Reviews for Kokalakis Hotel
Review 1:One of the best hotels I've stayed in mostly because of the staff! The staff are so helpful and friendly. They really help to create a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere in the hotel. Also the location is suberb for the beach, bus stop and harbour with many family owned restaurants nearby. The breakfast is great with the amazing yogurt being my favourite! The hotel is kept very clean. Highly Recommended! Thanks for a great holiday Vasili, Nitsa and all!
Review 2:Noise from street at night No pool usage allowed No new soap and shampoo every day after room cleaning Noisy bed for activities No extra pillow available
Review 3:Excellent breakfast Dirty beach across the street Two supermarkets nearby
Review 4:Nothing.
Review 5:Hotel 's owner was very friendly and helpfully. Breakfast was good . Feta chease and good olives also ham and cheese . Hotel has a very pretty pool . Beds and hotels room were also good. I enjoy very much.
Review 6:The location is close to a road and you hear buses early in the morning, also the bed was not so comfortable
Review 7:We stayed late in the season, and the price was good. The breakfast was nice
Review 8:Breakfast could be better, especially coffe and juice.
Review 9:Very friendly owners. They gave us free breakfast after our early arriver. They also wanted to accomodate us early morning but we prefer yo wait for our room. Nice swimming pool
Review 10:Excellent. Nice hotel with swimming pool. Clean rooms with seaview. The hotel is located next to the bus stop, so it's easy to reach it from the airport. It's just a few meters from the beach. You can find a lot of restaurants, markets and car rentals nearby. Polite and helpful staff.
Review 11:Great location, really good value for money and very welcoming and friendly staff. We were delighted that we were able to keep our room until our evening flight at no extra cost! We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough!
Review 12:forget about that shower curtains please! - who cares! but if you are really interested - yes we had shower curtains! Don't expect 5 stars this is a nice small hotel managed by nice people - so dont expect suits and ties in the reception!
Review 13:If you are looking for a rather silent location in Kos, Kefalos is perfect.. Several nice beaches, restaurants, shops closeby. But these, you can find in other hotels too, what makes Kokalakis special is the people, especially the owner lady. She's there to help you anytime and doing it with pleasure. we got very nice tips on "what to do" and had our best day in Kos (yes even better that Kos Town or Tigaki), I won't write it here..ask her, she's happy to tell. by the way..great breakfast!! I couldn't stop eating those egg-breads..just like my mother's..and fresh figs..sooo nice.. thank you, I hope we will be back!
Review 14:Friendly staff, good rooms, perfect view, location,a bus station near hotel, near the sea, mountains, ect. If we will come back to Kos, we will choose the Kokalakis hotel again!
Review 15:Pool bar could have offered more snacks and pool service for drinks would be nice.
Review 16:Great access for older people to get around. Swimming pool lovely. In a beautiful setting
Review 17:The staff was so nice. Quite calm place with the facilities you can expect from a 2 star hotel but also including a pool. Near the beach and many restaurants.
Review 18:Wi-fi coverage was not great in our room, but holidays is not for browsing fb is it? ;)
Review 19:Perfect location, great standard for money, friendly staff, quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We chose Kokalakis based on Booking.com's rating and it was a good choice. We had very good stay over there.
Review 20:Nothing
Review 21:Fabulous family made everyone welcome a proper home from home atmosphere cheap drinks behind bar all served with Greek cheer looking forward to returning next year
Review 22:Nothing was dislikable.
Review 23:Excellent service from a very friendly family team. Rooms were clean & nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for a value for money, quiet holiday then this is the place to go. Wonderful time & will definitely be returning.
Review 24:The fact there was a pool snack bar but it was never open.
Review 25:The position of the hotel is fantastic situate right on the front of Kamari Bay with numerous tavernas bars and restaurants.
Review 26:It was a very welcoming place, the staff were friendly and accomodating, the hotel clean and fresh. Genuine Greek owners who were willing to chat and help, a breath of fresh air compared with hotel chains. Can not recommend enough.
Review 27:nothing to say
Review 28:so helpful staff, very friendly, had no problem to leave bags after check out, then we back after midnight, they are also offered us shower for free and called taxi to get to airport, breakfast very nice and as much as you want, fesh local products such as feta cheese olives, fresh figs, close to shops, beach and restaurants, not crowded place if you decide to go swim in their swimming pool, lovely place i can recommend to everyone families ,couples tec
Review 29:nothing really to say
Review 30:Bus times and it was really expensive to get a taxi back from town was around €50
Review 31:The beach was very close we had sea view from balcony. Lovely restaurant on beach close by. Hotel staff was lovely
Review 32:Loved the relaxed friendly feel Felt more like we were staying with friends! Excellent pool area, plenty of beds Nice quiet hotel Family friendly/couple friendly/single friendly
Review 33:There was nothing I didn't like about Hotel Kokalakis.
Review 34:The overal ethos, the welcome, the environment, the breakfast, the accommodation, the view, the evening conversations with the Greek family - all in all, it's a gem of a hotel.
