Online Scams in Maldives

Fake Maldives Resort Booking Platforms

Third-party booking websites present manipulated photos and descriptions of Maldives resorts or guesthouses, often offering prices well below market. After payment the booking reference is either non-existent when you contact the actual property, or the "resort" is a downgraded local guesthouse on a non-resort island. Victims face rebooking costs during peak season when genuine properties are sold out.
