This is a real home stay, probably the best in West Sumatra. The family members are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We could only stay three nights and wished we could stay longer. The rooms are clean, basic, and comfortable.

Bayu, the owner, is a studied Anthropologist, and has got very close relationships with original Mentawai people. Besides of that, he represents the best of a Homestay by a warm personal and inviting atmosphere to his guests.

The location is not far from city centre. The place is spotlessly clean.

I loved the location, you really get a sense of local life. It's a neighbourhood just outside the city (at best a $3 Gojek ride into the centre or cheaper if you take local transport) and there is a school. Food here is cheap, and everyone is so friendly asking if you're staying with Jenny and Bayu. Wifi is fast. And Jen is fantastic for information from a foreigner perspective and Bayu is a guide and knows so much. Both are so friendly and accommodating. Because I love food they organized a cooking class with a woman around the corner and Jen came along to translate. We first went to the market, where everyone wanted to stop, chat, take selfies and then I was amazing at the cooking. Neighbours came by to chat and more selfies! This is really a special experience.

One of the nicest homstays I have ever been. Room is a bit small but really comfortable, everything is there what you need. All is perfectly organized and the hosts are so friendly! We had a really nice stay there and felt very welcome! Can totally recommend.

Padang homestay was great place to stop for an evening en route to the Mentawai Island. The rooms were comfortable - we slept well - and it was walking distance from food, laundry and other essential shops. Hosts were helpful and kind. I would’ve loved to stay another night or two and explored Padang.

- Good location with everything for daily needs either close by or just a short Grab ride away - Room was well equipped and very clean - Although we didn't meet the official owners, the family of them that lives on the property is extremely nice and always willing to help. The brother helped us to buy mosquito spray for an upcoming trip and the family was storing our bags for us free of charge while we were on the Mentawai island.
