Our Team

How this desk is organised

This page describes Biak Island as it actually works: a small desk that handles stays and on-the-ground arrangements, organised by responsibility rather than by biography.

• Property vetting. Visits or verifies the property, checks the licence and the room or villa count, and records what the photographs leave out.
• On-the-ground coordination. Arranges transfers, arrival timing and anything the property does not handle itself.
• Guest liaison. Passes requests to the property in writing and reports back what the property actually agreed to.
• Fact checking. Checks seasons, access, distances and published prices against the property and official sources.

Why there are no names on this page

You will not find degrees, years of service or licence numbers on this page. Those are verifiable facts or they are decoration, and we are not willing to publish them as decoration. If it matters to you who is handling your file, ask. You will be told the name of the person on it and what they are responsible for, in writing, before you commit to anything.

What we publish, and how it is checked

Figures and rules published here are taken from the operator or the responsible authority. When we have not been able to confirm something, the page says it is unconfirmed instead of rounding it into a fact. If you find something on this site that is wrong or out of date, tell us and it will be corrected on the page rather than quietly deleted.
