Guest Reviews
- Julia (3/5): - Really nice staff, multiple choice of daily trips. I don’t think I understand this place. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights, but left after the first one. It was our the most expensive stay in Sumatra - with definitely the worst standard. The house was in horrible condition without hot water, but it didn’t bother us that much, let’s say it’s for the authentic vibe. But the beach and surroundings of this place are just… not appealing at all. The beaches are small, the greenery is neglected. I understand that the price is high due to Ricky’s saving turtles program, but still the place needs someone to take care of it!! You can go anywhere in Sumatra to find prettier places, with better beaches, with better greenery. And what’s very important- you are basically stuck there. Everything is surrounded by a forest or is really far away so you basically have to pay them to take you anywhere. For me it was giving a tourist trap - high prices, you are stuck and have to pay for everything , little dinner so you have to eat at their restaurant, bad condition of the houses which is explained by “money goes to the turtles”. People were very nice, but that doesn’t make it worth the stay.
- Cille Birkmann (10/5): . - We stayed 5 nights at Rickys (RBH) and really enjoyed our stay. It takes a bit of time to get there from Padang, but it’s absolutely worth it (and they can help arrange transportation).
RBH is not a typical hotel, but a guesthouse that also serves as a base for volunteer work. It gives the place a cozy atmosphere!
We took the boat trip around the islands and snorkeled from the pier. The food was delicious and the staff were really sweet!
Definitely a place worth recommending if you have a few days in Padang! .
- Ana (10/5): Superou as expectativas - A estadia foi excelente, o bungalow é mesmo em frente à praia e bastante cómodo. A equipa é maravilhosa, prestável e com ambiente familiar, descontraído. Há diversas atividades para explorar, tivemos a oportunidade de realizar o island hopping e aula de surf. O alojamento disponibiliza equipamento de snorkeling gratuito e todos os dias havia uma boa surpresa, quer seja, um sunset incrível, tartarugas a nadar junto à doca ou nadar numa água cristalina e quente. O alojamento promove o convívio entre hóspedes fazendo sempre jantares com todos numa mesa corrida, jogos e por vezes tocam música à fogueira.
Um dos melhores sítios paradisíacos em Sumatra, óptimo para relaxar. Foi tudo melhor que o esperado. Deixamos só uma nota relativamente à comida que apesar de boa, pode melhorar
- Jaron (8/5): - We hebben een fantastische week gehad. Ontzettend gezellige sfeer. Leuk personeel.
Het strand is fantastisch. Schilpadden zichtbaar direct vanaf de pier. Tevens een schildpadjes opvang bij de locatie waarbij we vriendelijk te woord werden gestaan door de vrijwilligers. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is hier wat duurder dan de rest van Indonesië. Het geld krijgt een goede bestemming binnen het dorp voor educatiedoeleinden voor de locale kinderen. We hadden de beach villa. Prachtig uitzicht. Het verblijf zou perfect zijn geweest als de villa wat minder gedateerd zou zijn geweest.
- nurman (5/5): - Fasilitaas tdk sesuai dg harga nya
Pelayanan thd tamu lokal.sgt beda dg tamu asing
- Jéronimo (5/5): 3 jours suffit - La région / le paysage est magnifique. Le service de l'hôtel est pauvre:
- bar vide
- cuisine fermé
- etc...
- Cindy (10/5): - Très bon séjour avec un très bon accueil et une chambre confortable
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Linda (10/5): -
- Anna (7/5): Top locatie, voor echte avonturier misschien saai. - De locatie is fantastisch. En de mensen zijn heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het eten is wel goed verzorgd, maar er is weinig keus en de smaak is vrij neutraal om het voor iedereen lekker moet zijn. Je krijgt dus helaas geen authentieke Padang smaken.
Ook had het wel iets schoner gemogen in de villa.
- Alexander (9/5): Nice stay at a laid-back place, with good food and friendly people - Staying at Ricky's Beachhouse was great! The atmosphere is really laid-back and they offer a few things to do like surfing, hiking or going on a boat trip to a nearby island for snorkling and swimming, which I did and I really had a good time. The views from the shore are spectacular. The food is good and there is a good vibe. It is admirable how Ricky and his team set up this place, expanding bit by bit and doing meaningful things for the community and nature alike. Looking back on my reservation, I did not get the room that I booked. I booked the Villa with the view at sea, which is another place than I got eventually. I was not really sure when we checked in because they are all quite spacious and with a view at the beach. So unfortunately, I paid (a lot) more than what I eventually got. I am sure it was not done on purpose, but I think it is the consequence of having somewhat unexperienced staff. The same was when checking out: I had to leave early in the morning (07:30) and I asked whether it is possible to get an early breakfast since normally breakfast was served later. They said yes, no problem. But next morning, there was nobody to even talk to, let alone order a breakfast. Communication in between the staff definitely needs improvement to meet some expectations. I am not expecting a 5* service at all, and I had a great time at Ricky's place but improved communication in between staff and towards guests could make things better.
