    Joseph Guesthouse is a couple of simple, but comfortable rooms in a beautiful setting by the river. Billy was so friendly and a lot of fun. We stayed with our two teens, and it was so rainy we couldn't see Kelimutu that day. Billy offered for them the opportunity to paint a mural on his wall. It was such a wonderful experience! We can't wait to come back and totally recommend if you want a simple but comfortable stay that supports a local tourism business. 5th

    Great location just outside of the “city”, so you wont have scooters and cars making noise during the night, just the sounds of nature. Benny, the guy in charge, is absolutely amazing. Always happy to help, and always there to greet you with a smile. Made my stay super comfortable.

    We had a short but very good stay in Joseph's guesthouse! It was the most beautiful room we stayed in on our three-week trip through Flores: very modern, clean, large bathroom and an area to relax sitting outside. The host was very nice and helpful. We would love to come back at any time!

    Water pressure is, like almost everywhere in Flores, on the weak side.

    Room was a good size, clean, and has a beautiful view on the garden, and you hear the calming sound of the river. Enough outlets and a bedside light that actually worked. Billy, the owner, is a very nice relaxed guy and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time in Moni/Kelimutu.

    I enjoyed the fact that it was on the main highway to Maumere. A drop of from the bus directly to the home stay. I was sick and the fact that I couldn’t enjoy the surroundings and made it to the river bellow was a shame but I’ll be back. Feeling stronger and held by a loving community of kind people.

    Excellent place to stay, beautiful view from the terrace on ricefields and river! The room is so nice furnished and even a plant in the room, light and a small table next to the bed, Mosquitonet, spacious bathroom with hot shower! Only one kilometer to town, flat walk through rice fields. A small shop is nearby.... The breakfast with egg, bread and fruits was very delicious! Billy is very friendly and helpful, he organised a driver for Kalimutu and helped me getting a transport to Maumere. Loved the view from the room and terrace! It's at the main road but stairs down, so you don't have much noise from the road.

    The guesthouse is about a 15 minute walk from the ‘main’ part of Moni, just up the road. This was fine for us but something to bear in mind. There wasn’t any wifi either, but nowhere in Moni has wifi 😊

    The room was basic but clean and perfect for two nights. The owner was really friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and helping us organise transport. For the price the room is great value for money.

Billy was so friendly and welcoming, he helped us hire a bike for the day and gave us the best advice on what to do in Moni and helped us with our onwards travel! Would definitely recommend!

    ALL. It locates in Moni, the best spot to go to Kelimutu to see sunrise. The host, Billy was amazing, he was so helpful and managed everything well. He helped to get a ride to Kelimutu and also the travel to go back to Ende. The room was comfy and huge, I love the fresh smell linen that made me slept really well. The place was near to small river so you can hear the soft stream in the night, so peaceful. The breakfast was simple yet so tasty, with generous portion of coffee! Love it so much. I def recommend this place if you wanna have a comfy stay at Moni.

    The bathroom could be improved, but it is still well kept and very clean. Breakfast is simple but nonetheless made with care by Billy.

    Billy is really a great person, always ready to help you and make suggestions. He also helped us a lot in organizing excursions and pick-ups, at really honest prices. The place is simple and humble, but very clean and comfortable. The location is strategic because it is slightly outside the center of Moni, but you can reach it on foot with a nice walk on a road in the middle of the rice fields.