Review 35:Beds fairly hard (which was fine for us) but one was very squeaky. Not much passage space at the end of the bed, but this was probably only our room. Sometimes some night traffic noise and the early morning sunlight streamed into the room.
Review 36:Excellent position near beach, shops, bars, restaurants and bus stop. Kefalos is a quiet location, no hectic nightlife. Pool area lovely (the light meals were also very good) and whole hotel beautifully clean, staff very helpful and friendly. We were lucky and had a bath, so having no shower curtain was no problem. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Review 37:Rooms are slightly on the small side Described as S/C but only fridge in the room - no other S/C facilities
Review 38:Location Cleanliness Helpfull & friendly owners Good sized pool Plenty of sun beds Easy feel of everything - very relaxing
Review 39:Hotel was run by family, hotel owner Nitsa was so friendly and nice, we feel like home, room was nice and well decorated, she recommend us really nice restaurant close to the hotel. Breakfast was great, home made watermelon jam was delicious. Really close to the beach. We will stay there definetly again next year. Although we checked out she offered us to open another room just to take shower in the afternoon before our boat departs. A+++ service.
Review 40:You need to pay in cash, but it's not a big problem
Review 41:The staff is super kind, aleays providing information and help, it's simply a pity we couldn't stay more! The price is very good for the location and the room size was good, air conditioning and balcony were a plus!!! We'll definately come back
Review 42:Poor breakfast, after midnight no person at reception desk and room key was left on the desk
Review 43:nice family manages the hotel, clean, sea view from balcony of room, free car park, silent.
Review 44:It was a family run hotel with a beautiful pool and the beach within 2 minutes walking distance.... There were many restaurants around and there was no need to venture out. It was very relaxing and we truly enjoyed our stay!
Review 45:The hotel was very central for everything and close to beach and restaurants but is typically Greek! It needs a little updating, especially the room we were in but it didn't affect the enjoyment we had in the resort, perhaps next time we would ask for the upstairs rooms overlooking the pool as these seemed to be the better rooms. Breakfast was very nice, especially the eggy bread, but would have liked some more fresh fruit! Again this wouldn't affect our decision to book this hotel again.
Review 46:We stayed at the hotel for just four nights as we were there to celebrate our son's wedding. The room we had was a quadruple room on the ground floor at the side of the hotel. There was only air conditioning in the double bedroom where my husband and I were and my mother-on-law was in the bunkbeds in the kitchen with no air conditioning so we had to leave our bedroom door open! We had a long delay in our flight coming back last Monday and we vacated our room by 12 noon but we weren't flying until 5.30am the following morning! Nitsa very kindly offered us a ground floor twin room with toilet and shower facilities to use, this room hadn't been cleaned but we didn't think we would be staying in the room, when we learned that our flight was delayed so long we asked if we could stay in the room for a few hours sleep before leaving at 2am. Again they very kindly said we could so we asked for some clean sheets and towels for the bed, they wouldn't take any money for the room, we did leave 30 euros on the bar when we left. If we hadn't had a room to leave our suitcases in and facilities to shower before we left for the airport it wouldn't have been very nice, especially as the mother-in-law is 83! Thank you Nitsa and family! We hope to return for longer next time with the family again.
Review 47:The rooms are small.
Review 48:Everything about this hotel, which was by far the best "budget" Greek accommodation in which I have stayed. The warmth and helpfulness of Nitsa, Vasilis and Katerina; the sea view from my room; the good sized swimming pool with an abundant supply of sun beds; the wifi; the air conditioning included in the room price; the generally peaceful ambiance of the hotel; the welcome given to children.
Review 49:The showers were small, but that is to be expected of the price. Otherwise, the room was great.
Review 50:Excellent value for price. The nicest and most helpful hotel staff I have ever encountered. Situated extremely close to a wonderful, unpopulated beach, which is exactly what we want. However, if you want to be closer to more tourist attractions (e.g. shopping, Kos Town) then it is probably not the place for you, although quad/moped/car rentals are cheap, and the buses are easy to figure out.
Review 51:Just one thing - there was no shower curtain, so it was impossible to avoid flooding the bathroom every time.
Review 52:Everything was great. Staff - always smiling and helpful. Breakfast - tasty and generous. Location - very easy to find, with beach just opposite. Private parking. Amazing view from the balcony. Clean rooms. And finally - ridiculously low price :)
Review 53:Hot water temperature was rather unstable
Review 54:Very conveniently located family run hotel at beautiful Kefalos resort. Parking and bus stop are near the hotel but it is not too noisy. Breakfast, pool, and wifi are ok. Facilities are not new but rooms are very well maintained. Real sea view from the balcony. Hosts are always ready to help. Our week stay was very relaxing.

Review 79:just about everything really, i would have to be extremely picky to find any faults, but im not !.
Review 80:Free Wi Fi (strong signal) Friendly Family No Hidden extras Decent Breakfast Great Staff Nice Pool
Review 81:Really good atmosphere for all people who need peace days.
