This is a very small and fairly remote island. It’s a small wonder there is even electricity and internet at all, so set your expectations accordingly. Electricity will be off during the day, which is a small compromise for what you get in return.

I barely know where to start. We had eight days of pure bliss. As you didn’t have to think of anything other than bringing your swimwear and what your next read would be, we soon got into a rhythm of just existing. We woke up in the morning and walked out on the beach, breakfast was served and when we had finished a boat was packed and ready to take us diving (which was incredible). When we arrived back at the island lunch was ready (which was equally incredible). Afternoons were spent reading, snorkelling, exploring the island or more diving. In the evening dinner was served at a communal table directly on the beach, where we talked about all the turtles we saw during the day. Lights out, repeat. We could’t have wished for a better stay. Terima kasih banyak.

We were able to enjoy a tremendous time at Bobocha Siladen. The resort lays perfectly on the beach, the food is exceptional and the staff very friendly and eager to actively support wherever they can. The coral reef directly in front of the resort is optimal for snorkeling and we were able to go scuba diving organized by the resort team - it was absolutely magnificent (and can definitely keep up with the most beautiful dive spots around the world). The whole resort is very well managed with all the attention on making it an unforgettable experience for the customer. Thank you to Lilly and the enitre staff for their passion in hosting us.

No complaints what so ever.

The tranquillity was fantastic.

Overall we were very satisfied but the wifi would now and again turn off in the evening. The meals are all served communal dining style and there were some evenings it would have been nice to sit privately with our family after a long day of diving.

An absolutely unforgettable time was had by our group saying at Bobocha Siladen. The food was of a very high standard and perfect every time and Sarah is a great host who gets the balance of hosting and guest privacy right. The beach feels very private and you can fully switch off and relax and the pool is a nice extra for a morning/evening swim. The rooms are very clean and tastefully decorated and the staff are attentive and have a lovely calm demeanor. During our time in Sulawesi we stayed in other accommodation after Sarah's and we were constantly comparing it and wishing we were back as the food was unrivaled and was such a great place to spend our first week.

Had a villa by the beach which had a lovely view. Breakfast on the beach was a pleasure. We went on two trips, swam with green turtles and saw a school of pilot whales, a real treat, and a visit we will remember.

The food was just outstanding.

All well.

It’s a small resort nicely integrated into the small village. The personal care of the whole team around Sarah was a great experience and the food unique and the best we ever had enjoyed. The common meals on the beach are beautiful and you can chat wit the other guests at the dinner. The house riff is also on a very good condition.

A slice of paradise! This was simply one of the best combinations of accommodation and location that I have ever experienced. The hosts, Sarah and Paul, was so welcoming as were the other members of staff. The food provided was of an exceptionally high quality. The chalet was perfect and the coral reef accessed directly from the accommodation was in excellent condition with very healthy coral and a myriad of coral reef fishes. I Definitely hope to return and the not too distant future. If I could give this 100 stars I would!

Cute little resort run by Sarah & team who you will see mentioned in all the reviews for good reason as Sarah takes a lot of pride in this place. Rooms are lovely and airy during the day, beachfronting onto a fantastic reef which is one of the healthiest and fish populated reefs we've seen, especially for a house reef. Food is of top quality and is always presented in style. Day trips to see dolphins, go snorkelling at different sites around Bunaken, all available and organised by the team for you with minimal fuss. 15 mins from the pier which is a 30 min drive from the airport making it pretty accessible to get to such a nice isolated place so quickly. AirCon & Power in the evenings from 530pm-7am which is manageable. One thing to note is that the way the resort operates is largely communal meaning that you will have dinners with everyone else staying at the resort around a large table. I'm not going to put this as a "what you didn't like" though it's worth calling out. We were blessed with the new friends we made there as everyone was lovely and some great chats and bonds were made, though if you want to keep to yourself and not interact with others staying at your resort this is not the place to do it.

Amazing bungalows, very well furnished and decorated, definitely a premium feel. The host is lovely and welcoming and making sure that you have a wonderful time. We had some romantic candle lit dinners on the beach, the food was very refined (fusion Asian/western cuisine)! The reef is nice, beautiful coral.

nothing i could think of, it was just how it should be and better

We had a wonderful week at bobocha siladen. All rooms are very tastefully furnished, very clean and comfortable. The whole team is very courteous and you feel very welcome. The food is incredibly good, fresh and varied. Overall the best hotel in North Sulawesi we have visited. Again many thanks to Sarah and the team for everything it was more then beautiful.

we experienced a fantastic week in Bobocha Siladen island is amazing but Bobocha accommodation, team kindness and professionally, well trained by the best host we ever met in years a years around Asia made the stay unique and unforgettable. cozy and clean cottages, amazing food and continuous cuddles all day long give an extra magic to this small slice of paradise. thank you so much Sarah an to the whole team, we hope to back soon.

Electrity longer than 7am. Internet availability.

The Beach is fantastic and cleaned several times a day. nice snorkeling, the reef is very close. the place is lovely and quiet and all dishes are served at the beach. the pool is fantastic. We really loved our stay.

Very clean, great location with beach front, amazing host (i.sarah), and delicous food

No access to coffee before 7am. The towels were stained and needed replacing. Two pillows on the bed per person would have been an improvement instead of just one. Despite the food being excellent, dinner lacked either a dessert or a fruit platter to finish and the offer of tea and coffee. The swimming pool needs a shade cover as the water was hot during the middle of the day. Some umbrellas around the pool would provide a shady area to sit on the lounges provided. Having only one boat, it was a scramble amongst guests to book it for snorkeling as it was used for transfers as well. The salty shower water gets a bit much after a few days. I would equate the resort to a top-end backpackers, not an upmarket resort as the price indicates and is marketed as such. With a few tweaks, it could be amazing and many discomforts such as no power during the day could be overlooked. I feel that for what is offered, it's overpriced.

The location was amazing and the snorkeling on the house reef was wonderful. The food was good and the staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast sitting on the beach in the mornings was a highlight.

Timing for dinner was definitely too strict (and too early, 18:30) & guests needs were managed without so much attention

The food was definitely a plus
