Are you looking for a quiet hotel without large tourist groups around you, where you can simply be yourself and, above all, enjoy yourself? Then you've come to the right place! This fantastic hotel, with the only swimming pool on Banda Neira, is an oasis of tranquility. The six large rooms with large bathrooms have been authentically and meticulously renovated, as has the entire hotel. Owner and hostess Ribka and her staff are at your service throughout the day. Ribka, originally from the Banda Islands, is very helpful if you need anything and knows the right people to connect you with. With a large organization, you often don't get personal attention, have to wait for others, and almost everything is arranged for you! If you want to do something privately or with a small group, Ribka can arrange it! Diving, snorkeling, boat trips to the islands, nature walks, sports—everything is possible! Before going to Ribka, my wife and I visited four other hotels and unanimously chose Ribka's hotel. We had a fantastic experience! You too will enjoy your stay here and find true relaxation! Thank you, dear Ribka!

The property is beautiful and full of charm, with a peaceful garden setting and the only swimming pool on the island — perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. The rooms are cozy, clean, and have a warm, local feel.
The restaurant offers a great variety of food, and the setting is very relaxing, especially when dining on the terrace overlooking the pool and garden. One of the highlights of my stay was how friendly and welcoming the people are — the staff and hosts made me feel right at home and were always happy to help with anything I needed.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Banda Neira — whether you’re here to relax, dive, or explore the island’s rich history, Ribka’s is a great place to...
Read moreLovely, boutique hotel, located in a quieter part of town- about 10 minutes walk from the port or a short ojek ride. I enjoyed my stay here- the gardens and pool are perfect for relaxing in and the rooms are pool side, neat and comfortable. Breakfast is tasty and shared on the terrace with other guests. The hotel has only 6 rooms so it feels very safe and peaceful. Also Ribkah is a great host- very friendly and happy to help with anything you need! Stay here, you...
