We had an amazing stay - it was a total jackpot! The staff was very welcoming, friendly and accomodating. We got a very nice room, it was the first night abroad of our 1 month long holiday, and it was just a perfect start. Thank you very much. P.S: the breakfast was THE BEST!

The place is beautiful and the staff is amazing. One of the best hotels we've been to! The room and the views are stunning, the food is great. Romantic and quiet, wish we could stay longer. We took a cooking class with chef Emmanuel, and tea tasting with the Bar manager. we also tried few spa treatments. Everyone was super nice, noting Nikos who welcomed us, the other ladies at the reception, Alex and other waiters, and the two really nice therapists.

A very clean room with lovely contemporary decor and fittings. Also immaculate outside. The location is a short walk from the main village and beach, only a fairly flat 5 minute walk along a good footpath beside the road. Konstantinos, a good supermarket and gift shop is only 2 minutes away; there are other mini markets along the road into town. Wifi is excellent. There is a bar onsite if you want a beer after a long day in the sun! The price is excellent value for money.

From the moment you arrive at the Hotel (approx 30 minutes drive from Kos Airport) you feel 'super-happy' !!! You receive a very warm greeting, refreshments, towel and information about the Hotel. Check in is seamless and it is as if the staff have been waiting for your arrival all day. The Hotel is STUNNING - low rise and very beautiful indeed! The meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are exceptional - everything made/baked on premises and the breakfast buffet is exceptional - everything you could wish for. Lunch is a-la-carte and dinner is either buffet (food theme changes each evening - Greek, Italian, BBQ, Asian etc) or a-la-carte. The Chef is in attendance at all times and able to prepare any personal request you have. Food and beverages are of the highest quality and presentation. All staff are exceptional - on all levels. The Hotel is managed by an exceptional Manager who is always in attendance to ensure everything is perfect. His level of perfectionism and professionalism is very evident. He is supported by an exceptional team whose motto is, I'm sure, to ensure all guests have a wonderful holiday experience. Mention has to be made to Maria, Monica, Anna and Geordia - wonderful team at the front of House who go above and beyond to organise anything/everything for you. Nothing is too much trouble and they are the loveliest of ladies. Prior to my arrival I had organised so many activities for our stay through Maria - her professionalism and helpfulness was outstanding. Her attitude was wonderful to any changes (at last minute) my group made and she organised anything we required. All wait staff are wonderful and happy team members and all cleaners are lovely and proficient people. I would recommend this five-star Hotel to anyone and look forward to the further 'extensions' it is making to be ready in 2026 - it will be an unbelievable place to stay.

FAQs about hotels on Kos

A Cultural Crossroad

Birthplace of the father of medicine, Hippocrates, Kos is the 3rd largest island of the Dodecanese. Located in the south Aegean region, this green island has a temperate climate, palm tree-lined avenues, and crystalline blue waters, all accessible by bike.

Featuring a great selection of 5-star hotels and all inclusive resorts, Kos is a tourist and cultural gem with long hours of sunshine and intense nightlife. Kardamena is a popular resort for young holidaymakers, offering a large number of bars and nightclubs.

Founded in 366 BC, Kos Town is home of the imposing medieval Castle of the Knights of Saint John. The traditional village of Afsendiou is a stunning paradise with narrow alleys and spring waters. Another must-see is the picturesque village of Antimachia, with the Venetian castle and the original windmills.

Kefalos village is home of one of the most magnificent Kos beaches, as well as the iconic small island of Kastri. If you are travelling with kids, do not miss Tigaki, a long sandy beach with shallow waters and sun loungers. Savour fresh fish in Mastichari, while enjoying the majestic view of the port.

Booking.com provides everything from hotels and apartments to guest houses, including some near Kos Airport, the second closest airport to Bodrum.

