Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked the hotel for 1 night in January 2020 to catch a flight from Male on next day while coming back from a private resort. We booked 2 sea-view rooms for 2 families via Agoda. We checked in the hotel in the evening. The rooms we got, is just a size of a match box, they are sooo small that we could not get any place to open our luggage. Having said that, one of the rooms we got was not even a sea view room, and the view from window is terrible - wall of a under construction building, you can see the pictures attached here. Upon complaining the same, they told us there were no rooms left all were occupied. However, on the day of check-in we called the hotel and confirmed our stay. My question is , if we paid for sea view room , how can they deny to give us the same. Then they should have charged the room rent of that horrible room and returned us rest of our money. Also the tariff in this hotel is very very high , compare to the room size and view. I would never suggest any one to book this hotel, the photos are shown in the website is just eye wash.

I think I've only ever given a 1 star review on Tripadvisor once before and that was to a restaurant. Usually I can accept a few things going wrong here and there and let it go. But man, this joint........the worst. Pros : Good Location. Cons: Holy Moly. Where do I begin. Airport pick up booked in, they didn't show up. Had to ring three times and wait nearly an hour, standing around in sweltering heat after 21 hours on a plane is the worst. Room was as dirty, as it was small. Internet is slow and drops out all the time. Hot water? Yeh maybe, but usually not. Stayed for five nights, not ONE house cleaning service done. Even left the 'make up my room" tag on the door while we were away visiting a resort for two days, still nothing done when we got back. Asked for fresh towels for THREE DAYS before having to go and get some ourselves. Asked for toilet paper three times before we got any. Breakfast is horrible, ate there on the first day then went out every day after that. Then, as if one final poke in the eye from the staff, we booked an airport drop off at 6pm for our 9pm flight. 6pm came and went, 6.15pm came and went, 6.30 came and went and we kept getting told "he's coming........it's ok he's coming". Had to go and stand on the street in the pouring rain and hail down a taxi. Horrible experience, if i could give zero stars I would without question.

we stayed here for 1night because we have early morning flight from Male.We searched so many hotels near airport and finally opt for surfview and our decision was perfect. Neat and clean rooms.our room has small kitchen,drawing room and a bedroom.our room was bit small but perfect for short stay. Hotel staff was very helpful,especially the man on reception,sorry i don’t know his name. hotel staff helped us finding taxi,exchange of money and so on...definitely a best place to stay.Our room was on 5th floor with a hreat view of bridge connecting two main islands and a sea.

We had a one-night stayover in Male. This hotel was rated well and close to the airport. It is a nice property. They offered a free breakfast, but we had an early flight and could not take advantage. The only issue was the shower, it leaked and the water pressure was poor. But it did not ruin our trip in any way.

I was looking for a place to stay overnight on our way to Island resort in Maldives and booked in here. A delux suite. Though compact, it had everything essential for a says stay (electric stove, microwave, some utensils), though I never had to use any of these. Rooms are Compact. Bed size is good for 2 adults. Sofa is of good size and plush. Looking over the bay. The staff is awesome. Very helpful. They picked us up from airport for no charge. However, return to airport on next day early morning was RF.100. I had a night stay booked in Novina for return journey, and Novina does not come even halfway close to Surfview, from any angle.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my boyfriend and we had a pleasant stay. Its location is really good. It is just a 5-min walk to both the artificial beach and the surf beach and it lies within walking distance to the main jetty where boats from the airport arrive. The room was great. It had aircon, wifi and the bed was comfy. Food at the rooftop restaurant was delicious. We had pasta with tuna in pesto sauce and mango curry and we liked both very much. The staff were kind and helped us whenever we asked them. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel.

Your title "Well Worth" caught my immediate attention. As I continued to read in your detail, Male' is very much a hub for moving on.unless involved in a government of business situation. Very well noticed, you did not for a moment hesitate in acknowledging with all respect our staff. They are the stars that make a hotel shine. Being here for a couple days may have given you some insight as to our superb location. our restaurant has the best view in Male City We wish that your few exciting moments with us will be well remembered.

I had a great stay in this hotel. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the view from the terrace towards Male’s bridge was best in class. The room was like a small apartment, which had a small living room with a sofa, a small fridge, a sink, two chairs and one table. I loved the rooftop restaurant! It is a great place to have dinner and enjoy the views. Food was delicious! The staff were very nice and helpful at all times. Many thanks to the staff for the good care they took for me!