Review 82:very nice, hospitable, helpful owners and staff, hotel close to sea, room very clean, tidy garden and environment
Review 83:The owner is awesome (Nista) The location is wonderful The view is amazing The sea is clean and nice The pool is wonderful
Review 84:Location, few meters from.beach Peace and quiteness Nice restaurants in neighbourhood Nice owners
Review 85:I am struggling to find anything...The only complaint I had was the bed...It was very, very firm and my dodgy back didn't appreciate it!
Review 86:The location is perfect - about 25m from the beach and from a handful of great restaurants offering great fresh seafood and friendly service! The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay and the rooms were very clean and tidy. I'm pretty sure all rooms are facing the beach (on that side of the hotel) so there is a good chance that you will have the same/similar beautiful sea view that we had during our stay. Breakfast is free and there was a great selection of continental style food/drink. Eggs cooked to your liking are also available. The pool area was beautiful and drinks at the pool bar were very reasonably priced. There was plenty of free on-site parking which was ideal as we rented a car for the duration of our trip. On exiting the hotel we were presented with a small gift and as a thanks for choosing their hotel - this kind gesture paints a picture of the type of place this is.
Review 87:Air-conditioner is a bit noisy, which is not that good if you have light sleep. And don't forget about mosquitos (but it's not about the hotel but about the place itself). Hosts surely give you the anti-mosquito plug-in.
Review 88:Great location, very friendly hosts, the whole atmosphere is very informal, homely and nice. Air-condition is included into the cost. The triple room is not that spacey, but ok
Review 89:Really great value for money. We were greeted with a welcome drink and the hosts couldn't do enough for us. The children enjoyed splashing in the pool and the beaches in kefalos are stunning. Really recommend a visit to paradise beach. Hire a pedalo with a slide and slide into the Aegean. We had so much fun also the family run hotels knock the socks off the all inclusives which lack the personal touch and genuine authenticity of care provided. It really is the perfect place for families who want to visit the island and not be tied to the hotels. Oh and the gin and tonics at kokalakis are particularly good.
Review 90:Just the breakfast could be more diverse
Review 91:Excellent location (close to the beach and bus stop), friendly and helpful staff, ideal place for quiet and relaxing holidays
Review 92:Nothing!
Review 93:Lovely clean hotel. Nitsa and her family and staff were very friendly and could not do enough to ensure you had a great holiday. Brilliant location. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Review 94:I don`t have a single negative comment about the Kokalakis.
Review 95:The hospitality of the owners and the staff, they made you feel like friends and couldn`t do enough for you.
Review 96:Greek shower rooms are always tricky without shower curtain, using hand held shower head, but a small price to pay for an otherwise lovely holiday!
Review 97:Welcoming friendly family run hotel, laid back and undemanding holiday in a truly Greek atmosphere, lovely helpful staff/family Good position in the centre of quiet Kefalos. Close to beach and excellent restaurants
Review 98:Because it was the beginning of the season the hot water wasn't as readily available as I'm sure it would normally be. The bathroom is very small and difficult to use the mirror over the basin!
Review 99:The hotel is very welcoming and friendly. We stayed at the beginning of the season and there were few others staying so we had the pool to ourselves which was lovely. The room was lovely with a balcony allowing us to watch the world go bye.
Review 100:Our double bed made a lot of noise The hotel is not directly on the beach. You have to cross a road and from your room you look across a parking lot to the sea.
Review 101:The staff was extremely friendly The seaview towards the sea The very good breakfast Excellent restaurant nearby on the beach (Captain John)
Review 102:Best family hotel in Kefalos without question. Virtually on the beach with superb pool. Tremendous value and run by the Kokalakis family who are wonderful hosts. Will be back
Review 103:location was amazing with a lovely double bed with sea view.breakfast was very fresh and appetising.great stay the staff were friendly and welcoming
Review 104:Room fairly small with no tea/coffee making facilities, which would have been appreciated. Cleanliness etc more than made up for this though.
Review 105:Very friendly & helpful staff, very clean, the owners obviously take a great deal of pride in their hotel and it shows. Breakfast was lovely, continental & plentiful. Loved the view from the room too, in a perfect spot to enjoy both sides of Kamari Bay.
Review 106:Should have booked to stay longer
Review 107:The owners of the hotel made you most welcome. Location brilliant, 1 minute to the beach. Hotel pool clean and no reservations early for loungers. Breakfast very nice, croissants, jam, cereal, ham, cheese, tomato, tea, coffee, juice. Bedroom cleaned every day. Great value for money. Would stay again.
Review 108:Remember to bring your own beach and pool towels (if you don't you may still buy some in one of the local shops).
Review 109:A remarkably friendly and hospitable place for a not too expensive stay at one of the nicest beaches in Greece. Owners and staff go out of their way to accomodate your requests (as long as you behave).
Review 110:Nitsa and her family are lovely, friendly, welcoming people.
Review 111:Nice pool, very friendly people, got free ouzo as welcome drink, good location near excellent beachside restaurant "stamitsa
Review 112:Close to road so a bit noisy
Review 113:Position with respect to the beach and village.
Review 114:Very warm atmosphere of the owners, breakfast, pool...
Review 115:very clean + in front of the sea + nice swimming pool + owners always available + plenty of books and magazines = we recommend it !!!
