Garbis Villas & Apartments
"Third time staying here and it’s always excellent - amazing views out over the coast from the spacious apartment and balcony. Irene the owner is always very welcoming and makes sure you have everything you need. Rooms cleaned daily and fresh towels regularly provided. Taxi arranged to and from the airport and loads of great restaurants in the village. Can’t fault it at all!"
Sami Beach Hotel
"Sami Beach Hotel is a wonderful family run hotel. Spyros, his lovely wife and everyone involved at the hotel give an incredibly warm welcome. They kindly spoilt our daughter on her birthday and saved the day when we had to return after flight problems. Nothing is too much trouble.and you are greeted with a smile by everyone working there. The pool is great, no sunbed hogging, the food at the pool bar excellent and the cocktails amazing (especially the mojitos!) We used the kayak and paddle-boards too which were fun. It is a great location for the tavernas in the village and Sami itself as well as visiting the beautiful Ithaca. The hotel’s airport service is also definitely recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. "
La Signora Hotel
"We didn't expect much, but we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is a boutique style, very clean, and the room we were in was huge in comparison to some high-end hotels. Nothing was broken. We had sufficient amenities and, believe it or not, an abundance of clothes hangers! We didn't use the pool because we spent time with friends at a nearby villa, but the pool was clean, large enough, and the sunbeds were plentifully available. We would walk past at 10:30 am and still see sunbeds free. (We travelled early Sept, so not sure what it would be like in August). The clientele were mainly older, 60-70-year-olds, at a guess? At 46 I felt young! :) Location: It's a pretty easy 10 min walk down to the beach. An exhausting 20 min walk back up a steep hill! Or, an exhausting 20 min walk further UP the hill to main restaurants and bars, and an easy 10 mins stagger back. In heat, it's easier to get a cab which is about EUR 10 max. We hired a quad to get around places during the day to explore, but if you want a quiet break and don't intend to explore, then a few cabs here and there would be the ideal choice. Room for Improvements: Breakfast was basic, but actually not as poor as some reviews I've read. Bacon was good, beans and eggs. It would be great if poached eggs were an option, and decent sausages. Not sure, as we didn't ask, but lattes would also be nice instead of the Urn coffee. We ate on a Greek night (Sunday) for our only evening meal. It was nice, except that the chicken was dangerously undercooked. We left some as it was more than pink, but a bit fleshy. The next day we both had stomach pains/cramps, and my wife for a further 24 hours too. Luckily, it wasn't worse, but the Chef's chicken cooking needs checking before it goes out. Lastly, cats! With so many strays on the island, it would be good if the Hotel discourages/bans guests from buying Cat food and leaving it everywhere. It stinks, and it's unhygienic. Overall I think the most important question is, would we visit this hotel again, and the answer is yes, absolutely. It was fantastic value."
Faro Del Porto
"The owner was there to meet us and take us to our room on the first floor overlooking the harbour. Good size balcony which caught the morning sun. Lovely view of the harbour. Very quiet location but you really need a car to get about as it is on the top of a steep hill."
