The Corbin Guest House | House in Goidhoo, Baa Atoll

“This is a 100% family run business and the very owners and their parents are taking care of the guests and really going out of their way to make sure everyone has got what they need, are comfortable and at ease. We were introduced to many aspects of local culture, cuisine, customs and even an islanders card game which we played with other guests in the evenings. :)) On the first day we also have had a tour around the island to get our bearings and already explore a lot. Shai was teaching us about the plants and trees that cover the island. The food is freshly prepared and according to preferences. We loved curries that the owner's mother has prepared for us! You will have a chance to also try many types of fish. The patio of the property is lush with vibrant greenery and makes this property very unique.”

“- Very beautiful and comfortable rooms. Beautiful wooden furniture. Very clean! - Gorgeous garden. Extravagant, with sandy beach to really feel like in an oasis. - You feel like you are in a big family. - Extremely good value for money! - Shai is the best cook in town. I only ate out once. Shai cooks fresh food and the portions are really generous. - The excursions are very well organised. I would recommend them to anyone. You could literally touch the sharks. The boat driver is relaxed. Maximum 6 people on the boat at a time! No mass tourism! Very nice! The barbecue evening was phenomenal... we fished like the locals do. You can also book private tours for two people for only $100. For four people, that's $25 per person for ONE trip. - Secret beach is perfect for snorkeling. We found everyday Turtles and small Sharks! It was wonderful, thank you Aiman and Shai. And Mama and Papa!”

“Wonderful stay with a very welcoming local family.”

“Warm welcoming, comfortable a real home from home with amazing hosts”

“Corbin’s Guest House in Goidhoo is a cozy guesthouse with just 7 rooms, each featuring a unique authentic design. You feel like you’re staying with friends, not in a hotel. Hosts and Atmosphere Hosts Shay, Aymen, and their family welcomed us with music, fresh coconuts, and frangipani flower garlands, creating a warm island vibe right from arrival. They helped with everything—from excursions to little details, even offering their scooter to reach the beach and ready to bring food if we got hungry. The owner carves wooden figurines himself and is always ready to show them or lend a hand. There’s a small but cozy bar without alcohol for relaxed evenings. Island Tour The hosts organized a wonderful tour of the island itself, showing it with such love—including plant farms, goats, two lakes, and the beaches! Excursions Snorkeling on reefs with stingrays and big fish was unforgettable! Food Delicious breakfasts with fruits and dinners with fresh tuna and red snapper. I want to return to these hospitable hosts!”

“Maldives paradise”

“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.”
