Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not many people know about this site. But this old mosque is just full of history. This is the first mosque in East Indonesia dated back to year 1414. People in this are is still using this mosque for religious activities. The pole, the pulpit, and even some of the roof beam of the mosque are still original. They all made of wood.
In the mosque there are two old Al-Qur’an written by hand by Imam Muhammad Arikulapessy in 1550 and by Mushaf Nur Cahya in 1590. Every time big Mosque of Istiqlal in Jakarta has festival, these old Al-Qur’an are brought to Jakarta. Many thinks needed to be repaired, said the man who take care the mosque. Because if it rains very hard, the water leaked in to the mosque. I hope that Ambon authority also will pay more attention to this historic mosque.

The oldest mosque operating in Ambon, and an interesting building in the local style of mosques. Reputed to have moved from its original site through divine power, this mosque is also close to Fort Amsterdam and Gereja Tua Immanuel. See all three as it's a good one hour drive from Kota Ambon to get here!
