Volgens de receptionist hadden wij één upgrade gekregen, omdat de kamer die wij geboekt hadden niet beschikbaar was op dat moment. De ‘upgrade’ was alles behalve een upgrade. Je had geen mooi uitzicht en moest trappen lopen om bij je kamer te komen. Wij hebben dit geweigerd. Ivm gezondheidsredenen konden wij niet dagelijks traplopen. Er bleef 1 optie en dat was een andere kamer en daar moesten wij uiteindelijk ook extra voor betalen. Erg schandalig! Het enige wat wij wilden was de kamer die we hadden geboekt. Maar dit kon niet, omdat deze dubbel geboekt was. Het eten was helaas ook niet denderend. Geen variantie en het buffet was erg klein. En helaas zagen wij ook een kakkerlak lopen op de tafel waar het buffet lag. Omgeving was prachtig en het personeel was erg aardig en vriendelijk behalve de receptionist, die was niet echt klantvriendelijk. ##### Hanane Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Milena 30 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Magnifique hôtel, très belle plage et fonds sous marins pour le snorkeling. Personnel aux petits soins. Superbes et abordables Excursions en compagnie de biologiste marin. Hôtel éco responsable, qui fait des efforts pour être le plus durable et respectueux de l’environnement possible. Attention car l’accès à l’île est compliqué, il y a très peu de vols domestiques par jour et l’attente à l’aéroport de Male peut donc être très longue (environ 6h à l’aller et au retour pour nous). Très calme, si vous souhaitez vous reposer c’est parfait. Mais manque d’animation et de spectacle. Il n’y a qu’un restaurant avec un seul buffet. La nourriture est bonne et de qualité, mais un peu répétitive. Nous avons mangé de délicieux poissons ! La chambre est comfortable, celle avec la vue sur la mer permet d’avoir une vue magnifique. Nous vous recommandons cet hôtel sans hésitation et avons passé un merveilleux séjour. ##### Milena ### 8/10 Good #### Judith 20 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Die Unterkunft, der Strand das Meer einfach schön. Selten das die Bilder des Hotels dem tatsächlichen Zustand nicht gerecht werden. Das Essen hat hervorragende Qualität die man bei einem Buffet nicht leicht findet, leider ist es aber nur lauwarm. Ausserdem sollte man wissen das es keinen TV gibt und das WLAN reine Glücksache ist und nur selten funktioniert. sucht man Erholung und Ruhe oder ist Schnorchelfan ist man aber sicher gut aufgehoben. ##### Judith Stayed 17 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SYLVIE 16 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nature, calme et plongée Magnifique séjour dans cet hôtel dont l'atout majeur est l'excellent restaurant et la gentillesse infinie de l'ensemble du personnel Les chambres sont simples avec vue sur la mer et la plage à 10m, le jardin botanique est splendide, le club de plongée sur place au top, le seul point négatif est le tarif des excursions un peu trop élevé. Nous recommandons cet hôtel pour tous les amoureux de nature et de vacances reposantes ##### SYLVIE Stayed 13 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nelson 5 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Best Experience,The Staff were Really Nice and Helpful ##### Nelson Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic laid-back charm to this resort, as the name suggests. I couldn’t be happier with our stay at Barefoot. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the food and service was excellent. Anything more would have felt OTT and unnecessary. Congratulations on doing your best to keep things natural and eco-friendly. The Maldives are troubled by washed-up plastic and the more you do, the better I like it. 😊 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 20 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ＳＴ, 福岡県 16 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 事前の連絡から、現地での対応まで、 すべてが神対応でした。 特に、砂浜が近いので砂がつきがちなお部屋を 毎回清潔にたもってくださり感謝です。 グローエのシャワーなどワンランク上のホテルステイを楽しめました。 シェフがイタリアご出身ということで、食事は毎回パスタで出るのですが、 これも美味でした。食事では、特に朝食のオムレツが最高でした。 テレビもない、お酒もない。あるのは美しい海と、ゆったりとした時間。 癒されました。バカンスにはもってこいの宿泊先でした。 ドイツをはじめヨーロッパや南米・アフリカの方々が多く、日本の方には、 １週間でどなたにも会いませんでした。 この時期、確かに海の波はやや強く、シュノーケリングなどに向かう 船はよく揺れるのですが、それもそんなものだと思えば大した負担では ありませんでした。スタッフの皆様に感謝です。またチャンスがあれば行きたいです。 ##### ＳＴ Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ivan 4 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gioiello alle Maldive Struttura eccezionale, staff cordiale disponibile ed estremamente simpatico.

