After reading all the great reviews on tripadvisor we didn't hesitate to book Happy Life Maldives (HLM ) for a 5 night stay at the beginning of May - the start of the rainy season. We knew we were taking a risk coming here at the very start of the "mid-season" (which should really be classified low season due to... More

Came across this place on facebook by accident, and finally decided to stay with them mainly cos the price was unbeatable and you get to stay in a village unlike other resorts. Please note that, this place is a small place, and is not a resort but a smaller lodge that is located in a picturesque corner of Island of... More

Great place to stay, definitely better then resort island. Very friendly staff and they have the best chef - the food served was delicious! Rooms are spacious enough and very clean - no housekeeping during our stay, but this is not a resort, its a guesthouse so have not expected it. Highly recommended!

It was pretty foolish of me to just stay here for just 24 hours. Nevertheless, I am more than happy to have spend that time in Happy Life Maldives. Refreshing environment, good food, friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms is what you will find here. You can also interact with the friendly local islanders, unlike other resorts in Maldives where... More

I highly recommend this lodge to all friends as you will be in paradise surrounded by new long time friends who truly want you to have a magnificent holiday. The three meals/day were superb-better cooking than I could possibly muster. The decor of the rooms is a mix of Maldivian & modern-quite nice, well thought out. This lodge allows tourists... More

One of the best place we have ever been to. The guesthouse is cosy and small with family atmosphere, rooms are nice and clean and provide everything you need. The location is great, the guests actually have their beautiful private beach only 20m walk from the guesthouse. The staff and all local people are very friendly, hospitable and kind and... More

I spent together with my girlfriend 12 days during Christmas Time (December 12’). It is a very amazing place to spend holidays. People are so friendly and helpful. You feel yourself like at home. The guest house is situated on a local island (the only guesthouse on the island) so you get to experience some real Maldivian culture but with... More

I traveled to Maldives with a friend. We're both more backpacker style travelers, so we decided that a resort was not our thing.. Staying on an island with the local population gives you a much better feel of the country. When you combine that with brand new, really nice rooms and great food 3 times a day, you've got a... More
