Awesome food and comfy homestay
We loved the welcome and how lucky and his family took amazing care of us
They supported us in everything since before coming to Pam.
The food was honestly the best we had in Raja Ampat and room were cozy with comfortable beds and a nice terrace with hammocks
I believe the bathrooms might have some room for improvement
Also the location is beautiful and very convenient for a relaxed day trip to Piaynemo instead of crossing from Mansuar or Gam. Also here we saw the most beautiful sky at night. However, in August in very very windy all the time

Where the sound of the ocean meets a starlit sky
Staying at Mares Homestay was a truly special experience, and we are so grateful to Luky and his wonderful family for the incredible welcome they gave us from the very first moment.
Their hospitality was genuine, warm and attentive throughout our entire stay — always present when needed, yet never intrusive. You immediately feel at home, looked after by people who truly care about their guests.
The location is something else entirely. Tucked away from the rest of the world, the homestay sits facing the open sea, offering breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that you will remember long after leaving. And when night falls, the real magic happens — far from any light pollution, the sky reveals a spectacular blanket of stars that left us speechless every evening. A rare and humbling experience.
What struck us deeply is the remarkable work Luky has put into building this place with his own hands. Every detail reflects his dedication and his genuine desire to offer his guests the very best. The garden is beautifully maintained and adds to the peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere of the property.
The food was excellent — generous, tasty and varied, with fresh ingredients that made every lunch and dinner a real pleasure. One small note: the breakfast could be a little more substantial to fuel a full day of activities, but this is a minor point in an otherwise outstanding stay.
Mares Homestay is the kind of place that reminds you why you travel. Thank you Luky and family — from the bottom of our hearts. 🌟

Loved everything about this homestay
Location of the homestay is amazing! The owner of the homestay is really kind and goes out of his way to help you. I urgently needed something from Waisai, and he arranged everything- I am extremely grateful for his kindness and willingness to help☺️
Besides all that, the food here was AMAZING !
Can’t wait to come back once I visit Raja Ampat again!

Amazing authentic stay on Raja Ampat
We had an amazing stay at mares homestay and it was our favourite in all of Raja Ampat. A local run homestay which gives you a super authentic experience. It’s far away from all the crowds and still offer amazing trips and locations to explore. Food was solid, small details like a coconut or afternoon cake made it special. View from the bungalow and hammock is amazing.

3 nuits en pleine nature, avec une famille adorable et super gentille.
Les excursions pour Pianemo et autres spots de snorkeling sont vraiment à faire avec le père de la famille.
Les repas (petit déjeuner, déjeuner, snack, dîner) sont copieux et excellents.
Beaucoup de vent chaque jour, prévoyez des vestes ! :)

La famille qui tient ce homestay est vraiment adorable, les repas sont très bons, la chambre et les parties communes sont propres.
Nous avons fait une excursion avec le papa et nous avons adoré, il est vraiment aux petits soins.
Aussi, juste à côtés il y a un petit village très sympa pour se ballader.
Nous n'avons pas pu nous baigner depuis le homestay car la marée était vraiment trop basse, et c'est aussi très exposé au vent, mais ça doit dépendre des périodes.
Deux nuits sur place pour faire les excursions c'est parfait

Muy cerca de piaynemo. La comida estaba buena, y te ponen merienda. El personal es agradable.
Nos tocó viento y allí no se podía estar…parecía que había un tornado en la cabaña…. Hacía una corriente horrible y estaba todo empapado en salitre… el desayuno bastante escueto. El personal, fue agradable, pero la realidad es que no nos informó de nada a la llegada… ni de horarios, ni donde estaban los baños… los transfers y las excursiones muy caras, incluso compartiendo con otras personas…. Tuvimos que adelantar la vuelta un día por mala información de horarios del ferry por su parte (con la estancia y pensión completa ya pagada) y no nos ofrecieron reembolso, ni llevarnos algo de comida para ese día en el típico tupper que te dan en el resto de homestays…. Otra de las cosas que no te cuentan es que te pones absolutamente chorreando en la barca… ellos van con impermeables, pero a ti no te dan nada… yo les pedí algo para resguardarnos y nos dieron una lona para 5 personas (pudieron usarla dos de los que íbamos en el barco, el resto hasta con máscara de bucear para poder abrir los ojos)
