Guest Reviews

• Nicole (7/5): Great location - Traditional style apartment in a great location. The bed was comfortable and had cooking facilities. We were told that we were the first booking for the season and I don’t think the apartment had been checked properly before leasing out for the season. There was a washing machine (great bonus!) but the nearest power outlet was outside the room and the cord didn’t reach so had to ask for an extension cord. There was also no kettle (easy enough to boil water in a saucepan though) and had to ask for that too. The staff were lovely and got maintenance onto it the same day.
• Brendan (9/5): - A charming place in a lovely village – highly recommended.
• EIRINI (10/5): -
• Freya (7/5): -
• Nerea.M (10/5): -
• Laith (10/5): -
• Williams (6/5): If we had a pleasant and easy arrival we would’ve enjoyed it here more. We also didn’t have hot water the first two nigh - The location, kitchen and bedroom. The communication was very difficult. We arrived to the property at 1:30am which we let them know in advance and there were no instructions on how to find the property except for a pin on google maps. We ended up entering the wrong room and staying in a worse place with no terrace.
• Tida (8/5): -
• lucas (8/5): -
• Sam (7/5): Staff were awesome! Super friendly and helpful when asking for travel tips/hiring vehicles. Also dropped us extra to - Location, cleanliness, friendliness and helpfulness of staff Fixed shower head blasting you in the face in the shower, poor standard bed for second person
• Matt (7/5): Great budget friendly location in the great town of Plaka. - Machi’s House has as good of a location as any in Plaka. It truly was amazing having our own private parking for the ATV and we really enjoyed the courtyard. Overall the room was large and was great value for the low cost we paid. The transfer and support from their team was also top tier. If you’re on a budget, this is a good spot. The only knock on this property is the bathroom. I really think this place could skyrocket in ratings if some work was done to the bathroom. They have the bones of something amazing and this upgrade will go a long way.
• Cristina (6/5): - La ubicación es fanfástica. El personal que atiende en la oficina se limita a dar la llave y unos mapas, sin ofrecer información sobre los sitios clave de la isla, como moverse… Además el baño tenía moho.
• Laetitia (9/5): - L'appartement est sympathique, le village de Plaka est très beau.
• Eghet (10/5): -
• Laia (7/5): - Súper ben ubicat, al centre de Plaka. Genial per a prendre alguna cosa o sopar cada dia sense haver d’agafar el cotxe. A més té parking al costat i és molt còmode. El llit no és especialment còmode.
• Paola (1/5): Worst place I ever ever ever been. Dirty, old, poorly maintained and managed by rude people. - Really really really nothing. Everything was dirty, old, poorly maintained and shabby. It’s a really bad place managed by an agency of rude people. 108,20 euros per night when even the worst hostel is better than this place. Everything had stains on, even the towels. Full of dust! And the bathroom had also hairs of other guests. Literally a nightmare to me. I had to check out early and find another solution on the island because the place was a scam.
• Ευάγγελος (10/5): -
• sandra (3/5): - Draps et serviettes propres et suffisant Terrasse sans aucun mobilier donc pas d'espace extérieur pour les repas. Trop peu de vaisselle : 1 couteau pour deux ! Mobilier inconfortable. Emplacement bruyant
• Nicholas (10/5): -
• Giulia (6/5): Posizione perfetta ma struttura datata e mal gestita - Struttura nel centro di Plaka con parcheggio riservato, indispensabile per parcheggiare la sera dove è sempre pienissimo. Casa caratteristica cicladica La casa è vecchia e maltenuta. Al nostro arrivo non ci hanno subito dato il telecomando per il parcheggio e abbiamo buttato due ore a cercare parcheggio per poi dover tornare al porto a prenderlo. Il primo giorno un grosso scarafaggio ai è presentato davanti a noi. Abbiamo richiesto pulizia giornaliera ma questa veniva fatta in modo grossolano (lasciando gli asciugamani sporchi a terra) oppure non passando nemmeno per cambiare la carta igienica. La struttura ha potenziale ma la gestione è assai discutibile.
• Χρηστος (10/5): - Όμορφο παραδοσιακό κτίριο συνδεδεμένο με το άγαλμα της Αφροδίτης της Μήλου. Άνετοι χώροι. Στο κέντρο του χωριού. Με πάρκινγκ.
