housekeeping supervisor/guest relations

About Anna’s Beach House

Anna’s Beach House is a private luxury beachfront villa on Gili Air, offering an elevated hospitality experience with personalized service for our guests.

We are not looking for a basic housekeeper. We are looking for someone who understands that luxury hospitality is created through details: cleanliness, preparation, warm guest communication, flexibility, privacy, and proactive service.

The villa currently has a small team, including a manager and housekeeping staff. This position will work closely with the manager and will also supervise the other housekeeper in day-to-day housekeeping and villa operations.

Position Overview

We are looking for a Housekeeping Supervisor / Guest Relations person based on Gili Air.

The role combines hands-on housekeeping, breakfast service, guest support, supervision of another housekeeper, stock management, laundry coordination, pool care, light maintenance, and daily villa operations.

The right person must be reliable, flexible, proactive, well-organized, and comfortable communicating with guests in English.

This role requires someone who can take responsibility, notice problems before guests do, and make sure the villa is always prepared to a high standard.

Main Responsibilities

Guest Relations & Personalized Service

Welcome guests on arrival and assist with check-in.

Explain the villa, facilities, breakfast arrangements, bicycles, house rules, staff support, and any other important information guests need during their stay.

Communicate with guests while they are staying at the villa.

Politely check in with guests when appropriate, without being intrusive.

Handle small guest requests and coordinate solutions when needed.

Support a personalized, elevated guest experience.

Understand when guests want friendly interaction and when they prefer full privacy.

Housekeeping Supervision

Supervise the other housekeeper in daily tasks.

Make sure housekeeping standards are followed consistently.

Coordinate the daily work between team members.

Help ensure that check-ins, check-outs, breakfast service, cleaning, laundry, stock, pool, garden, and villa refresh tasks are properly handled.

Report issues clearly to the manager.

Support the manager in keeping villa operations organized and professional.

Breakfast Service

Prepare and serve breakfast for guests according to the villa’s standards.

Coordinate breakfast timing based on guest preferences.

Work together with the other housekeeper when both are on duty.

Be able to prepare breakfast alone when the other team member is off.

Make sure the breakfast area, kitchen, dishes, and presentation are clean and well prepared.

Daily Villa Refresh & Guest Privacy

After breakfast, refresh the villa if the guests want daily service.

This may include making beds, cleaning bathrooms, tidying guest areas, refreshing towels if needed, cleaning the kitchen, and making sure the villa looks beautiful and guest-ready.

Guest privacy is very important. If guests request privacy or do not want housekeeping after breakfast, the team must respect this.

In some cases, if guests only want breakfast and full privacy, there may be very little or no additional guest-facing work during the day.

The role also includes returning in the afternoon, usually around 5 PM, to refresh outdoor areas, check the villa, tidy the terrace, garden, pool, and beachfront areas, and make sure everything is ready for the evening, unless guests request privacy.

Check-in / Check-out Days

Check-in and check-out days require more work and stronger organization.

When there is a same-day check-out and check-in, the villa must be fully cleaned, prepared, restocked, checked, and ready for the next guests on time.

This includes bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, pool area, terrace, garden, beach area, towels, linens, amenities, breakfast stock, and presentation details.

Attention to detail is very important on these days.

Stock Management

Monitor and organize villa supplies, including breakfast ingredients, cleaning products, guest amenities, drinking water, toiletries, towels, linens, spare parts, and other operational items.

Make sure there is always enough stock available.

Inform the manager in advance when items need to be purchased or restocked.

Keep storage areas organized and easy to manage.

Laundry Coordination

Coordinate laundry with the laundry service provider.

Make sure linens and towels are sent, received, checked, folded, stored, and available on time.

Check linen and towel quality and report damage, stains, or replacement needs.

Pool, Garden & Outdoor Area

Pool care is handled internally by the team.

This role includes hands-on support with pool-related tasks together with the other housekeeper.

The pool, terrace, garden, and beachfront areas must always look clean, fresh, and guest-ready.

The role also includes simple garden tasks when needed, such as trimming plants, cleaning leaves, organizing outdoor furniture, and keeping the beach-facing area presentable.

Light Maintenance

When there are no guests, or during quieter periods, the team also handles simple maintenance tasks.

This may include basic painting, small repairs, replacing simple spare parts, basic touch-ups, garden maintenance, cleaning outdoor areas, or preparing the villa for future guests.

If something breaks and it is simple to fix, the team should handle it when possible.

If a technician is needed, the role includes helping organize the technician, supervising the work, and making sure the issue is solved properly.

Coordination With Service Providers

Coordinate with external service providers when needed, including laundry, technicians, pest control, transport providers, or other local suppliers.

Arrange timing, follow up, and make sure work is done properly.

Supervise workers when they come to the villa.

Report problems or delays clearly to the manager.

Flexible Guest Support

This role requires flexibility. The working time depends partly on guest needs.

Normally, the team comes in the morning based on the guests’ requested breakfast time, prepares breakfast, refreshes the villa if requested, and returns again in the afternoon.

However, if guests check in late, have an evening request, or if there is an urgent issue at the villa, someone from the team must be available to assist.

Because Gili Air is a small tropical island, unexpected situations can happen, such as power cuts, water issues, weather-related problems, broken equipment, or urgent guest requests. In these cases, either this person or another team member must go to the villa and help solve the issue.

Flexibility and responsibility are essential for this position.

Well-organized and proactive.

Able to work independently.

Able to supervise another housekeeper.

High attention to detail.

High cleanliness standards.

Flexible with working hours.

Comfortable working in a small team.

Able to solve practical problems.

Comfortable coordinating with local service providers.
