Liberty Guesthouse Maldives

We liked the fact that the property is next to the beach, however they forgot to book our boat from the airtport to Liberty and they did not arrange alternative accomodation while we waited for the afternoon boat. After providing an offer for one excursion they were not proactive in offering other activities. While we understand the issue of poor logistics in getting food to the island, food quality was poor and lacked variety. I would give it one star. I will not be a repeat custumer.

We spent an unforgettable 10 days in this wonderful hospitable guest house! Rooms with a huge double bed, refrigerator, air conditioning, ceiling fan. There is always hot water. The cleaning is excellent, change of towels, beach towel,drinking water in the room. Breakfast, lunch/dinner. There are many delicious dishes for dinner, not only local, but also European cuisine. Many thanks to the chefs! You guys are great! We were surrounded by care and friendly attitude. We will remember you and Let's remember these days!

Booked for 5D4N full boards diving package with Liberty Guests House. As a solo diver, I’m quite hesitant if they didn’t give their full diving services during my stay. To be honest, proceed with the booking without any research, only read a few comments from here and followed their Facebook page. Surprisingly, I received the best services and great hospitality from the owner, Zala & all the staffs. Started with Tharuka, helping with booking and arrangements. I got a nice room with sea views. I watched sunrises every morning. The room has AC and water heater. When I arrived, immediately I had dive briefing and did check-up dive after the lunch. Since I’m the only diver, I had Jailam & Zala to accompany me. Both of them are instructors. Even they have limited diving equipment, but they provided good services. Then, I went to Omadhoo Wall for my first dive with a big boat and another 2 crews. I had incredible dives experience, Jailam is a great guide, patience and supportive which made me feel safe. He shared tips to get a good video with Insta360 too. On the second last day, we tried to look for whale shark, but failed. Last day, I asked the possibility to repeat Dhigurah Baeyru site for whale shark, my last chance to accomplish bucket list. Supposedly I did 2 dives, but I chose to proceed with 1 because it’s quite far location and I need to clear my ‘No fly’ duration before my flight. Another surprised, they agreed and we successfully see the whale shark. The boat crews are awesome. After whale shark encounter, we had lunch at the sandbank, which I don’t even have to swim (they get the boat closer to the beach). Succeed the dives with sights of whale shark, nurse sharks, grey shark, dolphin, manta & eagle rays. All the meals are good, nice Maldivian meals. Even the last dinner is on the beach under the stars celebrating marriage proposal & anniversary of 2 guests couples. I would recommend anyone to stay with Liberty Guest House. Plan to come back next year for another visit.

Staying at Liberty Guesthouse was great. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe there, the staff was lovely, very helpful and accommodating. I took a fullboard option. The food was delicious, tasty local dishes. The surrounding is wonderful. The beach is at your doorstep. You can swim and snorkel and see so many fishes and corals. As other reviews mentioned, there's some smoke sometimes coming from a garbage disposal place nearby where they burn the rubbish, but that didn't bother me, just a little smoke while you can enjoy the paradise and the local maldivian way of life at such a small price comparing to expensive resorts.

For many years the Liberty Guest House was our preferred holiday destination until Covid put a stop to it. Finally we could return in November 2023 and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Coming from Europe, you feel projected into a life of silence, contemplation, simplicity, peace for body and soul. Doing nothing, just observing the sea, the clouds, trees, the sun and the wind. Food is simple, tasty, good for the body. Diving easy and well organized. Zala’s team is the best: smiling, ready to help. Like any local Maldivian island, Mahibadhoo may surprise in many ways. Visitors from abroad discover habits like rubbish being burnt on the island, unthinkable in Europe. Over time things will improve, we noticed that the site is better organized, the waste sorted by type etc. and the young generation is more aware of environmental issues. Snorkelling in the lagoon next to the Guest House is an adventure each time. Corals have grown and we were amazed to discover the multitude of fish and even nudibranch, if you are lucky a shark, turtle of stingray may cross your path. We are grateful to all those who served and looked after us, thank you and hope to see you again soon.
