Perfect location few minutes from the public ferry terminal as well as from the beach. Clean and decent enough room with working AC and hot water. Ceiling fan was a bit loud but due to having AC it was not needed. The hotel provides two bottles of water a day which was nice. Wifi good in general although some short cut-offs might occur. For the price breakfast was enough although I'd add some cold cuts perhaps to go with the toast. Staff was extremely friendly and they came to pick me up from the ferry although it was just a few minutes walk. Gave a nice first impression. I would recommend this hotel for anyone who's looking for a budget alternative to Maafushi and if I were to go to Maafushi again I would stay here again.

Salt Beach Hotel is a great budget friendly hotel. As a solo traveler I felt completely safe (due to my laziness I even left my room unlocked for hours at a time when I left to the beach) and felt like I was really cared for. Manoruban was willing to be able to help me with anything I needed, big or small. Ram helping me with taking my luggage to the public ferry was a big help and I could always count on Ram for making my room beautiful. I couldn’t be more grateful for the staff at Salt Beach Hotel and I recommend to anyone visiting Maafushi. Would definitely come again!

The room was awful. The TV didn't work. I asked the staff member, and he just looked at me and said, "Sir, the TV doesn't work. The air conditioning only goes up to 24°C." I was dying of heat. I turned on the fan, and it was making a hellish noise, lots of cobwebs, water dripping from the bathroom, and there was no divider. In other words, the bathroom was completely wet after showering. The hairdryer didn't work, and there was a terrible noise coming from the room next door. I asked the staff if they could change my room, but they simply said they had no more rooms. Not to mention, I have no complaints, but they helped me with an early check-in. I was super tired from flying from MCO, a two-day trip. They're nice, but the room... Guys, Expedia shouldn't do this to us. The room is nothing compared to the photos on the website. I have videos and photos and will post them for you to see. If you're in the Maldives, invest in something better than this hotel.

Kalam and the rest of the staff is very helpful. They offered good price for tour and very honest/professional when dealing with tour issue such as weather is not permitted and the tour needs to be cancelled, changes of itinerary and etc. They will refund accordingly and advised is accordingly. Highly recommended.

The front desk staff are generally nice and friendly, the room are reasonablely okay condition,only the tour operation department has some issue, their price is the average market price ,but the quality they offer are not good, particularly they finish the whole tour one and half hour earlier than they promised, when you ask why, theu just simply told you that since we have less people today,so we end the tour earlier than usual, and one guy whose name is Rocky,his attitude to the customer are not in a very professional manner,when you ask if they have hot water,he just said in a mocking tongue : Man,it's a boat,not a restaurant! in this case,I would not recommend to join the excursion tour they offer.

A estadia em Maafushi foi maravilhosa! Amamos! A equipe do hotel é maravilhosa e atenciosa! Única coisa que poderia ter no quarto é uma cortina de banheiro ou box para evitar que a água espalhe por todo o local! No mais, vale a pena, sendo que o hotel está próximo de tudo, inclusive da praia de biquíni e de restaurantes e locais de passeios.

Excellent rapport qualité prix
Le séjour était idéal. Il faut compter 25$ pour une navette jusqu’à l’île qui prends 40 minutes. La façade de l’hôtel n’a rien à voir avec les photos. Le personnel est très agréable et le petit déjeuner est top.

Agradable y cómodo
El hotel es cómodo y agradable, facilitan las excursiones y los transportes.
La relación calidad precio es buena.
Nos trataron con amabilidad y nos ayudaron a organizar las excursiones cada día.
Las excursiones son variadas, estupendas y muy bien organizadas. Con un personal agradable y amable.
La habitación amplia, con una cama grande y cómoda. Tiene una nevera pequeña muy útil.
El desayuno poco variado.
Recomiendo el hotel y sus excursiones.

Esperábamos algo mejor para su calificación.
La verdad nos generó mala impresión el mal olor en la zona del lobby y en recepción. Para salir al comedor se tiene que salir por una bodega llena de cajas y de mal aspecto. Deberían mejorarlo. Las habitaciones básicas pero cómodas. Buena atención aunque en dos días seguidos no nos arreglaron la habitación, tuvimos que decir q no la arreglaran y su respuesta fue q porque no habíamos dejado las llaves. No tiene lógica que uno tenga q dejar las llaves ya q el servicio de limpieza debe tener llaves de todas la habitaciones.el desayuno siempre el mismo y muy básico. Tienen servicio de excursiones de ellos mismos muy recomendado.buena ubicación.
