to download them all here, with an unreliable WiFi. Breakfast was terrible. Uneatable. The manager's attitude was horrific -- no exaggeration. The keys from the room I was stuck with, didn't work and I had to chase him every time I needed to leave the room and to come back to the room, which visibly bothered him immensely. I had to chase him and beg for a beach towel every day; then stand in the heat, and wait till he finishes his emails on his laptop (I videotaped that as well). That was humiliating. Every day. He also asked for extra money, cash, from me. I asked for a receipt. But he refused. I've asked for his name. And requested to be connected to the owner of the guesthouse. But got none. After that stay, I made reservations with other companies, instead of Booking.com, as I was thoroughly disappointed and startled by such a harsh reception. Because of this "Manager" alone, this place is UNSUITABLE for American tourists. We are unaccustomed to this quality of reception. I've complained to the Customer Service here, but got no response thus far.

For this "manager" to be fired. But I understand that may be unlikely, as he speaks Chinese (and Chinese only), and everyone in the hotel, except for me, was from China. The owner may be from China too. So, the Hotel should have had a disclaimer: We speak Chinese, but no English. At the very least, I request to be reimbursed for this horror movie of a stay. Never happened to me before. Never.

Perfect location on the beach. Outside is much better than inside. Comfortable bed and nice to have a small fridge in the room and enjoy fresh water all the time. Wi-fi was excellent.

The structure inside is bit old. The worse part of all my room was the bathroom: despite it was really big, the bath was out of service and the shower was terrible: doors broken,everywhere mold and limescale. The pressure of water was too low. During my stay we were not many guest, so they had arrange a small breakfast: eat part was acceptable, but there was no juice and no bag tea, just Nescafe. Furthermore the guy of breakfast was the whole time playing with his telephone in the kitchen making annoying noises.Basic breakfast. In general not worth for the money they ask.

The location is very good. The manager is very nice and friendly. Rooms are spacious-first floor bathroom need some renovation, the upstair rooms are good. The food of their restaurant is good & the price is reasonable. Generally, we had a good time there.

We stayed at the superior triple room with sea view, which was a nice room. The view from the room was amazing and we were lucky this was one of the newer rooms. Our friends stayed downstairs and their room was old and moldy. The location of the hotel is very nice, right next to the bikini beach.

The breakfast was very basic. The first days there was watermelon as fruit, the last few days there was no fruit at all. We always had to ask for extra toast and there were never enough glasses. The breakfast is till 9:00am, but if you arrive later than 8am, a lot of food is already finished. The food at their restaurant was ok, but way more expensive than other restaurants at the island.

The location is really good

The hotel recently changed management so the older reviews are not up to date. They told us there was a double booking when we arrived so we had to switch rooms during our stay which is not how it should be. The rooms downstairs are not in good condition (old, moldy, an old scarf as curtain, the toilet doesn't flush, bad smell in the bathroom, leaks in the room, ...) so I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Nothing. I only liked the checking out part.

I am a world traveller, visited almost 50 countries. Stayed in budget free hotels, but I have not seen a bad hotel like this in my entire life. - I would highly recommend you to look for another hotel. - We wanted to cancel our reservation when we arrived to the property and they did not refund. - The room pictures are not the actual room photos. - The hotel is NOT clean. Actually it is the dirtiest hotel I have ever seen. - Molds and insects in the room, I was even bitten by an insect and had my face swollen. I had to go to the hospital in Fulidhoo. - The owners are not helping, they do not speak English. - What i understood is property owner changed and the good reviews belong to the old owner. - If you think your health, just stay away. I opened a case about my health issue as well. - Also the breakfast only includes Chinese rice and egg. If you take any food to room, there is a 200 usd penalty. - There are better hotels in Fulidhoo. All will be better than this.

Small things like tooth brush not given,had to ask them to bring bread for breakfast,Had ask them to fill shampoo and body wash.Breakfast was basic nothing much to say.Can't dry cloths.

