Travellers on a budget looking to experience a place like a local will enjoy homestays. This simple accommodation is in a private home, where the host also lives. All facilities are shared and in most cases breakfast is included.
We had a warm welcome by the children, family members and Fadjar. The advantage of staying in a Homestay is that we met inhabitants, locals people sharing interesting knowledge. The wifi connection is good. The breakfast was good. The Homestay is at walking distance to restaurant to Rosemah Marly restaurant.
The homestay has the really good location, and Harry is very helpful (motorbike renting, informations, taxi, touristic tours...)
Basic room but pretty good value for gorontalo
I recommend highly
I had a wonderful short but very comfortable stay! Mimin and Harry along with the rest of the Homestay are exceptionally kind and extremely helpful people, who will get out of their way to make sure the guests are looked after. Mimin is the expert trip organiser to arrange all transfers, tours, ferry and boat tickets for you. Absolutely wonderful. The Homestay is basic and comfortable and the atmosphere is great. I will see you very soon.
Mimin and her family were very friendly and helpful, in arranging airport pick-up and transfer, organising food and beverages and helping out with tipps on attractions around the homestay.
I definitely recommend this place to other travelers and love to come back one day with more time.
Exceptional homestay! Harry and Mimin were so welcoming and lovely to us. Very helpful with organizing transportation and everything else. Harry even picked us up from the ferry port in Gorontalo. We also booked the Whaleshark tour and the cooking class with them and can highly recommend both. They really make you feel like family. Would definitely stay there again!
We stayed a few nights at the homestay and enjoyed our stay and company of Harry, Mimin, their family and friends a lot. It fehlt so good to be with them. their humanity and way of Taking care of guests is exceptional. Harry woke us up for whaleshark observation, helped us with trabsportation to and from Gorontalo and we were taken to some local festivities. The rooms were well equipped and included a Fan and a moscito net. the bathroom was clean - we had everything we needed.
We stayed only one night but it was perfect. The room is very simple but harry and his family was very welcoming with us and it was easy to share with them. He suggest us to go to swim with whales shark the next day and it was an incredible experience. The location of the homestay is nice and close to very good restaurant (a little one and a big one, both delicious). The neighborhood is peaceful so you can rest easily.
