Cheap hotels in Friwin

We had the best time at Friwen Mangrove Eco Lodge! Rachid was a perfect host and very organised. We also can recommend the day tours with Rachid. The meals were also very delicious and varied every day. We will definitely come back to this little paradise!

I choosed this Hotel for my last nights in Raja Ampat, because there is AC, Wifi and it's close to the ferry port. Room was great! Bed comfortable, AC works great, nice view from the terrace. Wifi stable. All staff members were super friendly, nice and helpful. Food was amazing, best I had in RA. They even did my laundry for free. The beach is a dream and near the jetty from another Resort close by, there are amazing corals, very good snorkeling opportunities. Area is secluded, very quiet, just a few other Homestays, nice kids all around. Tours to Kali Biru or Birds of paradise are available. I can not say thank you enough for these great days.

Direct at the beach. With hammok on the balkoni. Lucy is a great cooker. She make really nice food. Willi is a very friendly person and will do everything to have a nice time there. Thank you lucy and willi

The homestay is idyllic and secluded. We were right on the water, the porch is nicely decorated, there's a table and chairs so in the evenings we could easily play cards. In the day, if we weren't diving with Corepen (they come and collect you and drop you off), we would snorkel on the coral reef in front of the homestay which is fantastic! We saw a turtle, ray, squid, clown fish, a shark etc. All three meals are included and Lina's cooking is amazing. We would eat fresh fish everyday. Portion size is very generous so you won't be going hungry. Lina and Arnes are so kind and gentle hosts we couldn't recommend this more. Their English is very limited so just make sure you download a translator app if you don't have data (there's no WiFi). The amenities are basic and you get electricity from around 6:30pm-10:30pm but for us, this only added to its charm. When we passed other homestays, we were always grateful for picking Efenli.

Very nice and helpful staff, good food. They can also help arrange trips for snorkeling or bird watching. Big rooms, air-con and fan 24/7. Many birds in the resort area also.

Amazing place and amazing people :)

Beautiful location. Everybody is so kind and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay here. The view is breathtaking 😍 I stayed for a week and was sad when I had to leave. I enjoyed the dives with divemaster Abang. The food was delicious. Bucket showers and back to basics, I really loved the entire experience so much! Thank you Herman, Nani, Abang and the rest of the staff for such an amazing stay on Kri Iskand! 🙏🥰

This Homestay has such lovely bungalows and lots of space to relax. My bungalow looks like a bungalow a resort! And it was very comfy, provided a lot of places to hang things which is very helpful for the divers. The shower and toilets were clean enough. All the staff don’t really speak English but they are all very kind. Mario always responded on time and he provided the wayag trip at the most reasonable price. Thank you so much for making my wish to wayag come true.

We recently returned home after a wonderful five night stay in one of Nyande's over the water bungalows Nyande is well deserving of it's high rating. The owner Andy has put meticulous thought and care into covering all the bases when he designed the place. His staff was always buzzing around taking care of the bungalows, surrounding grounds, and preparing some of the most delicious meals we had during our entire month in Indonesia. The reef directly in front is beautiful and continued to be even more so as we snorkeled east towards and past the village. Heck, it was also gorgeous heading west past the other home stays as well. The night sky visible from our deck was magnificent! It felt perfectly safe to leave all of the doors and windows open as we slept which felt magical. We will highly recommend Nyande to others and sincerely look forward to returning.

Hosted by Mama Julia and Kk Mothy, we had an incredible experience at shady homestay for two days. Arrived on Tuesday afternoon, Julia and Mothy picked us up at Waisai. Storm was raging but they prepared everything so our big bags were not wet. Even though waves were very high, Timothy mastered ocean and found our way through the waves. We were then welcomed by the rest of the family with a delicious tea time and snorkeled in front of the homestay, lost in the small satellite islands around Gam island. The place is peaceful, quiet, and extremely beautiful in the middle of nowhere in the Raja Ampat : a Lunar experience. On Wednesday, Timothy and Julia organized us a fabulous daytrip around Gam Island between Sawingrai village, light water, labyrinth mangroves, magical reefs, caves, view points, snorkelings, painted hands geopark famous site, hidden bays, beach walk, coconut… everything was perfect and made very friendly and warm welcoming by Julia, and very fun with Timothy’s talents to drive the boat as a sports car driver in tight ways and hard turnovers ! We left on Thursday after another little trip with Timothy for a batcave and snorkeling morning. We saw everything with them : lots of reef fishes and bigger fishes, manta, dolphins, blacktop sharks, turtles … and even the rarest and endemic Wobbegong shark. What made the experience different and fantastic is the kindness of this whole family working together and making everything seem effortless and great even though it could be hard work for them. Shady Homestay is THE PLACE TO BE for visiting Gam island with the fun experience on board with Timothy and the warm welcome and comfort of the delicious food provided by Julia and their family. THANK YOU SO MUCH. We will definitely come back.