Property looks old but the staff make is clean and worth as much as they can , staff people are very lovely , kind and hospitable where we didn’t experience in hulhumale and male , but I love my stay in galaxy sunrise because of the service and food was amazing , they serve delicious lovely food and drinks thank you and we wish you all the best

Location

Rooms and towels not clean, breakfast very basic, we suppose to have a luxury double room and the room look very different from the pictures, window don’t open and shower and tap broken and needs changing, very used.

The employees were most helpful and very kind. The hotel has its own beach and evening dining facilities. Collection and departure from the pier was well organized by the young staff and their willingness to help was exceptionally good.

The breakfast was absolutely LOUSY. This fact spoilt our stay. I think if it hadn’t been for this really bad start to the day we would have enjoyed our visit much more. No tea, no normal coffee or coffee powder. No milk, no yogurt, no cereals. Instead there were slices of white toasting bread, no butter. A jar of jam and a jar of Nutella. A warm container filled with rice and fried eggs. The sachets of coffee contained a powdered mixture full of sugar. Watered down it was a sweet vile drink. When the young man noticed I was not eating he brought out a plate of watermelon. We went to the local supermarket to buy a box of teabags and some yogurt. The bedroom was clean and the beds comfortable. The balcony had not been cleaned and the cushion in the swinging chair was filthy. My husband washed it. The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned or at least didn’t look as if it had. We are globetrotters and definitely not snobby but more cleanliness and a reasonable breakfast had been expected. The dining room seats upstairs needed some hot soapy water scrubbing over them. Not good advertising whereas the evening dining area on the beach was inviting and the food was fine and not over priced. I also think people should be informed that this is a muslin community. Bikinis are not allowed on public beaches and alcohol is not available. At least not at the places we visited.

The location was good

The room was old and small and did not match the pictures on booking.com there are other places on the Island which will offer a better price/value.

does not apply. At least it looks like I'll get my money back for the early check out.

We've traveled to various local islands on the Maldives before and hosts of these kind of properties usually reach out before arrival to organize ferries etc. The responses to my requests did not even contain a name of an employee. A first bad sign that I spotted, but Booking.com information looked fine so we booked and made our own way to the island. Upon arrival we noticed the various glamping tents, beanbags etc outside. Looked promising. We paid for a larger room (08) that was above the kitchen - only reachable via a steep staircase you'd usually find on a boat. The room was dated along with cheap furniture. The mattresses rested on wooden boxes. Everywhere you look you'll see lots of dirt, dust and hair. We decided to stay for one night, but immediately looked for other options on the busy island. Throughout the day and night we could hear people speaking, doors banging and walls creaking. I am not sure what woke me up first: the sunlight coming through the bathroom door (no way to block it) or the smell of 'breakfast' (we were pretty much on top of the kitchen). Breakfast you say? A toaster, a single water kettle to boil your own water and some eggs and sausages that were cooked hours before. The property is littered with signs like "take food to room. $200 fine." "do not enter kitchen. $100 fine." "do not cook in room. $200 fine." I've brought up the issues with the team (most of them were outside playing on their phones), but three times nobody was interested in even understanding why we wanted to leave and just referred to Booking.com to change the check-out date. We booked the Luau hotel on the other (much nicer) side of the island and were very happy with the property, services, food quality and esp the team (thanks Linda, Ablo and team!).

Good staff always helpful,clean rooms,will come again nice views in front of hotel

Nothing

It's directly located at the Bikini beach and has a wonderful beach set up with sun beds. Most probably the best beach set up of the whole island. The male employee was very friendly and always tried to help where ever he could. The tour we booked via the hotel was very nice.

Unfortunately they are absolutely unorganized + they don't really speak english so the communication is very difficult. Towels were only made available on request. Our bathroom was dirty and so were the provided beach towels... We had breakfast included which was very basic but ok. Dinner was not provided the first days as the chef wasn't working. At the end he was back but the food was not nice at all, so I would highly recommend to NOT have dinner there. There are so many other nice restaurants with much better prices, quality and service.

