Summer Village of Hippokrates

"Brilliant family run hotel, the location was amazing we were surrounded by farmland which is always absolutely charming anywhere in Greece, The local wildlife was a joy to see. There were views of the mountains and a sunset that was gorgeous from the hotel bar and our pool. The hotel was 20 minutes by bus to KOS, bus stop a 2 -3 minute walk from the hotel. Buses were airconditioned cost 2.50 euros each. A walk to the beach was a 10-15 minute straight flat walk which was very pleasant and not taxing for me, fine white sand and shallow water awaited. There are a couple of local shops 2 minute walk there is also a big supermarket you can get to in 10 minutes selling lots of local honey and Donkey milk products which are brilliant. The rooms were serviced daily to a high standard, the room was perfect for two, plenty of hanging space, shower water pressure was very good, hairdryer, complimentary, shower and hair shampoo good quality. Mattress on beds very comfy and pillows were soft, bedlinen clean and crisp, included a TV that we did not use, the wi-fi was not adequate unfortunately, it mattered not to me as I bought books, but my partner uses his phone for music and e-commerce. The safe was not charged for, towels to hire out for the sunbeds for 10 euro each which was refunded at checkout. Air conditioning worked very well. Quiet location away from bar and entertainment nights. The room was straight out onto sunbeds and a large pool the swallows practiced their skills drinking on wing with the babies which was an amazing sight to see at 6.30 in the morning whilst having a cuppa tea. The atmosphere was chilled, a mix of nationalities but we all communicated well. I have to say, this is the most perfect holiday we have been on, we normally do beach holidays, but this had the edge in terms of location and facilities for us the pool outside the room!. We went to the Greek night and those young people holding up the traditional dance were fantastic what an entertaining night. The food was fabulous, it had fresh fruit and yoghurt, hot options, cheese and meat options along with fresh bread and juice. It also had a good selection of hot meals that will please varied palates. We could not fault it. The grounds were kept beautifully! Last but not least the staff meet and greet, the reception, kitchen, serving, housekeeping, grounds staff all were excellent in their role and we appreciated the work they do in keeping us as tourists happy on holidays. It was an amazing holiday thank you."

"It was amazing to be back. Everything is so wonderful. The hotel has changed so much for the better. Although it’s always been a pleasure to stay here, now it’s even more impressive—spacious, bright, and cozy. The staff is wonderful. Sofoklis, the bar’s star, makes the very best cocktails; his smile and attention are enchanting. We’ll be back next year. ❤️"

"Really beautiful hotel in a lovely rural location. Everything was perfect apart from one small observation....one of the bar staff had a real problem with me. He wouldn't even look at me turning his head away and slamming the drinks down on the bar. It was so unfathomable as the only interaction we had was 'please could I have?' And 'thank you'. When I approached the bar I'd greet him but he wouldn't reply just stare at me. He wouldn't ask what I wanted and as I say not even look at me. On one occasion I asked for a drink, he poured it,turned away from me and slammed it down. I'm not sure whether it was xenophobia or misogyny? They are the two options that come to mind. Maybe both?"
