Reviews of Tangkoko Ranger Homestay

Perfect location opposite to park entrance. Jun is an exceptional guide and he showed me every single animal species I could only wish for prior to my trip.

Nothing I can think of

Our stay at Tangkoko Ranger Homestay was excellent. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, equipped with air conditioning, and the buffet-style breakfast was tasty. What stood out the most was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and the owner. After finding our original accommodation closed, we were able to get a room here spontaneously without any prior notice. The best part of this homestay is the location: directly opposite the entrance to the national park and close to several restaurants. We booked both a morning and an evening tour through the homestay and had our own private guide, ET. He was very respectful towards the animals, which truly impressed us, and still managed to show us everything we had hoped to see. On top of that, he was kind, knowledgeable, and made the tours a great experience. We can highly recommend staying here, especially for visiting Tangkoko National Park.

The location is great, right across the entrance to the park and a restaurant. The rooms are good, staff is friendly and can arrange guides for visiting the park.

One room had no glass in the window, just slanted planks, so the airconditioning didn't really help as cold air would just escape.

The best part of Tangkoko Ranger Homestay is it's location - it's just opposite the entrance of the national park. You can't ask for a better location. The room itself was basic but it was comfortable and had everything we needed. Most importantly, Alfrets is super prompt when responding to questions and he booked all our treks into the national park. Super easy to deal with. Would recommend.

None

Everything organised and helpful owner

Pancakes would have been even more delicious, if cooked to order

Great room, bathroom and veranda! Genuinely perfect accomodation.

Breakfast is very basic

Cute homestay just in front of the National park entrance. Beautiful gardens and common area where they serve breakfast. Rooms are ok, and staff was really helpful.

Rooms a bit old, shower pressure was low, and no hot water, but I believe that’s what you get almost everywhere so I wouldn’t criticize much.

It's location in respect to the National Park was second to none, opposite the gates. The rooms are very dated and in need of a lot of updating. Poor water pressure, cold water, light and plug sockets poorly fitted, doors with large gaps. If anyone was talking outside your room you could hear every word. Breakfast was very limited with only two choices

Quiet, nice outside area, clean, mozzie net.

As with any budget form of accomodation there are things that could be better such as a hot shower, somewhere to hang your clothes etc but in the scheme of things it’s not that important.

Very kind and helpfull staff. It's acros the street from the national park entrance. At the first day we found out the AC was not working. We got a new room without any problem. Was very kind.

The breakfast has room for improvement.

Perfect room and location. Very friendly hosting team.

Location opposite the park entrance. Enthusiastic guides Yunos and Saca. Very knowledgeable about birds. Good at spotting the elusive cuscus and tarsier too. Friendly service staff Yolan, Stephanie and driver Uri. Convenient access to Eateria facing the homestay that is run by the owner's relative. The gado-gado is 'sedap' (tasty)! Enjoyed attending the owner's son's first birthday party. Fun watching the guests sing and dance.

The water pressure of the shower is way too low. Took a long time to rinse soap off! As it is a budget homestay, guests should be realistic with their expectations e g. Basic room and breakfast. Would be good if there is an upfront price list of all activities for guests, including laundry and massage services which they've kindly arranged at our request.

The place is perfect for naturalist enthusiast, being super close to the national park. The room was comfortable enough for me even if a few additional furniture would help Alfrets helped me set up my days with local guides to look for specific birds.

Water is cold there which is normally not an issue. Breakfast was a bit slow to be available in early morning and portions not plentiful.

Our stay here was lovely. Being just across from the National park entrance was great to be able explore the area. We booked a tour with one of the homestay rangers, Et, who was really excellent and found lots of native animals during our full day tour. He had a great telescope which we used to observe the animals from afar. This was definitely the highlight! The rooms were basic but functional and clean with good aircon. Overall had a great time.

Breakfast could maybe be stored differently to stop ants getting in.

The staff, they were really nice and helped me with my specific needs.

I dont know to be honest.

Lovely home stay! Comfy bed, june our guide was amazing 👏 homestay is right out side the national park

Shower wasnt great
