What an amazing experience! The snorkeling around the coral reefs from the village entrance to the island's end was
Pros:

The power supply throughout the night is great, and the boats and prices are pretty good for going out to sea.Top-tier coral along the coast.

Cons:

The food is really basic and needs improvement. Every meal is just fried noodles with boiled eggs - I can't stand it.

Pros:

Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen. Die Unterkunft wird von einer sehr herzlichen und großen Familie geführt, die sich trotz fehlender Englischkenntnisse große Mühe gibt, alle Wünsche zu erfüllen. Die Kommunikation funktioniert problemlos mithilfe eins Übersetzers. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das sehr leckere und abwechslungsreiche Essen. Die Anlage hat nur wenige Bungalows, wodurch eine sehr ruhige und private Atmosphäre entsteht – wir hatten das Gefühl, den Ort ganz für uns allein zu haben. Auch die abgeschiedene Lage macht den Aufenthalt besonders und ideal für alle, die Ruhe suchen.

Pros:

Review after staying at 6 different locations in Raja Ampat. Beautiful homestay and perfect location. The house reef is the best I've seen in RA. Food very good and a very good vibe. Would definitely stay again...

Pros:

We stayed at Fam Homestay and it was a wonderful experience. Here you really feel like you are staying with a real local family. They are very kind, welcoming, and make you feel at home.

The beach here is incredibly beautiful. There are bungalows over the water, a lovely shoreline with a reef, and a pier where you can swim and jump into the ocean.

The food was very delicious and always freshly prepared.

We also highly recommend taking excursions from here. We joined the manta trip and were lucky to see around 10 manta rays, which was an unforgettable experience. We also visited Piaynemo, which was absolutely stunning.

Overall, it was a very special stay in a beautiful place.

Traumhaftes Paradies mit netten Gastgebern
Pros:

Wir hatten einen unglaublich besonderen und tollen Aufenthalt! Alle dort sind unglaublich lieb, hilfsbereit und herzlich, wir haben uns fast wie ein Teil der Familie gefühlt! Der Ausblick und das Riff sind wunderschön, wir haben alles mögliche an Meerestieren gesehen, auch Mantas und Babyhaie direkt vor der Terrasse! Das Essen war grandios und sehr abwechslungsreich und es hat immer gut ausgereicht! Wir konnten super schlafen, die Hütten sind süß und die Hängematte war auch Mega. Die Kinder dort sind super süß und lustig und alles war perfekt! Wir sind sogar noch eine Nacht länger geblieben und haben unseren Flug storniert weil wir unbedingt länger bleiben wollten! Einfach ein Traum!

Cons:

War alles gut!

Nice family homestay
Pros:

Special location, great house reef ! Thanks especially to Amandus :-)
Food (especially fish) very good.
Tailor-made tours. We asked for example for seeing coconut crabs and they made it possible.

Cons:

Breakfast good but for Europeans maybe a bit small choice.

Joli homestay
Pros:

Le bungalow confortable avec un lit à baldaquin, de quoi suspendre les habits. L'emplacement, la vue sur la mer, un peu de snorkeling en partant devant l'homestay.

Cons:

On a trouvé que les repas étaient assez frugal, assez redondant et peu copieux. Mais on a eu droit à de bonnes crêpes !
Peu de fruits mais c'est un peu le problème partout dans les Raja Ampat.
Et attention à la fiabilité des engagements pour le pick-up. Il faut être vigilant et ne pas lâcher l'affaire pour être sûr d'être pris en charge.

Very nice homestay!
Pros:

This place is very nice, hosted by Armandus. He was always very helpful and kind. De food was amazing and they have a board with all information. The reef in front of the homestay is amazing.

The hut next to the restaurant wasnt the best, but the huts with your own bathroom is very nice and comfortabel. Thank you Amandus and everyone else at Fam!

Ps. The kitten was an extra lovely surprise ;)

Un séjour très agréable
Pros:

L’emplacement est top ! Un récif corallien incroyable au pied des bungalows, une eau claire, des poissons…
Les lits sont confortables et la vue incroyable !
Le patron est toujours disponible pour discuter et prévoir les excursions, le personnel est sympathique si vous prenez le temps de discuter avec eux.
Les repas sont assez bons et les quantités suffisantes. Nous sommes tombés sur des personnes qui se servent à outrance juste avant nous mais le personnel veillait toujours à ce que ayons assez à manger.

Cons:

Les rats…jusque dans notre lit (et nous ne sommes pas les seuls) ! Le patron a placé du poison lors de notre dernière nuit mais il faudra qu’il s’y tienne régulièrement s’il veut que le problème soit résolu.
Les WC étaient extrêmement sales dans notre bungalow (salle de bain privative). Je les ai nettoyé moi même.