Barefoot Eco Hotel turned out to be the perfect place to regain my energy. It's quite small, so not too many people around. At lunchtime, the whole beach could be almost empty, and I got the whole lagoon to myself. It was amazing. Obviously, not the right choise for someone looking for evening action. (There is no alcohol on the island / resort either, but you can get a drink on board a bar boat nearby.) Food was good, but in that heat, I wasn't too hungry. I drank the juice bar alcohol-free drinks instead, super good! Not included in the half board/ full board, though. Everything in the resort is quite expensive, so be prepared for that. Also, take small dollar notes for tips. The only tourist resort in Maldives located on an island where also locals live, it was a big bonus to get to visit the nearby village too, and see some local people and buildings. Village is small, about 1000 inhabitants, but has a few shops that sell groceries and souvenirs, and they'll take dollars. There are some cafes too, I never got to those, but apparently they would be worth a visit. I stayed on top floor of one of the beach villas, and had a perfect sea view from my room. This was my first time to Maldives, but I will be back. Very likely even to Barefoot Hotel, and I would definitely also recommend it to my friends. ##### Katia Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ordentliche Zimmer in Strand Nähe mit super Aussic Dieses war ein rundum gelungener Urlaub mit super Strand und Aussicht vom Zimmer.

Dopo varie peripezie... telefonate e altro , abbiamo incontrato uno dei ragazzi che ci ha detto che sapeva del nostro arrivo ma , non sapendo l’ora e il numero del volo ha prenotato l’ultimo volo ... ore 23.20, circa 8 ore dopo il nostro arrivo! I voli prima erano tutti pieni!!

It's not your traditional Maldivian resort, since it is situated in an island with a village (normally resorts are located in private islands). This adds greatly to the whole experience! If you are the type of person that likes to learn about the local culture of the places where you travel, this is a perfect combination. The hotel does a lot of work to support the local community, such as hiring locals, providing free training for people to work in the tourist industry, tours into the local village, cooking shows hosted by locals and others. The hotel also tries to minimize its footprint in the environment. For instance, the hotel doesn't sell any drinks in plastic bottles. The location is stunning! You clearly get this sense of being off the grid, in a tropical place. We saw turtles, harmless sharks, different kind of rays (manta, eagle, sting), tropical fishes and dolphins. The hotel offers different daily programs to get up close to these, as well as to visit nearby historical places. The food provided is delicious! It's a mix of Italian with influences of local cuisine. On Friday's, is Maldivian night and you can have a full Maldivian dinner experience. Finally the staff makes the whole experience 5 stars! Everyone, from the reception, to the restaurant to the diving center was friendly and helpful! We spent there almost two weeks and had the time of our lives. We will definitely return, if we have the chance. ##### Jose Stayed 11 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Genuinely friendly staff, interesting and varying meals, stunning surroundings! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia , Dresden 25 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place, great food, great people, great diving (unfortunately all coralls Areal dead, still, a Lot of fishes) ##### Julia Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### 時間よ止まれ, Japan 13 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good place まず、マレの空港での乗り換えは、ホテルからのメールに書かれている方が行なってくれるので心配ないです。ホテルのエントランスは、なかなかのもで予想外のウエルカムドリンクに驚きました。すぐに、敷地内を案内してくれます。綺麗ですよ！また、部屋のエアコンの電源まで説明してくれます。そして、朝起きたらパンフレットそのままのモルディブの海に、うあ〜！部屋がグレードアップしてました。窓を開けたままにしなければ蚊は来ないそうです。ハエもいないし季節的なものかもしれませんが雨が降ります。すぐにまた晴れますのでバルコニーのおてだまソファが役に立ちます。スノーケリングの無料のツアーは、その前に練習が必要との事。イルカ、ビウオ、魚はいっぱいいるらしいですが船で行く必要があります。がしかし、この海と砂浜から離れる事はできません！食事するのも忘れてしまうくらい虜になってしまいます。フードスタッフのお兄さんは、ディズニー漫画そのままなのでかわいいです。朝からロシアのカップルの男のひとが中でもとくに可愛い男のスタッフを優しく抱きしめて離さないので彼女が可哀想でした。あとドイツ、インドネシア人…家族、一人の方もいるし日本人は、私くらいかな？食事はイタリア系のホテルと言う事で美味しいです。遠いのですが、この絶景のロケーションの海を見た後では時間がたつのが早すぎて止められません！最後の日の朝は食欲がなくなり物事の終わりを感じさせられます。カタール航空の機内音楽が寂しさを知らしてくれるでしよう。こんな思いをするなら二度と行きたくない!涙が出ます。しかし他の海とは比べられないくらい別格の別世界の、この世とあの世との違いが感じられます。また、行けばいいじゃない！そうもう他の海には、行けないでしょう❣ ここは、一番最後にしたほうがいいでしょう。 ##### 時間よ止まれ Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Red Sniper, Den Haag 8 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Paradijsje!

