Three Ken was a really nice surprise. It is located at the prime location in Bunaken, first row. The two rooms are next to each other above the restaurant. The family is a super friendly, they get you everything organized. But the best is really the food, prepared by Mama Inge; really well cooked food with veggies, mostly fish - fresh tuna was the best - not this deep fried stuff… In the evenings the locals always played music, some tourists were joining - big fun! Full recommendation from our side (we stayed there 5 nights, extending our stay in Bunaken) had both rooms: one for my wife and me and one for our two kids.

Two lovely adjacent bungalows in front of the beach in the village with a shared porch with a dining table and relax chairs. The host Mamalis made amazing varied food, some of the best we’ve had in Indonesia. Papa Sem has a boat for snorkeling and dolphin tours. The atmosphere is calm, close to the pier and two diving schools. Communication in English is done through Stefen, who runs a nearby homestay. He is very friendly, like Mamalis and Papasem, whom you can talk to in Indonesian and through translation apps.

We had a great stay with Naca and his husband. They help us with everything, we arrive to Manado the independence day of Indonesia and there wasn't boats to Bunaken. We contact them and they get a private boat for us(not expensive). When we arrive to the island she was waiting for us on the pier. The room is a really cute and clean bungalow 1min walking from the sea. Get the pack of food with her, it's 150k per person, 3 meals and each meal with 3-4 different dishes. We try other places and the food wasn't even close to the food that she prepare( proper Indonesian food, not for tourist). Thanks for this amazing days, we will be back for sure!

The owner of the homestay is a gardener at heart, which becomes immediately clear once you pass through the tunnel from the main road and find a huge, terraced garden with a river and bridge and lots of colorful flowers, trees and bushes. The bungalows in this garden are comfortably furnished with lots of wood, carvings and wickerwork and all have an inviting veranda. The restaurant is not yet fully green, but serves outstanding food, healthy, unusual and plentiful, even for vegetarians.

    First, just lovely people, Franky was just great, helpful, kind, reasonable priced trips and the best value place to stay. The ladies were lovely, food was great, sometimes exceptional, beer reasonable priced and a great location. I was fortunate in having a room at the front with 2 beds so it was roomy and comfortable. Just a great place to stay... No hesitation in recommending this Homestay.
