Koki Studios

Dirty and abandoned common outdoor spaces. Dirty room. Total absence of services. The services are the responsibility of the elderly owner who cannot guarantee them. She apologized to us but we paid more than 100€ per night the room and we never had the garbage thrown in 8 days. Not acceptable. I made a bad Airbnb review and they had the courage to reply that it was we who did not allow access to the cleaner when the same lady told us she did not have an attendant and that she was too tired to be able to clean. We understood it but meanwhile our money (which had to include cleaning) took it.

Location is perfect for the beach and up towards the village. The view from the terrace is just beautiful. The apartments are everything you need. Clean and comfortable. The owner who lives above is wonderful. Can't wait to come back next year.

I stayed in Room 1 which is the lowest room at the Koki. However I still had a good view and the room was of a good size. I could share the middle terrace and top terrace which was great. The lady who owns and lives above the property is soooo sweet - Faidra/Fedra. I booked through Booking.com and they provided a private transfer to and from the airport at a lesser cost to the taxis I normally get. However, I think I will stick to taxis in the future as the private transfer does not have a license to drop at the main square which is closer to the Koki. This is the first time I've had to pay extra for aircon for many years - 70 euros extra for the week which I hadn't planned on. The upstairs terrace is as ever, wonderful. Loads of space and great views. The Koki is only minutes from Pallas beach and is in a quiet position (much too handy for the Rainbird bar though - ha). The only thing that really disappointed me was that there was nothing to 'welcome' you - no water left in the fridge (which wasn't even switched on). I stayed in the Maris in May this year and there was water and wine as a welcome! I arrived late at night and therefore struggled to find water bottles at that time. Also, kitchen ware is sparse and there are no hairdryers.
