We end it in staying 2 weeks a terimakashi homestay. The new bungalows are so beautiful, and I was really surprised how comfortable the beds and the pillows are. The staff is pretty new but they are lovely and try to help u as much as they can.

Wai resort is a little paradise, with comfortable beach-view bungalows just few meters from the coral reef. The staff is amazing, starting from Sidi who helped in every occasion and took great care of us. The menu is Italian based which is a plus, but also local dishes are available and all the kitchen staff is superb. I strongly recommend the resort also for divers and snorkels, best coral reef ever.

It was the closest we have ever been to paradise. Andy and Esni are two amazing owners who make sure your stay is perfect how you like it. Their new dive shop is very professional and Roy and Julio are amazing dive guides. The breakfast containing eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes and fruits is super high in Raja Ampat standards. The other meals are also super fresh and tasty, and in 6nights we never ate the same. The rooms are idyllic and it is so peaceful over there. The dogs are super kind and joined us on our hikes to Sawandarek and Yenbuba. We were sad to leave, would love to come back one day!

You know how people only ever write a review when an experience was either truly bad or exceptionally good. Well, this review will be an exceptionally good one. It was our first time in Raja Ampat, let alone Indonesia. Eddo Homestay was our first accommodation and we had low expectations from what we generally read about accommodations in Raja Ampat and because it was a newly built place with few reviews. However, our expectations were exceeded. The first thing I wanna highlight is the hospitality, kindness and service of all the staff there. I especially want to mention Acho, the guy who manages the Homestay and took care of anything we needed. The first two days we were the only two guests at the Homestay and had the best experiences. Acho personally went snorkeling with us at Yenbuba Jetty, took us to a Sandbank, to Sauwandarek Village and Arborek. He was pretty much our personal guide and we enjoyed every single minute of it. He went above and beyond to fulfill all our "wishes" / requests, no matter what it was about (excursions, food, more data for our sim card, etc.). He would also always sit with us for every meal, talk to us, share about life in Indonesia. It was like hanging out with your older brother. They also tried their best to offer a variety of different foods each day. For breakfast we had toast, fried eggs, pancakes, Nutella, jam, cheese and one day (upon our request) even Avocado. For lunch and dinner it's mostly rice but always with either fish, meat, vegetables, salad, etc. And always delicious. Our highlight were the chocolate chip cornflakes with cold fresh milk though. The cabins were very spacious with a double bed and mosquito net, a couch, a little closet area with hangers and a fan. The bathroom was huuuge and beautifully designed. Each cabin has a terrace with two lounge chairs where we mostly hung out. We had everything we needed. The entire place was very clean, the cabins, the restaurant, everything.

Staff is nice, they try to do what you ask them for (eg less oily food) The porch of the dining area is nice place to chill, gets some wind and great views Divers the next hkuse east are great

What a wonderful homestay in a stunning location. Julia,her family and staff were fabulous hosts always very friendly even though we had a language barrier. They provided a superb escape to relax and unwind. We stayed for 8 nights which to some may seem too long but there was plenty to do with the day trips on offer all of which were far cheaper than resort prices. We hired kayaks for a day, visited the local village as well as enjoying plenty of snorkeling trips. Visited Tanjung putus channel twice, Friwen, Arborek Island, Manta trip, Gam bay jellyfish and bat cave. All trips were well organised with lunch provided as needed. Travel was by long boat, great fun with Andre and Billy. The homestay is clean and well maintained with plenty of water for drinking and washing. The food was terrific, Julia and her sister are very good cooks. The meals were varied and tasty. We loved the fresh fish, chicken, omelettes and the variety of fresh vegetable dishes. The fresh fruit, banana fritters, pancakes, small cakes and donuts were v good too. Meal times were breakfast at 7, lunch at midday, snack at 4 then dinner at 7. Our only difficulty was that our eSIM provider didn’t work there (some guests had 4G). This meant we couldn’t use google translate so sometimes communication was tricky. We learned to trust their organisation and go with the flow as they were always out to give us the best time. We give this homestay 10 out of 10. It’s a wonderful way to get the genuine homestay experience with lovely locals.

We stayed at Panorama guesthouse for a week during low season and it has been amazing. James and his family always went an extra mile to make us feel at home and to help us with moving around Batanta and organising our trip in a fast and reliable way(including picking us up from Waisai and taking us to Sorong). We felt welcomed and taken care of.  The house is basic, but fully new and spacious, they cleaned it every three days, they changed bed sheets, mosquito net is new, comfortable bed, there is everything you need.  The food was always freshly cooked, tasty and abundant. We always had veggies raw and cooked, rice, noodles, fresh fish/tempeh and tofu and fruit. They gave us fruit and little cakes as snacks, coffee and tea are always available. Breakfast was also good and satisfying.  The private beach is just heaven, quiet and relaxing. There is a great coral reef right in front of the house, we saw many fishes and a baby shark. You can see sunset and sunrise directly from the house.  You can visit the small village next to the house, 5 mins by walk. There is a diving center (gears top notch) 20 mins far by boat where we had a great night dive.  We would definitely recommend this place to everyone that wants to live a local experience in a edenic place very off the beaten track.  It's a place and a holiday we'll never forget.  Thank you James and family for the lovely stay! 

Our 3 nights stay at Mares Homestay was absolutely wonderful! The level of cleanliness was exceptional — everything spotless and perfectly maintained. The family was a dream of hospitality, and their children were truly a gift to be around. The place itself is not only beautiful but also very well equipped, and the food was incredibly good — every meal felt homemade with care. Towels and bed sheets were very good quality, and we appreciated the mosquito nets for extra comfort. We truly cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you!

Wow what a wonderful place! Rachid (Dutch owner) has worked so hard to make this slice of paradise be an image of imagination. Beautiful water bungalows with a private bathroom built on an isolate beautiful turquoise sea. At the time of staying, there were only three water bungalows, which meant our stay felt personal with our neighbour and the owner. From your bungalow you can immediately go snorkelling and have a swim with the local fish 😄 we had a grand time staying 4 nights and exploring our local area. The interior of the water bungalows are also very pretty! Rattan based and artistically by local craftsman Felt very modern eco- solar panels, septic tanks
