Reviews of Maritsa Lodge

Breakfast was simple but good

A very atmospheric hotel in a traditional Cypriot house, with authentic decor that really makes you feel like you’re staying in a village home. The location is excellent – right on a beautiful medieval street that leads to the central square and waterfalls. The hotel is inexpensive, and for Kakopetria, where you generally can’t expect modern comfort and high-level service, this is an honest and fair price for what you get. Overall, it’s one of the best authentic options to stay in the village.

Our room was on the ground floor (semi-basement), very dark inside with no view from the windows. The bed creaked with every movement, making it difficult to sleep. The floor is old, so slippers are a must – it’s uncomfortable without them. The air conditioning didn’t cool properly and, along with the fridge, was noisy at night. Soundproofing is very poor – you can hear footsteps, showers, toilets, and even all the conversations of neighbors and their children, which was especially disturbing early in the morning.

In the heart of old village. Room was in old classic style. Very stylish. Quiet, relaxing, privat terrace.

I like this one.

Charming little gem in the heart of Kakopetria! This quaint lodge is perfectly located in the beautiful old town of Kakopetria—an ideal base for exploring the village. The breakfast was simple but delicious, and the service throughout our stay was warm and attentive. The lodge is decorated, showcasing elements of Cypriot heritage—such as stone walls, wooden beams, crochet and rustic furnishings—while still providing the essentials for a relaxing stay. Maritsa makes a great frappe!! Kakopetria itself is a must-visit, full of character and charm. The village has excellent restaurants serving mouthwatering traditional Cypriot dishes. A special highlight for families is the local village swimming pool run by a lovely lady called Maro —spacious, clean, and very well maintained. The food there is fantastic, and the staff are just as friendly and helpful. A perfect spot for a relaxing day with the kids!

No negatives - highly recommended

The location is great! Probably the best spot in Kakopetria. The place is traditional with nice views.

The pillows were very bad and the bed was quite firm. Our room was right under another room and we could hear the other guests when trying to sleep.

Location Staff, Ms Maria was super nice

The mattress was too soft and needed replacement A/C was making a noise The wooden roof was making noises (cracking) during the night, probably from temperature changes

Situated in a renovated traditional house, the place is packed with charm. Our hostess, Mrs. Maritsa, is charming and helpful. Breakfast was simple, but ample and tasty. There is free parking about 100 meters away, as the place is in the old part of the village between the two rivers and not accessible to cars. We could hear the river flowing below our window - beautiful and close to nature.

I would have liked reading lamps by the bed and more space to put our toiletries in the spacious bathroom. This time, we didn't have the time of inclination to watch TV, but if we come again in the winter, it would be good to have a larger and Smart TV. The rooms had nice old wood furniture but looked a bit bare - some colourful textiles or pictures on the walls would lift the ambience.

Location, cleanliness, quiet

The breakfast options should be more traditional (Cypriot food)

This hotel is in the old part of Kakopetria which is an amazing place to visit. The site itself is spread in the private territory which is very nicely decorated , the views are gorgeous! The room felt very clean, bed linen fresh, bathroom also very clean (with bathtub), room equipped with a fridge, kettle, dishes.
