The Hotel Boulis is excellently located right on Kamares beach and features a beautiful view of the sea and the mountains, combined with easy access to shops, restaurants and taverns.

Reviews for Hotel Boulis
Review 1：The staff were unfailingly helpful ... with advice and calling taxis and so forth. We particularly enjoyed dinner in the Hotel restaurant. The food was delicious and the chef went to a lot of trouble talking to us about the speciality "catch of the day" so the experience was very memorable. Watching the sunset over the harbour and beach from the courtyard was another highlight.
Review 2：Proximity to Port, Ferry, beach and bus service. The Hotel was perfectly positioned for a short walk directly to the beach and at the end of a day out it was nice to have a dip in the crystal clear waters. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Enjoy the sunsets either from the beach or the ferry wharf. Make use of the local bus service to explore all parts of the Island cheaply and casually.
Review 3：hotel needs a lift in general but it's great location and the staff was great also very good restaurant in the courtyard
Review 4：The location and the staff
Review 5：Despite the really high quality of the food served in the restaurant, breakfast is a bit short, without any fresh fruit or any possibility to toaast bread.
Review 6：Excellent staff, ready to help you when you have a problem. Our ship was delayed for three hours and the let us stay in the room longer as the people coming to our room had also been delayed somewhere else. Excellent restaurant!!
Review 7：If you dream of checking into your hotel and strolling out to a beautiful beach within minutes of disembarking the ferry, look no further. The Boulis is at the quieter end of the beach away from the dock, but still an easy walk along the main street. The rooms are basic but have plenty of storage space, the bathrooms are clean and modern. The lobby and courtyard facing the beach are pleasant places to relax when not on the clean sandy beach just steps away. The restaurant offered delicious dinners, especially the creative vegetable dishes using produce from their own garden. Everyone here was welcoming and seemed happy to be sharing their bit of paradise.
Review 8：Wifi was a little slow when I checked in but not bad. Seemed like not many guests were at the hotel and those that were were older and not on their phones all the time. Once a group of 20 somethings checked in the wifi was almost unusable.
Review 9：Most everything
Review 10：Bathroom was small but sufficient.
Review 11：Centrally located, with the yard opening on to the beach. Very easy going and friendly staff, gave us a welcoming feeling. We had a good room facing the sea with a balcony. We enjoyed the colorful courtyard with its very special restaurant.
Review 12：Breakfast could definitely improve
Review 13：Very good location, close to harbour but away from noisy spots, direct access to the beach, very helpful and kind owner, cleanliness
Review 14：Nothing
Review 15：The hotel is close to the beach and within an easy walk of the ferry and bus services. It has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and it has its own taverna which serves good food.
Review 16：- The deco could do with some modernisation, but this is a minor point and in no way affected our stay. - Found the WIFI connection bad in the afternoons for some reason. seemed to recover well the next morning.
Review 17：- Room was cleaned daily - Lots of room to move around in our main bedroom - ample room in the bathroom and everything worked. - The breakfast was well worth the 5 Euro per person - The Kafenes Taverna food was excellent - the hotel location could not have been any better, backing onto Kamares Beach - All of the staff were very inviting and helpful
Review 18：hated the air conditioning set-up...couldn't run air conditioning with balcony doors open or when not in the room...this makes sense for energy savings except that upon returning from the beach the room was sweltering and you had to choose between sitting in the room with the air on and not being able to enjoy the balcony or opening the balcony doors to enjoy the courtyard and being uncomfortably warm...maybe a timer that could be preset would work better? also agree that wifi was a pain, but that may be everywhere on the island. Also, there was only bar soap for toiletries and beds were uncomfortable
Review 19：close to a great sandy beach and in walking distance of the port, loved the beautiful courtyard area, and the private balconies overlooking the courtyard, Lynne was very nice
Review 20：wifi was very hit and miss
Review 21：The location is excellent,the host Lynne is brilliant and the rooms are spotless, good breakfast served in the lovely garden.
Review 22：Bathroom a bit dated but it was clean so not really a problem.
Review 23：Such a perfect location - you can see the hotel when you come in on the ferry - just past all the little restaurants and along the beach in this very very pretty little town. Staff are incredibly helpful and friendly - happy to advice us of the best places to visit. Would love to come back again!
Review 24：We enjoyed a wonderful stay! Lyn was extremely helpful and informative about Sifnos, and all things Greek. A highlight - the brightly coloured, well appointed outdoor eating area, complete with a view to the beach. Home grown produce is used in tasty, elegant yet traditional meals. Don't go past this hotel!
Review 25：very nice, friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast buffet included (quite good), good location, nice terrace where you can have breakfast or dinner. The hotel is directly situated at the beach of kamares.

