Stefan is the best host you can possibly have - if you appreciate exceptional thoughtfulness, hospitality, caring and local knowledge. He will always take care of your needs, and help you with anything. If you are wise enough to have Stefan guide you for boat tours and to take you snorkeling, you will have the best possible time. He is patient, knows the best times to go to different places, if possible will wait for other boats to leave so you have a more personal experience with the dolphins or the turtles, etc. Stefan’s family is lovely and will make you the best meals, always respecting your dietary choices. If you are very lucky Stefan might bring out his guitar after dinner.

this homestay was really really nice. the food 3x a day (7-9am, 12.30pm, 7.30pm) is soooo good. best food i had in indonesia, and different meals each time. Helmi and his wife and family are so nice. there's even a tofu restaurant small business in the front of the homestay, very cute. it's on the beach which is great, easy to rent snorkel gear (about 50k/day) and a motorbike (also about 100k/day). right next door to Blueshark diving, Dion and Jeffrey and the crew here are awesome. The snorkeling is also nice right at the reef at the property, just swim like 50-100m out (takes 5 mins). Amazing sunsets. Room is simple. A bit hot in the mornings. There's free coffee/water/tea. Bathroom is simple, just 1 bathroom shared with 3 rooms. i hope to stay again!

the location is unbeatable, facing the south west and you can see the sunset from second floor, and it’s 1 minute walk from the ferry to and from Manado.

If you read previous reviews you will see that the staff, food and location are highly rated, as they should be. Everyone is special to the staff. This was my first time in a Homestay and they made me feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment I arrived. Marta and Mama Mhey served wonderful meals with proteins, carbs, veggies and fruits. Honestly, some of the best meals I had during my time in Indonesia. I went on fishing and snorkeling trips with the owner, Franz. He really knows his stuff. He put us on fish and turtles and some really remarkable locations. And, although I did not go diving myself this time, he did organize a dive trip for other guests. There are many Homestays on this island, but you should seriously consider this location if you want an outstanding experience and value for your money.

Very nice snorkling from the beach. The place is on the beach.

The Queens Villa is the pearl of North Sulawesi ! I’ll start with the food. You don’t eat at Queens Villa, you dine. The food is prepared from start to presentation by master chefs. They take great care and pride in their work and will always visit your table to be sure everything is excellent. They even take notice of what you don’t eat so they know what you like. Meals are served around the three tiered pool that is crisp and clean and no chlorine ! A beautiful water falls with soft lighting brings a soothing atmosphere. The property is always occupied by many artist always making wonder wood works, fountains and flora that feels like the garden of Eden. Dinners and evening are a great mix of international artist and travelers sometimes great conversations sometimes musicians playing guitars and drums, flutes and on occasion Karaoke singing! They have a complete network of drivers, guide and business people all around Sulawesi. If you don’t want to carry cash around the village and boats and on tours you can just tell them your hotel and they will send the bill to Medi and Julieanna. They can arrange any kind of tours and excursion tailored to your likes, so you don’t need to pay for packaged tours that you don’t want and at a great price. They are the only ATM on the island at this time which is really convenient. And the most important part for me is the dive shop. Local guides with eagle eyes and fantastic skills!!! Again, very wonderful prices and equipment. Indonesia in my opinion is the greatest dive sites on our planet right now and Bunaken is right up there with Raja Ampat and their reefs and dive sites are just minutes away on a boat. And for turtle lovers, this is by far the turtle haven of our planet bar none!!! My favorite by far!!!!!

Guests are spoiled here - loved the personal, friendly attention. Staff, food, facilities, diving, location... - 5-star service/resort. Their attention to detail is impeccable, setting a high standard of excellence
