The most racist hotel for common people
Reviewed By Joni CI trust the review about this hotel..but when i stayed..the hotel full with government official ..wife of the minister tito. So what happened? I can only eat dinner and breakfast at the room. Thats fine..but the food they serve me is staff food. Only chicken and tempe..while on the buffet the official and her team eat all nice seafood..thats settle for dinner. Even coffee time..they dont serve anything..but the vip guests bring their own snacks. Thats not the end.. As i went trekking early am and back quiet late..i just found out that they serve my wife only leftover noodles and bread. The waiter didnt even notice our breakfast hasnt been delivered. The kitchen just said all gone already. If not for our tourguide argue and request..not even noodle gonna be serve.. So i had late breakfast adn ask them to cook the noodle which i brought..instead of giving extra service for that mistreatment..they even charge 20.000 rupiah for the eggs.. unbeliveable..management policy. This is a great hotel..but honestly..i wont be back..i dont aceept this kind of treatment. Even if vipguests came..their treatment really unacceptable. Strangely as my tour guide reserved and then cancel one night..they still charged her 2 nights stay. Management policy... If u come without vip maybe u wont being annoy by this mistreatment..but if paid 2 nights for one night stay and only eat chicken money and noodle for breakfsat....no matter how good is the room adn the view..this is the shittest hotel management ever. I will never stay here anymore.

Simplicity at its finest
Reviewed By NatanyomanWe traveled with another family to PapuArts and thoroughly enjoyed this small getaway. Timon and Helga, the owners, go out of their way to make everyone feel at home. It's a friendly, family atmosphere and one of the best aspects is the dining area complete with sandy floor, it's a great place where guests hang out and get to know one another. Some of the rooms are directly over the water which is great if you want to be amongst nature.
3. Raja Ampat Dive Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 87 reviews
Raja Ampat Dive Lodge (RADL) is located on the island of Mansuar in the Dampier Strait off South of Waigeo and North of Batanta. It is strategically positioned in the heart of the most spectacular dive sites of Northern Raja Ampat. A short boat ride takes you to the famous manta aggregation site of Manta Ridge and the fish tornadoes off Cape Kri. RADL is built along the fine white sands of Yenpapir Beach and backs into a pristine tropical rainforest. The resort stretches across the cove with the nearest village a 20 minute walk away. Small mangrove clusters provide shelter for many juveniles and the reef in front of the resort is a heaven for snorkelers. The beach fronting the resort is extremely child friendly with a gently sloping beach and crystal clear waters that calmly caresses the shore. Comfortably designed with ecological awareness coupled with Balinese artistry, RADL offer divers and holiday makers a practical, comfortable and affordable diving and snorkeling environment
Paradise :)
Reviewed By 901maiagThis is paradise! Is a fantastic resort, in the middle of nature with an amazing sea view from the room and sunset! We took the snorking package of 1 week and our guide and the crew was friendly and always willing to help on our needs ( allowed us to stay more in our favorites places) At the resort the chef cooked for us special meals ( no spicy and more into western) and all the staff were willing to help us. The rooms have ac and hot water. Everything worked perfect! Thank you pak Henry and all the staff for the amazing week we had!

Amazing experience on a private island
Reviewed By enindoTabari is the only hotel/Eco lodge on this small paradise island: white sand beaches, coconut palms, healthy and varied corals... We spent almost a week there, a Robinson adventure with all the extra comforts: enjoyed a large brand new bungalow,l with is own bathroom, excellent and very varied meals, cocktails with a breathtaking sunset view??... By far the best value for money we have found in Raja Ampat. The snorkeling right in front of the bungalows is exceptional ??????: sharks, turtles, fish galore, humpback parrots... Jeff and his team made us discover the many dive sites around the island and in the rest of the archipelago (Pyianemo...): Mantas, barracudas, napoleons, trevallies, nudibranchs... We will keep the memory of this wonderful welcome for a long time.

