Very good bungalows and nice location, very friendly and kind staff, tasty food. You can book tours with owner of this property - and see other islands renting the boat for tour. nature around is amazing!

This was, without a doubt, our favorite homestay in Raja Ampat. A stunning white sand beach with a vibrant, healthy reef just steps from our bungalow, perfect for snorkeling every single day. The bungalow was spacious and airy, with a large bed and one of the most comfortable mattresses we’ve had on our trip (complete with a topper!). The food was excellent — varied, plentiful, and delicious. We’re really going to miss the afternoon snacks! (Huge thanks to the lovely cook!) We also really appreciated the boat used for transfers and excursions: shaded, powerful, and ideal for reaching amazing spots like Wayag and Aljui Bay quickly and safely. Even during snorkels in strong currents, we always felt safe, someone was always in the water with us, guiding the way and pointing out the most beautiful parts of the reef with great care and attention. Ferdinand, our host, was truly outstanding, warm, helpful, on time, and incredibly professional (which really makes a difference in this part of the world). He gave us great tips for the rest of our trip near Waisai, and when no other guides were available, he personally took us to see the bird of paradise. We even had a lovely breakfast with him at the traditional Waisai market — such a special window into local life. Jou Suba isn’t just a beautiful place, it’s a genuine, heartfelt experience. Every detail is taken care of, and you feel it. Highly recommended.

Great place. On a fairly remote island, very quiet and beautiful location with a nice sunset view (there are two more homestays on the other side of the island, less fascinating than coco hut). Two hours from Waisai (the boat trip well arranged by the homestay is nice in itself) and two and a half hours from the absolutely amazing Wayag (weather permitting - they arrange a trip with their local boats at a fair price). Trips to nearby islands to snorkel, manta spots and great sandbank's sunset are also available (Vince can help you arrange them). The bungalows are comfortable and with a nice view (perhaps hammocks could be better fixed and an additional chair added on the deck for further improvement). The food is very good, the hosts and staff provide great service and the shared bathroom is good (when compared to other homestays in the area) and always kept clean. Great value.

The best homestay we’ve ever stayed at! We were absolutely delighted with this homestay. Everything is done with so much care and attention—the space is incredibly clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. The food is simply amazing, prepared with dedication and full of flavor. The family running the homestay is incredibly friendly. Although they don’t speak English, they use translation apps to communicate, and if their nephew is on vacation, it’s very easy to communicate in English. Tomás, who manages the homestay, is fantastic! He made sure to take us to all the places we wanted to visit and even offered us a boat tour around the area on our last day—a wonderful gesture! The bungalow is simple but cozy, equipped with a large fan and a mosquito net, ensuring a comfortable and restful stay. The location couldn’t be better, with sea views on both sides of the island and breathtaking sunsets that are truly magical. The homestay is completely isolated, offering the perfect environment for tranquility and relaxation, despite being very well located close to key spots. Speaking of location, must-visit spots like Pyanemo, Tugas Island, and Melissa Garden are just 5-10 minutes away by boat. The only downside is the lack of network coverage at the homestay, so it’s important to plan all your activities and dives in advance if they’re not directly arranged with the homestay. The bathroom is simple but super clean. The shower is traditional, using a bucket, but it’s surprisingly pleasant. If you’re looking for diving experiences, we highly recommend Pam’s Divers. They are slightly farther away, but they are extremely professional and friendly, making the experience even better. An unforgettable experience—we highly recommend it!

It's a truly lovely place and if you find it available, it's your lucky day :) Go ahead and book! The house reef is a garden of joy and you find love to details in every bit of the homestay. Even thoug it is simple, it felt luxurious. The table prepared in absolute precise manner, with glasses even polished, the pier enlightened with lightbubls hidden in shells to have that extra soft ligtht and maritime touch, shared bathrooms cleaned twice a day, the coffee table always filled and plenty of hot water. Family really takes an effort and you feel the really love doing so!

A little paradise in Raja Ampat! Aron and his family are very good host, super friendly and always willing to help. A smile always around. In other reviews I read there are not activities and actually if you are a bit adventurous, not 100 mtrs swimming from there, you can snorkel and you will find turtles, sharks and a beautiful coral reef around. Be prepared to be connected with nature, lot of birds and very tasty and generous portions of food. Honestly the food is very, very nice 🙏🏼🤩🫶🏼 Thanks Aron and family, and a big kiss to little Louise🥰😘

Cute cabins, beautiful views, and breathtaking snorkeling right across the way. We met several wonderful people because the homestay was full. The food was very good.

amazing island and homestay ran by a very helpful family

Staying at Beser Bay in Raja Ampat was an exceptional experience. The location offers tranquility and seclusion, ideal for relaxation. The house reef boasts diverse marine life, including walking sharks, blacktip sharks, clownfish, stingrays, and various fish species, providing constant underwater entertainment. Day trips for snorkeling, especially encounters with mantas, were a highlight. These excursions allowed for a closer exploration of Raja Ampat's marine ecosystem. Overall, Beser Bay provides a serene atmosphere, exceptional marine biodiversity, and friendly hospitality, making it a highly recommended destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in Raja Ampat. PS: the food was incredible 🫶🏻
