Cheap hotels in Kri

The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly. The boat tours were fun and well organised. It was also super iydillic with houses on the water and baby sharks and rays swimming beneath you.

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.

Such a beautiful location with everything you need. The food was delicious and the family hosts are so kind and helpful. It is a simple homestay, bucket shower for example, but we really enjoyed the relaxing vibe there.

Clean, cozy and comfortable bungalows, excellent food, great hospitality, fantastic house reef!

Literally everything!!! Views here are amazing! 24h electricity, tasty food, comfortable bungalows, sounds from jungle. Just few steps and you can jump in water. Never been in a such amazing place!

We had the best time at Friwen Mangrove Eco Lodge! Rachid was a perfect host and very organised. We also can recommend the day tours with Rachid. The meals were also very delicious and varied every day. We will definitely come back to this little paradise!

Probably the best bungalows in Raja Ampat , spacious room with a large deck over the water . Frances organizes boat trips to where ever you want to go with a packed lunch .Really good food , congratulations to the cook!!. We saw lionfish , sea snakes , dolfins and reef sharks from the deck . The house reef isn’t bad either . Electricity until dawn .

Amazing place and amazing people :)

The location is superb, you have an entire island to yourself. The beach and the water are gorgeous. Also the price- quality is super good for the area, very affordable, the resort is in between homestays and ultra expensive resorts. Also, kayaks and SUP are included, as well as coffee/ tea/water. And for the food you can ask double portion free of charge.

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.