6. Waisai Beach Hotel

Worked well for us PLUS LOCATION IN TOWN!
Reviewed By RCJOWaisai is a nice town. The residents are not jaded by tourists (yet) as they see them with less frequency than other locations in Indonesia. Simply stated, they are wonderful. All the children say hello and approach often to ask your name and where you are from. Being there in the beginning of December allowed us to see the Christmas parade and train that takes children around town. Magical in so many ways as you can't help but smile when a parade such as this has Mickey Mouse and the much beloved Hello Kitty. And the train is totally lit up with lights and smiles. Beautiful. Most everyone that shows up in Waisai heads out to a resort. Many of the remainder head to home stays in nearby islands or away from town. These can be nice but we don't do well with being so contained. We did a live aboard here in Raja Ampat and then dove with Olin Dive Center in town for another week. The hotel is very situated in town as it is a short walk to the beach, is very close to the wonderful daily market, close to grocery stores and near to the dive shop. We came to stay for 4 days but stayed the week. Rooms are clean and air-conditioned. They are large, have television and provide a breakfast (included in price). Out back there are clothes lines for use. Not much English is spoken but translation apps made life easy. Staff are very nice! At a moments notice the staff set us up with the town's tourist representative (Husna) to help us out with a great deal including getting to Wayag and also seeing the Red, as well as Wilson's, bird of paradise. The hotel was less expensive than the hostel where another diver stayed. We are unsure if we will return for a third visit to Raja but if we do, we will definitely stay at this hotel again as the the place is nice and the town it is in is wonderful.

Swiss-Belhotel Sorong is the first 4 star international hotel in the chartered coastal city of Sorong, the eastern Indonesian province of West Papua. It’s a gateway to Indonesia's Raja Ampat Islands. The hotel is strategically located in the heart of the city, and only 10 minutes drive from Domine Edward Osok Airport and the Port of Sorong, allowing easy access to central business and the government
Decent
Reviewed By tungkyDecent transit hotel. Small room. Fast checkin. Ameneties is incomplete for a 4* hotel. Cleanliness is okay. Very close to the port and airport. You dont have much choice in Sorong, and this is the best for 1 day transit between flights and raja ampat.
8. Sareni Raja Ampat
Overall Ratings

Sareni is our new cottage Villa in Arefi Birie Island, Raja Ampat. Located at the heart of Raja Ampat, Sareni is surrounded by spectacular wonders above and beyond its waters, as well as on land and amidst the thick jungles. A place beyond the reach of stressful modern life, a realm of complete relaxation with bliss to be found amid white sands and azure seas.
Wonderful accomodation and Staff
Reviewed By JT1232020I had a brief but very enjoyable stay at the Sareni Raja Ampat back in March of this year. Unfortunately my planned stay of a week only ended up being 48 hours due to a mad scramble home as borders rapidly closed due to the Pandemic. The newly built accommodation sits in a tranquil and stunning bay about 1.30-2hrs from Sorong on an occasionally bumpy boat ride. The cabins over the water are very comfortable and are a great mid range option in a beautiful part of Raja Ampat. The bed was excellent and the room benefitted from both a ceiling fan and air con. The cabin was not 100% sealed to the elements so expect a visit from a bug or two but I slept just fine without a mosquito net. Slide open the front doors in the morning and you'll hear amazing bird song, and the splashing of fish swimming in the crystal clear water. It's magical. Snorkelling from the pier is excellent. Tasty & plentiful food was provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mostly spicy fish, rice & fried bananas - you won't go hungry. Bring any extra supplies such as snacks & beer from Sorong as there is nothing around. Mobile phone signal / data can accessed via a 2 minute scramble up a (steep) hill behind the property, this meant a great balance between disconnecting from the world but still being able to get your news fix if you need it. Staff were wonderful and were happy to arrange boat trips to watch Manta Ray's and a waterfall. One small area for improvement was that as a guest you have to know about and ask for these trips, so do a bit of research beforehand. I would the resort to get a book together of local trips the can organise for divers/non divers. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay again. I am especially thankful for their help and flexibility in arranging a trip back to Sorong within one hour notice!

Niet meer wat het hoort te zijn
Reviewed By J3350LEadrianaHelaas een hele grote teleurstelling. Niet meer wat het hoorde te zijn. Alles van de foto’s op de site is aanwezig maar word geen gebruik meer van gemaakt. Allemaal locals ingetrokken. We hebben hier 1 nacht geslapen en zijn de volgende de dag gauw vertrokken! Dit terwijl we voor een week hadden geboekt. Geen Engels sprekenden mensen aanwezig. Geen activiteiten te doen. Erg vies.
