Gastvrijheid voor een betaalbare prijs.
Pros:

De gastvrijheid van Onong was heel fijn. Hij heeft me twee dagen mee op pad genomen. Een prachtige omgeving!! En hij kan lekker koken.

Cons:

De kamers waren zeer basic. Prima echter voor het geld dat je betaalt.
Communicatie vooraf kan iets beter.

As is the case in most of Indonesia, the river adjacent to the Homestay was full of plastic.

Pros:

La flexibilidad de Onong, debido a que era temporada baja pudimos cambiar a una habitación con agua caliente y nos ofreció un buen precio.

A pesar de que el entorno era muy selvático y con el río justo pasando por el hotel, estaba todo limpio y no había mosquitos en la habitación.

Cons:

La cama era muy, muy incómoda.

Everything made with love - loved this place!
Pros:

This accommodation is made in such a lovely and mindful way! Everything is clean and looks amazing. The owner, Onong, was so nice and helpful. We wanted to do a tour and since the original driver was booked that day he took us around all day to the best places and to our preferences. We literally had the best day ever!

Cute bungalows but humid & noisy surroundings!
Pros:

Very cute bungalows, clean, food in the restaurant is delicious (be aware to warn if you’re not a fan of spicy food 🤭), banana pancakes for breakfast are delicious ! We rented a scooter for a day, it was very good !

Cons:

We had the bungalow on the pond / river. It is very noisy with the river. Being above the water also brings a lot of humidity. Our bags are very damp.
In addition to the noise of the river in the morning, we had to put up with the neighbouring church, which starts very early and makes a lot of noise. On top of that, the bed is very uncomfortable.

Pros:

Wonderful place to stay to explore Tomohon. Loved the cottages and the whole place - all built with such love. Very unique building. The restaurant was good - we both had the curry. The breakfast was simple but good and included tea and coffee. Onong was a great host and gave us helpful information to plan our stay and onward travel.

Cons:

The location was not close to the centre of town, but it was very easy to hail a Grab and most of the places to visit are outside of town anyway, so it was no issue at all!
