Guest Reviews
- Luděk (7/5): Good fór one or two nights - The owner was kind, the room was clean and really well equiped with all accesories for cooking. The terace was fine.and the bed comfortable and large. Near thé main street in the evening a little bit noisy, but at night ( after 10 p.m) better.
- Serge (8/5): Bon rapport qualité-prix - Logement simple, avec ce qu'il fallait. Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Vue sur la route mais pas bruyant la nuit
- van Nassau (7/5): - Netheid en hygiëne. Het bed was prima. Goede afsluiting naar het balkon, bestaande uit drie schuifdeuren. Van buiten naar binnen gerekend een verduisterende deur die ook tegelijk een zonnescherm is. Dan een hordeur, ook schuifdeur natuurlijk en tenslotte een van dubbelglas voorziene schuifdeur. De kookgelegenheid liet wat te wensen over. Een zeer matig kooktoestel met elektrische kookplaten uit de jaren 70 van de vorige eeuw. Alleen een grote kookpan, een steelpannetje erbij zou goed op z'n plaats zijn.
- Petras (10/5): -
- Voelkl (9/5): Die Durchreise perfekt - Perfekt für eine Nacht
- Michelet (10/5): - Accueil formidable du propriétaire. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut dans la chambre et dans la kitchenette. C'est très propre, rien à redire. Nous avons même eu le droit à des petites pâtisseries maison dans l'après-midi. Un accueil exceptionnel !
- stephane (7/5): - Stationnement aisé. N’étant resté qu’une nuit difficile d’en dire plus!
- Miguel (7/5): Great relationship price-quality - Clean room and friendly owner. The road is too close. I missed a table inside for having breakfast when bad weather.
- Enric (10/5): - All great!
- Karolina (10/5): Bardzo miły gospodarz, pokoje czyste i bardzo wygodne materace - Bardzo miły gospodarz, parking, czysto
- HAGIT (10/5): -
- Marian (9/5): -
- michele (10/5): Cozy, convenient and professional staff - Very cozy and confortable
- Ioannis (7/5): Zweckmäßig - Das personal Zu nah an der Straße
- dimitris (10/5): -
- Emmanouela (7/5): - Δεν δούλευε το κοντρόλ της τηλεορασης και δεν ηταν αρκετά καθαρό
- juan antonio (10/5): Excelente - Excelente relación calidad precio. Cama cómoda y limpio. Ubicación tranquila. A destacar la amabilidad de los dueños: tuvimos un problema con el mando del aire acondicionado y nos lo solucionaron en seguida. Además, la dueña nos trajo un trozo de bizcocho que estuvo buenísimo. Muy recomendable
- Sabrina (9/5): Großartiges Preis-Leistung Verhältnis! - Antonius war super freundlich und hilfsbereit! Sauber und Ausstattung wie angegeben! Großartiges Preis-Leistung Verhältnis! Kann ich absolut weiter empfehlen. Etwas außerhalb von der Innenstadt, aber ist eigentlich auch kein Problem in 20 Min. nach Plakias
hin zu laufen.

- Anne (2/5): Very dirty, disappointing - The apartment was spacious and you could tell that someone had thought about what guests might need (extra upholstery for the chairs on the little balcony, umbrella for the beach). There was also easy parking in the yard behind. Unfortunately, the apartment was unacceptably dirty, in particular the bathroom which seemed to not have been cleaned at all - there were literally stains of feces in the toilet, hair everywhere on the floor, and dried phlegm in the bathroom sink. I didn't use the kitchen, but I noticed a layer of grime on the hotplates. There was also dirt around the bedside table (grime and hairs).
By the time I noticed the level of dirtiness, it was too late at night to complain (I checked in late and went out to eat before taking a closer look). I slept very badly because I was so disgusted by all the dirt. Fortunately, the bed sheets seemed clean. The towels, however, were so old they almost fell apart.
When I complained (politely) upon checkout the next day, the person who handled checkout pretended to not speak English anymore (his English was fine when I checked in the evening before). No compensation, no excuse, nothing.
I was very disappointed by this experience and will certainly not return.
- Colin (9/5): - Well positioned accommodation on the road between Plakias and Damnioni. Enabled access to both resorts through trails or by road. Better suited to those with a car but it suited my walking patterns Antonio the owner was friendly and attentive and runs a well oiled ship.
- Romaine (8/5): -
- Christine (8/5): 2 nuits à Plakias - La gentillesse des gérants
La place de parking
La propreté
Le nescafé offert +une bouteille d'eau
La proximité avec le centre (mais j'avais une voiture)
Le WiFi
C'est tranquille La 1ere nuit j'étais à l'étage donc c'était tranquille
La 2eme nuit au rez-de-chaussée donc trop près de la route, je n'ai pas pu prendre mon petit déjeuner sur le balcon mais j'ai été à l'arrière sur le parking à l'ombre
- Georgios (9/5): - Der hilfsbereite, nette Gastgeber
- Elvire (10/5): - Calme et fonctionnel,
Possible de cuisiner et literie très confortable Rien :)
- Damijan (8/5): -
- Maria (7/5): -
- Marjorie HOHWALD (7/5): Jolie pause du côté de Plakias - Joli petit appartement un peu en retrait de la mer.
Accueil sympathique par le petit couple même à la nuit tombante.
Présence d'un réfrigérateur ce qui est toujours très bien en ces fortes chaleurs
Parking dispo à l'arrière du bâtiment Nous avions demandé un lit double cela n'a pas été possible
La douche qui inonde toute la salle de bain et un pauvre rideau qui colle à la peau pour servir de protection
Les chats qui squattent les fauteuils sur le balcon

