Aldejus Homestay

The location was good.

“Irresponsabili, non sono capaci di organizzare transfer Waisai in tempo utile”

The kitchen was tasty, but the staff couldn't coordinate transfer times with the Waisai‑Sorong ferry and connecting flights, which is crucial for a hospitality venue.

“Irresponsabili”

The kitchen offered a varied and tasty menu, but they cannot handle transfers—which already cost 30–40 % more than other homestays—in sync with tourists’ departures; this is far more important than any other issue because transportation in Raja Ampat relies solely on the reliability of homestays.

“Great home stay on laidback Friwen, recommended!”

The spot was ideal and the team, especially Helga who cooked wonderfully, were incredibly helpful; snorkeling along Friwen wall is a must, and although the facilities are basic, everything needed, including hot showers, is available.

“Terrible experience”

The food was excellent and the restaurant offered a lovely view; Friwen Wall is a fantastic snorkeling spot, though you can also reach it from another homestay on a different island. We encountered awful issues with trips and transport: on day one we waited all afternoon for a snorkeling excursion, but the boat operator was unavailable, so we missed it; on day three we rose at 4.30 am for a bird‑watching tour, yet no one appeared, leaving us stranded again. When we tried to return from Friwen to Waisei to catch the ferry—despite ordering it the day we arrived—nothing was ready that morning (no fuel, the captain still asleep, etc.). Worse, the rough sea forced us onto a small boat lacking a spare engine and fuel reserve; the engine failed en route, and we feared for our lives until another small boat rescued us to Waisei harbour. The owner showed no concern, never appeared, and the photos on the booking site depict his house, not the rooms we received. Overall, the place is poorly maintained, and there are far better options in Ampat Raya.
