Fans should be put in the dining area. It's very hot and you can't stay at the table for more than 15 minutes.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, the view is amazing, the staff is kind and helpful. The food is very tasty and the portions are large. The excursions offered by the hotel were well organized.

The staff was friendly but sometimes we had the feeling we were bothering them with our requests . But maybe it was just our impression, eventually they always helped us.

Lovely guesthouse,beautiful location, big, comfortable and clean rooms, also the balconies in the rooms are amazing.breakfast is great and served in a nice small courtyard. They also have a great terrace where you can have dinner.

Everything was amazing. You just need to keep in mind that information about free transportation is not valid anymore.

The guesthouse is clean and the room was new and beautiful. There were no toiletteries like handwash etc or safety deposit box and the shower water came very very slowly, but otherwise the room was perfect. Close to the pier and nice views to palmtrees and the sea. The Bikini beach and the sandbank are on the other side of the island, but it's a small island, so easy to walk.

Our next/extended reservation on the same place. Any stronger recommendation? People, location, palms, view, quality. Like in main photo where you see red roof and the corner of the island - for you. We were very happy. Thanks! And the offer for free late checkout was really nice and comfortable.

Everything is great!!!! We will be always be back!!!

An incredible accommodation in a special spot of Paradise. Excellent location given to the proximity to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island with the turquoise blue sea and a large coconut forest just 5 seconds from the accommodation's door. The photos of the accommodation clearly show the brutal essence of the location. The rooms with sea views are fantastic, very well equipped and cleaned daily. The STAFF is very friendly and is always available to help us with whatever we need. Transfers from the island to Capital Male are very well synchronized with speed boats. There are two types of breakfast, Local and continental, we always wanted the continental. The continental breakfast is wonderful and the lunches and dinners prepared by the staff are divine on the terrace overlooking the coconut trees and the breathtakingly beautiful sea, always with fresh fish from the island and other wonderful ingredients!

Best view ever!! Friendly owner, very clean. We had really good time with our family here

A small island far from Male, with a quiet and clean guesthouse. The dock and beach are just a stone's throw away, making it very suitable for families who love fishing. After visiting four islands in the Maldives, we liked Mathiveri and this guesthouse the most and hope to visit here again. The staff are very friendly. Food is fancy so as the activities. Not crowded and cozy for everyone.

It’s on the order side of the island by private beach. The lobby area need some clean up.

It’s very nice, new place. Good breakfast. Helpful staff.

Best location next to the palm tree forest and only a few metres away from the sea, as well as a few minutes from the Bikini Beach. We really recommend the island Mathiveri and Riveli Retreat for having an unforgettable holiday on the Maldives. Farhad and Shohag, the hosts, made our stay very special. They are very professional but also kindhearted people who provide everything you need. They even arranged private boat tours to go snorkeling and see manta rays, turtles, dolphins and much more for a reasonable price. Furthermore the food they cooked was among the best we have eaten on all our holidays. We really loved it at Riveli Retreat and there‘s nothing negative to say about it. Thank you again Farhad and Shohag! We definitely hope to come back one day ☺️

Amazing and delicious breakfast with an amazing view outside and on the balcony 😍 Good value for money! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The view from the room an incredible 😍 So clean, spacious, light and tidy room. Lovely place, beaches, an island and people. Feelings like at the real Maldives. Strongly recommend this guest house!

many moquitos everywhere. We could not open the door to the balcony, so that no fresh air was possible. Also on beaches or the sandbank as well as the island Mathiveri many many moquitos on the beaches. Really annoying. Food on the island is expensive. The speed boat from Airport MALE to the island Mathiveri costs 50USD per person oneway is a bit too expensive (locals pay much much less).

The hotel is very close to the ferry port and the beach. We had our breakfast at the beach every day which was really awesome! The hotel personell from Bangladesh (we did not ask his name) was very friendly and helpful. We rented a Kayak to go to the sandbank (a small island which is extremely beautiful). The beaches and water are more than nice. This is the real Maldive for us. We can recommend this hotel Riveli Retreat Mathiveri. The red house on my photos is the hotel and you can see the location is very close to the beach.
