Guest Reviews

• Axelle (6/5): -
• Carlo (10/5): - Clean and new Homestay. Very nice people and plenty of stuff to do. They can organize anything for you. The fam islands are beautiful
• Lothar (10/5): Tranquil Homestay with great food, trips and nice staff - Wonderful View, great, reasonal priced snorkle Trips to piaynemo and fantastic spots near Fam, Tasty food and snacks in the afternoon, nice friendly staff, ok house reef- we went out couple of times, very tranquil with hammock at porch over the water watching baby sharks swimming by. All in all we highly recommend staying there. Nothing at all
• Carol (9/5): -
• Barbara (10/5): Incroyable - Nous avons passé quatre jours chez Romell et sa famille. Toujours souriant et partant pour nous emmener en excursion avec un rapport qualité prix imbattable. Une connaissance de sa région au top. Nous avons pu voir les manta et faire le tour à PyaNemo et une partie de Peche avec son père qui était une Masterclass. Une douche original et confortable (on vous laisse découvrir) Petit déjeuner léger au niveau des quantités mais nous leur avons fait part de cela
• Jekaterina (9/5): - Its amazing, remote homestay on Fam (Pam) Islands runninh by the famiky. Away from the crowd. Houses made by the owner Romel. Very basic, but very cozy. Homestay is just one year old. Everything made from Palm trees. All meals are included. Grilled fish is amaaaaazing. You can go snorkeling or fishing by boat in different locations. The owner of the homestay brings You there with his boat. Very reasonable prices. Toilet and shower is for sharing, but its always clean. If You wanna stay away from the crowd, I highly recommend this homestay Hot shower is missing. But don't forget, You are almost on the uninhabited island. You can't have all:))
• Anton (10/5): - Vom Bangalow aus viele Fische, Babysharke, Rochen und Moräne zu beobachten. Gutes Hausriff
• Sebastian Daisuke (10/5): - Our host was very nice and friendly. The food was tasty and the homestay in general was top notch!
• Alice (9/5): -
• Florent (10/5): Great and warm welcome - Romel and his family really takes care of their guests, they are kind and they pay attention to details. The food is delicious, the toilet are clean and the shower is one of the best you can find in Raja! Romel’s brothers will take you on trip arround Rufas, Piaynemo, or go swim with mantas. The place is amazing and the quality of the bed and houses is excellent. Thank you Romel for everything 🙏 Pierre. Nothing.
• Nicholas (10/5): Recommend staying at Senja Homestay as a premium option around Pam Island area. - We had a very pleasant 2 night stay at Senja Homestay. The bungalows are over water and are well equipped. The bungalows face over to Pam Island, so you do hear the comings and goings of local longboats but not bothersome. There is a delightful walking path through the local village extending down along a palm fringed white sandy beach. Romel was a terrific host. He speaks fluent English and was very responsive with all communications. He could not have been more helpful to ensure our stay was perfect. The food was amazing – awesome variety of fruits, vegetables, tofu, fish and snacks. They prepared massive flame grilled reef fish in a sambal sauce for the dinner on our last night – delicious! The power is on all night. The shower had really good water pressure which was a welcome feature after a few weeks of bucket bathing. As the location is more protected from the wind and nestled in the mangroves, there are mosquitoes here, so stock up on repellent. The Telkomsel wifi signal at Senja is strong bc the main wifi tower on Pam Island is very close. We did a morning snorkelling trip around a few of the smaller islands near Pam Island. It was good. Romel can arrange whatever boat trips you want as he has 2 boats. Senja is well located to access the Pam Island to Sorong Cargo Ferry, takes like 5 mins to reach the jetty in a longboat and you can see when the ferry docks from your veranda. I would recommend staying at Senja Homestay as a premium option around Pam Island area. All good

• Elodie (10/5): Authentique et convivial - J’ai passé trois jours au Senja Homestay chez Romel et tout s’est très bien passé. La famille est très accueillante et toujours souriante. Romel parle anglais, et sa femme Bertha est vraiment adorable. Le lieu est calme, au cœur de la mangrove. Depuis mon bungalow, j’ai même pu observer le soir des requins pointe noire et à quelques mètres des raies. Le homestay est récent (environ un an), ce qui se ressent : les installations sont propres, bien entretenues et en très bon état. La nourriture est variée, fraîche et vraiment délicieuse. L’électricité ne commence qu’à 18h et le réseau téléphonique est souvent coupé, mais cela concerne toute l’île, pas le homestay. Il y a un petit village à environ 10 minutes à pied, et un autre à environ 2 heures. Pour ce deuxième village, Romel propose un service de pick-up en bateau si besoin (payant). Nous avons également fait une très belle sortie en mer avec lui et son oncle vers Piaynemo, Melissa’s Garden, Anita’s Garden, Fam Wall, Rufas et Star Lagoon. Un séjour paisible, propre et authentique que je recommande vraiment. Je pensais pouvoir faire du snorkeling directement depuis mon bungalow, mais ce n’est pas l’endroit idéal pour ça. Romel prévoit cependant de construire une jettée à l’avenir.