• Stavroula (10/5): -
• Karolina (9/5): - Σε πολύ κεντρικό σημείο
• Richard Giordano (3/5): Eviten este alojamiento, salvo que no consigan uno mejor... - Solo se puede destacar la ubicación. Horrible el colchón debe tener más de 20 años, cero mantenimiento en las instalaciones todo muy viejo. El baño no tiene ducha, nunca funcionó el agua caliente. No tiene microondas. No tiene secador de cabello. No tiene nada. El precio es obsceno por lo que dan como servicio. No lo recomiendo.
• Sandra (7/5): - La posizione ottima La doccia scomoda e si allaga facilmente. Non ci hanno mai recapitato il telecomando per il parcheggio durante il nostro soggiorno, costringendoci a parcheggiare negli spazi pubblici
• Elizabeth (7/5): Good - It was very spacious and confortable The shower is very moldy
• Indrakala (8/5): Very good - Restaurants nearby. Can walk to Klima beach. Near bus station. Good stay for one person. Though near bus station, need to drag luggage for quite a distance. Bathroom is small, drainage is in the middle, which makes it all wet after one use.
• Nikolas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maya (6/5): It was spacious and a good location, but unfortunately our bathroom leaked so we needed to get a new room in the middle -
• Katherine (2/5): Wanted to change properties but none available. Spentas little time in room as possible - Location, A/C good. Everything. Filthy, couldn’t touch anything in kitchen. Tiny terrace for one had views of weeds and clutter. Not courtyard. Bathroom sink tap broken. Bathroom glass dirty, around taps dirty. Towel rails broken and missing. Shower mouldy, towels ancient. Entrance to property appalling. Accommodation badly out of date and no way a 3 star. No kettle in kitchen and saucepan filthy so unable to make morning drinks. Only had room serviced after second night.
• Natalie (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (9/5): Superb -
• Cate (10/5): Exceptional -
• English (10/5): Wonderful retreat so chilled - The location of the accommodation was ideal. The two terraces were wonderful. The young lady cleaner made my stay. She sorted the light bulbs out in the bathroom and terrace. She was a very good staff member I hired a car but was shown the parking area but never got a fob to use the parking. The kettle was faulty I sent a message & pointed this out but it wasn't replaced. Also the hot plate was faulty. I messaged and pointed this out also but nothing was done.
• Gabriella (10/5): Exceptional - We got upgraded due to a maintenance issue with our original room, this room was amazing, just what we needed for our honeymoon. The facilities were brand new, clean and above our expectations. We would absolutely stay again, very grateful for the experience.
• Phoebe (7/5): Great value for money - Great location, easy parking, clear instructions and easy to find Think they got the cleaning schedule wrong and the cleaner came halfway through our stay, also quite a few ants due to the bin not being emptied prior to our stay
• Katerina (5/5): Passable -
• Isaacs (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kap (4/5): Great location but don't expect the place to be nice - Location, size of the apartment, strong AC. Wifi did not work for 2 days and the light bulb in one of the bathrooms wasn't working. The staff said they would fix both but never did. Also, there were holes in the sheets.
• Maitane (4/5): Not the best experience in Greece - Not the best place we have rented in Greece. The house was good located, it is new, well decorated and it was very clean but there were a couple of things we didn’t like - the room was for 3 person and when we got there there was just a double bed ready. We wrote to the house and they did not give a solution for that night. We end up sleeping the 3 of us in a double bed. Not a refund was offered - the instructions to get to the apartment were not clear. The location shared was from a parking but to access there you need a key that was at the apartment and we did not have the exact location. We been asking in the restaurant around for some help - the bathroom. The shower was the whole bathroom meaning that when you shower all the bathroom get wet and it is not confortable.
• Camila (9/5): Superb -
• Carolina (7/5): Not very happy with the info by email - The agency give us a ride to the studio I ask them if the bed was for 2 people cause by mistake I put 1 and they said it’s imposible to add someone, so I have to pay another place ( very expensive) and when arrive the bed was double.
• Ezekiel (6/5): Pleasant - Location The maid did not show up once during our stay. Also, we arrived at night and were left to find the property on our own.
• Clark (6/5): Overall ok - The location was nice. Reasonable for the price The AC in the main room did not work. The showers you had to hold in your hand to shower with.
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (7/5): Good - The property is perfect for solo travelers as it relatively small, but I found to be just right for me as I was travelling on mine own. The location is perfect for the town.