Too many mosquitoes and black-winged stilt...very annoying...don't forget to bring a strong insect repellent with you! Room: good hotel rooms. However, AC had to be fixed, had always to order extra towels, lights were out of order...but everything was fixed quickly... Wi-Fi is almost inexistent! Staff: all staff is very friendly no matter what they do. The staff at the reception was specially very careful, friendly, quick and professional. My special thanks to you Sara! Dive center: very professional, knowledgeable and friendly people. Learned with them the Enriched Air Diver speciality and also many tricks and good tips to improve my diving. They definitely know the surroundings and understand a lot about diving! Also act very responsive and careful towards all divers. Food: breakfast is not special. Meals are generally healthy and standard. There are variations between vegetables, soup, pasta, rice, chicken, local fish (mostly tuna) and local spicy dishes. Everything cooked very creatively and tastes good enough. It is a shame the poor variety and low quality of food offered in the bar (shame shame shame to offer an industrialised chicken pasta box for 12 USD!! It is awful and costs max 2 Euro in Europe!! Shame shame!) ##### Denise Stayed 12 nights in May 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### harald, norway 3 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxed, beatiful hotel with own garden Relaxed and beatiful Own garden with vegetables and fruit Local island with village and friendly people Very good diving centre , knowledgable dive staff and excellent local boat crew who took us safely through a storm. ##### harald Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### pro-gai 18 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Paradies Upgrade - kostenlos Zimmer direkt am Stand gehabt , super schönes Strand , sehr ruhig und sauber.

It is a bit further out than the other resorts, but it's worth the trek if you are looking for a quite place. The hotel is not very big and therefore not many guests overcrowding the areas. The food from the buffet is varied and delicious, the dinner menu changes everyday. The beach is beautiful and it's easy to find places to snorkel right there. The hotel offers some free amenities (2-hour kayak rental, morning yoga, bike rental) which are quite nice. The bar boat in the evenings is worth a visit even if you don't plan on drinking and the village is lovely and quaint. On the down side, it is far out. You have to take a 45 minute internal flight to get here (no hydro-lane or speed boat). There are only 4-5 flights a day to the island so if you don't land in Male at the ideal flight to get on the next plane you may need to wait 4/5 hours to get to the island, but expect to wait a while anyway. This is a place to disconnect, so no TV in the rooms or anywhere, which may be a plus for some people, and not much for evening entertainment. In the evenings you can go to the boat bar where they serve alcohol. It's 5 minutes from the hotel by speed boat, with beautiful views, but even there it's sort of quiet. ##### Maria ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horubadhoo-Island-Hotels-Royal-Island-Premium-All-Inclusive-Resort.h1501450.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayada Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maguhdhuvaa-Hotels-Ayada-Maldives.h7353026.Hotel-Information) > > [Soneva Jani](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Medhufaru-Hotels-Soneva-Jani.h15375843.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [Hondaafushi Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hondaafushi-Hotels-Hondaafushi-Island-Resort.h69895549.Hotel-Information) > > [Cocoon Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ookolhufinolhu-Hotels-Cocoon-Maldives.h15440435.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredu Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuredu-Island-Hotels-Kuredu-Island-Resort.h1521330.Hotel-Information) > > [Eriyadu Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eriyadu-Hotels-Eriyadu-Island-Resort.h8094958.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuredhivaru-Hotels-Movenpick-Resort-Kuredhivaru-Maldives.h28858949.Hotel-Information) > > [You & Me Maldives - Adults Only - Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uthurumaafaru-Hotels-You-Me-Maldives.h36035737.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Island Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ziyaraifushi-Island-Hotels-Summer-Island-Maldives.h9990281.Hotel-Information) > > [JOALI Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muravandhoo-Hotels-JOALI-Maldives.h22699380.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chaaya-Island-Hotels-Cinnamon-Dhonveli-Maldives.h2232968.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Siyam Olhuveli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olhuveli-Hotels-Sun-Siyam-Olhuveli.h7564853.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maafushivaru-Hotels-Lti-Maafushivaru-Maldives.h5248538.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lankanfinolhu-Hotels-Villa-Nautica-Paradise-Island-Resort.h1932406.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Select Meedhupparu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Select-Meedhupparu-Premium-All-Inclusive.h2256805.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandies Bathala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bathala-Island-Hotels-Sandies-Bathala.h33096418.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falhumaafushi-Hotels-The-Residence-Maldives.h6563347.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Water Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Water-Villas.h1520790.Hotel-Information) > > [South Palm Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ismehela-Hera-Hotels-South-Palm-Resort-Maldives.h31543567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cora Cora Maldives-Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maamigili-Island-Hotels-Cora-Cora-Maldives-Premium-All-Inclusive.h67541796.Hotel-Information) > > [Furaveri Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Furaveri-Hotels-Furaveri-Maldives-Stay-4-Nights-Or-MORE-From-01-May-To-31-Oct-2025.h12809109.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-XPErience-Ailafushi.h72915265.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information)
