Glyfa Corfu Apartments

Good
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Comfortable modern apartment. The cleaning staff exceptional. Cleaned every 2 days with fresh towels to a high standard.
  : Would have been better to have more information on how to check in, although a member of staff at the Glyfa Taverna very kindly helped. More information about things to do and see in local area would have been helpful. The location and terrain could have been better... the hill down to the apartment was steep and uneven. Also would have been good to have an on site supermarket. The walk to the supermarket in Barbati was on a busy main road with no pavement and felt unsafe. There wee buses however but not too frequent albeit a good service. Would have preferred a balcony and nit a terrace. Also a view other than a wall would have been good.

Poor
Traveller Type:
  : The beach at the bottom of the steps was lovely - sunbeds were available, the water was crystal-clear, and the beach was uncrowded.
  : Unfortunately, the apartment, though clean, was in rather bad shape and definitely requires a revamp. The fridge-freezer was old, lacked shelves, and the freezing unit was almost completely frosted. There were small ants running continuously on the kitchen top. The oven-grill was old and rusted on the outside. The double bed in the master bedroom upstairs was essentially two single beds pulled together with a break in the middle. Worst of all, the air-conditioning units were not only old (with plastic yellow from age), but refused to work (first the unit downstairs, then, on the second night, the unit upstairs). It made our nights difficult to bear (the apartment no. 1 where we stayed is just next to a busy coastal road - opening windows meant constant noise from the road). We appreciated that, to make up for our difficult stay, the manager moved us for our last night to a neighbouring property of higher standard and with working A/C. We were very grateful for that, nonetheless, we feel that Glyfa apartments did not live up to what it promised on Booking.com.
