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.

I loved it here. My favourite place in Raja. Amazing beach and great snorkelling right in front of the bungalow. When the tide is high you can just jump in. Even though Kri is the most touristy island, it's quiet here because it's the furthest away homestay in the area. So at night you can only hear the waves breaking in front of or underneath your bungalow, and sure, the occasional gecko laughing or dog barking, but otherwise it is peaceful here. As for the accommodation, it was basic but I had everything I needed. The food was delicious. Best I had in Raja. Fish, chicken, eggs, sauces, lots of vegetables, green pancakes with peanut butter, banana cake and bread, fried banana, papaya, watermelon... and coffee, tea and instant chocolate. All in all, I really enjoyed being there. After just a few days it felt like home. So after 5 days, it was hard to leave this amazing homestay.

Beautiful location. Everybody is so kind and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay here. The view is breathtaking 😍 I stayed for a week and was sad when I had to leave. I enjoyed the dives with divemaster Abang. The food was delicious. Bucket showers and back to basics, I really loved the entire experience so much! Thank you Herman, Nani, Abang and the rest of the staff for such an amazing stay on Kri Iskand! 🙏🥰

Every thing is more than our expectations from the time they picked us up from the port in Waisai. Mario is superb, he was always friendly and willing to help, he organised a ferry to send us to another homestay next to his free of charge and asked us to have the lunch before we left. As for foods, I think the foods they provided were good and delicious. The staff were very friendly too. We liked our room, the bed was wide and comfortable. House reef is one of the best, I wish that we should planed to stay longer.

This is by far the best accomodation we've been in the area. Resort style facilities without the high resort price tag or crowd. It's more expensive than a homestay but the price difference is definitely worth it if you want comfort or a beautiful accomodation. We stayed in the overwater villa and it was great, very clean, wifi, electricity, felt just like being in a 4 star hotel. Staff is very friendly, excursions great and they are very helpful with anything that you need. Reef is amazing (lots of fish, turtles, moray and occasional black tips and white tips), overall a 10 out of 10 experience.

Heaven on earth. The rooms are exquisite, new and very well equipped. Just overall, unbelievable. Waking up here recharged our batteries. The host, Rachid is friendly, helpful and extremely passionate about what he does. He is an inspiration! Wonderful guy. Thank you again for this unforgettable stay. See you next time.

Super remote location with small local village near by, with all those super great noises - children playing, dogs barking and roosters crowing. Direct access to the reef with beautiful underwater world and lot of fishes. Room was big and also the big size bed with mosquito net. Host organized the trip to other islands and snorkeling spots, also the transfer to ferry.

Amazing place and amazing people :)

Incredible place. Everything was great!

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.
