Surf View Raalhugadhu

Male

We booked two rooms for 3nights in surfview. But really sad about the support level we got. Our AC was not working for 3days even though we complained them no one even came to sort it out. Lucky they had a fan. And even hot water was not working, the water was not draining in the wash room. 
Can go onnnnnnnn on other stuff also, even asking for a iron or water you need to go to the reception about 2-3 times and remind them.  
Unfortunately the Hotel we stay normally was fully booked and we had to stay here. 

Will never recommend if they not change this, sine we travel to Maldives very often

“BAD service”

I had 3-days stay in this hotel. I enjoyed my stay with excellent experience. I would like to recognize the GM (Rasad) of this hotel for making my stay perfect. However, I would recommend for an improvement in Housekeeping and F&B department. Overall, excellent stay. I highly recommend this hotel with no doubts.

Great Management and Great Hotel View!

Surf view Hotel. -Male -Maldives

I stayed in Jan 2018.  My experience was excellent, I RECOMMEND it with no doubts.
I was in contact with the hotel by email and by phone. (google voice ) with  Mr John, the manager. and. Ms  Anjali, the receptionist to get i formation  before o get there.
It was my first time in Male. 
I am very thankful to the people that I was in contact.
I can only say what happened to me and all  is positive.
Ms. Anjali explain the breakfast was included and the hours served. 
Mr. Taj brought me a welcome beverage to my room.  
I felt very very safe to stay at this hotel for me it was the most important.
My room had a front view. with all the amenities working . 
I mean,  the telephone, air conditioner, TV, Cable, the bathroom was clean with toiletries.
The room size was perfect for one person.   
The internet password needs to be update every 5 to 6. hours approx So I called Anjali for the new password. 

The breakfast was great. light but enough to start the day.   And with Arabian express coffee so delicious 
I was ready for the walk
I didn't expect more because everything is imported so I asume everything has to be a little priced 
even the bottle of water have to be imported.    
I walked the whole Island in approx in 6 hours.  and this is the bigger island.  so please tourists be realistic and understand the culture and enjoy the beauty of this place  and the calm live that the Maldivian has and enjoyed the beauty of this place and their people.  I hope it last forever.  
I must mention the kindness of the manager, John.  he went above and beyond  to help.   the receptionist had called the taxi. and I was waiting 
for over 15 minutes.  and my ferry was leaving in 20  minutes. 
if the ferry is gone i will be loosing almost 2 days of my trip, so the manager, John inmediately stop what he was doing.  and offer to drive to the ferry station.   and he did. so i didn't miss the ferry.
They were the best people that I could get around me.   just to think that i was so far away from home and they were so genuine kind with me. I could not ask for more.  
I will recommend to get in contact with the manager. John  or the receptionist. Ms. Anjali. for any question you may have.  
My gratitude to each one of them that assisted me and made my days wonderful. they really tried their best they could   THANK YOU  FOR THEIR KINDNESS AND GREAT HOSPITALITY AT SURF VIEW HOTEL. 
Sincerely
Aida. form. USA

Great management and great people!!! Thanks !!!!

I'm staying now in surf view the staff in the reception very bad attitude, really make disappointing from the first minute I came to hotel. After that the room!!!! Miserable I was book one double room but they offered us two single bed. After I check with the receptionist he said that the only room available if you stay more night we can provide other room like saying the words are not well mannered.. pls I'm not recommending for new comer on here it's really make you disappointed staying in male 

Very bad welcoming attitude 

Not at all an option to be considered
Broken toilet door, no WI Fi, TV for name sake, no proper toiletries, no water.
 
We stayed there for 2 nights and both the nights there was no Wi-Fi. No drinking water was provided in the room .


Not Worth !!

Stayed a night for our next day flight
located just near to Artificial beach 
Rooms are ok not so clean 
Stayed on Room No 333 
No Lift facilites
Poor Wifi NOt connected
Dont expect Hospitality from Staffs
Walkable distance to Airport Jetty

JUST OK

I am a seasoned traveller, and I am generally pretty easy to please, but I do get very upset when I am being ripped off - and this hotel is the recipient of my Rip-Off Hotel 2017 award.

I had booked online, the photos looked inviting, and I had been to Male previously. As i was staying for only 1 night ..the Surf View appeared to be right. Big mistake.

For US$ 123 (booked via the internet) I can expect basic amenities. Well here it goes:

a, although I had paid for airport transfer ..there was no-one at the airport to meet me ..despite later claims to the contrary by the receptionist ..I had waited considerable time at the arrival hall, I asked some of the other hotel guys there if they had seen the Surf View gentleman ..negative.

b,  The hotel is narrow and a steep staircase leads to the upper floors. I was first given a room on the top floor, - the air conditioning was not working ..and so I had to tipsy down again to change rooms ..all this at midnight after a long trip to get there.

c, The new room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke ..this despite the large NoSmoking sign on the door.

d, WiFi in this hotel is generally not working 

e, Given the overall shabby appearance of the entire place I decided to have my breakfast outside

f, My room did not have any windows.  The bedding, furniture, pillows etc are shabby. The only furniture that looks decent were the relatively new cane chairs downstairs in the lobby

g, The large floor tiles on my corridor were not even properly fixed onto the ground, one had to carefully tripsy across them 

h.  Attached is the view from the window on my corridor - this for US$ 123 !

I am fully aware and I accept that Male is not a cheap place to be in ..but for that price I can expect a basic minimum of standards.

Totally overpriced - for low end backpackers only

Very Basic room not worth for the pay 
I stayed over 2 nights stay with pay of 102 dollars but There is not even bottle of water offered in the room .Poor toilet facilities. There is always a noise troubling your sleep from outside . Bed linen Bath towels were not clean.