- Anna (9/5): -
- Natalia (9/5): Lovely, peaceful and beautiful place - Very peaceful place far from busy town, good food, music and beautiful scenery, friendly staff and lovely animals Some problems with water supply after the rain

- Markus (10/5): - Wir (15/20/20/49/53) waren 6 Tage/7Nächte in Rickys Beachhaus. Wir hatten HP. Frühstück war zum Aussuchen von der Karte und es war ausreichend Auswahl. Abends saßen alle Gäste und Praktikanten an einem Tisch und aßen in totaler entspannter Stimmung zu abend. Es gab zig verschiedene Gerichte, es war abwechselnd, mehr als ausreichend und wirklich sehr lecker. Zum Trinken gab es neben Bier, Softdrinks, Wasser und Tee auch Kaffee. Bier und Softdrinks kosten extra aber die Preise passten gut. Lunch muss auch extra gezahlt werden, ist aber wirklich günstig und die Auswahl super. Die Köchinnen mache wirklich leckerstes Essen. Der Platz ist super zum relaxen. Alle sind tiefen entspannt, furchtbar nett und sie lächeln immer. Besonders vielen Dank an Pepe, Brain und unsere Schnorcheltouren Guides. Wir machten 2 Touren mit dem Boot zu verschiedenen Inseln zum Schnorcheln. Wir sahen jede Menge bunte Fische und auch Korallen. Es gab Lunch, Kaffee, Wasser, Obst und Kekse. Wir wurden richtig verwöhnt. Die zwei Touren kosteten uns 2.5 Mio Rupia. Der Kochkurs bei Brian ist zu empfehlen, war nett und lustig. Die Zimmer sind sauber. Die Betten sind bequeme, haben ein Fliegennetz abererwartet kein Luxushotel. So die ein oder andere Ameise wurde schonmal im Zimmer, aber nicht im Bett gesehen. Es gibt keine Klimaanlage aber es kühlt nachts gut runter und wir konnten gut schlafen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen, auch länger, da es dort kurzweilig ist. Was ich noch erwähnen möchte ist, dass man vom dortigen Steg aus gut Schnorcheln kann und wir auch einige Schildkröten gesehen haben. Viele Dank an Ricky und sei Team für die tolle Zeit.
We (15/20/20/49/53) stayed at Ricky's Beach House for 6 days/7 nights. We had half board. Breakfast was a choice from the menu, and there was a wide selection. In the evening, all the guests and interns sat at one table and ate dinner in a completely relaxed atmosphere. Wir mussten wieder gehen....
- Philipp (10/5): Tolle Gemeinschaft und super Ort zum Schnorcheln, Volleyball und chillen - Es ist ein besonderer Ort mit einem Gemeinschaftsgefühl. Die Projekte wie Englisch unterrichten in der Dorfschule oder Schildkröten aufziehen sind sehenswert. Man kann schnorcheln und es ist ein schöner Ort. Wir waren 5 Nächte dort. Der Bodenbelag im Bungalow hatte teilweise Löcher und ist in die Jahre gekommen
- Chris (8/5): -
- gilles (10/5): lieu et accueil merveilleux - Le lieu et ses occupants sont exceptionnels ! Difficile d'en partir !
- Evelyn (9/5): Een geweldige plek, zeker bezoeken! - Een geweldige plek om bij te komen, te genieten van de mooie natuur, witte stranden op de eilandjes dichtbij, heerlijke avondmaaltijden en vooral heel vriendelijk personeel en vrijwilligers uit Europa die helpen met de mooie projecten. We hebben veel mooie leuke gesprekken gehad, samen gevolleybald en gezongen bij het kampvuur. En daarnaast gezien wat er gebeurd voor het behoud van schildpadden, koraal, Engelse lessen en voetbal voor de kinderen in het dorp!
