4 days in Kri Island.
Pros:

Very basic bungalows but wow what a place, we really enjoyed our stay.
Super location, terrace over the water, great views. Deliscious local meals. Kind people there, fair prices (for Raya Ampat) on tours and transfer to other islands.

Good location, very basic stay
Pros:

Great location on Kri Island. Snorkeling right in the front! You can snorkel till you drop. See sharks from the pier. Famous Cape Kri snorkeling/diving spot short boat ride away. As are other great area's like Sawandarek, Aborek, etc. Great location from where to see these places. Food was basic. 3 times a day. Included. The room is very basic. There are rats. There is a shared bathroom which is basic. There is only limited electricity. No shops. Bring loads of cash for your transportation and trips. They sell beer.
Amazing view.

Cons:

There is no lock on the door. They could have given a box for your food (rats)

Nice place!
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at Frida’s Homestay. It is located in a wonderful part of the island, peaceful with a beautiful view of the horizon. You can jump straight into the ocean directly from your bungalow. It’s simple, but very nice.

Cons:

The island has a problem with rats, so don’t leave any food exposed if you don’t want unwanted visitors. This is not a specific problem with the homestay, but something that affects the whole island

Pros:

Très mauvais accueil, nourriture vraiment déplorable.

Cons:

Infesté de rats. Ils nous ont rongé nos sacs de voyage. C’est un établissement à retirer de votre carnet d’adresses.

Sympa
Pros:

Logement confortable, proche des clubs de plongée. La zone est animée avec de nombreux touristes, de quoi faire des rencontres. Le snorkeling est super, un dauphin est venu près des bungalows !

Cons:

Les prix des excursions sont chers je trouve. Le repas proposé n'est pas le meilleur parmi les auberges que j'ai fait a raja.
Ce n'est pas le meilleur endroit pour les couchés de soleil.

Pros:

Tres bien placé, belle plage, beau snorkeling . La chambre est grande et confortable avec un beau balcon bien aménagé. Le personnel est tres accueillant et aux petits soins en cas de besoin. Club de plongée sur site au GIBRAN. Materiel neuf et tres PRO. Merci a vous

Cons:

Dommage que la table pour manger était trop haute. De plus il serait bien de mettre des chaises a la place des bancs car pas agréable et mal de dos tous les jours

Transport to Kir costs more than the homestay! Location is beautiful, staff were not very helpful.
Pros:

The location is incredible. Sleeping over the water is a lovely experience and there were so many little fish! There were no mosquitoes and lots of stars.

Cons:

I was unable to reach the homestay to arrange transport on the day of my stay, even though I messaged them on Whatsapp, SMS Text, and through booking.com's email. I had to arrange my own transport there which was stressful and confusing. They also did not have a boat to take me back to Waisai at the time I requested. It was more than one hour late. The transport costs more than the hotel! 800,000 rupiah each way. So keep that in mind.
