Details
Senja Homestay lies on Pulau Pam’s southern shore.
Five private over-water bungalows are available.
The bungalows sleep two on inner spring mattresses on the floor. The usual bedding and mosquito nets are supplied, and all rooms have electrical outlets and room light switches. An extra mattress can be added for a third guest if required.
Meals are served in Senja Homestay’s over-water dining room. Free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are always available for guests there.
Guests share a three-roomed bathroom building. One room has a western toilet, one room a raised squat toilet, and the third room has ladle and tub bathing.
Senja Homestay receives a strong 4G phone signal, and data connections are usually possible. Electricity is supplied by generator and is available from sunset to around midnight.
Only a little English is spoken at Senja Homestay, so bringing a translation app or phrasebook is recommended.
Saupapir village is about a ten minute walk away. Be sure to stock up with anything you consider essential, because local villages only have basic supplies available.
Safe rubbish disposal is non-existent in Raja Ampat. Please do take all your inorganic trash away with you when you leave. Leaving it anywhere in the islands will only contribute to the trashing of paradise.

Public Boat to the Fam Islands
If you have plenty of time, you don’t mind a bit of discomfort, and you want spend as little as possible on transport costs, then there are cargo boats that you can use to get to the Fam Islands. (Obviously, if you are going to arrive on the cargo boat, then you don’t need to request a Waisai pickup when submitting the booking form above.)
Here’s what you need to know about getting the cargo boat to Fam.
Activities
Be sure to bring snorkelling gear, as there are many excellent snorkelling sites around Senja Homestay.
Like all homestays, Senja Homestays can organise snorkelling and sightseeing trips to anywhere you want to go.
Saupapir village is a short walk away, and walking paths connect Saupapir to Pam’s two other villages, and to a jetty in a bay on the northern side of the island.

We were here for 3 days and really enjoyed it. Very quiet and nice with lots of fish, sharks and sting rays underneath the bungalows. Also great options for snorkeling nearby but also on the boat trip that Romel can arrange. Highly recommend!!
Terimakasih untuk waktunya pengalaman luar biasa bersama kami senja homestay
I stayed here for a few days and had a really great experience. It’s a simple place, nothing fancy, but it’s charming and well maintained. Everything was clean and tidy, and you can tell they take good care of the property.
The best part, without a doubt, is the staff. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything. They make you feel at home from the very beginning, and that truly makes all the difference.
If you’re looking for a cozy, quiet place with a 10/10 team, I’d definitely recommend staying here. I would happily come back.
Senja is a nice place to stay ! Well localizated, close to the principal reefs osf Pam Islands. Cresiel, the owner, is always prestative to atend the demands of the guests. The rooms are good, with a very beatiful sunrise.

Great over the water bungalows with stunning views. There is an overhead shower in addition to dip mandi option. The food is good, with a sweet treat in the afternoon. The family are very friendly and we went on various trips and tours for low prices. I would definitely recommend staying here!