Great location - right in the center; beautiful pool area with nice views; rooms are clean; people working here are so friendly and helpful: both ladies at reception and also the lady at pool bar; our flight was in the evening so it was so nice that the hotel has a proper shower next to pool, including shower gels, hairdryer etc - so we could refresh before flight; overall everything was good and we would stay here again; breakfast was ok - nothing special but there was enough to choose from

I had such a peaceful and relaxing stay at this hotel. I spent three nights here and it was exactly what I needed — a real break from the noise, stress, and everyday rush. The breakfasts and dinners were great, the bar and pool area were super nice, and the quiet sandy beach felt like a private little escape. Big thanks to all the staff for being so kind and attentive — really made the stay even better.

Very friendly stuff, incredibly clean and very comfy bed. Amazing breakfast, huge variety and with good serving times. We booked at a discount on a very good price so it was very value for money. Pool was a nice addition as well. Great amenities in the rooml. Only minor issue is that it is situated on a busy road so if your room is facing that way it can get a bit noisy sometimes.

Mastichari is a small unspoiled quit fishing village with great, budget friendly tavernas, you can seat all day in one of them , sip your cocktail or enjoy freshly catches fish prepared for you, and admire beautiful sea vews in front of you, or just walk a few steps down to the beach and have a refreshing dip in the sea. when you order anything from seafront tavernas, you have sun beds and umbrella for free for all day !

Had a great stay at Anna Maria apartments & ate & drank in their bar, East Coast. Excellent customer service, the food & drinks were exceptional & special thanks to the boy with the beard (sorry I don’t know his name) he looked after us daily & was a credit to the staff. The apartments were very central & directly on the beach, Kardamena has a lot that offer, great bars & restaurants. Hopefully we’ll be back next year. We had an amazing time. Thanks so much 😀

Flight from ATH (Aegean Air) very good.

Flight from ATH (Aegean Air) very good. With luggage in-hand, we got in-line for a taxi to take us to lodging. Terrible experience. Must have been 35++ people in-line, A few taxis came initially. Wait was over 30 minutes. Standing in sun. It took a long time to get a taxi. Way to long. First impression of Kos, very poor. Then, our taxi driver could not find our lodging in the Kefalos area (think this was a rare event, as our lodging was NOT on the taxi drivers GPS display...???). Finally used Google Maps and that worked. Trip was off to poor start and never got better. Disappointed in Kos ground transportation. Have traveled a good number of the Greek Islands. This was the FIRST (Kos) that I would NOT return to.

Tigaki in Kos is a fantastic destination, with beautiful beaches, charming local restaurants, and a relaxed vibe that’s perfect for a getaway.

It's a very small town, there isn't much to see or do. You can pretty much walk in two directions. But Tigaki is close, there's a bit more variety of restaurants and bars and cafes. The beach in Marmari is perfect though! And it's very safe and quiet. I would recommend renting a car anyway, because there's not much else to do and you will be more flexible that way. The sunsets in Marmari are very beautiful!

Loved walking around in the city center and having lunch here during the day, but we mostly had dinner along the beach. Lots of things to see, many boat trips (3 Island Trip with the Oddysey and Nisyros trip highly recommended). Beach: We loved going to Tarzan and using their sunbeds. Also recommend renting a bike and touring for a day. Number 1 restaurant: The Chasapaki

Mastichari is lovely!

Mastichari is lovely! It is a chilled Greek village beside a beach with a small terminal for ferries to / from Kalymnos, and a bus stop that will get you to Kos town or the airport. There is a nice variety of tavernas for traditional Greek food, and a handful of bars. Prices in Mastichari are much cheaper than in Kos town! There are a selection of shops that sell a mixture of groceries, booze, and souvenirs. If you need a big supermarket, head up the hill out of the village and you will come to Constantinos, which has everything you need. There's also plenty of places to hire cars etc. The beach is right beside the village. It is very chilled. There are no noisy bars churning out loud music, or noisy motorised watersports. There are some sunbeds, but the beach is not dominated by them. Most of the holiday makers we saw were, like us, middle aged or older (this is not a criticism!). If you are younger and / or want a lively nightlife, this village may not be for you. Everything is fairly flat (unless you go up that big hill above the village), but you will need to tackle a step or two to get into shops and tavernas. The smaller hotels here will have stairs, not lifts, so do your research if accessibility is an issue for you.
