This place is amazing. The best part is definitely the location - it's completely tucked away in nature and you get the most beautiful view over Mount Lokon and the fishing pond/garden. Yet, you are close by the town still and everything you need (including cafes and restaurants) is within walking distance. The other part that makes this place amazing is the staff. They are so so friendly and willing to help you with anything! Will definitely stay here again!!

The best place you could stay in Bunaken island. Frankie and his wife make the homestay a very familial experience while you keep having privacy in your room. Spotless clean and comfortable bed. The breakfast was delicious everyday and the treatment is really like being their personal guest! They helped organise everything I needed, from transfers, to diving and there are many other activities on the island. Just can’t recommend it enough!

After a month of intens traveling I took a few days of doing nothing but sleeping early, snorkeling and reading. Enjoyed my stay here especially cause there was no need to go anywhere else for the food. Three amazing meals are included in the price

The family of the homestay are lovely and treat you like part of the family straight away. The food was excellent and plentiful. Not only did they cater to vegetarian and vegan diets easily, the food was delicious and a highlight of our stay. For the room, it was small but adequate with a queen size bed with a comfortable mattress. The bathroom was nice with a good pressure cool shower and flushing toilet. Aircon worked great.and was a nice treat. Ken's homestay was the place to be in the evening with live music being played by various talents from across the village. It's a fun and friendly vibe. Some nights are more lively than others which was a nice mix for us. If you are a light sleeper or go to bed early bring earplugs and it is fine. The mornings are nice and quiet and you can wake up to the sound of the waves. You can't even hear the church or the mosque! We went on two snorkelling tours and both were great ways to see other amazing snorkelling spots and we even visited the village on Manado Tua. Good value too. We extended our stay by two nights and wished we could have stayed longer. Terima kasih banyak!

Very nice and new accommodation. Everything is spotless clean. Meals are included and very tasty with lots of variation. The accommodation lies a bit secluded, but perfect for a couple of days of relaxing. The dive school is just across the street. You can also learn about pearl cultivation, a nice tour is offered. Last but not least, the staff is very friendly and will make your stay as comfortable as possible. They can arrange transportation to your next destination. All in all: a perfect place to stay if you don’t want to cross to Lembeh island.

Very cute and simple homestay! The location on the beach is very nice and mamalis is a very good cook. The couple will help you to rent a scooter or organize snorkeling trips and there is a good diving center next door. It might be cheaper to only book one night and then extend the stay, since they charge less when it's not on this platform. Communication is through translator app and the neighbours,but it works well!

Two lovely adjacent bungalows in front of the beach in the village with a shared porch with a dining table and relax chairs. The host Mamalis made amazing varied food, some of the best we’ve had in Indonesia. Papa Sem has a boat for snorkeling and dolphin tours. The atmosphere is calm, close to the pier and two diving schools. Communication in English is done through Stefen, who runs a nearby homestay. He is very friendly, like Mamalis and Papasem, whom you can talk to in Indonesian and through translation apps.

Big and comfortable room with AC, functional bathroom. Water, tea and coffee available all the time. The food was amazing, catered for vegetarians and huge portions, and the women who looked after us caring and excellent. Thank you! A great location right next to the Tangkoko reserve entrance with Ifon our host and guide brilliant at spotting wildlife in the trees! Beautiful beaches and nice locals in the village. Basic facilities but if you are used to staying in Indonesia and or the jungle, you’ll be fine.

The homestay is located in a lovely garden with some fishing ponds and flowers centrally but quietly located in Tomohon. The host was great and provided me with a pickup late at night from Manado, showed me around the area and also dropped me off at the airport. Communication was easy via WhatsApp. Would totally stay here again and longer than the one night I had this time. Tomohon is a great and totally worth a visit for a few days if not more and this is an affordable place to explore it.

It was such a nice stay in this homestay. The host Franky welcomes you like a friend and part of the family. We even visited a local wedding and I played some violin for them :D Also the Jungle Tours are quite interesting, and he can show you so many animals. The rooms are close to the jungle and are well equipped. Just go there, you won't regret it. Franky, I miss you and your family!

We spent five nights at El Homestay as a group of four friends. Before arriving in Bunaken, I thought it would be too much time there, but once we arrived at El Homestay, we didn't want to leave.... It has been amazing staying here and experiencing Bunaken. There is a lot to do: snorkeling, diving, dolphins, sandbank, mangroves, visiting Siladen Island, hiking, renting a motorbike, and visiting the viewpoint. We can't wait to be back next year. Thank you Stefen + Family!

The owner of the homestay is a gardener at heart, which becomes immediately clear once you pass through the tunnel from the main road and find a huge, terraced garden with a river and bridge and lots of colorful flowers, trees and bushes. The bungalows in this garden are comfortably furnished with lots of wood, carvings and wickerwork and all have an inviting veranda. The restaurant is not yet fully green, but serves outstanding food, healthy, unusual and plentiful, even for vegetarians.

Very nice homestay, perfect for the trips to Tangkoko National Park, because the entrance to the park is just opposite to the Ranger Homestay. The cottage had everything that you need for convenient stay - big, comfortable beds, clean bathroom, AC and terrace with some chairs where you can relax after visit in Tangkoko National Park. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, they help also arrange the pickup from and to Manado. We made the morning and evening trips to the Tangkoko National Park and saw a lot of animals.
