Fam Homestay

The location is perfect, the family very nice, everything was excellent.

Ths food couls be more varied

Le personnel était très gentil et à l'écoute ! Le lieu est paradisiaque, la nourriture est très bonne ! Les sanitaires sont propres

Je ne veux pas que le logement soit pénalisé par la plongée que nous avons faite avec Yonas, d'où la note élevée qui reflète bien notre logement à Fam Homestay. Mais sinon nous n'avons pas aimé les 2 plongées faites avec Yonas. Il parle très mal anglais c'était très compliqué de se comprendre et quand on lui demande de répéter il s'énervait un peu comme si nous ne comprenions rien... On est parti en plongée à bord des petites barques qu'ils utilisent la bas c'était vraiment pas confortable pour remonter dedans sous une averse avec les vagues... Alors qu'on a payé exactement le même prix ailleurs avec un vrai bateau. En plus il ne semble pas vraiment rattaché à un club de plongée, ça ne m'a pas paru safe.

Unser Aufenthalt in diesem Homestay in Raja Ampat war einfach traumhaft. Das Homestay war sehr groß und gemütlich, und wir hatten jeden Tag abwechslungsreiches und leckeres Essen – Frühstück, Mittag- und Abendessen waren immer inklusive. Direkt vor dem Homestay lag ein aktives Korallenriff, in dem wir wunderschöne Fische, bunte Korallen, kleine Riffhaie, einen großen Hai und sogar Delfine und Schildkröten gesehen haben. Es war wirklich wie ein Paradies, und das Wasser war perfekt zum Schwimmen. Besonders toll war auch die Gastfreundschaft der Familie. Ihre Kinder waren super nett und witzig, wir haben uns rundum wohl und sicher gefühlt. Die Touren waren gut organisiert, wir bekamen immer Essen und Wasser mit, und wir konnten nachts sogar die Tür offen lassen, weil wir uns so sicher gefühlt haben. Insgesamt also eine absolute Empfehlung!

Es gab wirklich nichts auszusetzen, alles war rundum gut. Wir sind absolut zufrieden

L’expérience humaine est incroyable : l’accueil des habitants et de la famille de l’homestay permet de vraiment découvrir la culture locale. Nourriture exceptionnelle, avec du poisson frais pêché chaque jour. Possibilité d’aller faire du snorkeling dans des spots extraordinaires, à proximité de Pianemo. Personnel extrêmement disponible et attentif : levé à 5h du matin pour nous conduire au ferry, toujours prêt à aider. Expérience globale immersive et mémorable, du début à la fin.

Aucun point négatif, tout était parfait !

El lugar es precioso y está ubicado en buen sitio para hacer buceo por Raja Ampat. La habitación está bonita decorada y es cómoda. Corre mucha brisa y te permite dormir sin calor (aunque se escucha mucho el mar).

Aunque majos, no han interactuado mucho con nosotros. La comida no ha sido lo mejor y en un desayuno nos pusieron arroz y poco más. Tienen una barquita chiquita con la que te trasladan y consideramos que no es la más segura si tienes que moverte a sitios lejanos. La playa al rededor está bastante sucia con plásticos. Quizá deberían de intentar limpiarlo todo un poco más o ser más cuidadosos.

This place looks so beautiful, the family have created such a beautiful, place with shells and driftwood decorating everything, we loved it. The food was incredible and the room was very comfy. The house reef was beautiful and we saw mantas straight from our room! Thank you so much for such a beautiful stay.

The location was beautiful and the hosts were sweet and helpful. The food was nice (fresh fish everyday).

Nothing

Great location if you are looking for isolation. Food was tasty and varied. Chicken, fish noodles, vegetables, fruit...and of course rice! We even had cheesecake one day. The hosts tried to be as varied as they could. While we were there 4 nights all, the other guests 6 others besides us, were very friendly and thoughtful and easy going. We all made sure that everyone got enough food and if there was less food, usually fruit or breakfast, then we were all fair and it was equally distributed!! They had peanut butter, jam, and chocolate spread. Extra treat!!! I was having a hard time eating chicken or fish ( my issue not the quality of the food prepared) so the peanut butter was a nice protien to have. Nice flavors and seasonings on the food prepared. This was out second homestay and they kept things clean, they had tile in the shower and toilet which made it easier to keep clean. I liked that they had water buckets at all entrances, dining area, bathrooms, bungalows. I borrowed the dining area broom to sweep out the bungalow. The reef out front was good, snorkeling many times during the day. My husband dove with Pam Divers and he said in comparison to other areas he dove during our 21 days in Raja Ampat, Pam Islands was the clearest, coral in greatest condition and the most ocean life. If we had known this,we would have stayed in this area longer. Hosts were polite and helpful, we were able to communicate well enough. Their children played freely around the property. They have 3 waterfront bungalows with a 4th being built and 2 beach bungalows. We looked at.pictures and read reviews so expectations of the property were standard.

The bungalows. My opinion for being there only 4 days out of 365. Instead of focusing on building more bungalows as a priority, they should keep up the repairs on the existing ones first. 2 stormy rainy nights and the roof was leaking, both nights. They did get up on the rood during the rain and make repair attempts. we had to move the bed around to avoid the dripping, but we could only move it so far and had a bucket on the bed. Other cabins have had roof leaking issues also. I'm not sure if they can do anything about the mold. Once the walls get wet from the rain, it doesnt really get a chance to dry out, so the walls have mold. I don't know if this was in other bungalows, I didn't ask other guests about this issue. I understand the environmental conditions are hard on the bungalows, but maintenance is important to keep guests comfortable enough to want to stay.
