Nice basic homestay with a very friendly staff. The food ist good, made of fresh ingredients and it varies as much as possible in this remote location. The diving is good, but due to the language barrier and at times strong current, it fits experienced divers who bring their own equipment.
The prices for accommodation (350k p.p. for a private bungalow incl. 3 meals, water, tea and coffee) and diving (500k per dive) are more than reasonable.response / report this review -

Beautiful homestay. Perfect location to do some proper diving. Food is ok. Rooms are clean but you have to be able to enjoy basic facilities. Staff is friendly and helpfull. Especially Deva, she talks English very well and knows Raja Ampat in and out.

Nice homestay on a beautiful location. Jump in the water with your snorkel and you can see so many things already, like sharks and squid. Diving was fun too! Lots of good dive-sites nearby and we saw 4 manta’s on our first dive, just 10 minutes from the homestay. And Dewa, the host, is great!

A gem in the rough, we found this place from the Raja Ampat Homestay binder at our other homestay on Kri Island in Raja Ampat. Kordiris Homestay started up in 2011 and is on Gam Island. While its immediate waters in front of the Homestay office/kitchen/common area building hut may be lacking in having significant coral walls for snorkeling the waters are very clear at this time of year in November and the pricing very affordable for Raja Ampat compared to the numerous and expensive liveaboards. Private bungalows are set @ 350 000 IDR and shared standard rooms @ 300 000 IDR. All private bungalows either on land or off the adjacent jetty are 350 000 IDR and are simple with a small table, elevated bed and mattress with mosquito/insect net and bamboo floor rug with outdoor veranda. Toilets and showers are housed outside with water taps and use plastic water cans and pots to bathe and use the toilet.
No hammocks were available at this time but there are many places to hang one either on your veranda or along the adjacent white sand beach in a small sheltered bay.
The homestay has an in house dive centre with rental equipment for hire where dives including equipment are set @ 500 000 IDR for nearby dive sites that within 30 minutes or less. Day trips can be arranged as well as other excursions on land however pricing varies depending on how many people can share the boat hire cost to the desired locations. Boat hire can be quite expensive in Raja Ampat if trying to do it as a couple or soloist so consolidating a group is best if you want to save money.response / report this review -

I stayed here last Junenot the best time for Raja Ampat, but the diving was still great. Visibility not what it would be at peek season, but awesome fish. Tons and tons of fish. Big fish, sharks, giant schools. Awesome! I was the only one at this place, had the nicest cabin (at the end of the pier), went for three dives a day and just chilled by myself the rest of the time. The reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because, while the food is okay, it gets boring after the third day. So I recommend bringing some of your own food just to have variety. And if you want beer, you'll need to bring that too. Very affordable place too. Very friendly staff. But if you are looking for all the comforts of the Western world, this might not be the place for you. It's a bit rough.

Terrible experience!
first we had a trip& dive deal (join with other 4 guests who stayed in kordiris homestay )with the manager, marina, she asked us to wait at our homestay (also in Gam island,but with much better views&sands) till they got prepare for the trip. then we were just kept waiting and waiting till the manager came to our homestay (to picked up other guests go for a diving trip without us, which was such a shock ! )and then suddenly told us the trip plan was changed, if we still wanna go we need to go to the kordiris homestay and then discuss again. at that time we were confused and had no other choice then we went to kordiris, and finally got a bad news that the trip for us was canceled! at last we made a new deal with them to go for a one dive trip with more payment..
in addition, the dive spot they took was just so so. there are so much more better spot for diving in raja ampat. kind of waste time&money.response / report this review
