Details
Moria Homestay offers three VIP bungalows on Kri’s northern shore.
All bungalows have an ensuite bathroom with western-style toilet.
The bungalows sit on the white sands of the Kri north coast beach. They are shaded by overhanging trees and have ocean views to Gam and Waigeo. Each bungalow has a covered verandah with chairs and a table.
Bungalow bedrooms sleep two on a raised double bed. Sheets, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets are supplied, and room light switch and power outlets fitted. An extra raised bed can be provided for a third guest if needed.
Meals are served on the bungalow verandahs and free drinking water, tea and coffee are always available there.
Electricity is available from sunset to midnight. If you’re willing to pay for the extra generator fuel required, then electricity can be provided as needed.
Moria Homestay receives a good 4G signal from the nearby Yenbuba tower.
The nearest village to Moria Homestay is Yenbuba on Mansuar. Yenbuba is about a ten minute boat ride away, and basic supplies are can be purchased there. It’s best to bring all essential items with you. Please though – take all your inorganic trash away with you: If you leave it at Kri you’ll just contribute to the rubbishing of paradise.
Only a little English is spoken at Moria Homestay, so if you have no Bahasa Indonesia, bringing a translation app or phrasebook would be a good idea.
Transport / Getting there
Transfers between the Moria Homestay and Waisai cost IDR 800,000
The longboat used can carry up to 4 passengers. (A larger boat will be arranged at extra cost if need be.)
Activities
Bring snorkelling gear, because the reefs of northern Kri are renowned.
Moria Homestay can provide snorkelling and sightseeing trips on demand.
Hiking and beach walking
In addition to the jungle paths that lead to the panoramic views from Kri’s heights, long hikes can be made at low tide. You can walk the whole north shore of Kri, cross the sandbanks to Ransiwor and/or Yenbuba at Mansuar.
Be aware of the tides if you plan on walking both ways.
It's possible to continue west along Mansuar, and then to cross the island past a lake and finish in Sauwandarek village on Mansuar’s south coast, where there’s also excellent snorkelling.
If that sounds like fun, then you’ll need a guide to keep you on the trail in Mansuar, a day with a morning low tide, and to arrange a pickup from Sauwandarek.

I had a nice experience at this Homestay. Was overbooked when I arrived but they provided a bungalow just a short walk away til space opened in reservation location. Beautiful beach at low tide. Beautiful coral reef in front. A previous review mentioned dive master Otto next door. I reached out to him and he introduced me to his dive master associate Yona Tan for arranging diving (Otto was booked). Yona Tan was fabulous!!!! Went on 4 dives and best experience ever. He was SO knowledgeable, checked currents, knew the spots. I am considered a beginner diver and this man made me feel safe. Priceless time. My experience with Eko was also positive- I was transported on time the day we arranged. Milka assisted with most meals and was a delightful person.
Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt im Moria Homestay. Der Bungalow ist geräumig mit einem bequemen Bett und einer schönen Terrasse mit Meerblick. Alles war sauber und die Gastfamilie sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war ok, aber die Menge nicht immer ausreichend. Unabhängig von der Zahl der Gäste gab es immer die gleiche Menge. Gerade bei Überbuchungen (oft Gäste die über Booking gebucht haben) wurde das Essen knapp. Das Hausriff ist ganz nett, die Ausflüge waren etwas teurer als bei anderen Homestay’s.
Merci à Eko, Milka, Jacob et toute la famille.🙏
Moria Homestay ne possède que 3 bungalows. Ils sont en train d’en construire un nouveau.
Nous y avons passé 4 nuits (du 14 au 18 février 2026).
Joli et confortable bungalow, très bonne literie, avec salle de bains intérieur, les pieds dans l’eau à marée haute, sinon grande plage de sable blanc aussi fin que de la farine à marée basse.
Les repas étaient délicieux, assez en quantité que nous avons partagé avec nos voisins.
On peut directement partir du bungalow pour aller nage🤿 et s’émerveiller de la multitude de poissons, coraux, tortues…
On peut également partir sur la gauche quand la marée est basse marcher jusqu’à la pointe et revenir à la nage🤿.
Pour info, si vous êtes buveur de bières, vous pouvez en acheter des fraîches chez Paparisa Homestay à côté.
Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Moria.
Je recommande vivement cet endroit si vos dates de réservation concordent.
Avec le site Stay Raja Ampat, c’est facile et fiable contrairement aux sites Booking, Agoda, etc…

