Accommodations in Tapokreng

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They helped us organize everything we needed. Also food was the best we ever had and the whole property is very nice. Also house reef is great!

Staff friendly, place clean, they did what they said they'd do, arranged pick ups, return tickets on ferry. They put in a ladder at the end of the dock so swimmers could enjoy the reef on low tide. Reef was nice.

Scuba diving base of Scuba Republic with opportunity to div e and to snorkel from the pier.

A truly wonderful destination. Great house reef, great food, beautiful scenery, and a very nice and thoughtful owner that really cares about his guests' experience.

Very good location. Both road access and boat access available. Good restaurant. Very friendly staff. Great views. Many snorkeling spots

Last minute decision to go for 4 days from Jakarta. All the 4/5 star dive resorts were full. But I think this turned out to be much better value. Very peaceful over water bungalow (upgraded to one with balcony). Arranged great diving and blue river trip with Olin Dive centre (Milo was a great instructor). And amazing early morning trip to see birds of paradise. Patricia did a great job organising everything though there was some confusion about prices due to being sent an out of date and incomplete price list. Suggest to double check. Well cooked Indonesian food; nicely varied for a 4 day stay. If it was a week I might want something different and a beach. Great snorkelling underneath the room!

It wasn’t the typical beach huts that all look the same. I actually felt like I was staying on someone’s property.

Service was excellent, facilities and location were very nice as was the food.

Very comfortable. Friendly staff. Good food. Nice house reef. Was our first stop in Raja Ampat and we enjoyed our stay there. AC was great to have in the room and it gets quite toasty.

Privilege Location, front beach with access to the most beautiful corals

Beautiful location, delicious food, friendly and helpful staff.

I booked 8 days here. I went diving for three days on the Pulau Gam and snorkeled daily on Friwen. They are about a 10 mins boat ride. The Homestay is rustic. There are two beds covered with mosquito net. They are totally fine but somehow one would get in every night. It’s an island at the equator, there are mosquitoes. Also geckos! That’s part of the adventure. The room has an interior slide lock and there’s a clipping lock with a key for locking when you’re away. Honestly I never locked my place. The island seems very safe. Kids playing, most of the folks on the island are involved in tourism, though they don’t speak much English. It wasn’t an issue. I traveled solo and spent most afternoons in the hammock, reading, writing or napping. The food was amazing, delicious, the cook is very sweet and calls you to breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fresh fish is caught daily. Vegetables and rice, very delicious and all included. Large quantities. Box lunches are available if you are diving all day. Bananas are snacks. Unlimited instant coffee, tea, hot water. The island is stunning. Sunsets amazing. The reef has more life to see while snorkeling than most places (Europe, Caribbean, US, Latin America) have to see while scuba diving! I saw turtles, squid, dolphins playing, reef sharks and millions of coral. A not about cash and other fees: you will need ~140,000 to take a ferry from Sorong to Waisai. Then you’ll need 600,000 to ride each way from Waisai to Friwen (this can be divided with others, provided there are other riders.). On Waisai, you’ll have to buy a Marine Park pass and an entry pass, in total 1,000,000. So you’ll need around 2,250,000 in cash (be prepared bc the pass can be purchased online, or card but sometimes their system is down and you have to pay cash). In Sorong airport there are four ATMs, most of them don’t work well. There are ATMs on Waisai but you have to ride a motorcycle to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Very comfortable huts right on one of the nicest beaches on Friwen! Food was good and varied and we never felt like anyone had to go hungry. They even have a fridge in the back where it is possible to buy cold sodas or beer. The staff speaks good english and one evening they arranged for us to go and see coconut crabs on a nearby island! I went out a couple of mornings to scuba dive with a nearby dive center, and they usually made sure breakfast was prepared a bit earlier, to make it on time for the pickup boat for diving. All in all I can really recommend this place and would absolutely stay here again!

Very close to harbor and pick up was free. Beautiful large room with comfortable beds. Great warm shower. Large windows looking to the mangroves. Beautiful and peaceful. Great restaurant attached to facility with outstanding service and food. Owner brought us coffee out on the long attached community deck every morning. We enjoyed sitting out there on many occasions. Sunsets are beautiful. Very nice family run homestay. They can arrange outings. Bird hike, blue river, etc. We did not have any issues with mosquitoes or sand flies. Nice walks to see locals folks. We stayed 3 nights.