• Jessica (5/5): Overpriced - It is in a great location in Plaka, I really loved it. But other than the location, it is not worthy The ride until the accomodation when you arrive was really kind. The bathroom shower has nothing to hold it, which is weird, with the price they should have thought about something. Also, there was spider net everywhere in the room. The most scary one was right next to the bed. Another one in the bathroom door and the other one main door.
• Lais (8/5): Very good value accommodation. Simple but with everything you need and in a great location close to restaurants and shop - Great value, we were lucky to get an apartment with probably the best view, from the little balcony we could see all the way to Adamas Since we are not supposed to throw toilet paper in the toilet, I believe it’s necessary a daily cleaning of the toilet bins. Or at least having in the apartment extra bags so we could have exchanged it ourselves
• Ashlee (8/5): Very good -
• Evi (8/5): Very good -
• Alexandra (8/5): Very good - Location Parking Bathroom
• Antigone (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dina (10/5): Great place to stay if you enjoy walking. - It was a 10 minute walk to everything. There is plenty to do nearby. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great value for the price. I highly recommend!
• Amy (9/5): Traditional Greek styled home in the heart of Plaka. - Location was perfect. I love the traditional style of the place. Also the host was very friendly. Would return. The shower drain was outside the shower so the bathroom was always flooded after a wash.
• Theoni (6/5): Disappointing - Ants in the kitchen Missing some shower gel The oven was not working/ needs refreshing in general Something for the mosquitoes would have been appreciated The staff could have been more helpful (no info about the parking, the island) There was an old guy at the parking who was a bully( I believe he was just living there)
• Vasiliki (1/5): The worst service I have ever encountered. - The yard area was relatively nice and spacious. The host was completely rude, unprofessional, and unwilling to resolve any issues, and the property was old and dirty. 1. On the first day, tired from the trip, we accidentally entered the wrong room -a ridiculously small room with not even a closet (had a fake one that can be seen in the pictures)- instead of the full apartment I had booked. When, on the same day, I very politely contacted the host, accepting my part of the responsibility in the mix-up, and asked how to resolve this, I received unnecessary sarcasm and was told, "Nothing could be done about it now," as the other guest had already settled in our room. 2. On the same night, I discovered what I believe to be cat urine on the mattress after noticing an odor from the sheets when they became slightly damp from a wet towel. When I immediately confronted the host about it, informing her that we would be leaving the property and asking for a refund, I was met with more sarcasm and pettiness as she implied that I faked it. On the bright side, we managed to get a full refund after also contacting booking.com about it. 3. The location isn't ideal either, as it is too far up and inconvenient for the first and last day. Life on the island is mainly port-centered (Adamas), and I would suggest seeking accommodation there and going to Plaka, which is a beautiful place, at night for a drink or food. In conclusion, avoid at all costs! We were lucky enough to find another amazing accommodation with an awesome host, who completely saved our trip to Milos. P.S. The photos are of the room we stayed in, since we never got to see the one we booked.
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Joycelyn (10/5): Exceptional - Great location right in front of the city center. Very friendly service.
• Denise (8/5): Very good - Shower drain running free on the bathroom floor to the waste hole.... anybody entering the bathroom after someone took a shower has wet feet.
• Cat (8/5): A pleasant stay - Great location in the centre of Plaka and near the bus stop. Bed was comfortable and everything worked. Having a little table and chairs on the outdoor terrace was nice. The cleaner was so lovely!! The bathroom worked but the shower head didn’t have anything to hold it up so it was just a hose with a shower head on the end. The shower drain was in the middle of the bathroom and there was no shower curtain so the entire bathroom because very slippery, very quickly.
• Stacey (8/5): Very good -
• Melissa (8/5): Very good - Nice location in plaka, free parking lot, nice views from the bedroom, two balconies was lovely. Laundry was handy although no laundry powder provided There were ants in the kitchen even though I never used it. No laundry or shampoo conditioner soaps provided
• Gary (9/5): great location and good value - the location is very good - easy walking to shops and restaurants. The management staff was excellent and solved a couple of minor issues very quickly. Bed was very hard. The shower is designed to get water all over the bathroom floor (the drain is outside the shower) so its very hard to use after someone showers as your feet get all wet.
