Cheap hotels in Kri

I was surrounded by real nature. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Every day available trips.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The food was excellent and plenty. There is a house reef right out front for snorkelling. We saw turtles, black tip reef sharks and many species of fish. The owner Lisias speaks some English and is a good communicator through Whatsapp. It was easy to organise excursions and Lisias and his family were very accomodating and made our stay comfortable. Lisias went out of his way to find manta rays for us when other dive boats had given up. If you're looking for a relaxing, cultural experience we highly recommend this homestay.

Herman and his family are wonderful people. They took care of us like we were their family. The lady cooked for us and her pancakes were famous. Everything we wanted to see, Herman took us there. We felt safe with them.

Top-notch Homestay. Very clean and comfortable with a good variety of food. There are two dive shops next door so it was easy to arrange diving. Cold beer often available. Possible to hike to the south side of the island (best at low tide) and all the way to Yenbuba. We had a wonderful time, all the best to Paul and crew!

The food was fantastic and tasty

Rachid and his staff were lovely and welcoming. The location, the views and the tours that we did were all absolutely fantastic. Not to mention the amazing local food we were served throughout our stay!!! We generally like to visit somewhere different each time we travel, but this is a place that we will return to.

We had a wonderful stay at Frances, what a exklusive and luxurios place. Just 2 wonderful and huge huts in great design, right on top of the reef and in the middle of wonderful original Kurkapa Village. Very friendly staff, excellent food (delivered by the kids of the family right to our huge terrace). What more can you ask for - an island paradise, with a wonderful house reef right in front of the hut. Lots of fishes and sharks living there. Hopefully we´ll be back soon! Katrin & Markus

The homestay is really nice! It’s by the beach and you have lots of corals just in front. The food is excellent :) The family is very welcoming and nice I highly recommend :)

Lovely island. Fantastic food and restaurant.

Hosted by Mama Julia and Kk Mothy, we had an incredible experience at shady homestay for two days. Arrived on Tuesday afternoon, Julia and Mothy picked us up at Waisai. Storm was raging but they prepared everything so our big bags were not wet. Even though waves were very high, Timothy mastered ocean and found our way through the waves. We were then welcomed by the rest of the family with a delicious tea time and snorkeled in front of the homestay, lost in the small satellite islands around Gam island. The place is peaceful, quiet, and extremely beautiful in the middle of nowhere in the Raja Ampat : a Lunar experience. On Wednesday, Timothy and Julia organized us a fabulous daytrip around Gam Island between Sawingrai village, light water, labyrinth mangroves, magical reefs, caves, view points, snorkelings, painted hands geopark famous site, hidden bays, beach walk, coconut… everything was perfect and made very friendly and warm welcoming by Julia, and very fun with Timothy’s talents to drive the boat as a sports car driver in tight ways and hard turnovers ! We left on Thursday after another little trip with Timothy for a batcave and snorkeling morning. We saw everything with them : lots of reef fishes and bigger fishes, manta, dolphins, blacktop sharks, turtles … and even the rarest and endemic Wobbegong shark. What made the experience different and fantastic is the kindness of this whole family working together and making everything seem effortless and great even though it could be hard work for them. Shady Homestay is THE PLACE TO BE for visiting Gam island with the fun experience on board with Timothy and the warm welcome and comfort of the delicious food provided by Julia and their family. THANK YOU SO MUCH. We will definitely come back.
