Koukoumi Vegan Boutique Hotel

It was an absolutely dreamy stay at the hotel. The booking went smoothly. We received the necessary information in a timely manner. The staff on site was always very friendly, warm, and helpful. Everything was always impeccably clean and tidy. The food is a vegan dream. If possible, definitely book the tasting menu, it is absolutely recommended and a taste experience. 100% likelihood of repetition.

We had a great stay overall, but still I gave lower rating due to how expensive it was. Highlights: 1. One of the dinner main courses (seitan steak, ‘Sinless Memory’) and one of the lunch deserts (pistachio gelato) were just amazing. 2. Room cleanliness and upkeep 3. My wife really enjoyed the Yoga class 4. Great atmosphere from staff and even other guests 5. Getting a really luxurious experience, especially when it comes to dinner and lunch. 6. Just the general feeling that they do what they do out of love, gave me a cozy feeling from the minute I walked in. Lowlights: 1. Maybe it’s just my simplistic preferences, but I didn’t like most of the food. It was often just too intense. Quite often things just had some sort of ‘bacon’-y flavor to them which I really didn’t like (even the morning tofu scramble). And I have tasted salt less salty than the miso, which was being too-generously used in several dishes. It also didn’t help that it was really hard to understand from the menu, what the dish is actually. 2. Shower, toilets, etc.: a. There was a noticeable sewage scent coming from the toilet room, probably from the drain in the floor. b. Really didn’t like the choice of shower heads. Using vintage metal ones was heavy, harder to operate, and felt less clean. c. Too few places to hang towels. Putting two hangers in the same space as where the shower takes place - we had to choose whether to not keep them there to dry or to risk getting them wet while we shower. 3. Room didn’t have enough light – natural light wasn’t abundant and lamplight couldn’t cover parts of the room as well. 4. Room had two windows, one of which faces the busy road just outside the hotel. If we kept it open, we had terrible noise coming in. If we kept it close – no air flow (which we needed because of the sewage scent). 5. The seating options around the pool were not very comfy. 6. Staff (mainly the waiters/waitresses) were very professional and gracious, but for me it was too much so; almost robotic. Considering that the staff are the only people I talked with for three days (aside from my wife), this could have made the experience that much better.

A wonderful hotel with charming and attentive staff and a fabulous vegan menu. Our daily yoga and meditation sessions with Alex were healing and energising; the perfect start to each day! We also recommend trying the 9 course tasting menu and the cooking class. The pool area was very relaxing with a variety of comfy sun beds. The well-equipped gym and a sauna were an added bonus.

Perfect vacation - we spent 5 days here with our young-adult son. From the large rooms, with their amazing matresses and pillows, to the heavenly pool area to the delightful meals, we felt pampered and relaxed throughout our stay. The staff was gracious and helpful, and the owner of the hotel is so lovely. We look forward to our next stay.

Das gesamte Personal und die Rezeption ist top und mega freundlich. Das vegane Frühstück ist sehr gut und liebevoll zubereitet, der Cafe ausgezeichnet, wenn auch das Frühstück mit doch wenig Abwechslung bei mehr als ein paar Tagen Aufenthalt. Der Pool ist schön. Der Fitnessraum sehr gut. Das ruhige Hotel ist ein wenig abgelegen, mit Auto oder dem nahen Bus ist das aber ok und das weiss man vorher. Minus sind die an sich grossen, spartanisch eingerichteten, aber eben nicht einwandfreien Zimmer, das sollte dem Management schon auffallen, defektes Fliegennetz oder Flecken in der Dusche gehören auch in der Saison repariert. Auch sind die Liegen bzw viel zu viele Stühle (warum gerade diese Auswahl?) am Pool wenig einladend für ein Tag am Pool. Fazit: 5 Sterne werden für uns im Vergleich mit Top-Hotels dadurch leider nicht erreicht, das gute vegane Konzept des Hotels könnte optimiert werden.

The staff, restaurant and general relaxed atmosphere were great.
