Guest Reviews

• Thomas (6/5): - Die Anlage hat einen schönen Poolbereich mit direktem Zugang zum Meer, mit eigenen Liegen. Eine sehr schöne Strandbar direkt in der Nähe. Das Zimmer war ok. Frühstück war nicht gut, schlechter Kaffee.
• Monika (4/5): - Die Lage und die Aussicht sind top. Die Angestellten freundlich. Die Einrichtung der Zimmer sehr alt und abgewohnt. Das Bett schmal und die Matratzen sehr hart. In den Kästen keine Fächer. Schimmel im Bad. In einem Zimmer hat es nach Kanal und Schwefel gestunken. Zum Teil ist die WC Spülung nicht gegangen. Vom Nachbarzimmer hört man die Toilette (Stuhlang, Harnstrahl) Das Frühstück eine Frechheit. es fehlt: Joghurt, Gurken, Eiergerichte, Müsli, pflanzliche Milch, Honig, Zitrone f. Tee, die Weckerl alt und hart. Wir haben im Supermarkt unser Frühatück gekauft.Keine Handtücher am Strand und Pool.Zimmer wurde nicht täglich gereinigt.l
• CORINNE (4/5): - Les hôteliers pas du tout aimable et devraient changer de métier. Petit déjeuner nul et même pas un toaster, ni miel, ni yaourt. Installations vétustes
• BERNARD (10/5): Top niveau - Chambres nettoyées chaque jour. Literie changée régulièrement. Très bon matelas. Restauration au bord de la piscine laquelle est chaude et bien entretenue. Cadre très agréable. Personnel accueillant et très agréable.
• Pierre (4/5): Old hotel, bad quality - View from hotel is great. But hotel, staff, rom and food is like it was 1990
• Taki (10/5): - Excellent beach with humongous "L" shaped pool. Great menu services. Met George and Niko the owners, very hospitable and caring people. I give them credit with what they have built and acchomplished.
• Alan (8/5): Nice hotel - Overall this is a clean, and friendly hotel. Staff are efficient in service. Food was good. Surroundings were well kept.
• Juliane (10/5): - Golden Sun Hotel is in a truely gorgeous location. It is a delightfully quiet, restful place to swim (in both ocean and pool), read, enjoy the company of froends and marvel at the beautful view. The staff were pleasant to interact with and very welcoming. The facility is dated but in good condition and very well cared for. We very much enjoyed our brief stay and would enjoy a return visit!
• Juliane (10/5): - Absolutely gorgeous location and beautifully designed and maintained facilities. Golden Sun Hotel is a gem! Perfect place to relax and retreat from the busy-ness of urban living!
• Simon (2/5): - The host nick has given up the place needs a re vamp with new owners poor condition
• Saida (6/5): Séjour mitigé, dommage ! - L'établissement est très bien situé sur un spot alliant un accès plage direct et une très belle piscine. L'hôtel a été rafraîchi à l'état général est très correct. Le problème majeur réside dans l'accueil très désagréable en particulier celui du responsable nous avons eu un problème de climatisation, on nous a mené un bateau pendant 2 jours en nous disant que c'était normal alors que nous constations un dysfonctionnement évident et que nous dormions très mal à cause de la chaleur excessive puisque la clim ne fonctionne pas et givrait. il a fallu insister et faire intervenir hôtel.com que je remercie pour que enfin on nous change de chambre. Je trouve extrêmement dommage d'avoir eu ce type de relation très désagréable et d'avoir dû nous bagarrer alors que nous étions parfaitement dans notre droit. Autre point négatif le petit-déjeuner plutôt mauvais avec uniquement des produits très bas de gamme et mauvais, au final nous ne prenions que du pain grillé avec de la confiture et du beurre. Contrairement à l'argumentaire ce petit-déjeuner n'est pas gratuit il est juste inclus dans le prix de la chambre et franchement pourrait être plus qualitatif. C'est dommage de gâcher un si beau lieu par un accueil aussi mauvais !