说实话，moria民宿还是比较新的，条件也不错，民宿的家人都很客气，但是食物，尤其是早饭很敷衍，只有蛋糕，没有其他。
让我不能接受的是，我预订了2间，我另外2个朋友也各自预订了一间，一共是4间。但是moria只有3间房。我们很担心会不会其中有人没有房间住，所以提前在WA上问了民宿，民宿说不用担心，他们新造了2间，一共5间，不会出现没地方住的情况。我的另外2个朋友比我提前一天到达，她们很焦急的跟我说，moria提到的新造的2间民宿不止没有完工，甚至她们根本没办法入住，房间都是满的。moria把她们安排到了很远的intum民宿，而且是2个人住一间。等我第二天到达moria也面临同样的问题，moria把我们安排到附近一家不知道名字的民宿，我和我朋友在这半成品小屋住了2晚，很难受。在餐厅吃饭的法国老太太告诉我们，她来的时候也是没有房间，但是她坚持要住而且把行李放到了房间里，她才争取到。并且她告诉我们这3间房什么时候空出来。然后我和moria拉扯，总算给我和我朋友争取到了一间房（我们原来是一人一间）。我和我朋友是异性，不是恋人，但是无奈只能挤一张床。另外2个被搬到intum的女生，通过沟通，我也叫她们搬回来住moria。
在我们还有一天的情况下，民宿来问我们今天能否搬走，我给他看了邮件，他就走了。最后临走的一天，有个游客老太太来问我们什么时候搬走，这让我们很不舒服，虽然我们已经在打包行李，但是跟这个老太太说，你是不是也因为定了房间但是过来却满房？她说是的。我说你再等一会，我们等船来了，你就可以搬进来了。
所以预订这个民宿需要坚持你的预订，这里的民宿超售是个常见现象。

We had a great stay with Eko and his family at Moria Homestay. The bungalows were comfortable and clean and Eko provided a plastic tub for any food items so we never had any problems with rats.
The food was tasty, varied and plentiful and Eko took us to some great snorkelling spots at a reasonable price. I have to say that the home reef between the two jetties is awesome- the best we have experienced in Raja Ampat so far. We saw so many fish, sharks, turtles, cuttlefish as well as lovely coral. We really enjoyed our stay.
That was the most comfortable l,pleasant stay I had in raja ampat.
Perfect location on a sandy beach,good snorkeling in the front,new hats on the beach,nice comfortable bed,super clean ensuite bathroom with new floor tiles!Comfy balcony and clothesline on the side of the hat.Very important: I didn’t even have on visit from the well known rats of Kri.(Lost my sleep in another accommodation because of them😢)
The dining area looked like a good restaurant’s,with beautiful sea view.
The food was always very tasty and some extra snacks or fruits kindly made for us as an extra between meals,were much appreciated.
Eko was next to every guest in a way that you felt him like your best friend there.He was there to cover everyone’s needs.Also his father,sister and the girls,everyone were fantastic people.Bless them all😊
If you’re diving,find Otto next door to Moria and thank me later😁.A very experienced cool guy.I was a new diver and he was amazing with me.
I can’t wait to be back to this place!!!

Moria Homestay was added to Stay Raja Ampat today, and so does not have any reviews yet.
It’s really hard for families trying to launch a new homestay.
Please do consider giving Moria Homestay a chance, and then be the first to submit some feedback.
The Moria family will be so happy to see you 😊🙏
