    Cold shower, though actually very refreshing given the temperature and humidity. I was also surprised by the high cost of guided park walks. Not sure what is normal but we paid 100,000 per person per day for entry plus 150,000-200,000 per person per walk for the guide. We did an evening and a morning walk.

    Literally just outside entrance of Tongkoko Park. Very friendly people and great food. Beds did not come automatically with top sheets, but the owner organized this immediately upon request.

    Bathroon is a bit oldish but did't bother us.

    Great homestay just next to the nature park entrance. Staff is very friendly. Rooms are clean and there's nice patio in front of the room. Breakfast and dinner tasty and plentiful. We had great morning and evening trek in the nature park. Jenly is super nice, enthusiastic and absolutely great quide. We saw lot's of animals and enjoyed the treks a lot.

    Almost nothing, there were just a lot of ants.

    Host and guide in one! We arrived and could immediately talk about what times and tours we could do. He was also a former ranger so he definitely knows the jungle by heart. We saw everything we wanted to see and the room had everything you needed. Would recommend this place!

    There was no warm/hot water which would have been nice, especially since it was quite cold after the rain. Some space to put toiletries in the bathromm would be nice as well as some extra power sockets (only one in the room).

    The homestay is located right next to the entrance to Tangkoko Nationalpark and not far too walk to the beach. The owner and staff were lovely and the breakfast included was plenty (pancakes, eggs, toast, fruits), coffee, tea and water is available foc all day. We did two nature walks with Jenly, who has a lot of experience in the jungle as he was the head of the Nationalpark and wildlife police before he retired. He went out of his way to show us all the animals, a very passionate guide and lovely person. Definitely recommended. Rooms are basic but clean and comfy beds.

    I think the bathroom need to be clean. The room is basic. By booking.com is written included extra: walking safari (I think don't mention dat). Be prepared to bring cash (rupiah) with you. And be prepared to pay for the guide.

    Kind staffs, reasonable price for the rooms.

    Right across the street from the Tangkoko reserve, great accessibility. The accommodation is dated and simple but clean and comfortable. They arranged the tour, with the person who arranges accomodation, and he was extremely knowledgeable. We did an evening and a morning tour. Tarsiers, horbills, bear cuscus, green-backed kingfisher and more! If you are hoping for some of the rare animals pack appropriate footwear and prepare for a walk/hike. They also offer a traditional dinner for a reasonable price, which is helpful, as the local town doesn't have much.

    Perfect Homestay with friendly people and good food. We did also two Tours with the owner and he took a Lot of time to Guide us around the forest. We feel quite Happy about that, because we left the typical Tourist Route in the Jungle and did Not Stick with the Other groups to all gather around the Monkeys at the Same time... We ended Up being all by ourselves in the middle of the Jungle (quite far from the main paths) and we were lucky to observe three kuskus for quite some while. We also saw a hornbill from close and the Monkeys. We can absolutely recommend doing a Tour with the owner of this Homestay. Thanks a Lot!

    We were dropped off and left a bit confused and abandoned to start with. It would be a good idea to have the drinks and meal prices written on a board or on the fridge perhaps. Also the WiFi password written down somewhere.

    Big and comfortable room with AC, functional bathroom. Water, tea and coffee available all the time. The food was amazing, catered for vegetarians and huge portions, and the women who looked after us caring and excellent. Thank you! A great location right next to the Tangkoko reserve entrance with Ifon our host and guide brilliant at spotting wildlife in the trees! Beautiful beaches and nice locals in the village. Basic facilities but if you are used to staying in Indonesia and or the jungle, you’ll be fine.

    Very basic, not really clean in the room although the bed sheets were clean. Good for the price though

    Basic guesthouse close to the park with jenlee the owner who can serve as guide as he is an ex ranger. Very good breakfast AC which is a must

    The rooms are basic but the bed was clean and cozy. The bathrooms is also basic but was clean as well. Breakfast was just amazing! Jenly is a very friendly and proficient Tour guide. We had two amazing tours with him. Also, the accomodation is right at the entry of Tangkoko National Park. I can definetly recommend this place if you stay in Tangkoko for one or two nights