• Luca (10/5): Una notte al Golden Sun - Un albergo molto bello, situato in un luogo incantevole. Il personale è gentilissimo, la canera era fresca e spaziosa con una vista mozzafiato verso il mare. Parcheggio privato comodissimo e colazione dolce/salata di buona qualità. Il Wi-Fi non era molto stabile.
• Nektaria (10/5): - Great hotel conveniently located near the lovely town of Finikounda. Modern rooms with nice views of the mountain range meeting the ocean. Breakfast included as is a in house restaurant offering a good choice of tradionnnal Greek dishes at good prices. A must to consider if you are planning to stay in the area
• David (6/5): - Location and pool excellent but hotel needs maintenance and bathroom was minute, leaking shower and fixtures falling off. For a 3 star hotel disappointing.
• Lisa (6/5): - We arrived in a dark reception area, were known was there to greet us. Another guest had to direct us to the man sitting in the dark in the dining room. The beach and the pool area was very nice. We are hoping for more regarding their food service. I was highly distressed by the mattress. We had to double check to make sure it was not a box spring/mattress foundation we were sleeping on. I got 3 hours of sleep. I was really hopeful for thos place based on the photos. It has me very leery of photos and reviews I see online.
• LAETITIA (8/5): - L'hôtel est dans l'ensemble très agréables, il y à la plage et la piscine. On peut se restaurer sur place. Nous avons passé un bon séjour.
• Luca (6/5): - Very nice hotel, great position in front of the sea. Breakfast very poor, to improve. Fornitures really old and not very well maintained.
• Pam (8/5): - This motel was good value for money.Not too far from the main town Finikounda and easy parking!It was very nice outside overlooking the beach and pool!Inside could do with a bit of an update but still ok.The breakfast was good aswell!
• Russell (4/5): - Firstly we chose this hotel because it had a lift and we knew we would be coming with large suitcases. We were very disappointed to find that there was no lift at all even though it was advertised as having one. The owner was very unfriendly and surly. No basic amenities in the room such as tea or coffee. No shower gel in the room as they had run out. Pool was great and friendly poolside staff. We booked 2 rooms both with partial sea views but on arriving we were told that there was no Seaview - they did upgrade one of the 2 rooms. Rooms were very basic. One room had basic TV channels all in Greek while he other room had more channels including English channels, albeit it was a pc monitor sized TV. When we arrived around 9pm the hotel foyer was in darkness- we asked the owner if the power was out and he said no - we found out that they just don’t turn lights on
• Elfriede (8/5): Gutes griechisches 3* Hotel in bester Lage 😎 - Gutes griechisches 3*Hotel in bester. Lage direkt am Sandstrand - Hotelliegen und -schirme gratis. Das zuerst angebotene 3-Bettzimmer war zu klein, Upgrade mit Extrakosten wurde angeboten. 2-Bettzimmmer OK.
• CINDY (10/5): - Hôtel un peu reculé de la ville, qui permet d’y séjourner dans le calme. La piscine et l’accès au bord de plage sont très agréables. Le personnel de l’hôtel sympathique.
• sven (10/5): - Schöne Unterkunft, hervorragend gelegen. Ruhig und in einem kleinen Spaziergang ist man im Dorf.
• Nick (8/5): - Nice place friendly staff
• Ana Sofia (2/5): Unimpressed - The rooms were nothing like the photo on the website. No towels in the room. The shower was murky and no handle for the shower head. Asked if they could bring us some water to the room and we were told that if we wanted something, we should have brought it with us…
• Jessica (10/5): - The area is beautiful. The beach is lovely and clean, water is great to swim and its not crowded. There is a beach bar next door but the hotel pool bar and food are great so you dont need to leave if you dont want to! 10mins walk to the little town which has more restaurants and a supermarket. I enjoyed breakfast you had cereals, fruit, greek yoghurt and honey, bread ham cheese and eggs cooked 3 different ways. Overall lovely and i would come back.
