Accommodation in Saonek

Korpak is a relatively straightforward resort that offers most of what you would expect in terms of comfort and service. The all-inclusive concept means that all meals are supplied, but don't expect a wide selection of options. That said every day the selection of Indonesian food is different and of good quality. The location allows for tour boats to pick you up at the hotel so there is no immediate need to stay closer to the snorkeling and diving spots if you can accept the time it takes to get there. Basically all the sights in Raja Ampat are close enough to be able to visit all of them through multiple day trips by speed boat. The staff can help you out with booking all the tours as well and payment can be arranged by hotel staff as well. While there we made use of the laundry service which was very good and reasonably priced!

The exceptionnel environment . The warm welcome The attention of the staff .

Thanks to all the truly exceptional staff Siska, Cecilia, the exceptional chef, a truly highly recommended resort

This place is absolutely beautiful and really amazing for scuba divers! The small bungalows are super cute and comfy, I was sleeping in a dorm but it really felt like a private room. The food is great and it’s super nice to have your plate ready for you when you come back from diving. The dive center is right there so you can book dives pretty much whenever you want and the dive guides are really good. As for the rest of the staff, they’re really friendly and helpful, then can arrange pretty much anything for you from ferry tickets to motorbike rental or laundry service. I highly recommend staying at this place!

My girlfriend and I stayed at Raflow Resort for 5 nights and we’ve had a lovely time! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The staff will go the extra mile to make sure you have a fabulous and memorable stay in paradise. If you let them know what activities you would like to do, they will organize it for you. The food is phenomenal; everyday there is a selection of fresh fish, chicken, rice, various vegetables and fresh fruit. The rooms are clean and comfortable (soft bed, hot shower, spacious) and the AC is a real plus, we didn’t encounter any mosquitos. Overall a great place to stay a couple nights to explore Waigeo!

Excellent location, extremely clean room and great aircon. Maria is a lovely host and excellent cook, she also runs a small bakery here. She also organised a scooter for me to explore Waisai. We were only there for a night so didn’t enquire about tours. The bathroom is very spacious, and the beds comfortable and clean. This is really a hidden gem, it’s within walking distance to the harbour so perfect for an overnight stay before heading to Raja Ampat. You can also relax on the swing on the jetty. We were so lucky to find this clean homestay! We also felt very safe as they lock the gate to the jetty and our boom in the evenings. Definitely would stay here again on the way to Raja Ampat.

Everything about this place is truly magical. The bungalow facilities are beautiful and very comfortable. I especially loved doing my early-morning Pilates on the yoga mat provided. The host and manager were outstanding, and the service was excellent throughout my stay. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated the delicious food options prepared for me. The transport was also very well organized and enjoyable.

Outstanding host is warmly welcoming and caring from first minute of arrival till departure. Simple, clean and spacious rooms with AC. Delicious handmade breakfast. Everything you need to feel comfortable. Stayed only one night but definitely worth for longer.

helpful and friendly host, comfortable bed, good air-conditioning, host serves breakfast and dinner

Husna is a very friendly and knowledgeable host, her guesthouse was a perfect place for a few days for us to visit Kalibiru, scuba dive and ride scooters to the nearby village. Husna helped us coordinate all of our activities including renting motorbikes and made excellent suggestions for nearby restaurants. Her breakfasts are delicious, AC is in the bedroom only and worked well, wifi available, and she even delivered umbrellas to us at a nearby restaurant during a rainstorm! Highly recommend staying at Sandy Guesthouse if you are in Waisai.

Best thing about Rifalda is the owner, Tonno (I hope I spell that correctly). When we needed a scooter, he drove me to a rental and got me a discount. When we wanted to go birdwatching, he arranged two trips for us where we saw both birds of paradise. When one of the guides was not able to pick us up, Tonno got up at 05:00 AM to show us the way. Thank you Tonno, you were amazing! Next to this we had the pleasure to stay in the last house next to the mangrove. From our porch we saw many amazing tropical birds pass by like parrots and kingfishers and you can enjoy the sound of chirping prettty much all day.

15 min out of town and a world away, tucked into a relaxing and magical mangrove, Villa Luzo is a great way of discovering Raja Ampat comfortably. The food was great and varied. My wife is coeliac (gluten free) and this is the only place that she could eat all the local food thanks to June, Debbie and Mega. We did a couple of tours too, which were fun and small (so really didn't feel like a tour, more like friends visiting together). Huge thank you to the owners and Mega for their flexibility in coordinating our arrival. All in all, highly recommended if you are in Raja Ampat and want some serious comfort.

It's enough of what I needed. Friendly people, 2 separate rooms with one a bed, one a couch. Close to the local market. Perfect stay for 2 people. Don't expect too much luxury but price matches

Beautiful setting, amazing food. Khoiri and Giri went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Gorgeous sunsets, lovely local reef and great contacts for surrounding dive centres if you are a solo traveller.

Excellent service, good food, air conditioning is a blessing. Good location for bird watching and doing inland trips. Nice cabins.

The rooms are big, but very outdated. Showering is rather difficult because there is no showerhead and bucket bathing is not easy either because there is nothing to scoop the water from. It's okay for one night, but if you are looking for sth a bit more comfortable after having spent some time in bungalows, I wouldn't recommend this place. The staff is really friendly and helpful though!

We loved our stay at Rara Guesthouse! The staff is lovely, supporting and generous. The room was clean, with air conditioner and also had a window. If we stay at Waisai again, we certainly will be back.

The atmosphere, the amazing food, and the cold Bintang! Came as a guest left as a friend!

Fabulous location close to dive sites. Dive masters were professional and friendly. Shout out to Ronaldo and Herman. All staff were very hard working and very caring. Yaasiel took care of our arrangements whilst there. Bella and Jolee were delightful. Arson and his boat crew handled our trip to boarding the ferry. Food was plentiful and DELICIOUS!! Cottage was clean and comfortable. (Apologies if the spelling of names is incorrect)
