Review: "When booked the hotel was described as a “resort” which is why we planned the detour to its location. Upon arrival there was no staff to welcome us - a text to the number on the locked door was quickly returned with a lock box code to grant us enterance to our studio apartment. The advertised laundry facilities were not available for use, the swimming pool while open was in great need of maintenance or filtering ( both) and as such was not an attractive option for the afternoon.

Milia Mountain Retreat

Location: Kissamos
Review: Gorgeous location, fantastic restaurant, helpful staff, clean room and linens, very relaxing atmosphere. A magical place, by Celia, November 11, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

Sapphire Horizon Suites

Location: Kissamos
Review: EXCELLENT!! I can say enough good things about this hotel. Spotlessly clean and everyone that worked there were amazing! The apt was cleaned every day and that included mopping the entire apt. They were incredibly accomodating when we needed early breaksfast. the hospitality was top notch. The only thing I would suggest is to leave a squeegie in each bathroom as it would help with the water on the floor from the shower. Highly recommend! Such lovely people and a beautiful place., by Carmel, August 17, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Family Bikakis

Review: I really enjoyed my stay at Family Bikakis in Kissamos! Yiannis, the owner, was so helpful and kind. My room was very clean, comfortable, and quiet. I had a great view from my balcony.
