The manager of this hotel was one of the rudest people I have ever had to deal with!! First when we arrived our rooms were not ready( which we didn’t complain about) and found out that the manager overbooked the hotel and now we were short of one room! When we obviously demanded for a room, he booked one from another hotel and WITHOUT asking us paid for a room which turned out to be way worse and more expensive!! Had we known about the condition of the room he booked for us we would have rejected the and settled for the rooms we had in his hotel. We then asked him to cancel the booking for the extra room since it was not worth for the price.He threw a major fit and told us that we either pay for the extra room or to get out of his hotel! We were quite shocked and honestly feeling very helpless at this point. The hotels in the island was at maximum capacity and dude was threatening to throw us out of the hotel which would obviously leave us stranded. Eventually after multiple long conversations over the phone he agreed to cancel the extra room he booked. Unfortunately, the stress of the whole situation ruined the vacation for us. In the end there was no compensation for what he made us go through and worst of all we ended up paying more than the number of rooms we stayed in. The entire experience was horrible and I would never wish it on anyone else. Please avoid this hotel at all cost.

The worst guesthouse ever with horrible service. No one to be seen when we arrived to the island and didn’t give us enough rooms. Said it’s overbooked and lied to us till very last minute. Don’t recommend at all The owner talks really rude and not pleasant

The service at this guesthouse was extremely disappointing. Despite booking only four rooms, they charged us for an extra room. Additionally, when we expressed a desire to stay together as a group, we were told they were overbooked and had to relocate one couple to another guesthouse. Unfortunately, the alternative accommodation provided was subpar, with a foul smell and worse conditions than our original room.

I have to agree with the most recent guest review as I too had a similar experience, which prompted me into writing this honest and accurate review. I booked a side seaview room, only to arrive early and be shown a room facing a brick wall on a building site, just a metre away. Not only was the view bad, but the actual room was dirty, shabby, dated and miles away from what I expected in a Maldives hotel. I quickly took a photo of the 'sea view'! Yes it is next to the islands generator and you can hear it AND smell the fumes! I refused the room as I had already contacted the owner weeks before asking him to honour my booking with a seaview room as booked and paid for - as I had read reviews saying they had booked a seaview and been given a construction site view! What this hotel does is when someone comes to the hotel who doesn't like their particular room and complains at check in, is to give them another room better, so if you are unfortunate and get there after this happens then you end up with the bad room with no alternative, if you read reviews they have booked a garden room, only to say the sea view was beautiful!! I ended up walking from here and found a lovely hotel, Ayala ocean view hotel. I was not the first one to do this as explained by the receptionist - (and other reviewers), he went on to say Ilaa hotel has the worst reputation on the island and is known to be the cheapest because it is badly maintained and in the worst location. It looks like something from the 1980's that has been left untouched! Other reviewers must be use to.......not much and must be backpackers that have previously been staying in hostels, as that is what it reminded me of, a run down hostel! If anyone that gives this awful property five stars really are encouraging people to book only to be disappointed. It really was shocking that this disgraceful example of a hotel gets these glowing reviews and I can only think (by reading the reviews) that the staff are so friendly that this overshadows some of the guests real experience of the rooms. My advice, like so many others from various booking platforms is to ALWAYS read the LOWEST reviews on any site, find another place, pay more and have a far nicer experience on this small grubby (but beautiful beach) Island. Don't be misled and disappointed. I too had the terrible misfortune of being promised a full refund by booking. Com, only to receive NOTHING, because the owner of this hovel will not admit or acknowledge to *********** that we did not stay there! So the cheating man ended up taking our money and we ended up paying again for alternative accomodation.....you have been warned!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS DUMP AND DO NOT BELIEVE THE FALSE REVIEWS THE WHOLE PLACE IS FILTHY AND IT'S SITUATED NEXT TO THE DIESEL GENERATOR FOR THE WHOLE ISLAND ITS NOISY AND STINKS OF DIESEL, THERE IS A NEW HIGH-RISE BUILDING BUILDING BEING CONSTRUCTED WITHIN 1METRE OF THIS HOTEL THAT TOTALLY BLOCKS ANY SEAVIEW, SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS. IN THE MALDIVES IT COSTS HOTELS $100 FOR 100 FALSE REVIEWS ON ANY PLATFORM. THIS IS THE ONLY HOTEL THAT TAKES YOUR MONEY UPFRONT BECAUSE SO MANY WALK AS WE DID AND LOST OUR MONEY. THIS PLACE IS THE CHEAPEST FOR THE ABOVE REASONS.

