Towels and bed linen are available in the guest house. The property offers sea views.

The breakfast offers buffet, vegetarian or vegan options. For visitors looking to embark on day trips to nearby landmarks, the guest house features a selection of packed lunches. Words can't describe how amazing the experience was. Paparisa is a brand new, small, private and secluded homestay with the nicest houses in Kri Island by far (compared to all the other homestays). The place has five "resort level" cosy houses with ensuite semi-open air bathroom (rare in Raja Ampat), big nice comfortable beds with mosquito net, a small private terrace in each house to relax or to watch the sunset and a small restaurant to enjoy your meals (they are building a nice sunset view big restaurant which they said will be ready by September 2025). They provide towels, toilet paper and linen so no need to bring yours. They have some toiletries but better bring some extra shampoo and shower gel for your convenience. Electricity is available almost half of the day and it is more than enough to charge anything in your room! The sea is just three meters from your door so you can easily swim whenever you want. This is also very convenient for diving or excursion's pickups as the boats pick you up straight from your door to go for diving or for a trip! Also, in walking distance you can snorkel in very amazing home reefs on your own. Paparisa rents for a small amount of money snorkeling equipment and these guys can also arrange several snorkeling trips to anywhere in the area. They also have contacts around so don't hesitate to ask them for anything you need! The communication before arrival through WhatsApp was exceptional and they have helped us a lot with our planning (the boat from Waisai to Kri arranged by them and a lot more). The food in the place is very tasty and feels like home and they are willing to cater any special dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan etc).

Facing the seafront in Besir, GAM BAY bungalow's features a private beach area and a garden. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house provides mountain views, an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk. This place is simply amazing… It is the best Homestay we’ve been to…. I will start with Aaron and his family who are the sweetest and nicer people we’ve met … it is such a special place to stay in Raja Ampat.. Mandee (the guide) is very funny and the best piano player and singer !! Papa Ella best driver who took us to see mantas in the Reef just in front of the house !!! The rooms are big and cute, very very clean and well decorated. You have a wardrobe to put your staff into. The view on the bay is stunning…. You can see fish, as well as baby sharks but also a lot of impressive birds (hornbills, cacatoes, …) The bathroom area is always clean and you have shower gel also ! The food is very tasty and fresh !! It’s always something different (we had various type of fish each day, vegetables, and much more) ! The little pancakes were our favorites for the 5pm snack ahah !! They also build up a view point to see the sunrise and a chill place for sunset on the other side of the bay >> best sunset ever in raja Ampat ! The trips we did with them were well organised and at the cheapest price in the whole area (arborek Jetty, citrus garden, bird of paradis, couscous, pyaniyamo) ! Thanks for everything guys…. We hope to see you again very soon…

At the guest house, the units have a wardrobe. There is a private bathroom with bidet in every unit, along with bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries. At the guest house, the units come with bed linen and towels. We spent over a week at Amoryg and had an unforgettable experience. What we loved the most: - The stunning, secluded location at the far end of Pulau Mansuar, offering a true escape from everyday life. - The incredible coral reefs just steps away from the lovely beach — perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts (sometimes stronger current but perfect for drifts) - The exceptionally kind and helpful staff, always ready to listen to any wishes or feedback and ensure a great stay. - Delicious food that catered to individual preferences, including vegetarian options, which was a real plus. - The fantastic diving experience with Vandy, an experienced, knowledgeable, and attentive dive guide, and his great team. - It was inspiring to see a place like this owned and managed by locals, creating a unique and authentic atmosphere. This is an ideal spot for travelers looking for a family-like, locally-run experience. Flexibility and understanding are key, as local conditions such as weather, fuel supplies, or occasional generator issues can arise. It's also important to note that the desalination plant might not fully meet water demands at all times, but rainwater is available upon request. For us, this was the perfect getaway, and we would absolutely love to return one day. Highly recommended!

With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, units at the guest house also boast free WiFi, while certain rooms have a balcony. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. This was my 2nd stay with Adel at Rumah Marianne and I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. She's the best! Last year, my cell phone hadn't been working for some time in my travels through Raja Ampat when I arrived back in Sorong. I was frantic and she immediately took me to a nearby phone repair shop who determined, with her language translation help, that I just needed a new charger. I was so thankful then for her assistance. This stay she arranged a taxi pickup for me at the ferry from Waisai with photos of the driver and his car's location to avoid the usual mayhem at the dock. The price was the usual fare and the taxi driver arranged to take me to the airport the next morning. Adel truly cares about her guests' comfort. She is in the process of adding a restaurant which will be a welcome addition. She has a convenient kitchen as well which is available for guest use. Thanks again, Adel, for making me feel at home away from home! Looking forward to my next visit...

Situated on the beachfront in Waisai, Coco Huts Guest House has a private beach area. The property features sea and mountain views. The guest house has a steam room, sun terrace and outdoor fireplace, and guests can grab a bite to eat in the restaurant. We had a really special time at the Coco Huts homestay. The family put a lot of heart and effort into making our stay a great experience. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. Delicious and varied food, clean bathroom facilities (water containers were constantly replenished), great ocean view from the bungalow. The host took us on a number of trips, including a trip to Wayag, which were really well-organized, and we felt super safe on the boat as well as snorkeling with a local guide (the reefs in the area are amazing). The transfer back to Waisai was well-organized as well. If you’re looking for a quiet get-away from the more crowded areas like Piaynemo, this is definitely a good choice.

Offering sea views, Amfriwen Homestay in Yennanas Besir offers accommodation, a private beach area and a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The guest house features family rooms. I booked 8 days here. I went diving for three days on the Pulau Gam and snorkeled daily on Friwen. They are about a 10 mins boat ride. The Homestay is rustic. There are two beds covered with mosquito net. They are totally fine but somehow one would get in every night. It’s an island at the equator, there are mosquitoes. Also geckos! That’s part of the adventure. The room has an interior slide lock and there’s a clipping lock with a key for locking when you’re away. Honestly I never locked my place. The island seems very safe. Kids playing, most of the folks on the island are involved in tourism, though they don’t speak much English. It wasn’t an issue. I traveled solo and spent most afternoons in the hammock, reading, writing or napping. The food was amazing, delicious, the cook is very sweet and calls you to breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fresh fish is caught daily. Vegetables and rice, very delicious and all included. Large quantities. Box lunches are available if you are diving all day. Bananas are snacks. Unlimited instant coffee, tea, hot water. The island is stunning. Sunsets amazing. The reef has more life to see while snorkeling than most places (Europe, Caribbean, US, Latin America) have to see while scuba diving! I saw turtles, squid, dolphins playing, reef sharks and millions of coral. A not about cash and other fees: you will need ~140,000 to take a ferry from Sorong to Waisai. Then you’ll need 600,000 to ride each way from Waisai to Friwen (this can be divided with others, provided there are other riders.). On Waisai, you’ll have to buy a Marine Park pass and an entry pass, in total 1,000,000. So you’ll need around 2,250,000 in cash (be prepared bc the pass can be purchased online, or card but sometimes their system is down and you have to pay cash). In Sorong airport there are four ATMs, most of them don’t work well. There are ATMs on Waisai but you have to ride a motorcycle to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
