If you’re going up-to Olymbos or Diafani to do a day trip to Saria Island this place is perfect. Did have my doubts about the place but checked the reviews, all seemed fine but still had that nagging doubt. Well I shouldn’t have worried because the Greek lady who meets you is so so kind, cannot speak English, but then I can’t speak Greek but somehow it works. What a great stay. Big room, amazing view from the very big balcony over the bay and harbour . Amazingly clean lovely shower, not new but a great space and water pressure. Two minute leisurely walk to the beach and tavernas, what’s not to like…..and all this for 48 euros a night…. Unbelievable. Fridge, comfy queen size bed, kettle, pots/pans/cutlery. She even brought me out a plate of fried loukoumades when I left to eat on the journey back to Pigadia but I had no space on the quad bike so had to politely refuse….. but what a darling !

Nothing really, but the property states payment in cash only and it is written on Booking.com however be aware as it could cause problems if you don’t have cash. In time this may change but don’t get caught out.

La gentilezza di Phoula, la Signora Greca che lo gestisce con la figlia. Parla solo greco ma si fa comprendere. La descrizione delle stanze è veritiera. Diafani e Olimpo sono appena sfiorate dal turismo di massa. Sono legate alle loro tradizioni. Per il pesce fresco merita la taverna di Delfinos

Najmilsza obsługa, czułam się jak w rodzinnym domu. Od razu czekała na Nas właścicielka i pokazała Nam pokój i poczęstowała domowym wypiekiem i napojami. Zawsze uśmiechnięta i pełna dobroci. Prawdziwą Grecka gościnność. Dziękujemy.

- The old lady running the whole hotel on her own was very kind and helpful. She even gave us figs from her field.

- Too small bathroom with poor water flow - When the air condition is open, the balcony floor gets full of water - Really annoying bed, the noisiest I have ever seen - Unacceptable that I was forced to pay in cash but didn’t get a receipt after I asked for it. Using the excuse that she is not living in Karpathos, the hotel owner told that she will send it electronically, but of course she didn’t. Normally the receipt is given exactly after the payment but I guess this hotel applies its own rules.