Nella mia prima vacanza alle Maldive ho deciso di fare un giro delle varie isole sostando su ognuna 2-3 giorni. Per il soggiorno a Gulhi avevo contattato la guest house Ilaa Beach Maldives chiedendo se era possibile avere una camera con vista mare frontale, mi hanno risposto dicendomi che per avere una quotazione dovevo inviare, oltre alle date in cui volevo soggiornare, la data del volo e copia dei passaporti, mandato quanto chiesto mi hanno mandato il preventivo, molto buono, dove era scritto vista mare ma non era specificato se frontale o laterale, un pò di scambi di mail (in alcune mi hanno chiesto nuovamente copia dei passaporti etc segno che o la persona che rispondeva faceva confusione o che c'erano più persone che rispondevano a quella mailbox e non si fasavano). Alla fine sembrava tutto a posto, riepilogando ho prenotato a novembre 2022 una stanza per 3 notti a partire dal 28 gennaio (il tutto con pdf di conferma). Siamo atterrati a Malé e ho scritto una mail alla struttura ribadendo che saremmo arrivati il giorno dopo con il ferry da Malé Il giorno dopo, mentre stavamo partendo per prendere il ferry mi arriva una mail che chiede in quale data saremmo arrivati ..., gli rispondo oggi ... Arriviamo a Gulhi, non badiamo troppo al fatto che non ci sia nessuno a aspettarci al ferry e ce ne andiamo per conto nostro alla struttura dove arriviamo e ci dicono di aspettare qualche minuto, ma il minuto diventa mezzora e chiediamo cosa succede e il ragazzo alla reception ci dice che non ha ricevuto l'avviso dal suo capo che saremmo arrivati quel giorno ... che dobbiamo aspettare ... dopo più di un' ora ci fanno accomondare nella nostra stanza, posiamo le valige e per vedere come era la vista mare tiro il tendone ... e si vede che la vista è il muro di una costruzione di fronte, scendo a lamentarmi e mi dice che non può farci niente, guardo su Booking e risulta che per le mie date ci sia una camera vista mare frontale, il ragazzo riferisce al suo capo che gli dice che al prezzo che abbiamo pagato noi in quel periodo non si trovano camere vista mare, io gli faccio vedere il foglio di conferma con date e prezzo che mi avevano mandato e da quello che mi dice il ragazzo ha detto che se non ci stava bene potevamo andarcene da un'altra parte (a me il manager della struttura non ha pià risposto via mail, anzi all' inizio ha pure detto che lui non aveva mai ricevuto nessuna richiesta mia su whatsapp ... infatti avevamo fatto tutto con form da web e mail). Dato che eravamo stanchi e nemmeno sicuri di trovare posto in un' altra guesthouse abbiamo deciso di fermarci li, il ragazzo ci ha poi detto che avrebbero cercato di spostarci in un' altra stanza il giorno dopo ... il giorno dopo ci fanno vedere la nuova stanza, più o meno uguale (ma forse non perdeva acqua in bagno e il frigorifero forse si chiudeva a differenza del nostro), stesso tendone ma essendo si sullo stesso piano ma sul lato a fianco speravo la vista fosse migliore ... tiro la tenda e davanti u

The title says it all. The guy at the front desk was nice and helpful and patient organising us trips, helping to figure out the best transfer options and making our stay as convenient as possible. Night fishing followed by a dinner and snorkelling were great experiences. The only downside was resulting from us visiting the hotel out of season and not all the options were available in the hotel's restaurant.

Abbiamo soggiornato all’Ilaa Beach Maldives , ottima esperienza, ci hanno coccolato ed hanno soddisfatto ogni nostra richiesta e necessità. Abbiamo mangiato bene , sempre in stile continentale. Le camere sono semplici ma pulite , abbiamo ricevuto anche un paio di sorprese ( torta e decorazioni floreali). La spiaggia bikini è molto vicina, ha una spiaggia sabbiosa grande ed attrezzata. Nel complesso siamo più che soddisfatti, lo consigliamo sicuramente!!

The guesthouse is low budget, so we didn't expect much. The rooms were ok, they could probably use an upgrade. The breakfast was included and was good. However, the young guys that work at the hotel are really helpful and friendly. The service was really good. The food was Ok and cheap.
