Verified traveler

Maldives islands are much better than Male city

### 2/5 - Disappointing

Kari

It's not great but we don't really go to Malé as tourists, we mostly just go to get coffee or Burger King or KFC or to get necessities. For that, it's fine.

### 5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Everyone who live in Maldives are kind. You don’t have to be afraid to walk at night by yourself .

### 5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I like Maafushi less crowd. But food is fresh and best in male
