Homestays in Dokkor

This is Coco and Echo from China!!! We had unbelievable 4 nights in Marwes Homestay, Ervin brought us to see Meta, Kuskus, Coconut crab, sunset…everything we would like to see just tell Ervin! He's a sweet, reliable, smart boy with big smile, and definitely an artist with many talents on painting , artworks. Ervin learned English by himself, very fascinating please keep up the goodwork, and we will see you next time!! nThere is a village 5 mins walk from the homestay, we went for walk everyday and the people kids there are just sooo Nice. This is absolutely a loving big family with a lot of laughters every day. And the food and homemade cake by the aunts are so delicious we will definitely miss them after we back to China. We also had a lot of fun go fishing with William, a funny boy always laughing. Joel, another sweet boy but very very shy, reliable though hhh! We strongly recommend you stay here if you come to Batanta! They even prepare breakfast for us when we leave 5 am.

Really good food, good sanitary conditions.

Staff is nice, they try to do what you ask them for (eg less oily food) The porch of the dining area is nice place to chill, gets some wind and great views Divers the next hkuse east are great

The facilities here were great for raja ampat whilst still feeling authentic! Having your own bathroom with shower, a raised bed, sunbed platform, WiFi and electricity from 5pm - 8am! The dive centre part is also great with us doing our first ever discover scuba and they were so patient and safe! The reef here is truly amazing, with an amazing selection of fish, star fish and reef sharks!

We had a wonderful stay at Frances, what a exklusive and luxurios place. Just 2 wonderful and huge huts in great design, right on top of the reef and in the middle of wonderful original Kurkapa Village. Very friendly staff, excellent food (delivered by the kids of the family right to our huge terrace). What more can you ask for - an island paradise, with a wonderful house reef right in front of the hut. Lots of fishes and sharks living there. Hopefully we´ll be back soon! Katrin & Markus

Atmosphere and Activities: Gibran's homestay has the best atmosphere among all the places we visited in Raja Ampat. They make sure everyone is happy with their stay, and every meal is an occasion for chatting with the other guests. There is a different activity (e.g., snorkeling tour) every day, and the plan is flexible to accommodate guests' needs. Diving can also be easily arranged with other homestays on Kri. Rooms and Common Spaces: The bungalow is basic but clean, the bed is comfortable with fresh sheets, and the large hammock on the deck is definitely the best we’ve had in RA—relaxing there is just amazing. The shared bathrooms are clean, and the shower is very powerful. The food is always different and tasty (more than in other places). Location: Kri's south bay is wonderful. From your room, you have an incredible view, with easy access to the sea and the reef. You can swim to the reef, and during low tide, use one of the nearby jetties. The long, white sandy beach is worth a walk as well (you can see the beach from your room). The house reef is beautiful, and the current is less strong than in other areas, which makes snorkeling very enjoyable.

Waisai pickup was ontime and they were able to answer my questions by WhatsApp before our stay. Homestay itself  is professionaly run by Tina ( she speaks little English) and Ronald (he speaks English). Each hut has own bathroom with proper shower and western toilet, mirror as well. There is only cold water but during sunny day it can become hot - good for shaving. Huts are spacious plus you have veranda with hammock, 2 chairs and table. Tina prepares nice 3 meals per day switching between sweet breakfast of different kind and fish or chicken for dinner and lunch. Tina clean all area regularly even all rubbish hight tide brings, so whole area looks nice. Rised beds are ok, good quality mosquito net is there too. But in February here was only few mosquitos. No rats or mouses during our stay. Best coral just infront of bungalow - you can either access it from nearby jetty Yenkoranu (there are steps to see level) and swim back abive coral reef 400m towards homestay or you can directly swim about 50m to reef edge from homestay. Entire northern Kri reef is wonderful, by my openion much better than Yenbuba jetty and Sauwandarek jetty area, these are overrated. Good water, tea, coffee and condensed sweet milk provided. Just next homestay starts short 1km hike to viewpoint. Path is clearly marked by red dots. Starting the same path and turning right once uphill will lead you during high tide close to small Ransiwor island and from there you can easily swim to Yenbuba jetty (or walk during low tide) - during low tide you can walk entire path around beach to Yenbuba...  Please mind this is not resort, huts are simple but new. No towels provided and you have to ask for bed linen if you want to cover yourself. Sheets are ok. Toilet paper provided. Book your trip in advance if you want to go somewhere as some days nobody is present during day you can talk to about trip. 

Extended for 15 nights, no need to go somewhere else. Best snorkeling with turtles and sharks in front of the bungalow everyday. Good food. Best accommodation/price on the island.

We had a great time at Bruno raja ampat. We were warmly welcomed by Farrah and her family. Farrah prepared us very good food, with typical specialities. The home stay is just in front of the jetee of sauwandarek, on the beach. It’s great for snorkeling. There is a wide variety of fishes, corals and many sea turtles. We are in a small village quiet and very welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and we recommend this address.

Best Location, amazing housereef! Good & enough food, vegetarian friendly. Great diving options nearby. (Turtle & Waranhus) Basic, uncomplicated and very lovely.
