Terrible experience: Rat, hunger and scams
The beach in front of the homestay
I cannot recommend this homestay under any circumstances. We felt scammed and mistreated:
1. Booking scam: We paid for 3 cabins but were only given 2. They refused to refund the difference or lower the price.
2. Unsanitary: Rainwater leaks inside. We had to sleep on a completely WET mattress (not just damp). At night, rats enter the room, so you have to watch your belongings.
3. Pathetic food: We were actually starving. Portions were tiny and breakfast was ridiculous (two slices of bread barely stained with chocolate and coffee).
4. Abusive prices: They charged us nearly double for a 15-minute boat ride to Gam compared to what we later paid to go to Waisai (which is a trip 3 times longer).
The owner is dishonest and the facilities are a disaster.

Never never again, intimidating owner
The wife and childeren are nice. The food is enough in amounts and tasty. The house reef is beautiful especially around jetty with blue house.
I never put out bad reviews but the owner of this place has some serious anger issues and is not meant to be homestay owner. This is the reason I give this place a score of 1. First I will go into more detail about the facilities that were not the best but not the reason for me to give this score
Facilities:
- Looked not to bad at beginning but in all rooms there are rats. You need to put all you belonings up during the night if you dont want them to destroy your bags. Even if there is no food in there. They also make a lot of noise so was sleeping with earplugs each night.
- you get a broom with the room so that you can get rid of all the Rat poop in the morning yourself. Also on the mosquito nets there is a lot of poop that would otherwise had fallen into the bed.
- Moldy pillows
- breakfast and lunch box was bever ready in time which was annoying as they knew what time my pick up for diving was. I had to eat my breakfast in one minute everyday not best start.
- shower stops /water during the afternoon as the generator is not working
Now my biggest problem with this place is the owner. This man is only after money, he has zero interest in showing you the beautiful place he lives in or to make it the best time for you. Opposite from my other homestays in Raja Ampat. He is in a bad mood all the time. If you don't do a tour with him, he just gets very angry with you even trying to intimidate you. The place was empty most days that I was there, he can therefore be happy that there was someone staying in his place even if I was diving with Soul Scuba. I wanted to do a tour with him on Sunday but he had the sabbat. That is fine bit all other days I was diving so were no option for me. It is no where stated that you must do a tour.
The first 4 days of my stay the facilities were my biggest problem and as the end of my stay came in sight the bad mood of the owner became directed to me. Other guests told me they had experienced this too when I just arrived.

Come for the diving, snorkeling but stay somewhere else.
Location was great, the reef in front was very beautiful.
The room was crude and unfinished. There were almost no hooks for hanging towels, wet swimming suits, snorkeling or diving gear, etc. There were no chairs in the room or on the porch. No clothes line for drying things. The food was barely adequate, things like smoked and dried Tuna, cold rice and a vegetable which was the best thing on the table. No serving implements, face tissues for napkins. Hosts were polite to us but virtually no English, and had a screaming and apparently somewhat violent fight that lasted for at least an hour in the middle of the night.

Binmeos (the owner) was very responsive from the start (very rare in this region as i later realised!) to help arrange transfers, trips and throughout the trip with suggestions and recommendations. His English is actually really good as well which was super helpful.
The location is great, beach is right in front with a gorgeous house reef and a jetty 3 mins walk away for an easier entry in low tide.
The room was large and comfortable, clean, and having a private bathroom was quite the treat (and very rare ok Kri).
Last but not least I must say at Binmeos I had THE BEST food I had in all of my trip to Raja Ampat (stayed at 6 homestays). Binmeos' wife is an incredible chef, and there was always plenty of food! Thank you so much!!

L emplacement est excellent : un récif magnifique devant la chambre , de nombreux spots de snorkelling à proximité accompagné en bateau par Erens le propriétaire .
La nourriture est très bonne préparée par Avril ( un des meilleur poisson de tout notre séjour )
Avec Israël leur jeune enfant cette famille est adorable et cette homestay est très agréable .
Erens a un bateau en parfait état de fonctionnent , rapide et sans panne moteur ( ce qui n est pas toujours le cas ailleurs …)
Le bruit du générateur la nuit qui devrait être réduit pour plus de confort pour tous ( mais avec des bouchons d oreilles l affaire est réglée )

L’emplacement, le récif est vraiment devant la cabane et il est juste à couper le souffle!! Vous pouvez voir plein de poissons et de coraux différents!
Et à marée basse, il y a un ponton à 5 min de marche qui nous amène droit sur le récif
La nourriture est très bonne à midi et le soir, très sommaire le matin (des biscuits) mais c’est ok et c’est pour cela que je mets un 6/10 MAIS…
Donc… nous avons séjourné là-bas 7 jours…
- Les toilettes sont vraiment sales (nous avons séjourné dans un autre Homestay plus rustique et c’était toujours propre). Ici, ce n’est juste pas nettoyé, il laisse tout à l’abandon. D’autres guests qui ont quitté l’homestay avant la fin de leur séjours pour les mêmes problèmes et durant les 4 jours que nous sommes restés après leur départ la chambre n’avais toujours pas été nettoyée!!
- Ensuite, nous avons eu un problème car il y a eu une tempête et les moustiquaires (comme des filets) contre les murs (qui étaient déjà vieilles et sales) se sont effondrées par terre, tout était cassé et sale. Le propriétaire nous a dit qu’il allait les remplacer mais rien n'a été fait Et donc, il y eut du vent encore et tout était toujours sale. Je nettoyais tous les jours moi-même. Même pas un coup de main ne m’a été proposé.
- Nous avons demandé à faire des excursions évidemment…
1er jour : il nous dit « rdv à 14h00 » à 14h00, personne. Il était en ville donc ok, nous ne disons rien. Cela peut arriver d’avoir un contretemps.
2eme jour : «rdv à 15h00 » à 15h00, toujours personne et nous ne le trouvons pas. Il arrive à 15h45 et donc beaucoup trop tard pour faire l’excursion.
3eme jours « rdv à 14h00" », nous avons attendu jusqu’à 15h30 et nous l’avons cherché, mais il dormait sur la plage et donc il n’est pas venu… nous sommes partis faire notre propre snorkeling.
4eme jour: personne sur place toute la journée, donc aucune excursion possible…
Au bout du 5 ème jour, nous avons fait l’excursion car nous lui avons dit de partir le matin, car l’après-midi apparemment il dort ou il est introuvable.
Dernier point : les caca de rats et de puces sur la moustiquaire (qui avait des trous aussi grands que ma main et que j’ai dû recoudre moi-même) et donc les caca nous tombaient dessus. Nous avons dû mettre notre poncho sur le haut de la moustiquaire…