• Andrew (6/5): - Hotel view great if you get a front room, as we did. Hosts very crumpy, like everything is an effort ( needs new management, as owners dont know any social skills). Hotel room very cramp and generally looking tired. Breakfast very basic, and the liquid which looks like orange juice but isn't is best avoided
• Ottmar (8/5): - Wunderbare Lage, sehr schöner hoteleigener Strand, entspannende Poolanlage
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great find - Great location, simple, clean and friendly. Restaurant food was great, breakfast fine and ample. Made to feel very welcome
• dr.frank (10/5): - Die perfrkte Lage
• Margaret (10/5): - It’s absolutely fabulous and will go back as soon as we can. Perfect stunning location. Spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Views are spectacular and definitely worth a sea view room. The Sandy beach 3 mins walk from our top floor room, the pool 2 mins. The village is 5 mins drive away but a slightly tricky walk. Breakfast buffet good variety and pretty outside places to eat. Couldn’t rate more highly.
• Javier (4/5): - Habitación mal situada, mobiliario escaso y anticuado, baño soviético, mal trato y servicio
• Jean-Christophe (10/5): On adore ! Hôtel super ! - Séjour très agréable, hôtel un peu ancien mais s'intègre bien dans l'ambiance de la région. Terrasse typique Grec exceptionnelle ombragée par des vignes. Petit déjeuné simple mais suffisant. Vue exceptionnelle des chambres vues sur mer. Bon accueil, nous avons apprécié que Gorges parle Français. Très belle plage privée accessible en quelques marches. Nous reviendrons c'est sûr !
• George (10/5): Spectacular balcony view - Spectacular views facing the bay. Superb pool, with the sandy seashore a few steps away. The personnel catered to our needs efficiently. Old fashioned but solid bathroom, clean smallish room with comfortable beds. Breakfast was simple and straight forward. Outstanding and pleasant service overall. I would stay again.
• ANNA (6/5): - Το σέρβις δεν ήταν ιδιαίτερα φιλικό. Επίσης, το πρωινό δεν ήταν ιδιαίτερα πλούσιο. Γενικά το κόστος διαμονής δεν ανταποκρίνεται στην ποιότητα των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών. Ένα κατάλυμα σε πολύ όμορφη τοποθεσία, που όμως δεν εκμεταλλεύεται τη δυναμική του.
• Jase (10/5): Amazing Stay - Hotel is in a perfect location, right on the beach. Staff are all super friendly, and the owner was really nice. I can't recommend this place more
• Gert (8/5): - Die Lage super, Pool super, direkt am eigenen Hotelstrand. Wer keinen Trubel mag ist hier richtig. Ohne Fahrzeug nicht so gut, da weit vom Schuss.
• Verified traveler (6/5): !!! - Η καθαριότητα οκ Αρκετά ακριβό για αυτά που παρέχει πρωινό μέτριο
• DANIIL (4/5): θα μπορούσε και καλύτερα. - Κακή υποδοχή από τον ξενοδόχο Δεν υπάρχει καθαριότητα στο χώρο του πρωινού δεν καθαρίζονται τα τραπέζια. Το πρωινό όλο μαζί σε ένα πιάτο. Έλλειψη έμπειρου προσωπικού σε όλους τους χώρους.Η καθαριότητα τυπική και όχι ουσιώδες. Το ξενοδοχείο σε εξαιρετική τοποθεσία φοβερή θέα με άλλους συνεργάτες και διεύθυνση θα δουλέψει καλύτερα. Το ότι συνεχίζει και λειτουργεί είναι τέλειος τυχαίο.
• thomas (4/5): - Δυστυχως οι φωτο που εχει ειναι απο τοτε που ανοιξε..δεν υπαρχει ουσιαστικη εξυπηρετηση απο καθαριοτητα οσα βλεπει η πεθερα και απο προσωπικο 2 ατομα τρεχουν απο το πρωι ως το βραδυ
• Sibylle (10/5): Wunderbare Lage, super schönes Hotel - Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal, sehr saubere und gepflegte Anlage, gute Qualität der Matrazen. Die Fenster mit Insektenschutz und Fensterläden sehr effizient gegen Hitze und Insekten. Herrlicher Meerblick und luftige Lage auch bei grosser Hitze. insgesamt ein äusserst angenehmer Aufenthalt!
