The owner was extremely nice and hospitable allowing us an early check in. her son told us all about the activities to do on the island and gave us a discount for an organised bar crawl which was amazing. The rooms were cleaned daily and were well equipped with most things we needed. The location is very good as it is close to the beach (less than a 5 min walk) and only a short walk up the hill to the town and clubs in chora. I cannot stress enough how kind the owners were, cleaning up a smashed wine bottle for us and letting us check out late too.
My only complaint would be that the walk up the hill to the village could be quite long in the heat, the WiFi would sometimes drop out (but was normally back within a few minutes) and a few times the shower would go cold but these were all few and far between so hardly need mentioning

Bernise (the owner) and her son were lovely and so helpful and personable. She gave us lots of recommendations and nothing seemed too much trouble. The accommodation itself had a beautiful outside area, and the room was comfortable with air con. It was a short walk to the port and very easy to walk to the bus stop or cafes on the beach front.
The only thing that could be improved was the shower which was only hand held, and it didn’t drain so the shower water overflowed into the bathroom. Wasn’t a major issue as there was a wet room style drain.

Very quiet complex, very beautiful entrance, clean and modern rooms, 5 minute walk from a lovely sandy beach and beach front restaurants. Lovely kind host!
Do not follow Google maps to get here unless it takes you down the sea front or else you'll end up very lost! Greek beds aren't very comfy. Approx 25 minute walk into Chora (the main area) or a 10 minute walk and a 5 minute bus - ask for directions or else you'll get lost! Also Ios starts to shut from October so keep this in mind!

The host was so kind and hospitable. Our first night she introduced us to her son who set us up with actives and recommendations. location is great, nice and close to the port and a short (but steep) walk up to the main town of chora — buses are also available close by that are easy to take up into the town. a couple minutes away from the beach too this hotel is super accessible.
the wifi wasn’t working for us in our room. however they had a garden area which we could sit in and access wifi during the day which was nice

Perfect location. Walking distance to the beach and into town. Our room was perfect with nice clean room and bathroom, and it also had a balcony over looking their beautiful garden. The staff were amazing. They gave us so much advice and recommendations and were always responsive when ever we had any questions. We felt very comfortable here
There was nothing to fault with this accomodation. Everything was amazing

The location was excellent, just a 5 minute walk from the ferry. We had backpacks - so this was fine, if you have heavy bags…. You may need to reconsider walking. Berniece, the host, was amazing - very welcoming and friendly. Excellent value. We preferred the port to the Chora.
Our shower fixing just needed mending, BUT this did NOT detract from our enjoyment.

The location is great, just a few minutes walk from the port. It was a bit difficult to find the place at night, although that's mostly because of not knowing the area. The room was clean, no issues with that.
The worst part was probably the bed, didn't have a great sleep, would need some improvement. Otherwise everything was pretty good for the price paid.

Quiet location, close to the beach and town, we only stayed one night as we also needed the kitchen. The next day I met with the owner and she told me that if I communicated this wish in time, it could be resolved to have a fully equipped kitchen!
The light in the bathroom was very weak and intermittent, and the terrace had no view, it is between buildings.

Clean and friendly staff. Beds are ok. Working AC and didn’t have problems with the hot water, only the wifi was a bit spotty . A bit rundown but the location is perfect to reach the beach on foot. If you need to go to Chora, ask the host and they will give you some tips.
Just seems like the property hasn’t been doing too well so it feels forgotten.

The location was amazing- so close to the port, opposite the beach and you can walk to chora. when we arrived we were given so much helpful information about what to do - including hidden beaches walking distance and directed to the steps that took you into and home from chora which was a 15 minute walk but the buses were also very easy! The property was beautiful with a room that was spacious and comfortable and a very pretty courtyard. highly recommend and could’ve stayed longer.