• Mayra (9/5): Great place for a very fair price! - The apartment is very well located and with everything you need to spend some time in Milos. Comfortable beds and well equiped kitchen, and even parking space really close to it. The booking is managed by a travel agency who took care of everything for us ( car rental, transfer, boat tours) and it seamed to be a great advantage. We had some issues with hot water and internet after a city power blackout and they fixed it very quickly. The shower could be better, but it seems to be the Greek pattern.
• Nicole (8/5): Very good - Location was excellent, place was spacious Limited kitchenware, oven not closing well; during our 5 day stay, only had housekeeping on 4th post our request
• Claudia (5/5): Passable - Good location to explore Plaka and friendly staff Okay for quick budget stay Bathroom floods anytime you have a shower. Shower is just a shower head hose not even attached to the wall. Not ideal but works for a couple days.
• Christina (8/5): Very good -
• Oksana (10/5): Good addition is parking! Next to the property,secure -
• Josh (8/5): Very good - Central to the village and quiet at night. The bathroom was cozy.
• Fiona (7/5): Great location, Plaka is a great area. - Great location, authentic, interesting historical fact The mattress were very hard, my pillow was huge. The bathroom, great if shower water didn’t splash out everywhere, squeegee for the floor would help. Bins to be emptied daily, especially toilet bin.
• Kuk (9/5): Superb - This apartment is managed by Athena Travel services in Adamas. The host asked us to get to this place just 300m from the port. The service offered by them is truly exceptional. For example, transfer is provided free of charge from Adamas to Plaka, we were also advised where to buy reasonably cheap water before going up to Plaka. Please keep up such a service, this is very much appreciated and value add. On the apartment, the apartment has all the things we need, a functional apartment. Can't comment much on the kitchen as we did not use the kitchen much since we dine in restaurant. Overall this is a value for money place to stay if you want to stay in Plaka. Nothing
• Space (9/5): Superb - The bed was super comfy and the location was great, right in the middle of Plaka Maybe the shower that didn't have a support for the shower head.
• Katherine (9/5): Superb -
• Mae (7/5): Good -
• Hogan (9/5): Superb -
• Marina (5/5): Not great value for money - The location was good. Central and just a short walk to the bus stop. The agency also let me have an early check in which was greatly appreciated. Wifi was good. The room smelt very strongly of damp. There were quite a lot of insects in the room and what appeared to be wood lice, presumably from the rotting doorframe in the bathroom. The bed was uncomfortable as there were two ill fitting mattresses on the bed. The bed sheets were too small for the bed and kept coming off. Would have been good to have been provided with a portable stove to make coffee in the morning as many places do in Greece.
• Christina (10/5): Exceptional - Really clean and cozy. The lady who cleaned was also really kind. Definitely a great place to stay.
• Fred (8/5): Everything I expected and more - The location in the middle of Plaka close to the restaurants and sunset locations was picture perfect.
• Samantha (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect, right in the middle of Plaka. We loved being able to walk everywhere!
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Vasileios (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anna-maria (7/5): Good -
• Olena (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect and very central in Plaka. Highly recommended. It is also the house where the Statue of Venus was hidden when it was first found by the family of the owner as he told me himself :) There is a sign in the entrance of the house telling it as well. Overall, would stay again!
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natali (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay — it was very clean and there were many cute cafes/restaurants nearby
• Anonymous (9/5): great price to value ratio and you pretty much get what you have paid for. staff was super nice and accommodating! - great location, had a really cold AC and we had a big apartment. amazing price to value ratio the kitchen wasn’t well equipped and some things (ie: kettle) weren’t working. our apartment definitely shown it’s age and wasn’t the cleanest
• Martin (9/5): Superb - super cool place to stay. we have been there with my girlfriend for 4 nights. Excellent place and location.
• Will (8/5): Very good - Great place to stay on Milos as it is right in the town of Plaka. It was an easy walk for a breathtaking view or to get to the main town of plaka with shops and restaurants. The room was comfortable and divided between kitchen and bedroom. It was also nice to have a laundry machine. The staff is an agency in the port town of Adamas. They were very friendly and even drove us to the apartment. They were great! There was some confusion when we arrived about getting into our apartment and we had to wait 45 minutes outside the door to get in. That was fine for us but a little annoying. Also, there is no grocery store nearby which made for a long walk down and then up a hill. It is difficult to stay there for an extended time without a vehicle