• Nathalie (8/5): - Un site splendide, un endroit reposant. Le personnel est attentionné sans être envahissant. La plage privée et la piscine sont idéales pour tout type de voyageurs même avec des enfants en bas âge. Restauration sur place correcte et abordable.
• Matina (8/5): - The place is perfect. The beach is private and under the hotel, the view is amazing. The swimming pool is beautiful and clean. The breakfast is poor. The owner is very kind and helpful. The hotel needs a renovation.
• Mike (8/5): Good hotel in a great location. - Nice location with great beach and good swimming pool. Breakfast was a bit basic. Rooms ok with great views!
• Tina (4/5): - Die Reinigung des Zimmer war gut. Das Frühstück war sehr spartanisch. Die Lage des Hotels sehr gut.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - The person as the reception was the most unfriendly hotel receptionist i have ever met. He claimed to be the owner! Obviously he does not care about his business.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - good spot. nice beach.. all the others are terrible. never again. also the owner said for the reservation of our room.. i do you a favour to give you a room. expedia never said to me that you are going to come... never
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Yes- the setting is gorgeous, but it seems that this place was living off that and didn’t have to put any effort in elsewhere. The place overall was “tired” and needs a bit of money spending on updating it. During our 4 days there, there was not once anyone on reception or anyone making you feel “welcome”. This I thought was really quite odd. The WiFi coverage was shocking and only really worked in the pool area. The breakfast was simply not acceptable. Some would say “basic” but this was below “ basic”. It was like the hotel’s policy was “ ok we know we have to provide breakfast but let’s do it as cheaply as we possibly can”. My kids are a bit fussy, but everywhere else can always find something,.., but not here. A good example is the Orange Juice - it was orange squash - unforgivable and unacceptable. But... the setting was stunning, and the pool was nice
• Deborah (10/5): Fantastic sea view - Amazing views and beautiful private beach. Hotel was clean and good value. Very enjoyable and relaxing stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely place , clean, great facilities and very friendly helpful staff.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The food is excellent, the staff is very kind and helpful, the view is perfect. Very clean. Clean and beautiful pool. The hotel is next to the sea. The hotel furniture is not so new in some of the rooms. There is no elevator.
• ernest (10/5): Off season is still a great time to visit - It was still off season and we had the place to ourselves inluding Ligonamos Beach right in front of the hotel. Magical. The owners were very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was great. They provided us with lots of information about the area. Pool was still closed but that will be for next time. Thanks, Nick and George.
• Irini (8/5): Very nice hotel - Very nice hotel in front of the beach, very clean, recently renovated, friendly staff, amazing pool, big room, comfortable bed
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very nice hotel siting on a very beautiful beach . Very nice pule too.
• ilias (8/5): We've been fine! - Very nice panoramic view and strategic location for nearby excursions to Methoni, Coroni, Pilos and Voidokilia within 30 min drive! The manager is a nice person and ready to help. Fairly clean and comfortable room. The building is pretty old but if you don't plan to pass your vacation in a room, you will be fine.
• K (10/5): Breathtaking view, a little piece of paradise - If you are looking for an amazing place to stay with a breathtaking view, this is it. The staff is friendly and kind and make you feel like family. The pool and beach make for an amazing retreat for relaxation. Great food on site or short walk into the main town where you will find many little souvenir shops, restaurants and ice cream shops.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great Sea Views - Booked and stayed for 1 night in a room with sea view and yes the view was amazing. Bed was comfortable. Door had an insect screen so sleeping with the door open and hearing the waves at night was a plus. Shower was a little narrow with water splashing o the floor but not really an issue. Internet was sporadic but very fast when connected. Breakfast was adequate and fulfilling. Hotel had a decent sized pool but we did not try it as we preferred to swim in the sea. It's better at the far right hand side of the beach fronting the hotel. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will definitely will come back next year,
• Verified traveler (2/5): NEVER Again!!!! - Not enough characters to describe JUST how awful this place is!!! Safety issues top our list: sockets hanging from wall. A sharp nail protruding from ground - right were you enter the pool. Staff shouting at the top of their voice echoing around the poolside. Rusty coat hangers Atrocious breakfast Tired decor What a shame - We are sure this WAS a lovely hotel in it's hay-day.
