I stayed here on my own for good on two weeks in September of 2011. I would recommend this place to any type of traveler; be it someone traveling alone, a honeymoon couple and or anyone in-between. Paula and Phil, the proprietors, will go out of their way to make you feel at home. Words that come to mind when... More

We spend more than 10 nights at the lodge and enjoyed every minute of it. Phil and Paula are perfect hosts to make you feel comfortable and so nice to chat with. Good spacious rooms and so much other places for the guests to sit or rest. Dinner at various places near the house or the garden. And the swimming... More

My wife and I are regular visitors to Bahowo Lodge and think of it more as visiting friends rather than booking in to a hotel. With staff who know your name and the integration you experience with the local village it really is a unique experience to stay here. Throw in the two most laid back and flexible hosts you... More

My friends and I stayed for 4 nights at Bahowo Lodge, Sulawesi Manado, Indonesia. It was the most memorable experienced you've ever had. The lodge owners Phil and wife Paula were the excellent hosts.

Stayed at Bahowo Lodge for three nights and loved it! The food is delicious and plentiful, the a/c works great, and the village is just fantastic.

Nothing but great memories from this place!

Going to Bunaken/Manado? Bahowo Lodge is the only place to stay for great company, service and the food - which is fantastic! I've stayed with Phil and Paula 3 times now and plan to get back there asap. Rob Williams. UK

Staying at the Bahowo Lodge doesn't feel like staying at a hotel: it feels like going away to stay with very good friends who are particularly solicitous about making sure that you are comfortable in every way. The owners simply dealt with every request instantly, and anticipated a bunch of requests before we made them. The atmosphere was wonderfully sociable,... More

Just returned from my seventh visit to Bahowo Lodge. I feel relaxed and refreshed. My husband has enjoyed two weeks of diving and I've enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Lodge plus visits to Manado for eating out, shopping and a fish pedicure! Phil and Paula make you feel so welcome that it's like going home every time we... More
