Olive Goidhoo

Average location on the island, it is far to bikini beach with very limited swimming and snorkeling options. Lots of sea grass in the ocean there. most likely because there is lots of agriculture. Nice and well equipped rooms, clean , big, comfortable with balcony. nice views. Comfortable size of the bathroom, good water pressure and no issues with hot water. Be aware- there are rooms where you hear waterpump noise from the building. Very annoying, due to that, we had sleepless night. Also- when opening balcony during the day you hear water pumps noice coming from watering agriculture fiels just nearby. The major downside of this guesthouse is the meals , FB option is a mistake. We were served burned chicken and fish, Not eatable. Much fried and heavy food. Too much salt in everythig. Not to my taste. Overall- my opinion Goidhoo Olive is not really worthy a visit. This was a mistake in my case. I do not recommend this place.

If you want off the beaten track and local guest house experience you cannot beat this place ! Jordy and his team are a great combination of friendless and so helpful in day to day planning from Kayaking to taking a speed boat out they were really good . The food is simple and local and I had the best fresh fish for dinner one evening which was a real pleasure . Breakfast is simple do try hedika in the local cafe during the afternoon or buy some snacks in the local grocery store ! The walk to the beach is quite long take a bike or get a lift . My room was great had everything I wanted although missed a fridge but got by ! I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re looking for a local island in the Maldives ! Thank you for a lovely stay

A great hotel in a good location. A few steps to a beautiful beach. Very friendly staff who did everything to make our vacation perfect. The transportation to bikini beach was a great thing. Really good breakfast. The room is spacious and in good condition. Efficient air conditioning and a large safety box. Free water. The hotel has a large roof terrace where you can see wonderful sunsets. The peaceful location on the edge of the village guaranteed a good night's sleep. The snorkeling trip was good, we saw manta rays, turtles, dolphins, eagle rays and lots of fish. You should definitely try fishing! These guys are professionals! Thank you Olive Goidhoo for a wonderful holiday! We come back!

Stayed 4 nights and 5 days in Olive. What a wonderful time we had in Goidhoo and in Olive. We did snorkeling trips and island hopping and all our requests were personally handled by the owner of Olive Jordy  He was very accommodating and always guided us to the best options.  Day-to-day operations were handle by very lovely ladies who always helped us with a smile.  Olive have bicycles for rent which came as a blessing to discover Goidhoo. What a lovely island it was. If you go, discover Goidhoo and the close by islands. Every island has its beauty. Olive is situated in a such a place that you have enough privacy and a beach infront.  Sometimes we were picked up and dropped off for excursions,  right in front of the hotel beach which was more than our expectation.  I would give Olive Goidhoo a 5 star rating for the reasons: 1.  Our adventurous day ended in comfort of Olive rooms which done tastefully and comfortably. 2. Very clean 3. Extremely helpful 4. Food was good 5. Management and staff are nice and helpful 6. All things we wanted to was arranged easily.  7. We had our privacy and space. 8. People of Goidhoo are nice. They leave you alone but if you talk to them, they will talk back with a smile. Overall, one of the best island experiences from  all my island trips. Kind of place/island I will go back ( many times ) Cheers
