Homestays in Indonesia

"Staff were great. Breakfast and dinner were fabulous. Room was great."

I slept in the loft which was a little hot and stuffy. My mums slept downstairs The tariff was expensive.

"Beautiful house and garden. Lot of trees. Nice pool. Room was comfortable. Back up generator for powercuts was great. Quiet area, close to the sea. Nice owner."

When arrive, bed sheets were used. We needed to change them ourselves. No cleaning servise. The mainhouse kitchen was only allowed for small cooking like eggs. If wanted to cook food, needed to go outside kitchen. There was no fan or pots, all needed to take there from main kitchen. Very unconvinient and hot to cook there. We were accused from staff and other customer stealing her mobile. Phone was found in her room where she had put it under her blanket. That really upset us. Owners were nice thou and apologize us.

"I enjoyed the stay here, thanks to the friendly and welcoming people and encounters with authentic lakeside life. The local style food was a highlight, especially the grilled butterfish from Lake Malawi, which was cooked perfectly right in front of my eyes. I really appreciated the clear instructions for arriving by public transport — getting there from Lilongwe turned out to be an interesting local experience in itself and made the journey feel much more connected to everyday Malawi life. While the property itself has - as the name says - a mainstream design and does not strongly reflect local character, there are plenty of authentic places to explore nearby. With the help of a local motorbike driver, I visited Lifuwu fishing village, which was lively, genuine and worth seeing. Overall, a comfortable lakeside stay with good food, helpful staff and great opportunities to get to know real Malawi just beyond the property!"

"The property is very wrongful and the property owner they are all helpful. The whole island was very wonderful."

"Henrique and his wife are great people including his workers. Great attention to detail. My wife and I always looked forward to breakfast. I'm not surprised they're so highly regarded on booking.com. Great job. Keep it up."

Can't fault them on anything.

"Hello The room is in a good area and close to the sea and access to everything is good, but the shower faucet needs to be changed"

"Fernando and Ángel were super nice and friendly! It's a room at their house and like a homestay. Thank you for your hospitality ! The only downside was the mosquitoes 🫠"

"The host and her granddaughter who helped with my stay were amazing. The host picked me up in the city and brought me to St Marys and again to the airport in the morning. The traffic was terrible leaving Quito, I felt sorry for the host dealing with it. I was a little concerned that the dogs and other guests might continue making noise throughout the night but that wasn't the case. You are certainly aware of your proximity to the airport as you can hear planes over head. The 'village' is spotlessly clean and well maintained."

I wish there gad been an option to pay with credit card, but I get it.

"Very helpful owner, Jose. He was very kind and welcoming throughout our stay. We also had access to a fully equipped kitchen, which was extremely convenient and made our stay much more comfortable. Only 15 min. away from skiing resort Romme Alpin. Highly recommended!"

"Sehr sauberes Zimmer und freundlicher Empfang. Schönes Haus in ruhiger Gegend und für unsere Zwecke optimal gelegen."

Ich persönlich bin kein Freund von Gemeinschaftsbad und -küche (war aber unmissverständlich so deklariert ;-) ).

"The room was great and very spacious. The homeowner is super nice and easy to talk to."

The only thing that slightly annoyed me on arrival was that there wasn’t an electrical socket right next to the bed, even though it did say that on the booking site. But that’s a small thing.

"Everything! The host Mishko was there all the time, on call for everything. We're more than glad that he and his wife waited and assisted with the directions even though we arrived after 10 pm. The house is on the beach, in a quiet neighborhood-terrific if you want to relax. The view of the lake can not be described with words. There is a market at the next street open on Sunday. The place is worth more than the price."

"Friendly and helpful hosts, well-equipped little studio with a kitchenette and a balcony at the entrance, location convenient for driving to Murten, Bern, etc."

If you are a light sleeper, you might find the noise from the road (10m away) and the railway behind it excessive, as well as noise from the next door neighbours with small kids, etc.

"The hosts are the most welcoming and nice people. They are very friendly, helping and responsive. We felt very welcomed here. The room was very nice with vintage furniture that has this wonderful specific scent of a vintage furniture. Wonderfully decorated, the room and the kitchen create very warm feeling. Anna Christina was even willing to help us with the breakfast and charged very generously for it. And her husband helped me with the luggage because I damaged my back recently. Thank you so much for your help and hospitality!"

"Very comfortable, spacious, and private. Location was safe, gated, and welcoming. Sitting areas, balcony, and kitchen were available. The hosts were just simply AMAZING. We so enjoyed spending time with them and conversing as we were able. Issa welcomed us with a big smile and much kindness. They were also very helpful to us concerning food for our brief stay. We cannot recommend Issa’s House more highly. We loved it, and them."

Nothing to dislike.

"Nice sea view from the room, location's not far from restuarant in village"

-common kitchen area is so small

"Lovely home in great location. More breakfast options would have been good"

"Malaki and his family were great hosts! Very helpful and friendly. Sorted out lots of things for us with no fuss, even though we booked last minute and had limited planning. We had some good laughs! Good view of volcano, and hear the rumbling! Simple and authentic ni-Van accommodation."

Malaki still had a few things to finish... eg switching for solar lights and some plumbing... but we were 2nd guests, so it will be more complete for next guests

"Very spacious, nice facilities for families and friends and the host & staff were super nice and helpful"

"The place felt so homely I almost forgot I was away from home. The ambience? Absolutely toptier, The location.. definitely stunning.. tucked inside a beautiful and very secure neighborhood. And then there’s Fridah, our host… honestly, she’s a gem. So kind, so warm, so down to earth, she's the kind of host you wish every trip came with...I’m not even kidding, we were low-key heartbroken when it was time to leave💔 I wish we could’ve stretched that stay forever. This is one place I’ll always run back to whenever I’m in Msa for sure...no hesitation, no second thoughts"

A little too diluted shower gel
