Mooie ruime kamer
Pros:

Heel goed gelegen, ruime kamer, parking bij, elke dag bed gemaakt en nieuwe handdoeken, eigenares is supervriendelijk en behulpzaam, leuk dat mevrouw ook katjes eten en drinken geeft, voor mij is dit een groot pluspunt, ik heb altijd kattekorreltjes bij me, kamer is prijs/kwaliteit, een aanrader !!

Cons:

Niks

Tranquil Oasis in Ios
Pros:

The hosts were warm friendly and helpful. Location was perfect for the beach and port, with the added bonus of feeling to be in the countryside Regular buses from the port to the chora and other beaches. Room was spacious and clean with daily service, and a pretty little courtyard. Kettle crockery etc available on request. Nice added touch of local flowers in the room. The hosts take great pride in their garden and seating areas provided for quests. Great value for money.

Great location, Great staff, Great accomadtion, Great Holiday !
Pros:

The property is visually stunning with a great communal courtyard styled authentically. The rooms ranged from minimal to lush but great value for money all around. We loved our stay here we met so many like minded travellers and the mother and son duo running this place makes everything seemless. Thanks so much for your hospitality we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay !

Cons:

N/A maybe shower heads
