I had a great stay at Happy Homestay Arborek. Great location - Arborek island has a little village you can walk around, many shops, and nice snorkeling spots. The homestay was very comfortable compared to others in Raja Ampat! All the rooms have fans, sun beds and hammocks, toilets even have a flush. Electricity is on all night, and strong wifi when it is on. Eggy speaks great English and was super helpful in helping book tours and transport.

Amazing stay at Arborek Homestay. The host and family were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel like part of the village. The room was clean, comfortable, and right by the sea. Waking up with an ocean view and snorkeling just steps from the homestay was unforgettable. The food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended if you want an authentic Raja Ampat experience. This is a local island homestay, not a luxury resort, and that is exactly what we loved about it. The atmosphere was peaceful, friendly, and authentic. Yes, cottages are close to each other, but that is normal in Arborek village, and we still had plenty of privacy and beautiful sea views. We stayed for 9 nights, which gave us a good understanding of the place. Like anywhere in a remote island setting, villages celebrating Christmas and new years , but nothing that affected our comfort or enjoyment. Overall, it was a peaceful, quiet, and very relaxing stay During our stay, we had rain and wind as well, which is normal weather in Raja Ampat, but we did not experience any leaking roof or wet mattress. Our room stayed dry and comfortable, and airflow actually helped with the heat during the day. The food was fresh, healthy, and cooked daily. Meals were simple but tasty, using local ingredients. We never had any issues with food quality or hygiene and felt completely safe eating all meals provided. The snorkeling in front of the homestay was excellent, with healthy coral and many fish, and the manta spot nearby is a big bonus. The hosts were kind, helpful, and spoke good English. Overall, we felt very happy with our stay and believe Happy Arborek Homestay offers a true Raja Ampat experience for travelers who appreciate nature and local culture. We would gladly stay here again

Some tourists seriously need a reality check. When you come to Indonesia, you are a guest, not the owner of the place. Respect the local people, culture, and peaceful island life. If you can’t respect Indonesian culture, local people, and island peace — you shouldn’t be traveling here — or don’t come at all.

• dobra lokalizacja i piękne rafy koralowe dookoła wyspy • blisko manta spot • właściciel mówi po angielsku

• bardzo dużo domków, ustawionych frontem do siebie, przez co oglądasz sąsiadów zamiast oceanu • hałas: głośny generator prądu w nocy, blisko sąsiadów, więc jeśli trafisz na kogoś hałaśliwego to trudno spać • dużo biegających dzieci — wiadomo, dzieci muszą się wybiegać, wyśpiewać — tylko czemu na terenie homestay? • w nocy padał deszcz i przeciekał dach… mieliśmy mokry materac, nie dało się spać • nasz domek był ustawiony tyłem do wiatru przez co w ciągu dnia ciężko było wytrzymać, upał był nie do zniesienia, nagrzewał się jak piekarnik • niewygodny leżak, hamak i krzesło, od których bolało całe ciało • niezbyt smaczne jedzenie, monotonne, niestety mało przypraw i takie same śniadania… trafiło nam się zepsute, kwaśne jajko… mogliśmy się zatruć

Beautiful place, lots of fish swimming around the houses. The sweet water shower felt like a luxury too! And comfy mattrasse.The pancakes with chocolate filling were superb!

Unlike another homestay we stayed at, people did not eat together here. It could be nice to encourage people to sit together (i.e. put the plates on the long table) as there are not many other social activities on the island:).
