Masaaree Boutique Hotel

1.The staff was barely around. 2.The property looks run down and seems like it was not really taken care off. The carpet needs to be replace as it smells and traps a lot of dust. 3.The standard double room (room 102) had an unpleasant smell (I think it was from the carpet) and it has no window to help aired the smell out. So we decided to change to an upper floor room with a balcony (room 204). The room was bigger and since it has a balcony, we could breathe better. But the downside was the wifi was non existence. The toilet seat was broken and the shower head was missing. When we moved in, the carpet was not cleaned, so we had to ask the staff to vacum it for us. They didn’t even clean the room the next day. And we had to pay extra for all of the above (as the room rate is higher compared to the standard room). It was quite a disappointment to be honest. When we were in the previous room, we had to ask for everything (i.e kettle, kettle power cord, slippers) which shows that they don’t really check the rooms before letting guest in. And it was a hassle when refer to point no 1. 4.We tried to enjoy ourselves staying at this hotel but we were just not feeling it. We had stayed at 2 different hotels on a different island in Maldives before arriving at Masaaree and 1 more hotel before leaving Maldives. But the other hotel’s standard are way beyond this hotel even though the other hotels are just a 3 star hotels and the room rate wasn’t much of a difference with Masaaree. 5.I truly hope this hotel will make an improvement and will sincerely put their customers first and doesn’t just run the place for the sake of just running a business. 6.Anything good worth mentioning I think is the buffet breakfast as this is the only hotel out of the 3 places that we stayed in Maldives that served buffet during breakfast. And another thing is perhaps the staff, though they were quiet and wasn’t really interested to chat much but was polite. 7.
