FRANGKY HOMESTAY

Best food I had in Bunaken. You'll find no place as good as Frangky's, local owned, good prices, and he goes above and beyond with his tours.

Frangky and Nona invited me into their home. They helped me set up Dolphin and snorkel trips made sure all my needs were met. Nona's cooking is the best!

Heerlijk eten, goede locatie, professioneel georganiseerde snorkeltocht

Clean, a few minutes walk from the public ferry, nice common area, cheap.

I had barely set down my backpack when Frangky was already asking me and others who had just checked in about tours. I wasn’t able to check in until 4 pm (the official check-in time is 2 pm) because “a guest who has been here for six months is still sleeping in your room” (check-out time is 12 pm). Then at 4 pm I was told that the shower is broken and I would need to use a bucket. There was also no water coming out of the faucet in the sink. When I pointed out that none of this was what I had paid for (on booking.com they advertise “a private bathroom boasting a shower”), Frangky’s immediate response was, “Then cancel your reservation and go somewhere else. Everyone is always happy here. It’s only you.” Not a great start, to say the least! He did repair the shower the next day, but the sink never worked and the toilet flushing mechanism also stopped functioning. So be prepared to have a lot of your bathroom activities center around a large bucket of water!
