Homestays in Tapokreng

Value for money homestay perfect for divers. Located just outside the centre of Waisai, with a rental scooter you can quickly reach your chosen dive centre and local restaurants etc. Wawan the owner is efficient and friendly, so if you don’t ride a bike, he will sort your transportation for a good price. Breakfast is fine (omelette, toast, fruit), served by Cino who cleans the rooms etc, and is usually on hand to deal with any problems you might have.

We enjoyed our stay at Amfriwen. The bungalow was clean, had a fan, a mosquito net and a little shelf space. The veranda and the view were amazing. The bathroom was outside and for us one of the better facilities during our stay in Raja ampat. The food was very simple but always enough. We enjoyed our stay and say thank you to the lovely family.

This homestay is just stunning!! Close to a village (you can walk there) but the location of the homestay feels remote and private. The family is kind and the food was the best we had in Raja Ampat. Great snorkeling just outside the homestay. We saw reef sharks everyday and the corals are beautiful. No strong currents! The sandbottom outside the bungalow is so nice, you can take a swim without worrying about stepping on something sharp. Like many homestays in Raja Ampat its very simple. The bungalow has one bed, one bench for storing luggage, some simple outside furniture, a line for drying clothes and a simple outside shower for rinsing after swimming. A Dive center is close by and the family can take you on snorkeling trips. We loved this homestay and would definitaly stay here again!

Staff, location, facilities all were excellent. Food is fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend. Staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and organise any activities you want. Lodge itself is beautiful with great design and views. Coral reef just outside rooms is amazing for snorkeling. Amazing place to stay in Raja Ampat

You know how people only ever write a review when an experience was either truly bad or exceptionally good. Well, this review will be an exceptionally good one. It was our first time in Raja Ampat, let alone Indonesia. Eddo Homestay was our first accommodation and we had low expectations from what we generally read about accommodations in Raja Ampat and because it was a newly built place with few reviews. However, our expectations were exceeded. The first thing I wanna highlight is the hospitality, kindness and service of all the staff there. I especially want to mention Acho, the guy who manages the Homestay and took care of anything we needed. The first two days we were the only two guests at the Homestay and had the best experiences. Acho personally went snorkeling with us at Yenbuba Jetty, took us to a Sandbank, to Sauwandarek Village and Arborek. He was pretty much our personal guide and we enjoyed every single minute of it. He went above and beyond to fulfill all our "wishes" / requests, no matter what it was about (excursions, food, more data for our sim card, etc.). He would also always sit with us for every meal, talk to us, share about life in Indonesia. It was like hanging out with your older brother. They also tried their best to offer a variety of different foods each day. For breakfast we had toast, fried eggs, pancakes, Nutella, jam, cheese and one day (upon our request) even Avocado. For lunch and dinner it's mostly rice but always with either fish, meat, vegetables, salad, etc. And always delicious. Our highlight were the chocolate chip cornflakes with cold fresh milk though. The cabins were very spacious with a double bed and mosquito net, a couch, a little closet area with hangers and a fan. The bathroom was huuuge and beautifully designed. Each cabin has a terrace with two lounge chairs where we mostly hung out. We had everything we needed. The entire place was very clean, the cabins, the restaurant, everything.

Staff is nice, they try to do what you ask them for (eg less oily food) The porch of the dining area is nice place to chill, gets some wind and great views Divers the next hkuse east are great

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

We felt very welcome at Husna's homestay and it was a very nice experience. Food was nice and the local tips and advice was very good. I also really enjoyed seeing the Wilson Bird of Paradise during my stay, it was also a great experience. Highly recommend this place when staying in Waisai.

Not only did the accommodation exceed our expectations, our host also went above and beyond to ensure our stay in the area everything we wanted it to be. I can honestly say our time there wouldn’t have been half as good if it wasn’t for Husna, she knew all the right people across the region. I can’t recommend this place highly enough, so much so I wouldn’t bother searching for any other accommodation when I eventually return.
