Olive Goidhoo

Hello everyone, we would never recommend this guest house to anyone, it sucks. It qualifies itself as a 3* hotel, but in fact it is a guest house, without any responsibility for guests. How could we fall for reviews!? All reviews are not true. My wife and I returned from a tour a week ago, the Olive Goidhoo hotel, the tour was completely ruined, the hotel did not correspond to 3*, it was the most ordinary guest house for the local population. Everything is in order: Transfer: we arrived on time, but we had to wait for the transfer for a very long time, as much as five and a half hours. So we waited for our transfer and the driver drove so hard through the waves that many felt ill and we were given bags in case of vomiting, believe me, everyone took advantage of these bags. On the way back to the airport, it was a total hassle, we were put on a public transfer early in the morning at 7 o’clock for the local population - who were going to Male to work, and before we got to the airport at the point where passengers were dropped off - and we were asked to get out, they took up our suitcases were about to be thrown overboard, I forcibly restrained him and demanded to be taken to the airport, and only after some time of our argument, he called someone and our issue was resolved, we were taken to the airport. I had to fight. Check-in: upon arrival, we were received at a small “reception” type counter by the hotel owner, wearing shorts without any decent appearance, and gave us a room; we immediately felt that we were not welcome. The room is very small and without any special amenities. In the shower the walls were simply plastered, they didn’t provide shower accessories, neither soap nor toilet paper, they asked for 1 dollar for soap, they gave me some kind of shower gel for children, which is impossible to wash with. It's a good idea to take your toothbrushes. Food: we had two meals a day, there was no sugar for breakfast, juice was brought at the bottom of a carafe, we ate tea, we begged for it and waited for half an hour each time, there was nothing to eat for breakfast. For lunch, 2 steam tables were half empty, with only a little boiled dough or vegetables. One plate of fruit, the first few days we didn’t have time, really a plate, whoever got to the plate first got half of the fruit for himself, the rest were left without fruit. We have lost weight these days. Room cleaning: we had a tour for 8 nights, during the whole time we only had our linens and towels changed on the 5th day. There was never any cleaning. Beach: the beach is swampy, algae everywhere, dirty, no sign of a blue lagoon, it was impossible to swim there. There was another beach a kilometer away from us, it was difficult to walk in the heat. What to do in the Maldives, just swim and sunbathe on sun loungers, and you can’t even dream of something like that in this hotel. The owner of the hotel was very rude and did not cooperate with any questions. There were only 3 working staff, a cook, a cleaner and a waitress. In general, draw conclusions, I wasted my vacation. I am a tourist with 10 years of experience and have something to compare with.
