The Corbin Guest House

We stayed at The Corbin for 9 nights and it was amazing!!! Shai and Aiman were so sweet, caring and did absolutely everything they could to make our stay feel like a dream. On our first day they greet us with flowers necklaces and then took us to tour of the island- genius idea! We went on 3 trips and each was perfect. Idyllic picnic beach, snorkeling, surfing among dolphins and watching manta rays- everything was perfect! We asked for many trips to be organized and they did everything they could to let us get to know the beautiful, local side of the Maldives. They even invited us to an evening barbecue on the beach with their family and other guests- an amazing experience. Shai is the best photographer, and catches every single moment of our journey. You can see the huge amount of work and heart that the family puts into creating this place. The place is quite small which adds to a family atmosphere. The rooms were cleaned every day, towels and bedding regularly changed. Everything was clean and the rooms were surrounded by beautiful plants that the owners' mother takes care of. An additional plus for the shower and hangers outside the rooms :). A great chef who prepared delicious food with the possibility of delivery to the bikini beach. As far as the bikini beach is concerned it is 10 minutes by bike (you can rent it for 5 dollars per day) from the guest house and looks like something out of this world and in addition it is empty (we were the only ones there, practically the whole trip). The island is quite small (800 inhabitants) which made us feel at home. A beautiful pitch and skatepark 3 minutes by bike. The shop literally 2 minutes on foot. Everything you may need was close. Everyone was always smiling and willing to help. Shai talks with sincere interest about life and culture on the island which helped us get to know it better. The owners did absolutely everything to make us remember this trip! You can really feel at home. The owners often talked to us so we could get to know each other better but also made sure that everything was to our liking. Evening conversations moved me to tears more than once - a wonderful place created by wonderful people who do everything to make us feel good. At the end we got gifts which was lovely. I have no complaints . I have never met owners like that - they are simply wonderful people with good hearts who did everything to make us smile and feel at home, among family. I think words can't describe the warmth that Shai and Aiman create. I will definitely go back to The Corbin! Unreal place!

We stayed in this guesthouse for 8 days. We were warmly greeted by the hospitable hosts with flowers and coconuts). The rooms are cozy and clean. The hotel is in a great location in the center of the island - next to the store, at an equal distance from the eastern and western beaches. The hotel grounds are very green, have flowers, and have white sand. The hosts are responsive and attentive, and have put a lot of effort into making sure that vacationers feel comfortable. Bicycles and a snorkeling mask are available. We would be happy to stay here again! Thank you for your hospitality! Alex Dina

We were at this hotel in November 2024. Shai’s family is very friendly and kind and gave us care. We were given a tour of the island, shown how bananas and aloe were grown, and they prepared us traditional food while telling us about the traditions. Amazing family hotel.

It was a wholesome stay. The toilet, room and garden were spotless. The staffs are friendly. These are the aspects that I look forward to when I’m traveling. I was looking forward to have a better experience in Maldives. This hit a massive mark. I will indefinitely visit next time.

Do you know the feeling when you arrive at a place and you feel the good energy and vibes? This is such a place. Wonderful, quiet, friendly and with great attention to detail. We are so happy that we stayed at this place. We fully recommend this beautiful guest house. 💛🥰😎

We have had an absolutely amazing time at The Corbin Guest House. The 103 room was coisy and spotless, with woody décor and crisp bed sheets. The property is like a little oasis in the heart of village: full of exotic plants (plants are cared of by owners' mum) and with shell and wood decor. The local breakfast was delicious mostly made of local fruits and fishes in traditional style. The guest house owners: Shaia and Ajman were attentive, friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. They made us feel very welcome. Thanks to them and whole their family we have experienced an exceptional local culture adventure. It was beyond our expectations. We especially enjoyed common chat, local dance, fishing, we even were invited for a grandpa's birthday party. Obviously it is worth to visit Goidhoo for its enviromental attractions: here you may go to the exotic forest, visit local farmers' area, see how grow bananas or papayas. You may find great, secluded bikini beach with some crystal clear sea waters. Are you looking for sea waters attractions? Ask for manta and coral excursions, we loved it. In general we are very satisfied and I highly recommend you a real islanders' life experience in Maledives!