It was cozy

Could have provided a blanket/ duvet but there was none, just a bedsheet and the fan doesnt work so it was very cold The faucet plug was broken in the toilet and there were no toiletries plus the ride to the stay was so uncomfortable

Nice quiet.

The staff was the best so far we experienced in our Maldives trip. He was very kind, helpful and cooked very tasty food. It felt like home. Moreover, watching the sunrise directly from the room window was amazing. We had the room on the left side facing the sunrise. Bikini beach was only a few steps away which makes it even more attractive. It has even beachfront.

None

upstairs rooms are comfortable and okay

downstairs room where I stayed had worms and a dead cockroach in the bathroom. Owner can be quite challenging to talk to.

We loved the room, service and hotel's location....It was just in front of beach only. they will arrange airport transfers and all the other water activities at very reasonable price and the garden view was just amazing. I would like to thank all the staff santal and owner Bushri and Itta was super amazing, welcoming and helpful. it was more than expected at the price we paid for our stay and breakfast was also included in the same.

Location is convenient. Room is a bit outdated but in working condition. Overall great stays

Facilities basically non existence. But it was a pleasant stay. The awesome beach is just at the front door.

Everything perfect thank you for everything best place best people

The staff was great, and the rooms very comfortable.

The owner forgot to reserve our boat to the island, and just told me 1 day before my flight. That caused me a LOT of stress and I had to solve the whole situation by myself, making me lose a lot of time and almost lose one night. Besides that, when I got to the island, no one pick me up in the pier and when I finally find someone from the hotel, my room wasn't ready, so I had to wait.

We have spend 4 nights on Fulidhoo and 2 nights in this hotel which was uncomperable better than the previous one (with the same price). Great rooms, clean, quite, good breakfast, nice staff, amazing garden and ocean just in front of hotel. This part of island is much better than the one near bikini beach (which is just 3 minutes away by foot). I totally recommend stay in this place!

The rooms are good, Owner is very friendly and helpful. The private access to beach and amenities are good. Food quantity can be increased and some of the items could have been fixed before guest arrival

The hotel owner, Bushree and his wife and sister was amazing. They helped us to organise everything, booked us a trip, and explained everything. The food was amazing, special thanks to the satay chicken and the amazing dessert in the Christmas night. They organised a very special dinner for Christmas, but the other days was also amazing.

There are a lot of constructions in Fulidhoo.

Location was great, really close to the bikini beach, spacious room with beautiful view, big and tasty breakfast.

The fridge was moldy, bathtub's outflow rusted, shower cabin's doors was barerly closing, toilet seat was broken. Bathroom needs renovation for sure. We stayed there for one night so it was ok, but can't imagine spending there whole vacation.

They were very nice with us. The owner and the staff made everything for us to feel good. They cooked the dinner for us and it was delicious. Breakfast can be improved, but it's still ok. Fulidhoo has the nicest beaches, we enjoyed them! Thank you for our holiday!

The owner and his family are truly amazing! Everything from the warm welcome to a hartfel goodbye was truly an unique experience. They took care of everything, were fun to talk to and cooked amazing meals. The whole island is truly a beautiful gem and they are working really hard to make it even more appealing (making more beaches, constructing new buildings etc). We were here just before the start of the main season and we were one of the only tourists here and really got the feel for the local life. But this isn't a resort so you shouldn't expect the island to look like it. The owner also arranged for us to go diving with nurse sharks and turtles plus we got our own amazing pictures and videos! Truly an amazing experience and we hope to return here someday.

Very helpful staff, lovable owner, quiet and beautiful surroundings, tasty meals.

It's a very good hotel. The owner is very helpful. Hotel staff cook delicious food, polite, clean hotel. , many trees, shady

A really lovely place at this beautiful tiny island, directly next to the bikini beach! The owners are really friendly and also offer a good dinner for a good price.

Lots of mosquitos, all over the island, don't forget mosquito repellent!
