Loved the food, great location and just a great place to stay on Bunaken. Staff were very attentive, helpful and friendly. Snorkelling on the island is out of this world. Would definitely love to stay again.

Absolutley wonderful hosts on this small little island. Loved that there was only 8 little villa/cabins. It was really lovely to be in an intimate setting where you got to minggle with other guests at meals times. Incredible local food cooked for each table breakfast,lunch and dinner! WONDERFUL. Fu helped us to arrange taxi and small local boat to and from Bunken too which ever so helpful. Thankyou Guys for a lovely stay.

My stay at Novita was incredible. I felt like part of a family. The food is excellent and the family is adorable. The accommodation is very comfortable and the value for money unbeatable. I only want to come back to Bunaken to see them! The girls are very nice too. We went snorkeling together. Thanks a lot. I recommend 100%.

Very nice bungalows in front of mangrove-beach. The food was amazing, they make a different variety of fish, meat, vegetables everyday. We enjoyed our diving course, and were in good gands with the professional staff. Our diving teacher was Connor from England, so there were no language barriers as well.

Owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. They’re very attentive to ensure your stay is a memorable and pleasant one. The resort is right on the beach. So if you book snorkelling trips through the resort, you can easily access to the boat as it will be parked in front of the resort. I enjoyed the beautiful view from the dining area. You can watch sunset from the resort. The resort is also near the border between the Muslim and Christian kampung. There is nearby ATM which I never tried. There are also nearby local shophouses and dive shops. You can walk to the main jetty. The locals are friendly and warm so don’t forget to put up your smiley face and say Hi!. The resort serve delicious local food which you can order for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is generous so if you can’t finish, let the workers know that you want less servings so you won’t waste the food. Or you can also pack to bring along for snorkeling trips. Tips for travellers who are first time coming here: As it is on an island, the electricity works on generator. Standby a torch or a headlight in case the electricity turned off suddenly at night. From my experience, the electricity trip normally took about 5 to 15 minutes. I stayed in the lower floor. The lights in the room were dim and my eyesight was not so good. Thankfully I brought my headlight. Like most island resorts, there is no tv. So download your favourite movies beforehand so you can play it anytime. There is wifi but the speed is unpredictable.

The family of the homestay are lovely and treat you like part of the family straight away. The food was excellent and plentiful. Not only did they cater to vegetarian and vegan diets easily, the food was delicious and a highlight of our stay. For the room, it was small but adequate with a queen size bed with a comfortable mattress. The bathroom was nice with a good pressure cool shower and flushing toilet. Aircon worked great.and was a nice treat. Ken's homestay was the place to be in the evening with live music being played by various talents from across the village. It's a fun and friendly vibe. Some nights are more lively than others which was a nice mix for us. If you are a light sleeper or go to bed early bring earplugs and it is fine. The mornings are nice and quiet and you can wake up to the sound of the waves. You can't even hear the church or the mosque! We went on two snorkelling tours and both were great ways to see other amazing snorkelling spots and we even visited the village on Manado Tua. Good value too. We extended our stay by two nights and wished we could have stayed longer. Terima kasih banyak!

What guests said about Bunaken:

Villa Queen’s made our Bunaken trip extraordinary.

Villa Queen’s made our Bunaken trip extraordinary. Though we stayed in the Homestay, it felt like a four-star resort thanks to cozy memory foam beds, air conditioning, and a stylish bathroom. Power and internet never failed, which was impressive given the island’s frequent outages—Starlink made working online effortless. We loved having access to multiple pools, a gym, and special experiences like carving lessons. Excursions took us from dolphin tours to cultural sites, and the diving team helped both beginners and certified divers feel at ease in the water. The food blew us away—fresh, flavorful, and farm-to-table quality. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, adventure, and authentic local flavor.

Our stay at Villa Queen’s in Bunaken was unforgettable.

Our stay at Villa Queen’s in Bunaken was unforgettable. Even in the Homestay section, the comfort felt luxurious, with memory foam beds, personal fans, air conditioning, and a well-designed bathroom. Despite frequent island-wide power outages, we always had electricity and fast Starlink internet—ideal for remote work. Guests enjoy access to three pools, a gym, and even unique activities like wood carving with the resident artist. We explored the region through guided tours, dolphin watching, and sunset cruises, while diving options ranged from PADI certifications to beginner-friendly pool sessions. The food, sourced from their own farm hotel, was simply outstanding. Villa Queen’s combines comfort, adventure, and world-class hospitality in one remarkable experience.

Well, a week is certainly enough to get your fill of Bunaken itself, but as soon as you take your eyes out of the water, it is clear that the area has much more to offer with dramatic volcanic mountains lining the Manado Bay. We visited the Tunan waterfall and spent a day in Tangkoko National park, but I wished we could have also explored the highland towns, the Soputan and Lokon volcanoes and Lembeh strait. It is pretty impressive to have so many different experiences within 50 km from Manado.

Bunaken is a lovely island and central port of call for the surrounding Marine Reserve. It has a lively small village and a range of accommodation options. We are not divers but we understood that the diving was fantastic. We do enjoy snorkeling and were able to be taken by boat to snorkel in several varied locations. A highlight was “turtle city”, where we saw at least a dozen turtles on the edge of the reef.

A beautiful island with an underwater world like nowhere else in the world. wherever you put your head under water, you will find a beautiful coral reef. A very safe island, as a woman I was not afraid to go anywhere alone. The local people are very polite. Great food at great prices rent motorbikes and see the whole island. on Bunaken are NO cars restaurants don't have a big menu, but everything is always fresh. diving here doesn't cost much, you should definitely try it (even without a license) snorkeling is amazing. there is no ATM here, but some restaurants will give you cash for 5%. when paying by card in a restaurant they charge 3% (but not everywhere you could pay by card). in general stores you could only pay in cash.

This island's coral life is amazing.

This island's coral life is amazing. The best point in north Sulawesi for scuba diving. The reef wall has wonderful biodiversity. Center of the southern part of the island is the best spot and easier to reach the coral wall. This is a protected marine park and they should consider to protect this area more seriosly.

This was without a doubt the best homestay we have experienced in two years of traveling through Asia. Stefen has been an incredible help with everything we needed and organized for us one of the best tours of our lives: the dolphins, Nain Island sandbank, and Siladen snorkeling tour. It's been two weeks since we left his homestay, and we still think daily of our time there. We would love to go back as soon as possible. The food was delicious and very healthy.

The owners and all the staff were not only attentive and considerate but also extremely responsible, making sure everything ran smoothly and providing a really homely feeling which was perfect for me and the new friends I made at meals and on the dive boat. Speaking of diving, the sites at Bunaken are not to be missed, though currents were quite challenging on some of our dives. I was glad to be in the capable hands of resident dive master Jerry.
