Reviews of Karpathios Studios Pefkos 3 stars

Although basic staff were Friendly and pool area was great

Nothing

Excellent location, close to the main town on pefkos and a short stroll down to the beach

Good value for money, not perfect but great for the price of the accommodation

Convenient location with beautiful views

A little to basic ,could do with a few minor changes that wouldn't cost very much , general maintenance.

Location, pool, comfort, friendly staff

No WiFi in rooms- told it was due to roadworks but not the case as we are returning guests and same story last year and also WiFI was working around pool area - not a huge problem just make sure you have adequate roaming package Leaking toilet in Room38 - staff tried their best to solve the issue but ongoing- kindly offered my friend another room when became available

Brilliant hotel, with amazing staff, amazing views and the rooms have a real Greek vibe with the terrace at the front of your room to top it off.

The only fault I can find with the hotel are the beds, our beds were rock solid and it was really hard to sleep some nights. But I’m sure it was just our room and everything else was wonderful!!

Perfect area and stunning views! Everyone so friendly and welcoming. Amazing food and drinks very affordable!

There was ants in the room. At one point was in the bed too. We did get it sorted as the lady came to bring us some ant spray.

It looked pretty in the photos online

Nothing it was dirty insects and cockroaches on arrival. Not been cleaned properly there was 💩on the toilet seat the kettle had old water on it. The kitchen if you can call it that was filthy the sink had not been cleaned There was mould around the fridge rim. All the light switches and plug sockets were sticky dirty and numerous finger prints on them. Long hairs on the bed and pillow. It was like being in a prison cell, I stayed one night as I had arrived after midnight left the next morning the staff member just shrugged his shoulders at me and gave me a filthy look. As a solo young lady I felt very uncomfortable and vulnerable

Karpathios was an absolute pleasure! I stayed 4x times now and will be returning with my family. The rooms are quirky Greek style and very clean with everything you need. Fresh bed linen and towels during your stay and the cleaning staff are very friendly and kind ladies. The bar staff Stavros & Tasos are very accommodating and will take care of everyone and do their best to fulfill everybody’s needs. The swimming pool is very big and very clean. Drinks and food are reasonably priced. And taste good! Also you can see the most beautiful views facing the ocean.

The view from the rooms was lovely. The pool and bar area was never too busy, which was nice and the food/drinks served was tasty and reasonably priced!

There was an issue in my room with ants! There were all over my walls. I couldn't cook in the room because of this as ants would swarm the kitchen. Aircon also cost extra, which was a bit disappointing in the height of summer - I also did not know this until I had gotten there, probably wouldn't have booked if I'd known.

The location is fantastic. This is the third time we have stayed here and is ideal for local beaches and travel to Lindos. The rooms are adequate and basic for what we needed given that they are just for sleeping in. Ideal to have a fridge and kettle. Bathroom facilities were basic but ok. AC was free, previously this was chargeable and there was a provision for a safe with a 15€ charge per week.

The room was not deep cleaned and this time round this was noticeable. The utensils were not checked to ensure they were clean for the next visitor. There was no dishwashing cloths provided so was difficult to ensure cleanliness. There was no toaster or hairdryer despite the description advising there would be. The hill up to the apartment was a struggle this year, I am older so found it harder so if you are not fit or able bodied this will be a challenge. I don’t remember the pool not being heated before, it was very cold initially but you soon got used to it.

kitchen did not open til 1000-too late for breakfast -made our own.location pleasant with nice views over the sea

kitchen times not great 1000-1700 too late for breakfast and much too early for dinner............

Towels and bins changed daily, always sunbeds available, staff friendly, good lcoation.

Not sure that room was cleaned thoroughly throughout our two week stay. Area between beds was dusty, bathroom floor didn't seem to have been mopped.

