The place is just amazing. Wonderful island, the best food I’ve tried in Indonesia and very friendly staff. Coming from a homestay in Kri island this felt like paradise

Terimakasih Homestay was a true paradise and I could not recommend it more for your holidays in Raja Ampat. The corals in front of the jetty are exceptional, we have seen turtles and hundreds of fishes 🐠 They organised perfect activities for us. The food was also very diverse and delicious. The room was nice, cleaned every day, and the staff was very nice, service oriented and helpful. Thank you for this incredible stay 🙏🏻

Staff, location, facilities all were excellent. Food is fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend. Staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and organise any activities you want. Lodge itself is beautiful with great design and views. Coral reef just outside rooms is amazing for snorkeling. Amazing place to stay in Raja Ampat

Great place. The food was good (maybe not so vegan friendly in case you are vegan, we are not), and the staff was friendly. Great common area. Diving in their dive center is also a must. Will (dive master) takes out small groups and adapts to weather, conditions and experience of the divers. We had our own toilet and bathroom and all is great considering you are quite far from everything. Higly recommend

Very clean, we had very nice and spacious bungalowes with private bathroom and toilet. The food was very delicious.Also lot of vegetables whoch was great because i dont eeat meat. We had also fish snd squids. Everything was very tasty. The location is absolutely amazing. Very nice and clean beach, total quiet, real peace. The staff was very nice and funny. The communication was good. They took us to Wai island where we saw lot of animals like fruit bats, coconut crab, monitor lizard, cuscus. Then we had a manta snorkelling and we found one big manta. They also brought snacks and water and coffee for us at every trip and even cut coconuts from the tree when we were on some random little island. Loved this stay and I would go back here!!

Great rustic experience with fab staff

We had an amazing time in Frances Homestay! Food was great, lots of it actually🙂 Frances is so helpful and friendl alongside the rest of the people on the island. We went snorkelling everyday, our guide was knowledgeable and made us feel secure. The bugalow is so big compared to other ones in Raja Ampat, you will have the best view from your terrace, sunset is absolutely amazing. The reef is also fascinating around the house.

So amazing here, we were watching little sharks and beautiful fish right under our hut, the staff were so kind and lovely, the children were great, they were catching fish along our walkway, they always said hello, gave us high-fives and fist bumps , I got given a nautilus shell by the family, so good here

Waisai pickup was ontime and they were able to answer my questions by WhatsApp before our stay. Homestay itself  is professionaly run by Tina ( she speaks little English) and Ronald (he speaks English). Each hut has own bathroom with proper shower and western toilet, mirror as well. There is only cold water but during sunny day it can become hot - good for shaving. Huts are spacious plus you have veranda with hammock, 2 chairs and table. Tina prepares nice 3 meals per day switching between sweet breakfast of different kind and fish or chicken for dinner and lunch. Tina clean all area regularly even all rubbish hight tide brings, so whole area looks nice. Rised beds are ok, good quality mosquito net is there too. But in February here was only few mosquitos. No rats or mouses during our stay. Best coral just infront of bungalow - you can either access it from nearby jetty Yenkoranu (there are steps to see level) and swim back abive coral reef 400m towards homestay or you can directly swim about 50m to reef edge from homestay. Entire northern Kri reef is wonderful, by my openion much better than Yenbuba jetty and Sauwandarek jetty area, these are overrated. Good water, tea, coffee and condensed sweet milk provided. Just next homestay starts short 1km hike to viewpoint. Path is clearly marked by red dots. Starting the same path and turning right once uphill will lead you during high tide close to small Ransiwor island and from there you can easily swim to Yenbuba jetty (or walk during low tide) - during low tide you can walk entire path around beach to Yenbuba...  Please mind this is not resort, huts are simple but new. No towels provided and you have to ask for bed linen if you want to cover yourself. Sheets are ok. Toilet paper provided. Book your trip in advance if you want to go somewhere as some days nobody is present during day you can talk to about trip. 

Great location.Great host. He also took us and other friends from another homestay to amazing snorkelling sites.
