Lovely Homestay with good food and a friendly vibe. Risky who manages the Homestay is so friendly and organised a bonfire for our friends last night as well as all the boats we needed. He made the stay the best!

It was absolutely great! The family was amazing! They were so kind, nice and helpful. Vence, Oscar, Rio and all the rest did their best to make us comfortable. It is a veey peaceful island. The beach front bungalows were basic (Raja Ampat style homestay) but very comfortable and clean. The view from the bungalows was amazing, also wonderful sunset. The shared bathroom and toilet was always clean. Family always keep the homestay very clean. The food was great. We had different varieties and even snacks in the afternoon. They always put hot water for our tea and coffee all day. Vence speaks pretty good English and he helped us a lot for our tours. We picked here since it is closer to Wayag so we did Wayag tour with them and it was amazing! We also did snorkel tours where we saw manta too :) We absolutely recommend here to stay to go to Wayag (it takes 2 hours to go there from here).

Before coming to Raja Ampat, I had read that homestays often have basic facilities, particularly concerning room and bathroom conditions. However, I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Binmeos. The room was clean, tiled, and thoughtfully designed with netting over the large open sections to minimize rodent and insect intrusion. During my 7-day stay, I didn't encounter any rats, which was a relief. The bathroom had a shower head, was clean, and freshly painted. Overall, I had a comfortable stay in my beach hut and am grateful to Erentz, the owner. The food at Binmeos was also excellent, and they accommodated my dietary needs. There was always more food than I could eat, with a steady supply of coffee, tea, and water. Erentz's wife, April, was very kind and always willing to help with anything I needed, whether it was food, drinks, or laundry. The homestay is conveniently located between two dive centers, both less than a 5-minute walk away, and they were happy to accommodate my diving activities. The reef just steps from my door was incredible, with diverse coral and colorful fish. Binmeos also organized trips to Wayag, Piaynemo, and various fishing excursions, making my stay even more enjoyable. I only wish I could have stayed longer! Overall, Kri is a beautiful island, and Binmeos offers a cozy and tranquil homestay experience. With only a few beach huts, it provides a sense of privacy and peace, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Amazing Snorkelling or scuba diving reef right in front of the home stay ! Also very good food.
