8/10 Very Good

Ripple Beach Inn is very well situated, with the beach literally across the road. There are many cafes and restaurants in the area with a wide choice of menus. Staff were always polite and helpful, though on a few occasions their understanding of English was limited. Breakfast wasnt included in the price and at the price I was paying (about$100 a night) I think it should have been.

The owner was extremely hospitable and allowed me to check in late. He even drove me to the bank and hospital for an additional PCR test I needed for a later flight. They provided complimentary water too and I was able to have my laundry taken care of there by the staff. They hotel was directly across from the beach and about 30 minutes from the airport-very convenient. It was also located right in the heart of everything. Restaurants and coffee shops were close by. The rooms were cozy, apartment style and very clean! The bed was comfy, had an AC, a mini-fridge and the room even had a small balcony. The complimentary breakfast was tasty. Edwin was like my personal concierge. Great hotel for a great price!

It’s an over priced place, i went there in to check in in the middle of the night and the room smelled like a dead rat, in plus of the humidity smell, I didn’t accept to check in and left to another hotel

2/10 Poor

Horrible experience. The room was unclean, the staff was unfriendly, unhelpful and even tried to scam us offering to exchange our US dollars to local currency (they said the closest money exchange was "too far" from the hotel, and we quickly found one 3 blocks away and of course with a better rate of what they were offering). Simple requests like asking for extra towels were reluctantly addressed by the front desk with a real bad attitude. On top of everything, we woke up to find no electricity in our room after the first night, which meant no AC in a hot and humid weather. As anyone would do, we fled the place first thing in the morning and are currently asking for a full refund of our money. This place was the only downside of our trip to Maldives, a wonderful country that can't be enjoyed staying in this hotel. Wouldn't recommend it to anybody, stay away!!!

4/10 Fair

Staff was nice and tried their best to address the issues we raised. We stayed one night before going to resort. 1. Room leaked water and stank of mold. Staff seemed surprised about the massive leak and let us change rooms. 2. Staff merely watched as I carried my family’s luggage down tiny stairs. 3. After arranging hotel transport to airport for transfer to our resort, transport was late and we almost missed flight. 4. Breakfast was corn flakes, that was it. 5. Photos of hotel are deceptive and do not show true state of facilities which are best described as run down. 6. In first room bed linens were stained with yellow splotches.

6/10 Good

Stayed in the sea view penthouse suite for 2 nights. One night on our arrival to Malé before going to our resort and the second on our return trip home. I would definitely say it’s only good to stay for a night in transit to your next hotel/resort. The bathroom in the pictures is NOT the actual bathroom. I had to blast the air conditioning on the lowest setting to not sweat to death. Breakfast was decent. We were a family of 4 and were only provided with 2 towels, 3 pillows and two blankets. Luckily we brought my youngest blanket. Our feet were black when we left from the dirty floors so I would suggest wearing shoes or socks the entire time. Staff was nice and very friendly during our stay though.

Stay with Family in Maldives near to city area
The staff was very welcoming, supportive, and helping. The hotel is located in an area very safe and with all kind of availabilities on walking distance. The morning was very beautiful with an awesome sunrise view. General continental breakfast is served on the table in lobby area. If you plans your stay in this hotel due to humid weather better take insects repellent (especially for mosquito, bed bugs), soap and shampoo with you. Be ready to climb lot of stairs with short spacing like ladder. Room make over is until 1PM. For water activities islands are good or consult directly with the companies a day or before.

If you do not mind cleaness, location is not bad.
It was amazingly dirty hotel. Bed sheet was from long time ago with other people's smell. And black looking even white linen. Towel was same white original color but black. Breakfast was dried and cold sausage with coffee powder on top with hot water. Seems like lady does not know how to cook. I travelled over 60 countries but this hotel was worst. Thank god I stayed the other island most of travel period and this was only for airplane time.

Best service ever!
Stayed in this hotel for 5D4N, the staff were very efficient, friendly and extremely helpful. They were very accommodating as we had to check in late due to our flight. Upon arrival we were picked up by their staff in a car. They even upgraded the room for us! (No guarantee of course). They all spoke good english and the humble breakfast in the morning was delightful. Definitely made our stay in the Maldives a very good and memorable one. P.S. Only downside is, there is no lift, if you stay on the 4th or 5th floor it'll be abit of a climb. Good excercise though:)

One day max
I wouldn’t recommend staying here for more than a night. We only stay here because we arrived too late to get to our resort. Bathroom had no shower curtain. It was like a shower with a sink and toilet inside of it. The staff was very kind. Not much to see or do in the surrounding areas. Not much to see or do in the surrounding areas.
