The facility is clean and well maintained. It was easy to walk to the beach or the market. As well as the restaurants nearby. The owner and staff were incredibly helpful. I would stay here again.

Family oriented feels!
A pleasant stay at this well equipped and clean accomo. When you walk in, the front yard has various bikes and kids toys scattered around giving it the that family oriented feel, however it was really quiet. The old man that greeted us was super friendly even though we checked in really late. Would not hesitate to come back again!

Great location and very friendly staffs
Nice hotel and close to the beach. Easy to walk about and the restaurants shops are around the corner. The staffs are very friendly and accommodating ( has a friend joined me last min in the trip and the hotel provided the extra bed without additonal charge) however the hotel facility is a bit disappointing . Given the cheap price and great location and staffs I would not mind this a bit run down hotel if you are traveling with low budget.

Nice views
Just a typical Greek holiday apartment on the third floor so a long climb to our room but had a nice view. No noise apart from dogs and cockerels, Kitchen was very basic with not a lot to cook with. We found the bed and the pillows very hard ALSO THE BED BROKE on our 2nd night because of an earlier botched repair luckily we do not suffer with bad back or it could have been very different. The bed was fixed the next day, but no apology or concern from the owners. Owners generally not very welcoming.

Comfortable place
When we arrive it was a bit confusing as there is no sign for reception or where to go when u arrive,after 3min lady arrive and without asking as who we are she took us straight to the room. Room very cosy and comfortable for a price was good, Ac working ,lovely view from balcony,we really liked that area Keri, touristic but quiet, i wouldnt be hapoy to stay in Laganas n Kalamaki as is tooo touristic. Towels changed daliy and sheet. Room was cleaned litttle bit only refreshed but it was perfect for us. We were litterally only sleeping there. You can rent the car litterally office is along the herodotos studios building which is fantastic. Overall we had a good stay.

Clean hotel but nothing to do
There is absolutely nothing to do here but sit on your balcony and look at the garden if you are on the first floor. The proprietors seem to forget that they have guests at times and allow their children to make as much noise as they like and invite their family over for parties. But they don't interact with the guests and they don't provide entertainment so you don't get to know any of the other guests.

Great family hotel in a quiet area
We had a fantastic stay at the Herodotos Studios. Very good sized room with a lovely view towards the garden and the sea. The only downside I found was the lack of mosquito nets on the windows/balcony door. It's family ran hotel, which creates a feeling of comfort and cosiness. The owners are extremely kind and helpful and provide the most delicious breakfast. The hotel is away from the craziness of a beach party resort, but rather situated in a quiet and rural area with nice tavernas around, a couple of shops and a bakery.

The facilities are very basic, and the facility seems quite old, which is especially evident in the bathroom and kitchenette. Some of the dishes in the cupboard were dirty, as was the refrigerator. We didn't want to use the kitchenette. The price was good, but we were happy to leave after two nights.

Room was big with a nice view. The TV was old and sometimes wasn't working, air conditioning satisfying. Cleanliness was alright, they were changing sheets and towels every 3 days, but they weren't cleaning properly the toilet and the floor under the bed and in the corners. The soap when we arrived in the bathroom was used. Its was really peaceful and the owner was very kind.

Quiet and quaint hotel with all the basics
We had a great time at Herodotos Studios in the second half of September. First and foremost, Keri Lake is a tiny village and lacks the loud and, to us, unappealing, Brit-centric characteristics of other parts of the island. There are no English breakfasts or Shamrock Irish pubs here. As many have noted, the water in the hotel is not potable; there are 2 stores within 100 metres of the hotel where large jugs of water can be purchased. The rooms on the 3rd floor have very high, beautiful, wood ceilings and balconies overlooking the sea in the distance. We found everything to be clean and the kitchen to have everything needed. The owner was kind - if you do not ask for anything, you will be left alone with a mid-week change of sheets and towels. If you need anything, he was very accommodating and even drove us to the airport. The cost for this service is 30 euro each way, keep in mind. The beach by the hotel is ~7 min walk; it is a large but very narrow small-pebble beach; however, once in the water, the bottom is all sand, no seaweed, and very shallow. A 20-minute walk will take you to Marathia beach which has large pebbles, a more abrupt depth and interesting fish.

Fantastic find
We stayed here for a week as were doing a diving course in Keri and couldn't have been happier. Had everything we needed and in a perfect location. Loved sitting out on the balcony having breakfast and looking at the view! Keri was amazing so nice and quiet and relaxing and the hotel was perfect for what we were looking for. The owners truly went out of their way to be helpful, even driving us into Zakynthos town to use a cash machine as there were none in Keri! Lovely people and really made our stay so much more pleasant. Can rent cars and quad bikes from the hotel, we rented a quad for a day and it was great. Only downside would be the taste of the water, we had to use bottled water to make tea and coffee as water out of the tap tasted really salty even after boiling, and the town cockerels crowing all night but nothing to do with the hotel you'd have this issue anywhere in Keri I think. Really reasonable rates, great value for money and good quality. Had a great time playing with the kittens in the tree, will definitely be back!

Nice Hotel offering a very warm welcome.
We enjoyed a relaxing week at the Herodotus Hotel in April this year. Situated in a delightful unspoilt part of the Island very close to the lovely Keri Lake. The Hotel is clean and very comfortable and we were given a very warm welcome by our hosts who were always available should we need any help. We would definately recommend this hotel which we found very good value for money.

Vicino a negozi di alimentari e ristoranti. Pessima pulizia all'arrivo in quanto bagno e Angolo cottura sporchi. Durante il soggiorno cambio quotidiano degli asciugamani del bagno e rifacimento dei letti. Se non fosse per la mancanza di igiene all'arrivo il giudizio sarebbe stato molto migliore. Da segnalare la disponibilità al check in che è avvenuto, causa di cambi orari e successivi ritardi della compagnia aerea, verso le 22 ben oltre quanto stabilito dalla struttura che in ogni caso era stata da me preavvertita.

