Staff was super helpful. The private beach and the jetty are the best. Just snorkeling at the jetty is top notch.
Standard Rooms are quite good and have AC and private bathroom with shower.
The boat is one of the best around the island. Big and safe.
Starlink wi-fi 24h. The dining room is a very nice place to be and relax.
Food variety, quality and quantity was the best we had in Raja Ampat. We didn't dive but did a snorkel tour with them

This was our first homestay, so we had not experienced this type of accommodation. We are older and independent travelers. It was very simple but adequate. The bungalow was waterfront and the construction was of natural materials. The bed was off the floor. The food was good and varied. All meals had a vegetable/fruit/protein/starch. The grilled fish was amazing. Water is provided in your room. Nelly did a load of wash and used the soap I provided as requested. It turned out great! It has a tankless toilet as is the custom in many places here. We got a little glimpse into village life. The house reef was really great, with little current. Access to great snorkel sites is easy. There is a gentleman who sells beer and snacks by the dive shop which was a nice addition to this simple operation. Will, the dive master, speaks great english. He would arrange for snorkel/dive trips with local boatmen. He made sure that the requested snorkel site was safe from current action. Once you requested a dive site, he put it on the whiteboard and others could join in if desired by both parties. Then the cost of the boat was split amongst the individuals. Good value. We didn't request a guide so not sure if that is an option. We had a raging storm and were snug and dry. They staff picks up soiled waste baskets if you put them on the from porch. They will refill your water jug this way as well. Electricity is on from 7pm-midnight and the fan worked well then. As per advise from trip advisor forum, we brought a little 4 inch fan and attached it to our battery pack, put it on the foot of the bed and were quite comfortable. Towels are provided. There was help with our luggage which was much appreciated. They picked us up from our previous lodging by boat. They were on time and the communication regarding this was very good.

I loved the place! That reef that you see in the picture has the most amazing corals and sea life. It's perfect for snorkeling or just swimming. Paulus is a wonderful host, very proud of the beauty of the islands where he lives, and he will take you on an amazing trip to enjoy this paradise. He's very into nudibranches and little ocean creatures. He has few books about the ocean life in the dining room to enjoy. Regarding the bungalows, they are comfortable, with their own bathroom and a table to prepare your morning tea or coffee. They will bring you the rest of your breakfast. Lunch and dinner are really good! The atmosphere amongst the people who stay in the bungalows is nice and friendly. We all shared great times together, even though we met for one or 2 days. And the highlight of the accommodation is Paula, the cure cuscus who loves bananas. I'm so happy about choose this place to stay. I'll be happy to come back in the future!

The location is very beautiful. Beautiful landscapes, it's a shame that it's starting to become a tourist location. Plastic started appearing everywhere, in the water and on the ground. The locals are only interested in money, they do nothing against plastic pollution. Upon entering the area, you are charged a fee used for the maintenance and development of the area, but I personally have not seen anything in this regard. The prices of products and transport are very high compared to other areas, being justified by the high price of fuel. In my opinion, this fuel price is not as high as the locals claim, being the only reason for the excessively high prices and the desire for profit. The area and location are very beautiful, being places dedicated to nature lovers and especially those passionate about diving and snorkling.

Pulau Mansuar is a somewhat remote island in Raja Ampat (but there are much more remote islenads there), with m,ost of the accmmodations accessible from the beach only with a speedboat - which gives one of the charms of it. The other one is the stunning reef all around the island. Sawaranek is supposed the best, but to tell the trurt, all other places we visited were similar. The Manta point neart to Mansuar should not be missed = but make sure you buy in adnvanve (in Waisai) the - otherwise obligatpry - entry PIN for that.

Best Raja Ampat Homestay is a very simple accommodation by our standards, reasonably clean but you have to make certain compromises. We were there for scuba diving and this was really outstanding. Noldy is a very good divemaster and we dived all the well known spots, but also other not so well-known but no less beautiful dive sites. After 40 years of diving I would like to say that Raja Ampat is the end of a long journey. Unfortunately, there are no planned restrictions on tourism, so we can only hope that this region will be spared development like Egypt.
