Junior Homestay

Located just outside of the Kri island 'hub', junior homestay is a short walk to the dive shop and a long jetty for getting out to the drop off for low tide snorkelling. At high tide there is a great reef directly out from the homestay. Like most homestays on Kri, they are growing, currently there are four bungalows and soon to be 6. The owner Habel is quiet and unassuming, he'll help you organise whatever you need, but you may be better off messaging him on WhatsApp or booking.com as this allows him to use google translate (he's very happy with this). Rubin is the primary staff member we interacted with, he and his brother work there and are originally from batang, very friendly and bringing afternoon coconuts if you ask! Food was really good, always multiple protein options and a bit of variety in what was provided. Noting that meals still mostly align with the local options! Each bungalow has a great outlook and a hammock!

Everything 😀 Location was perfect, host was amazing, sunsets beautiful, dive school short walk as close to perfection as you’ll find.

Nothing.

Great food

Alfred the host was incredibly welcoming and gave us an amazing feeling that we are wanted! The food was delicious and the simple cabin gave us the experience like we are on a lonely island like we wanted! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Lovely quiet homestay consisting of 3 water bungalows about 100 meters walk along the beach to the dive shop. Nice sized bungalow, clean toilet and washing area with path to keep clean after washing, nice eating area and nice simple food. Although there is a slight language barrier the owner Halfred will do everything he can to help you to ensure you have a happy stay. Compared to other homestays the toilet and washing area are the best I’ve had in raja and I would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional location, very close to the dive school. Friendly staff although translating things into Indonesian on your phone might help you get what you need. Yummy food and AMAZING views. The hammocks are a nice touch and the availability of power from the generator a bit longer than I thought would happen was much appreciated.

A bit more information about the local features might have helped. For example, the reef is quite far out but easily accessible from the end of the pier at the dive school. Host family lent a snorkel so that was nice. Tidying up the rubbish washed onto the beach would have made it more homely.

View made the most spectacular from the different places we went. You are really close to dive center (Soul) - 100% recommended and amazing sunsets. It's nice to go up the hill to do the hike to the peak. The meals are served together at the dinning area for all the guests.

Bed wasn't the best and room a bit dark.

Great accommodation, good food and a really nice family. 100% recommend!

The staff were super lovely. The food was delicious. The rooms were very cool over the water. There is a large patch of sand infront of the bungalows, which makes the water in high tide look so clear and gorgeous.

A few small housekeeping things like emptying the bin from the last people before I arrived. More toilet paper in the bathrooms. Nothing bad, just a little more attention to detail