- Manuel (10/5): -
- Simone (8/5): - Appartamento dotato di tutto ciò che serve , tranquillo, personale molto cordiale e disponibile

- ELEFTHERIA (7/5): - It is value for money if you pay less than 45€/night
- Jan (7/5): - Lokacija in soba, čistoča je uredu,
- John (8/5): Could be more conveniently situated for a non-driver - Comfortable It is about 25 minutes walk uphill from Plakias. The road is unlit at night.

- Karolis (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was amazing!
- Karolis (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, super!

- Julia (10/5): Exceptional - Clean rooms, comfortable bed (pillows, mattress, bedsheets), friendly owner. We enjoyed the balcony and a lot of owner's cats (they are clean and without bugs). Small kitchen what enables you to cook your food (but cookware is veery basic).
- Nikoletta (10/5): Exceptional - very clean room, quiet place...
- Filipe (9/5): Superb -
- Selina (10/5): Exceptional - The location is a good point to diffrent activities. So its nice located. To the beach in plakias Its also not so far. By car maybe 3-5min driving.
Private parking directly infront of the house.
Nice balcony. My highlight has been the mum and baby cats who visited us daily at the balcony. Very relaxed place in a quiet area. No other houses next to. Opposite the house is a gas station where you can also get small things to buy If you don't take away quick enough your food left overs, then you got aunts as visitors ;)
- Krzysztof (10/5): Good price for that kind of ap - Simple and confy apartment
- Olga (10/5): Exceptional - I highly recommend this place! Very clean, kitchen equipped with necessary appliances. Balcony for privacy. Very comfortable bed. There's a Spar store nearby, but I recommend going to Synek because it's cheaper. About 1.5 km on the left side, a very cheap bar with delicious food. 10/15 min walk to the beach. And for cat fans: there are several of them in the garden, so it's worth equipping yourself with some treats ;) I recommend it!
- Andrey (10/5): Exceptional -

- Smallcreep (8/5): I'd happily return - Facilities in particular were very good - small but important things were not overlooked. Staff were lovely. Quite a way out of town so you need a car. A screen of trees provided protection from the road, but were so close to my balcony I had no view. Still, it felt nicely private.
- Clément (8/5): Nice and cozy place close to Plakias and Preveli beach - The host was very kind and friendly. The place is very clean and full equipped. The AC works very good. And the balcony is perfect for breakfast and relaxation. It has a very good value for money. The bed was average, it could improve with a mattress of better quality. And few times we were distributed by the traffic noice.
- Maria (8/5): Nice stay at Plakias - Great value for money. Good sized flat with comfy bed. Close to some awesome beaches in Plakias. Damnoni beach is at walking distance. Had a dedicated parking space which was comfortable. The bathroom was a bit smelly because of the sewage.
- Borisc_ (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very friendly. The locations is great, a 10 minute walk from the beach and the city. Apartment was new and clean, the kitchen had everything. The fabric that was over the mattress was sweaty and dirty when we came, but it was changed immediately

- Peter (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed my stay! - Very pleasant and enjoyed staying there! Everything was great!
- Adam (10/5): quaint stay with great host - only 10-15 min walk from the beach, close to the mega supermarket.

Such a lovely place and town. The shower was a bit small but it was okay
