Categories

Cleanliness
1
Most guests praised the property as spotless and well cleaned (daily cleaning of rooms/whirlpools was mentioned), but a strong complaint about a persistent mold/odor in the bathroom lowered the overall cleanliness sentiment.
Service
1
Consistently praised: multiple guests singled out Vaya and other staff for being exceptionally helpful, accommodating and friendly; manager and reception received very positive mentions.
Location
1
Quiet area and roughly 10–15 (up to 20) minutes walk to town — appreciated for calmness but several guests noted you’ll likely need a car and it’s not within immediate walking-distance convenience.
Room Quality
1
Rooms are described as spacious and lovely by many guests, but significant negatives include the bathroom design offering little privacy, lack of exhaust causing lingering smells and at least one report of strong mold smell — these issues substantially hurt room-quality sentiment.
Amenities
1
Positive mentions of private pools, whirlpools, kitchenette in suites, ability to rent quads, and arrangement of drivers/massages; lack of an in-house restaurant was noted but overall amenities were seen as helpful and pleasant.
Value for Money
1
Not explicitly discussed in the reviews; assigned target overall rating.
Food and Beverage
1
Breakfast received multiple positive comments (enjoyable, good), though some found it limited or repetitive and one guest noted no on-site restaurant — overall mildly positive for short stays.
Overall Experience
1
Majority of guests report a highly enjoyable, restful stay and explicitly recommend the property; service, cleanliness (contradicted by one mold report), and amenities shaped a generally positive overall experience despite specific drawbacks.

Very comfortable stay.
Pros:

It’s fairly new, so it is clean.
The room is very spacious too and just around 10-15 min walk to the main town.
There was some problem with the flush, but it was sorted out immediately.
Vaya was also very accommodating.
Highly recommended

Cons:

None

Erholsame Ferienwoche
Pros:

Unser Aufenthalt war einfach grossartig. Jeden Abend konnten wir unser Frühstück individuell zusammenstellen - pünkltich zur hewünschten Uhrzeit wurde es dan am nächsten Morgen frisch zubereitet direkt aufs Zimmer gebracht. Das gesamte Team war unglaublich freundlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit, besonders wenn es um Tipps für Restaurants oder sehenswerte Ausflugsziele in der Umegbung ging. Die Unterkunft liegt nur etwa 10 Geinuten von der Stadt entfernt. Wer die Insel motorisiert erkunden möchte, kann direkt vor Ort Quads mieten. Sowohl die Zimmer als auch die Whirpools wurden täglich gründlich gereinigt. Es hat uns wirklich an nicht gefehlt. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt und konnten eine absolute erholsame Ferienwoche geniessen. Klare Empfehlung!

Amazing and beautiful
Pros:

Oh I love this place. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I stayed there with my mum and she absolutely loved it. Vaya at the reception was exceptionally nice, and very helpful. The breakfast was so nice. The place was spotless and even better than on the pictures. Vaya arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport and we had the driver for the whole time there. He was super nice. We asked for massage recommendations as in Santorini it can easily get very expensive. Vaya recommended two therapists and they even came to the hotel. It was one of the best massage we had. Everything about this place was nice and we will definitely come back

Cons:

Nothing

Better designed bathrooms would’ve made staying here a lot more enjoyable.
Pros:

The staff was very helpful and kind. Especially John who was very prompt in communicating with us. He even got us a very early check in.

Cons:

The way the rooms are designed with zero privacy with the bathroom use. Also no exhaust fan caused the smell to linger. Taking a shower was messy. There was a strong mold smell in the entire bathroom. That is why I am not fully satisfied with my stay.

Great staff and quiet area
Pros:

The area is very quiet, and the staff were extremely helpful, they assisted with booking a boat trip. The breakfast is good and perfectly fine for a short stay.

Cons:

However, you’ll need a car to get to and from the city center, as it’s about a 15–20 minute walk. After three days, the breakfast can start to feel a bit repetitive.
