Short version: Now that was amazing! Perfect, freshly cooked food in a huge variety, a solo bungalow in a pretty garden and two lovely hosts who did everything to make our stay perfect! If you come with a child, even better - this is a very child friendly place to say the least! Long version: I spent 5 nights at Loh Jinawi with my 7-year-old son. The hosts, Vera and Gehard, are incredibly lovely and made us feel like family. They also didn't mind taking care of my son when I went diving! And he loved them, too. He had lots of fun with Gehard and the kids in the village, he didn't miss me at all. Vera cooks phantastic indonesian meals, the portions are generous, we were never able to finish it all (ok, if you are two hungry grown up men, you probably could ;) Gehard grilled fish for us twice for dinner. Imagine freshly grilled Mahi-Mahi with veggies, sambal, corn fritters and rice! Delicious!! The room/bungalow is huge and the garden is pretty and offers a lot of privacy. The water pressure in the shower is low, as expected in Indonesia, but there is a big bucket of water to shower with, so everybody gets clean (and taking showers from the bucket was extra fun for my kid!) The aircon worked well, the bed was comfortable and everything was clean and well maintained, so nothing to complain about. It's also very quiet due to the location outside the village. As for activities, the number one is diving and snorkelling, of course. Snorkelling is possible from the beach (which has mangroves) depending on the tide - but Gehard was also willing to take us out a little bit on his boat and went snorkelling together with us (again - fun for my kid. you notice the pattern?) Vera and Gehard have a shop in the village, a laundry service and scooter rental. You can also rent fins for snorkelling. Virtually everything you could need on this island is covered by them (and when you need medical support, they will organize it as well). (I ran out of space, so I resume the positive things here. there are no negative things, so you can stop looking for them) We were sad when we had to leave and we hope that we can visit this place and the beautiful, warmhearted people there again one day! I wish I had an uncle like Gehard for my son here. Thank you for everything and see you again!

You’re in the right place if you want the most authentic and wonderful family to welcome you, a beautiful garden, a clean room, and a non‑salty water shower, which is rare on the island. We had a great dolphin and snorkeling excursion all day with Gehard, who made the most of it. His wife cooks superbly and the food is rich and varied. Undoubtedly the best guest house in Bunaken.

As mentioned in earlier reviews, the food is amazing. Usually when I go to places that promise a lot, I lose weight, but here I actually gained a little. Gehard is friendly and keeps his promises. The accommodation is a single house that’s well maintained. A key feature is that the water isn’t salty. In the village it’s hard to wash, but here it’s fine. The sea is very accessible; you can walk straight to the beach at the Timur 1 site. When you snorkel you see turtles and eagles flying, trawlers moving, stingrays under the coral, and countless butterfly fish like dust. I want to come back. The only downside? The noise from the neighboring house; the auto‑bike sounds are loud.

From the first moment at Loh Jinawi Guest House we felt incredibly comfortable. Vera and Gehard are very warm, loving, and helpful hosts who are flexible and try to make everything possible. You don’t feel like staying in a typical accommodation, but rather like staying with friends. The food was excellent, and we appreciated being able to choose when to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everything was freshly prepared daily with different dishes. Vera is a great cook and we always looked forward to meals. With Gehard we also did a dolphin and snorkeling tour, and we were lucky to see dolphins and countless turtles while snorkeling—a memorable experience. Vera and Gehard make you feel truly welcome; their friendly and personal style made our stay in Bunaken special. We would return anytime and wholeheartedly recommend Loh Jinawi Guest House. We wish them all the best and hope all their plans come true. As Gehard would say: “Slowly slowly :D.” The only small drawback was the very low water pressure in the shower. Using the provided water bucket with a ladle is best, but it didn’t affect our stay.