Review 42：The owner was incredibly gracious and accommodating when dealing with circumstances beyond her control.
Review 43：Nice little hotel, right on the beach. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is typical of Sifnos....very relaxed. Will go back.
Review 44：The breakfast was disappointing. I think that the inclusion of fresh fruit and flavoured yoghurts would improve it.
Review 45：The hotel has a good position as it is near the port but far enough away that it is quiet. Also very handy for the beach.
Review 46：Rooms including bathroom (shower) is not up to 2014 basic comfort level functionality.
Review 47：Very good "no-nonsense" hotel, with friendly proactive owner(s). Location close to beach and cozy center of village Kamaris.
Review 48：Fabulous, family run small hotel. Perfect location with gate onto beach and bay. Very pretty relaxing courtyard with colourful flowers and plants. Although 3 mins walk from other bars, restaurants and bus stop, all you can hear are bird song and the sea. Unfortunately the Boulis restaurant did not open until 1st June, so cannot comment. Perfect holiday.
Review 49：Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent cooking, beautiful location on beach and views from balcony, very short walk to village, bus stop and ferry - and ideal place for a relaxing holiday.
Review 50：who can ask for anything more?
Review 51：amazing place! we traveled the island up-side-down and it's the best place in Sifnos by far! Beautiful Lin and Margarita where amazingly helpful with great tips, lots of information and actually anything we needed. the location. ohhh, the location...just 30 seconds away from the amazingly clear water of Kamaras ... the rooms are great, big and good air-conditioned, we stayed there for 4 nights and we couldn't leave....their in-house restaurant is a must for dinner, brilliant lam dish and fresh fish and seafood...not very cheap but worth every cent. in short: exactly the kind of place you would recommend to your best friend for a perfect vacation! enjoy...
Review 52：I know that Greece is economically tough - but the garden is crying out for a little pool to sit around!!
Review 53：Lovely family hotel, right on the beach, minutes walk from Kamares town centre (no tough hills to climb), quiet, friendly - would definitely visit again.
Review 54：Excellent location and great facilities. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the scenery is beautiful. Enjoyable experience for both families and young travelers.
Review 55：No complaints at all
Review 56：The hotel is in a fantastic position, right on the beach and yet within walking distance of the port and ferries. The owners are lovely people and very helpful. The evening meals didn't start until our last day but that night we had the best meal we'd had in the whole of our 16 day holiday! Not a new hotel and some of the furnishings are a little old, but nevertheless it was very comfortable and a pleasure to stay there.
Review 57：Shower stall was too small to turn around in and lift your feet up to wash!
Review 58：Owners were very friendly and accomodating. Location was excellent on the beach, view from our room was great. Room was a good size with lots of cupboards to put away your things. Kamares is a great little town and Sifnos is very beautiful with wonderful hiking well marked paths.
Review 59：Awesome hotel. Location across the road from the beach is perfect and an ideal base to explore the island. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Most importantly some amazing meals at the hotel restaurant - home style cooking and some of the best meals we had in Greece
Review 60：Great position,right on the beach and close to the shops,restaurants and Port.The dinner we had in the Hotel was delicious and the staff were very friendly.
Review 61：Mosquitos are really a problem (in some periods of the year). The hotelprovides electrical evaporators, but they are insufficient. An mosquitonet over the beds is really required. Mosquitos are also elswhere, butthe nice green location makes this hotel more vulnerable... Bring deet,keep everything closed and you are ok if you catch anything the personbefore you brought inside.
Review 62：Nice hotel, quiet location, but not only a few rooms have a nice view(ask for seaview or a room on the north side.
Review 63：The staff of the hotel went out of his way to help us. The location ofthe hotel is perfect - it's a few meters from the beach, and it'sactually set in the middle of Kamares. The room was very nice, cleanand spacious.
Review 64：It was too big. Too noisy. Too impersonnel. Nothing special compares to other cheaper pensions on Sifnos and a lot nicer and warmer! It's the highest price I had during my holidays and the coldest (impersonnel).
Review 65：His location is good and we can find it easily from the boat we can see the sign because it's very big.
Review 66：What a nice place to stay!!! We stayed in Hotel Boulis for 4 nights and where really sad to leave. Just a few footsteps from the nice Kamares beach. Sitting on the terrace under the wine leaves looking at the sea looking forward to another delicious meal, home cooked, with local products and very nice flavours. Really this was the best choice we could have made!
Review 67：This is the kind of smart, relaxed hospitality you feel proud of yourself for having found. Lyn, an Australian transplant, and her Greek husband Antonis, run a fine, family hotel right on the beach, yet just far enough from the main drag of shops and restaurants which are only a five minute walk away, to get a quiet night's sleep. And if you don't feel like moving, you can just hang in the gorgeous, arboured garden restaurant and bar — Antonis is also a great cook.
Review 68：very helpful and friendly owner.. great breakfast and restaurant for young children on site and lovely atmosphere.. great proximity to beach.
Review 69：No complaints.
Review 70：Very friendly and helpful staff, direct access to the beach great value for money.

Review 72：Near town.on the beach. very Helpful staff.
Review 73：smoking at tables in out-door eating area
Review 74：friendly staff, well-serviced rooms, access to beach, value for money
Review 75：The location and the friendly family atmosphere - the free shuttle to and from the port is very helpful - staying in Kamares is a must
Review 76：It's a perfect place to stay in - the staff, the closeness to the beach, the decor, the layout etc. etc.
Review 77：The location of the hotel, the welcome, our room with its balcony on the sea, the quietness, the cleanliness of the room
