“Great Place to Stay”
+The room is spotless and the bed very comfortable. Richard is extremely friendly and helpful. I've stayed in several places in the Kei Islands, and this is by far the best. Truly beautiful beach

“Not as pictured”
+Oceanfront. The view from the cottage is amazing.
−Josepha Cottage was disappointing for us. The photos need to be updated to reflect reality. The cottage itself is okay, but was filthy. Next to the cottage is a construction site with a new cottage being built - it's full or rubble and trash. We had a few incidents with locals from the nearby village within a short time of arriving which included a group of men snooping around the villa when we left (we could see them from the restaurant), and then a small group of a man and two girls made themselves at home on our porch and pool loungers while they charged their phone in the wall while we were inside the villa. We were very uncomfortable and left early and lost quite a bit of money on this accomodation. It should also be noted that they leave fake reviews on their own accounts.

“Best room on this beach!”
+This is hands down the nicest room on this beach, and I've stayed in almost all of them. The standards and style are a notch above the rest. The rest have quirk and charm, but this one is simply NICE! There are comfortable seating options galore, the is EXTREMELY comfortable. The staff is lovely and location is perfect.
−There was construction next door but this place is so great I didn't care. In fact I kind of like sitting there watching them make progress.

“This has to be nearly the perfect accommodation on the perfect beach”
+This has to be nearly the perfect accommodation on the perfect beach. Enjoy it before it is gone. Stunning, picturesque views of the sea and sunset. Thoughtfully designed private building well maintained. Quiet day and night. Five minute walk to the two good places to eat nearby. As an open ocean swimmer I couldn't ask for more. A couple of steps away from clear water with an extensive reef to swim. Easy to arrange boat trips or scooters. Very responsive hosts nearby.
−Very little privacy as the locals and tourists make themselves comfortable on or around you patio. Bit of a fishbowl in that way. The curtains designed for covering the front windows did not cover all the windows as you would expect.

“Wahrscheinlich einer der besten Unterkünfte auf der ganzen Insel”
+Top Lage am beliebtesten Strand. Gastgeber reagiert schnell und hilft bei der Organisation von Touren/Fahrzeugmiete. Super Ausstattung, lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig.

“pessimo servizio , molte inefficienze, staff inesistente”
−nulla e come nelle foto , il bungalow che nelle foto sembra singolo sulla spiaggia , in realta e attaccato ad altri bungalow nei quali alla sera la gente fa rumore e beve fino a tarda notte. la colazione e essenziale e servita sempre in ritardo fino a oltre mezz ora . la spiaggia adesso non e piu come anni fa nelle foto ma e piena di gente e la vetrata del vostro bungalow e inutile in quanto se non tenete la tenda chiusa , tutte le persone guardano dentro. il rubinetto del lavandino non funzionava. la doccia era inefficiente , tutto incrostato di calcare . richard e stato scortese e mi ha venduto delle escursioni a prezzi gonfiati. per avere un grande margine di guadagno. anni fa forse il posto era bello , ma ora cambiata la gestione cambiato tutto. di fronte al bungalow l immondizia non veniva mai rimossa quindi era pieno di gatti cani e formiche vi consiglio di aprire google maps e di contattare villa di stella che e nella stessa posizione ma la struttura e nuova e pulita e lo staff molto efficiente . josepha cottage inoltre e un mini bungalow con lo spazio si e no sufficiente per muoversi . 👎🏻pessima scelta non tornero piu

+Pengalaman menginap yang sangat menyenangkan di Josepha Cottage. Servis dari Ibu Rufi dan Richard sangat ramah dan membantu. Fasilitasnya tergolong lengkap, bersih, dan nyaman, dengan lokasi yang strategis,tepat di depan pantai dengan pasir yang sangat halus dan putih. Semuanya benar-benar sesuai harapan. Untuk makan siang dan malam, saya memilih makan di Warung Soto Mama Lisa dan Ten Cafe. Semua menu yang saya coba sangat enak dan fresh. Sementara itu, menu breakfast dari Josepha Cottage favorit saya adalah pancake pisangnya. Sunset di sini sangat menakjubkan. Sangat direkomendasikan dan pasti ingin menginap lagi jika berkunjung ke sini
−nothing,everything was good