Fris en kleinschalige private accomodatie met voldoende ruimte. Verder geen faciliteiten (ontbijt, winkeltje) Rustige omgeving van het eiland en heerlijke uitvalsbasis voor exploratie van de rest van het eiland (mits een auto tot de beschikking is). Kleine rustige boulevard met heerlijke restaurants. Op het moment van ons bezoek (begin mei) was nog niets alles open omdat het seizoen doorgaans derde/vierde week van mei pas begint voor de eilandbewoners ...

Überbuchung kein Studio frei!!! Kein Service!!!
Leider kann ich nicht direkt eine Bewertung über herodotos studios schreiben, da wir nicht dort nächtigen konnten, da kein Zimmer frei war, obwohl wir gebucht hatten. Alles begann so wir kamen am Flughafen an und warteten auf unseren flughafentransfer, der für 15 Euro extra angeboten wurde. Hmm naja niemand kam also beschlossen wir dort anzurufen. Die Rezeptionistin war so unhöflich was uns einfällt und wir sollen uns doch ein Taxi nehmen. Gut Taxi kostete 28 Euro. Dort angekommen natürlich zu früh, da der Check Inn erst um 14:30 ist, war für uns kein Problem wir wollten nur die Koffer abstellen und dann gleich auf erste Erkundungstour. Um 15 kamen wir dann wieder zurück zum Anwesen, wo wir einmal niemanden finden konnten, unsere Koffer waren versperrt uns weit uns breit kein Mensch. Ok dann haben wir mal gesucht, irgendwann kam ein Alter Mann, der kaum Englisch konnte uns versuchte den Besitzer, der dort anscheinend auch wohnte, über die Gegensprechanlage zu erreichen. Die quatschten eine Zeit lang und schließlich kam ein anderen älterer Mann und deutete uns ihm zu folgen. Wir verließen das Anwesen und gingen die Straße rauf in ein anderes Haus, wo uns der Mann in ein winziges Zimmer mit zwei Einzelbetten schleppte und sagte das is unser Apartment. Alsoo als Aufklärung wir haben gebucht ein Studio mit seaview und Doppelbett im oberen Stock. Bekommen haben wir eben dieses winzige Zimmer im Erdgeschoss mit Mini Fenster mit Blick auf ein Gebüsch!!! Ich natürlich rasend

Albergo appena sufficiente
Purtroppo il soggiorno all'herodotos e' cominciato subito male. Nella descrizione della stanza,e quindi nella prenotazione,si parlava di "vista mare"..ebbene il mare nn si vedeva affatto! Il titolare,con fare quasi beffardo, ci ha invitato a tornare in stanza con lui in modo da farci vedere che il mare c'era. In realta',in lontananza e dopo un'ampia vista su cortile,su strada e fra gli alberi si intravede un centimetro di mare! Per carita', io in viaggio mi adatto a tutto,nn sono tipo da mille pretese,ma essere presa in giro proprio nn mi piace. Per capirci meglio,l'herodotos ha tutte le stanze che affacciano dal lato in direzione del mare ma la "vista mare" e' un'altra cosa! Sarebbe carino che descrivessero meglio le loro stanze onde evitare equivoci! L'albergo e' gestito da 2 coniugi e quindi in reception nn c'e' altro personale oltre a loro, il che significa che ci sono a loro piacimento e che quindi spesso nn ci si trova nessuno. Nn mi sono stati chiesti i documenti ne al check in ne al check out...poiche' ho lasciato l'albergo alle 5.30 del mattino,giustamente il titolare dormiva e il check out si e' limitato a lasciare le chiavi appese fuori dalla stanza come sua richiesta. Tralasciando la doccia che e' un tutt'uno con il water, parliamo delle pulizie,che consistono nel solo svuotamento del cestino della cucina. L'unica nota positiva e' che in spiaggia si arriva in pochi minuti a piedi e per fortuna il mare di limni keri e' davvero molto bello!

Ακριβό για τις παροχές ανεξαρτήτως περιόδου
θα μπορούσα να έχω μια καλύτερη γνώμη αν δεν πλήρωνα κατά τη γνώμη μου πολύ περισσότερα χρήματα από ότι αξιζαν οι παροχές που έλαβα, αν για παράδειγμα αντί για 135ευρώ ευρώ την ημέρα πλήρωνα 70ευρώ θα ήμουν ικανοποιημένος αλλά δεν έγινε έτσι και το κρεββάτι που έτριζε όταν άλλαζα πλευρό με ξυπνούσε και το στρώμα με το ελατήριο στα πλευρά μου με ενοχλούσε και το πλαστικό τραπεζομάντηλο με ενοχλούσε και το ότι άλλαζαν σεντόνια-πετσέτες κάθε μέρα έφτασε κι αυτό να με ενοχλεί γιατί πλήρωνα μια παραπάνω.

オーナーさんが親切です。
中心地からは離れてますが、その分静かです。小さいキッチンがあり、ちょっとした物なら作れます。すぐ近くにミニスーパーがあり、パンや卵、野菜、ハムなどが買えます。シーズンオフに行ったので初日以外は私達だけで、とても静かに滞在出来ました。お願いしてとても美味しいオリーブオイルを分けて貰い、ワインまで頂きました。FAXを使わせてもらったりE-Ticketの印刷をさせてもらったりととても親切でした。冬季仕様の宿ではないので暖房はなく、朝晩は少し寒かったです。島なので仕方ないのですが、水道水が海水混じりでシャワーを浴びてもサラッとはしません。それらを差し引いても、とても良い宿でした。
