Homestays in Yef Mo

This was, without a doubt, our favorite homestay in Raja Ampat. A stunning white sand beach with a vibrant, healthy reef just steps from our bungalow, perfect for snorkeling every single day. The bungalow was spacious and airy, with a large bed and one of the most comfortable mattresses we’ve had on our trip (complete with a topper!). The food was excellent — varied, plentiful, and delicious. We’re really going to miss the afternoon snacks! (Huge thanks to the lovely cook!) We also really appreciated the boat used for transfers and excursions: shaded, powerful, and ideal for reaching amazing spots like Wayag and Aljui Bay quickly and safely. Even during snorkels in strong currents, we always felt safe, someone was always in the water with us, guiding the way and pointing out the most beautiful parts of the reef with great care and attention. Ferdinand, our host, was truly outstanding, warm, helpful, on time, and incredibly professional (which really makes a difference in this part of the world). He gave us great tips for the rest of our trip near Waisai, and when no other guides were available, he personally took us to see the bird of paradise. We even had a lovely breakfast with him at the traditional Waisai market — such a special window into local life. Jou Suba isn’t just a beautiful place, it’s a genuine, heartfelt experience. Every detail is taken care of, and you feel it. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my 5 days here. I was the only guest, so I had the whole beach (several kilometres long) to myself, which was fantastic. And at night all I could hear was the soothing sound of the ocean waves. The beach is just a few seconds away from the bungalow. Because it is by the sea, the waves are quite big and the breeze is a blessing in this otherwise quite hot place. And because the beach faces west, I saw the best sunsets in Raja Amapat. As for the accommodation, it is basic, but I had everything I needed. The food was delicious. The family helped me with everything. The father took me wherever I wanted to go and even gave me some tips, which turned out to be the best snorkelling I had in the area (Napoleon Reef and Fam Wall). He even climbed a palm tree to get me a fresh coconut. So I am really happy about everything and I recommend you to visit Or Mandira too.

This is a ocean front property with sunset views! The best is large and comfy. The family are absolutely lovely and will do anything to help you! The food is delicious and so fresh. We did a snorkelling trip with the family to an incredible reef and sand bar. Highly recommend!