White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia
"The scenery is very good, breakfast is average"
Porto Skala Hotel Village
"Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic 10 day holiday in July 2025 with our children (age 14 - 23). The hotel is so cute with all the different coloured apartments and the rooms are cool (air conditioned), spacious, comfortable and cleaned every morning with fresh linen and towels. All with a beautiful sea view from the balcony. The pool is just perfect, with plenty of space for everyone and always enough sun loungers. There’s also a poolside bar offering snacks, drinks (hot/cold/cocktails) and lunch menu. The buffet breakfast was nice and had plenty of options. It did get busy towards the end of service so we tended to go early and beat the rush. We didn’t have the dinner option as it was very expensive and with better, cheaper options in the nearby town we were happy to venture out for dinner. The town was quite a walk from the hotel so we took advantage of the hotel bus which ran morning - evening. You just need to book at reception, the staff were always extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. Especially Evelyn - she was an absolute ANGEL and made so much effort to ensure we were happy and had everything we could want and more! I would say it would be beneficial to hire a car as there isn’t much close by and with the temperatures in the high 30s you should ensure it has air conditioning! There is parking across the road from the hotel. As well as two stunning little coves with crystal clear water where our children enjoyed snorkelling to see all the fish. The water was clean and cool - so refreshing on the hottest days. Overall this was a fab holiday that I would recommend. Only thing I would change would be to hire a car so we could travel at our leisure and see more of the island and maybe go slightly earlier or later in the year when it’s not so hot. I also think it would be a great idea for the hotel to have music at the bar in the evenings as it’s such a beautiful spot. There’s lovely seating outside reception overlooking the sea but didn’t ever see anyone serving at that bar. With some music on and a drink with that view it would be just perfect "
Summer Sun
"apartment had great views and very well located near the beach and supermarket. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The owners were very friendly and the roses they grow in the garden are gorgeous. They couldnt do enough to help us. The location was good as being out of town a bit, but still some good restaurants to walk to nearby."
Blue Jasmine Hotel
"I stayed for 3 nights with my 2 daughters in a one bedroom apartment and everything was perfect. Lovely friendly welcome even though it was late, a large apartment with 2 bathrooms, a lovely balcony, very effective air con and a little kitchenette. The pool area was so relaxing with very comfortable sun beds and always quiet. The breakfast was better than we could have wished for! A great self serve selection of fruits, cereals, cheeses, meats, yogurts etc then a cooked to order menu with the best poached eggs I’ve had in a long time. I did not want to leave this place. Such friendly warm staff too that always had a smile on their faces. Thank you for getting our holiday off to the perfect start ."
Leivatho Hotel
"Absolutely beautiful hotel in quiet location but very near to our favourite beach (Avithos). The staff are friendly, kind and helpful. It’s a very relaxed environment. The hotel itself is chic and comfortable. The pool is crystal clear. Absolutely love this place. Having been twice now, will go again!"

"We stayed for four nights and enjoyed every moment! The hospitality was exceptional! Aen excellent breakfast with the option to take a pastry for later, spotless cleanliness, a stunning view, and a warm, homey atmosphere. Highly recommended!"
Princess Hotel
"Stunning location so close to the beach. The hotel itself was so cosy, we were well looked after by every member of staff. Our rooms were cleaned perfectly everyday, and the room itself was perfect. Super cosy, easy to change the room temperature and we had no issues with noise at night. The hotel breakfast, then pool side bar during the day was divine. amazing selection of food for very reasonable pricing."
Diana Studios
"We had a wonderful few days at Diana studios before setting off on a cycling trip. Alex kindly upgraded us to a suite (thanks Alex) as we had arrived early in the season and the suite was an available. The suite was fabulous and the views were spectacular. We loved having breakfast on the terrace, watching the birds skim the pool and the scent of the jasmine and honeysuckle everywhere."
Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa
"I had such a wonderful experience at the spa today. Although I’m not staying at the hotel, I booked a massage and I’m so glad I did. My massage therapist, Antonia, was absolutely incredible. She was so friendly and kind, and gave one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I usually go for strong Thai massages, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from a relaxing massage, but it was fantastic. The pressure was perfect, and she really helped ease the pain and tension in my back. I left feeling so much better. I’d also like to thank the lovely receptionist who welcomed me when I arrived. She and Antonia were both so warm and friendly, and they made me feel completely at ease. They also arranged for me to enjoy the sauna and steam room after my treatment, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. Before my massage, I had lunch by the pool, and it was absolutely delicious. The food tasted incredibly fresh, the setting was beautiful, and the service was excellent. A thank you to Chris, who was so helpful and happy to offer advice for the rest of my stay in Kefalonia. I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kefalonia. Even if you’re not staying there, it’s well worth booking a spa treatment and enjoying lunch. I’ll definitely be back!"