Met het gezin met twee jongens van 19 en 13 jaar enorm genoten!
- menno (9/5): Heerlijk relaxed en bijzonder verblijf - Gezellig en mooie ligging, verder zijn de de medewerkers zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Je moet je wel realiseren dat je gezamenlijk in de avond met elkaar eet. Een eerste keer is dat best even wennen maar je maakt op deze wijze ook weer contact met anderen Huisje waarin wij verbleven was wat verouderd, douche had geen douchekop en wat zaken die wat vervallen waren. Wel schoon!
- elodie (10/5): - Superbe emplacement, bungalow familial spacieux et confortable, vue sur mer. Équipe jeune et très serviable. Ils organisent pleins d excursions et activités. Les repas du soir sont chaleureux et délicieux. Il y a une jetée sur laquelle on peut lezarder et se baigner et faire du snorkeling (peu de corail mais énormément de poissons, muraine, poulpe et des tortues si vous êtes patients et observateurs)
Cette guest house est parfaite que vous soyez un voyageur solo, en couple ou en famille. Rien
- A.A. (9/5): - Relaxte sfeer, leuk oom in contact te komen met andere gasten door het gezamenlijk eten. Eten was beetje lauw en weinig smaak.
- C.Bot (10/5): - Prachtlocatie. Verder waren er uitsapjes mogelijk, boottours, Mentawi, volleybal en spelltjes. Het is halfpension en gezamenlijk eten. De steiger was leuk om van daar uit te snorkelen. Het personeel was super betrokken bij de gasten en zeer behulpzaam. De wifi was niet altijd optimaal.
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dorota (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderful place with clean, comfortable cottages, and dinner at a communal table where all guests had the opportunity to get to know each other, chat, and share experiences. The stuff was very friendly and helpful. We went on a snorkeling trip for a chance to see the paradise. The owner cares about the environment, tries to minimize plastic use, and runs a sea turtle protection project. We highly recommend this place.
- Amanda (10/5): Relaxing and rejuvenating stay! - Ricky’s beach house has a great location! It’s away from the busyness and noise of the city on a quiet, beautiful beach. The staff were great! They were friendly, helpful and accomodating. Food was delicious and the live music at night was a bonus- just bring ear plugs if you like an early night! There’s great options for day trips- I loved the boat trip to the island, including snorkelling, snacks and lunch! The projects attached to the accommodation are super interesting and seem to be really making a difference for the community. Great job guys! Lack of soap and toilet paper in the bathroom.
- Amy (8/5): Rustic and lovely beaches. Friendly locals - The staff were wonderful and so attentive. Friendly and accommodating. Was made to feel very welcome. Beautiful scenery and beaches to ourselves. On the first night, some guests had a party and the noise was very loud. We couldn’t sleep and had to ask them to stop at 4am. One night there was a monsoon, there were leaks in our rooms and our luggage got wet.
- Siti (10/5): Excellent - Its decent and clean Community-based but it is indeed an international standards
- Liz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Berber (8/5): I loved my time here ! - Staff is so kind, the vibe is really good.
Food was amazing ! The mosquito-net didn’t really work
- Imogen (9/5): Superb -
- Reto (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything about our stay at Ricky's Beach House! Great project with fantastic staff that makes you feel at home, wonderful location, great food, relaxing atmosphere!
- Gilles (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jack (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dustin (9/5): Superb - Wonderful staff! Very friendly, many young locals coming to meet and help travelers. Lovely nightly sunset and stunning view. Accessible days trips. Ilham is an awesome managers of the property! Having a more accessible wifi would be super useful. The of a youth/volunteer stay for travelers is nice, everyone is friendly. But I did realize at the time...my own fault really. But still overall a wonderful stay!
- Martin (6/5): Pleasant - You can see turtles while snorkeling. The place is good for people who like to get to know different people and like to chat with locals. Even though I knew about the place and it's project beforehand, I was slightly disappointed. It would have been nice to have a more comfortable chair or hammock in the villa and the beach. More importantly, for the money you pay, the bathroom facilities should get an upgrade and a thorough cleaning with actual cleaning products! Also, please provide handsoap in all your bathrooms.
Unfortunately some people in the bay outside the resort play loud music during the day, sometimes starting at 6:30am. Even if they lower the volume upon request, it still disturbs the peace.
- Jeanine (9/5): Superb - nice snorkeling in front of the place.
lovey location
kind staff.
