Situated in Pulau Mansuar in the West Papua region, Seahorse Homestay has a terrace and sea views.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay.

Breakfast is available, and includes American, Asian and vegan options. Staying at Seahorse Homestay was by far the best experience of our whole trip in Indonesia. It’s a family-run place made with heart, and you can truly feel it in every detail. Adin, Peni, and Eko made us feel at home from the very first moment — more like friends than hosts — always close, kind, and willing to make everything easy and trustworthy. With them, we organized the best boat trips, everything smooth and perfectly arranged. The food was excellent, tasty and with generous portions. The bathroom was clean and nicely decorated, and the room was simply idyllic, a perfect spot to rest and enjoy. On top of that, the snorkeling right in front of the homestay is amazing. We would definitely come back without hesitation. Thank you for giving us such a special experience! 💙🐠

Paparisa Homestay is located in Kri. Situated on the beachfront, this property has a private beach area, a garden and a terrace. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

Guests at Paparisa Homestay will be able to enjoy activities in and around Kri, like hiking. 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).

The homestay also provides guests with 1 bathroom. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. What an absolute GEM of a stay. Definitely our top stay in Raja Ampat. The family was so kind and the food delicious. We loved that there was only limit people (one other couple at the stay) even though we did not meet Donald he was a great communicator

Located in Besir in the West Papua region, Nyanse Homestay - Raja Ampat features a terrace.

The homestay offers bed linen, towels and laundry service.

Guests at the homestay can enjoy an Asian breakfast, and breakfast in the room is also available. There is a coffee shop, and packed lunches are also available. This homestay was the best ever, I would always put it in my list when coming back to RA, it feels like we have them as friends and family there! I don’t know where to start, apart from the absolutely stunning views on the oceanfront pier and balconies, especially during sunset and sunrise, I really have to highlight the food - it was always incredible, especially the veggies just wow. The breakfast and the deserts (fruit) was usually calculated with about 2 pieces per person if there were more people staying at the homestay, but that was fine since they also have an afternoon snack every day! Me and my partner are freedivers, so we were looking for spots between 3-20 meters with the main objectives to see mantas, sharks and turtels, and the family did its best with helping us planning the trips. All of the we did with the homestay and it was great, they always brought lunch and coffee and you could really see they enjoy being in the water and with the marine life as well. We went to Manta Sandy, Tangjung Putus, and Mansuar and all of them were great, yet in Mansuar there was loads of trash in the water (like generally around Kri and north of RA during rainy time) which is really a big downer and will hopefully change at some point. After having stayed also on Kri island, I know now that Nyanse Homestay is one of the cleanest places and their housereef is usually quite clean as well. Of course the corals there are not as great as the spots you go with a boat because they are also more exposed to sun and heat, but we saw a great amount of colorful and different fish as well as a turtle and 2 water snakes (watch out they are highly poisonous but they do not attack if you leave them alone, also some other divers told me they are so small so they could only potentially bite where the skin is very thin like the ears, so all good ;) ) Now the best thing - every single one of the family is such a warm soul. They even helped me prepare a surprise for my partner’s birthday

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. What an amazing location ! Absolutely stunning. Solo traveler, wanting to discover Raja Ampat, and I am so glad I discovered Gam Bay bungalows, from Pre Covid times. Secluded. Stunning Nature. Water at the edge of your door. The quiet was remarkable, to be able to sit back and listen to the birds, the sounds of Raja Ampat, and in particular, Gam. A paradise lost, and a Heaven found. Thank you Aaron, Family and Friends and puppies.
