Value for money homestay perfect for divers. Located just outside the centre of Waisai, with a rental scooter you can quickly reach your chosen dive centre and local restaurants etc. Wawan the owner is efficient and friendly, so if you don’t ride a bike, he will sort your transportation for a good price. Breakfast is fine (omelette, toast, fruit), served by Cino who cleans the rooms etc, and is usually on hand to deal with any problems you might have.

The rooms are big, but very outdated. Showering is rather difficult because there is no showerhead and bucket bathing is not easy either because there is nothing to scoop the water from. It's okay for one night, but if you are looking for sth a bit more comfortable after having spent some time in bungalows, I wouldn't recommend this place. The staff is really friendly and helpful though!

We just love this place. The hotel crew offers such a personal service and great hospitality. Rooms are simple, clean, spacious and have very comfortable super big kingsize beds. A/C worked fine. Food was very good. We enjoyed a great New Years Party. Water dispenser and coffee/tea for free. Snorkeling at house reef is brilliant - everything passing by, even black tips and dolphins, turtle, barkuda schools … Diving and snorkeling excursion worked fine with Olin Dive Center which is 5min by car for check-in/out. They pick you up at Vogelkopf pier. You can hire a scooter for good price 14 USD/day incl petrol and explore the wonderful island (go to city farmer+fish market and village Sapokren). Excursion to Blue River or great early morning activity -> paradise bird watching. All organized by Vogelkopf team. Just perfect! You may upgrade to an waterbungalow and become one with the sea - only birds singing, just silence, just a dream.

Fellow travelers, this is an absolute bargain, trust me! Pedro is as nice as a host can be, always paying attention to the details so that we had the best experience we could. The accommodation, although not in the centre of Waisai, is not far and the porch has outstanding views of the bay. Moreover, the bed is comfortable and big, the bathroom is well equipped and the AC brings a luxurious touch compared to some of the other guest houses. In terms of the food, they serve both breakfast and dinner included in the price and they're both varied and delicious. If you want to have a beer watching the sunset, you can also buy them directly from Pedro. Finally, he rents motorbikes and happens to know all the necessary people to make the experience of Waisai truly complete. To sum up, this place exceeded our expectations and we feel that it will be much busier once more reviews will pop up, as he only opened it in August 2025.

Pedro is amazing. He met me at the ferry terminal and took me to his guest house. The room was spacious with ensuite bathroom and Aircon which was incredible for the price. It was very clean, had a wonderful communal area with a library, tea, coffee and water station, and deck with a fantastic view back to town. Breakfast and dinner were included which was an added bonus. Pedro helped organise transport to the blue river which was very convenient and well priced and was very helpful with information about the area. And he even dropped me to the ferry when I left! Incredible service. Everything was amazing for a quick stopover in Waisai. I would definitely stay again. Thanks Pedro!

Not only did the accommodation exceed our expectations, our host also went above and beyond to ensure our stay in the area everything we wanted it to be. I can honestly say our time there wouldn’t have been half as good if it wasn’t for Husna, she knew all the right people across the region. I can’t recommend this place highly enough, so much so I wouldn’t bother searching for any other accommodation when I eventually return.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Raflow Resort for 5 nights and we’ve had a lovely time! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The staff will go the extra mile to make sure you have a fabulous and memorable stay in paradise. If you let them know what activities you would like to do, they will organize it for you. The food is phenomenal; everyday there is a selection of fresh fish, chicken, rice, various vegetables and fresh fruit. The rooms are clean and comfortable (soft bed, hot shower, spacious) and the AC is a real plus, we didn’t encounter any mosquitos. Overall a great place to stay a couple nights to explore Waigeo!
