The Bilimbi Guesthouse and Inn Reviews

We stayed at the hotel from February 25 to March 11. When we arrived in Male, there were a lot of people meeting us at the exit. You need to find your own among them, if you can’t, ask anyone - they will help. We exchanged money at the airport. Don’t change a lot, there is nothing special to spend it on. We were taken to the island by ferry in 30 minutes. We were met at the pier by manager Nazim, he took our things and took them to the hotel. The rooms are normal, clean with high ceilings. There is air conditioning, a fan, a hair dryer, a kettle, a refrigerator, unlimited bottled water (jugs), tea, sugar, cutlery. The hotel has two buildings (5 rooms in each), we were fed in the first. We lived in the second. We had breakfast and dinner, we went to the first. It’s 5-7 minutes at a leisurely pace. The island itself is a small village with narrow streets and an almost complete absence of cars. The locals travel mainly on motorbikes or bicycles. Everything is quiet and calm. On the day of arrival, Nazir showed us the way to the beach, and in the evening he walked us to the cafe in the first building. In the morning, there are two types of breakfast - Maldivian or continental. Both have sausage and omelet. The continental has three toasts with butter and jam, and the Maldivian has four flatbreads (lavash), coconut porridge and marinated tuna. Tea, coffee, and juice to choose from. For dinner, there is either fish with rice, or egg with rice, or pasta and juice. You won't go hungry. We liked all the dishes. It's about 15 minutes to the beach. The lagoon is beautiful, clean, though small. There are a lot of beautiful fish, you can see them without a mask. Sun loungers need to be occupied in the morning, as by 10 o'clock everything can already be occupied. The staff is responsive and resolves guests' issues. We liked everything very much. We recommend it.