Eliámos Villas Hotel & Spa – Relais & Châteaux
"Eliamos is a beautiful and intimate property. The rooms are huge and have a great private pool - you won’t want to leave. The highlight is the restaurant. We are almost every meal there and never got tired of it. The best food with local ingredients and a diverse menu. The breakfast was one of best we have ever had. We didn’t use the gym or spa but both looked great too. It’s on a secluded part of the island so a rental car is a must for exploring. See Antisamos Beach and Melissani Caves. Not a “kid focused” hotel, but they were great with our kids."
Ionian Emerald Resort
"Very good hotel we stayed in a superior room with pool and sea view which was ok but the bathroom needs updating. Plus points however are it was kept spotlessly clean by the maid Adriana who seemed to be always cleanjng. The breakfast room was very inviting with plenty of choices and the two ladies there were very pleasant and helpful. The pool didn't really have a shallow end so not suitable for non -swimmers as was stated by several people because difficult to access. Lovely setting with small private beach. Two tavernas close by but no local supermarket. There was however a bakery. Easy stroll into Sami about 20 minutes where there are many excellent restaurants. Please note that the sister hotel Athina has use of the pool. The Athina bar however at night is lovely with reasonable prices. Bar at the Emerald lacks atmosphere and is usually empty."
Louis Apostolata Island Resort
"Lovely experience with spending a week in Apostolata. The place, rooms, restaurants and service is great! Most of all I appreciate Staff’s attitude and kindness, it was a pleasure to see how everyone is engaged. Good location to sighseeing, in the hotel if you like people, music and fun you stay in the swimming pool area and if you need quiet and relax you go to the sea terraces down the path. A lot of stairs so not recommended to people with mobility problems. Also not recommended to those who like to go out for a city night in the evenings. Overall amazing stay."
Ionian Treasure Suites
Celestial All Suites
"This is a brilliant beautiful hotel in a quiet location amongst the hills yet close to the sea It has great rooms Each has a plunge pool & large balcony with a country view There is an Enormous impressive swimming pool & always sun loungers/parasols available My only negative is the food for half board isn’t great plus theres no entertainment. This would work well in the bar area, at least once a week The staff are consistently amazing & nothing is too much trouble With a few small tweaks, this place could be world class"
Makis Hotel
"Lovely small boutique type hotel . I would say it deserves 4*. Staff very polite, friendly cant do enough for you.Beach front hotel very short walk up into the town plenty of restaurants to choose from. Lia the owner has done fantastic job refurbing the hotel.lots of return visitors we would definitely recommend & return here."
Avithos Resort Hotel
"The rooms are rather small, and the swimming pool isn't very big either."
Mouikis Hotel Kefalonia
"The hotel has a great location, not far from the beach, and plenty of restaurants nearby. There's a small supermarket to the right of the hotel entrance where you can buy yogurt and other similar items. Behind the hotel is a commercial street where you can shop, but the shop owners are quite casual, and some close very early. The room has a small balcony, not too big or too small. The only drawback is the poorly designed bathroom; the shower is too small, and the toilet paper isn't even next to the toilet! You can arrange airport or ferry pick-up through the hotel on Ctrip, but this will incur an additional fee."
F Zeen Kefalonia
"Wasnt so clean."
Alley Boutique Hotel and Spa
"Lovely hotel. Great location. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Will definately use again."
Tetra Retreat
"We were the first guests at this hotel, and spent 10days here we stayed in the swim up sea front room, ( we highly recommend this room to stay) by far the nicest room we have stayed in, it had stunning views which had the sun until late evening , we had the warmest welcome by all the staff, they couldn’t have done more for us, we really enjoyed our stay here it was the perfect chill out location, the hotel was walking distance to a few good restaurants, I would highly recommend renting a car for a few days of your trip too if you like a adventure thanks to everyone at the hotel for our great experience."