Good location on the edge of Pefkos / Pefki, although uphill. About 100m from the bars/restaurants. Ample car parking during my stay. Most of the 38 rooms seemed to have some outdoor space to use. There were sufficient plug sockets (4). Hot water throughout the day. Great pool, and beaches a reasonable stroll away. Pool bar open until around 01:30, with friendly bar staff. But only serves food until 17:00. Sky Sports on Pool Bar's TV. Wet-room style bathroom. Regular cleaning/towel changes. A handyman visits everyday to test the pool water, and for any facilities issues you may have.

A seriously steep driveway of about 50m, and transfer coaches will drop you on the road below, leaving you to carry your bags up. In a taxi or car there is no problem. Basic Greek style accommodation, with no frills, other than Aircon (which may be an extra charge). The in-room safety deposit box is €15 per week (in 09/2024), but not big enough for a iPad or laptop. Small kitchen unit, and the old kettle didn't switch itself off and so could get very hot to touch. Turkey Ham instead of real back bacon in the English Breakfast at Pool Bar. Better value options in the village. Mainly clean, but there was black ring around the pool edge, and my very 'brown' toilet brush should be replaced.

Nothing bad to say about it apart from the hill 🤣

The hill up to the apartments, apart from that we loved it!

The location is beautiful, but it's important to note that it's very steep. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone without a car. The bartender guy was friendly, but there's no real staff presence, so don't expect an office or a room tour. For me, it was not a problem.

There were ants in the bed, and the bathroom wasn't very clean. While the cleaning staff made the bed and removed sand from the bathroom, they didn't clean much else. We had almost no basic supplies and had to buy our own toiletries and cleaning products. Additionally, they only accept cash payments at the bar.

Only the view from the balcony, but don't be deluded by the pictures provided from the property, it is not like that when you see it in person.

First of all, in my booking confirmation it was not stated that air condition is extra chargable (see attached screen shot). Upon our arrival Karphatios studios told us that we need to pay 10 euros per day for AC. We didn't want to pay and they did not allow us to use AC if we didn't pay. Because I booked an apartment with AC free of charge and I could not use AC I've been contacting Booking Customer support to help me to get the reimbursement of my money. During our stay I also sent the message via Booking to the owner's daughter Flora if she could provide us with the fan, because the heat and humidity were unbearable in the room, but she never replied to my message. I also asked the staff who work at the reception to forward her the question, but nothing was done. Second, kindly find attached the list of facilities that I booked and I paid for. From that list we were not provided with: -hairdryer -lap top safe -full kitchenware (we didn't get cutting knife and cutting board, cloth, spunge and liquid for dishes) -wineglasses -all the kitchenware WAS DIRTY when we entered the room (see photos attached) and stove top, forks and knives were rusty and not usable. For these facilities which were not provided I demanded from Booking reimbursment of my money (10% of total amount paid for my stay), because I paid for something which I did not recieve and what made my entire stay much more complicated than it should have been. Third, the roof of the balcony was leaking the whole time during our stay there, water was dripping on the entrance and on our terrace table. I complained about that to the owner and again nothing was done. All of that gave me the impression that the owner doesn't care at all about the experience of their guests, especially if you pay the whole amount for your stay in advance, as we did, and now we are facing dificulties to get our money back.

Very good location. Great price. Nice big pool area.

Cleaner hadn’t been in after day 4 so I had to ask. She only came 1 more time in one week.

Amazing design of the room, pool with sunbeds and umbrellas, perfect view, kind personal.

We had big problem with ants, they were all over the room, even bed. Lack of a basic equipment, we had to buy hand soap, soap for dishes and sponge for dishes, salt... But the personal was amazing and when we asked them for anything they took care of it, we borrowed sharp knife, told them about the ants (they dissapeared for a while but were back the next day 😢)

We loved our stay and will come back. Stunning view of mountains and sea from own patio and pool. Most friendly staff. Food and drinks at the pool, but also the little kitchenette comes in handy. 10 min walk to beach, 3 min to town with restaurants and bars..

Friendly staff, good sized pool, location, good value

Don’t mind air con option but €10 a bit much
