My partner and I had a weeks stay here and can say the only positive thing was the size of the room. Seriously nothing else was good! Terrible service, pool was green when we arrived (it was cleaned a few days later but totoally put me off). Unfriendly family to the point you didn't want to request anything for the... More

My partner and I had not visited Kos before and we were looking for a last minute all-inclusive deal. We found the Giakalis Aparthotel and thought it looked ideal and matched our requirements. I read several reviews before we travelled and noted how low this hotel scored, particuarly relating to the food but we went with an open mind. We... More

I'm afraid being Greek myself, i was ashamed to see that short of treatment in a Greek Island. To be fair this is a very basic Hotel and if i ever visit a Hotel in Greece i will go for a 4 or 5 star and read the reviews. Or i will not accept to pay anything above 30 euro... More

Returned this am exhausted but relaxed after a well earned break Well ...what can I see ....I have been drained by the constant complaints that we endured each day, which only perpetuated the problems .I fortunately had researched Giakalis and realised that it was a three star hotel ,so to be fair realised what to expect (unlike others who were...

KOS is a beautiful island and it would be a shame if people were put off from returning by the unfortunate treatment received at the Giakalis. I am in total agreement with all the reviews already posted and more besides. Unfortunately for us when we reviewed the hotel it was back in May and at that time no one had... More

Firstly, i can understand why so many people are slating this hotel, however from going on many all inclusive holidays in the Greek Islands, it's pretty much on a par with them. Ok, so the food isn't fantastic, but then we're on holiday and i certainly wouldn't be expecting fish, chips and mushy peas every night. Once you get past... More

I am really trying to find something nice to say about this hotel but unfortunately I can't. For a start it is not really ALL INCLUSIVE as advertised, for instance 'ice cream' is only available to the kids and that is only between 4&5 pm (and they can only have the one!) before or after that it'll cost you 3.5...

Right, how can i explain what this place and the people and the service is actually like? Well, we had a good start not! We arrived at the hotel to be told we needed a voucher to get in by the receptionist, Lisa. Which we didn't have as it was a last minute booking and nothing of course came through... More

Rated as a 4* hotel it was pushing it to be a 3*. The all inclusive package consisted of inedible food and the drings weren't much better - beer, wine aka vinegar, ouzo and soft drinks - everything else was an additional cost. Only some of the rooms had air con which again was at an additional cost and if... More
