  Tangkoko Ranger Homestay Review Score: 8

  “The position of the homestay was outstanding, at the entrance to the Nat.Park. The accommodation is simple air conditioned and clean with a terrace looking over the gardens . Our room only had a cold water shower , but welcomed after a steamy jungle walk th see the amazing Black Macques. The food in the communal open dining area was tasty and adequate . The staff were so friendly and welcoming.”

  Sunset Guest House & Bar Review Score: 10

  “Helmi and Yoke were wonderful, welcoming hosts who showed great care for their guests. Nothing was too much trouble, dive trip, transfers and oddball requests dealt with efficiently and with grace. The food was simply amazing. Great use of local resources to produce a local cuisine that was second to none on the island. Whilst largely fish or chicken based, every meal was different, and delicious. Fresh tastes, plenty of vegetables, cold beer and warm smiles. We had only booked one night, planning to extend but unfortunately we had to move as our room was already booked. No problems, Helmi and Yoke were only too happy to have us as casual diners, which ended up to be every evening meal for the remaining week we were on the Island. The rooms are quite spartan, air conditioning is coming, but everything is clean and well presented.”

  Tangkoko Sanctuary Villa Review Score: 10

  “A couple of fellow travellers recommended Tangkoko Sancturary Villa for its amazing food, and we were not disappointed!! Linda (Anna), the owner, went out of her ways to satisfy our taste buds - sent guys to town to buy fruits we love and made the dishes we requested for our last dinner.... Deanna was always cheerful and helpful. She paid specific attention to individual guests' preferences. Together with other staff, they worked very hard to make the place a true sanctuary for their guests. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. AC worked well and was essential. The wildlife tour was a great experience. Sakar, the guide, tried very hard to spot the animals. The mangrove/snorkelling trip was ok. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and highly recommend it!! (A&A, if you are reading this, thanks again for the recommendation!)”

  Tangkoko Jungle Homestay Review Score: 9

  “The guided tours both evening and morning with Frankie were fantastic!! He goes all out and will not give up until you have seen the animal you're looking for and have taken a picture of it (if that's what you want!). The location is perfect right next to the national park entrance, people super friendly and willing to help out with food, etc. Definitely recommend for your stay in Tangkoko!”