• Jennifer (8/5): Ganz gut mit etwas Verbesserungspotential :) - Die Zimmer und auch die Toilette/Dusche sind sehr sauber. Das Essen war sehr lecker und auch immer mehr als genug! Die hauser bzw wege sind mit liebevollen Details wie Korallen oder pflanzen geschmückt. Nachmittags gab es für ca 3-4 Stunden kein Internet, sodass man komplett abschalten konnte. Aktuell sind in dem Homestay nur zwei fertige Häuser. Als wir dort waren, waren wir die einzigen Gäste. Leider wurden wir von der Familie nicht sooo Doll beachtet wie wir es aufgrund der anderen Rezensionen erwartet hätten... Auch als wir lächelnd gegrüßt haben, wurden wir nicht wirklich zurück beachtet, daher haben wir uns Recht einsam gefühlt.. aufgrund anderer Rezensionen wegen ratten haben wir unsere Sachen nachts komplett verstaut, hatten aber vergessen, dass wir in einem Rucksack noch ein milchbrötchen hatten, sodass wir nachts auch Besuch von Ratten hatten, die den Rucksack angeknabbert haben. Ratten scheinen in raja ampat aber auch nicht unüblich zu sein... Romel hat nur ein kleines Boot, bei dem man Recht schnell sehr nass werden kann. Aufgrund einer aufkommenden Möglichkeit mit einem größeren Boot abgeholt zu werden, haben wir uns dann auch entschieden eher abzureisen, da wir den Komfort und auch die Einsamkeit nicht noch weitere Nächte haben wollten.
• Marc (7/5): - Nos alojamos en Senja Homestay (Raja Ampat) y la experiencia fue bastante auténtica. Está ubicado en Familand, una zona más apartada (a unas 2–2,5 horas en longboat desde Waisai), lo que lo hace ideal si quieres disfrutar de lugares increíbles como Melissa’s Garden o Pianemo sin tanta gente alrededor. El alojamiento es muy sencillo, probablemente de los más locales de la zona, con solo un par de cabañas más. Durante nuestra estancia estuvimos prácticamente solos, lo cual fue un plus porque apenas había turistas. Como puntos a mejorar: la comida era bastante justa y repetitiva (algo común en la zona), y la comunicación fue complicada, ya que solo hablaba algo de inglés un chico del staff, Romul, con quien apenas pudimos interactuar.
• Laura (4/5): Décevant - Lit ferme et confortable Pas très loin d’Andau resort pour la plongée (10-15min) Présence de rats dans la chambre la nuit, ils nous ont mangé notre shampoing, dépôt, sacs Personne ne parle anglais Réseau très instable. Car coupures de l’antenne réseau le matin, puis ça revient puis plus rien de 14h à 18h La nourriture est tous les jours pareil que vous soyez 2 ou 4 Il y avait un mégot sur le sol dans les toilettes , c’est dommage
• Guillaume (10/5): Good food, good vibes ! - Romel made everything to make us fell like at home. This is a family homestay, all the food was freshly done and it was lovely, even the fish was freshly caught by the Romel’s dad. We had also nice snack in the afternoon. We made a day trip in Pyanemo, all was perfectly organized. No doubt this is an homestay which we would be happy to book again Nothing to report
• Marieke (9/5): -
• Jane (8/5): Amazing stay❤️ - A great stay in Raja Ampat on Fam island. Romel and his family are so nice & helpful. We had a great trip to Piaynemo, Rufus, Melissa garden & Fam wall❤️
• Niels (10/5): Exceptional - Locally owned, always ready to help and the place is brand new (february). We were the only people there and the food was always tasty. Lunchboxes were also great when we were out on trips. Of course out here it is more basic, but for what you can expect in the area it is great. One room is fully ready with one more pretty much done and another already in the works. Water gets quite low at low tide. Would recommend water shoes.
• Irena (10/5): Great local, authentic stay with private beach - My stay at Senjas was a wonderful, authentic and real experience with a local family. It was real because I was the only guest and experiences and incredible time with them. It is a very new homestay, so everything was very clean, new bathroom with a sitting toilet (not usual in Raja Ampat), an own beach, beautiful sunsets on your veranda. The food was incredible delicious, I liked their spices, also important to mention it was an all-inclusive stay with a lot of food for myself (on booking it said only breakfast). You have access to the nearby village and can walk to it. The family was helpful and did day trips with me for snorkelling adventure. If you are into socializing with other travellers, it might not be ideal because I was there alone but there were 2 bungalows.
• Richard (10/5): Beautiful place looked after by lovely family. - Beautiful place looked after by lovely family. Amazing corals just infront of the bungalows. Romeo took good care of us and the food was delicious. We loved especially the freshly griĺled fish. Very clean place and new.
