Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Airborei

This homestay on Besir island is ideally located near several interests spots in Raja Ampat. The place is calm, only two cabins on the water, connected to a village full of charm. The utilities are on the beach, near the owner's house. It's very clean and has everything required to answer basic needs. Regarding the rooms, mosquito net on the bed, fan, electricity at night, blankets, hammock, sunbed and basic furnitures. All the meals (included in the reservation) are served to your cabin, they vary and are prepared by an great cook! So everything is tasteful and good. No connection except if you get a SIM card on arrival at Sorong's airport but deconnection is great. It's easy to communicate with the owner who speaks well English (rare in Raja Ampat) and he tries his best for you to have the best stay possible. Him and his family are super nice and welcoming while respecting your privacy. I came with a friend and we stayed 3 full days, we had an amazing time there and we can only recommend this place. All the activities we've done through them were memorable, we had a lot of fun. Have a good holiday there!

The hosts Paulus (Pablo) and his wife are so friendly. We even changed our flights back so we would stay here longer. The name is now Raja Ampat Blue Sea. Food is amazing. One of the only homestays in Raja Ampat we know of that has a private bathroom. Also has power for much longer than other places. The reef is also incredible. We saw two walking sharks, two boxfish and a cuttlefish the first time we explored. Paulus also organised snorkeling gear for us. They also have a cuscus that regularly visits us, something that we didn't see at any of the other homestays. The village is also walking distance if you need to get anything. The tours that they organised were amazing. The price was also way less than we paid at some of the other homestays. Cell signal with Telkomsel was also very good. Everything was simply amazing!

Loved it! The accommodation is amazing, with a great view the whole day! The staff is super friendly and took us on many different excursions around Gam. Thank you Aron 🙌🏼

Great rustic experience with fab staff

We absolutely loved our stay at Beser Bay. The bungalows are located in a beautiful spot, slightly tucked away but with amazing sunset views. The bungalows are large and spacious and very comfortable. Power is limited (6pm-midnight), but that’s plenty of time to re-charge phones, cameras, etc. We were always able to get good cell service (we had Telkomsel SIM cards). We loved how quiet it was here eg you don’t hear music from nearby villages etc so it’s very peaceful. The food was insanely good, to the point that if they released a cook book I would buy it. The food varied each night, with lots of veg cooked in different and delicious ways. Plenty of fish, plus eggs and chicken. Highlight were the 4pm snacks like cakes from the village or their home made chocolate donuts or banana puffs for breakfast. We never went hungry here..! Excursions were reasonably priced (bring a ton of cash) - we loved visiting Citrus Ridge and Aulin Reef were maybe the highlights. House reef is worth doing (we saw nudibranches) - hard to snorkel there at low tide but you just have to time when you go in and otherwise do excursions or just read a good book. We did the red bird of paradise tour from here - definitely worth it (just bring a ton of repellent). If you need to find more people for a tour, walk to the Homestay around the corner / rock and join their tours or get guests there to join yours. You also see baby rays and sharks swimming around the bungalows. Hosts were so lovely and friendly - we liked that they left us to ourselves most of the time but if we had questions or wanted a chat, so they were around.

Simply the best homestay we visited in Raja Ampat, it has an extra touch overs the other homestays: walking paths are well kept, every room has it's water outside, the restaurant deck on the water is wonderful, rooms are new with a mesmerizing view. House reef is one of the best we have seen in RA (just pay attention to the currents!). Moreover Mario is an excellent host and helps create a great atmoshpere, he has several boats and offers the chepeast tours around.

This is by far the best accomodation we've been in the area. Resort style facilities without the high resort price tag or crowd. It's more expensive than a homestay but the price difference is definitely worth it if you want comfort or a beautiful accomodation. We stayed in the overwater villa and it was great, very clean, wifi, electricity, felt just like being in a 4 star hotel. Staff is very friendly, excursions great and they are very helpful with anything that you need. Reef is amazing (lots of fish, turtles, moray and occasional black tips and white tips), overall a 10 out of 10 experience.

Everything! The best of 5 places we stayed in RA. Clean bathroom, spacious room with comfortable bed.terracce with two big sunbeds. Nice position. Very good food. Very nice and professional staff speaking English. Wi fi. Always possibility to go somewhere shearing the boat. The prices clear and competitive. And one of the most beautiful reef especially towards a small island between Kri and Mansuar. The diver center very professional and all divers were very satisfied.

We had an amazing stay at Gibran guest house! The bungalows are amazing on top of the water, the area is full of incredible snorkeling spots, and the trip proposed are very nice with a lovely team ! Mimi & Julia are amazing :D

Great location.Great host. He also took us and other friends from another homestay to amazing snorkelling sites.
