Charis Guesthouse

Good
Traveller Type: young couple
  : The view from our room was amazing. The hotel's location was exceptional. It was right on the main street and square of Makrinitsa. The owners were welcoming, and due to the coronavirus situation, the hostess served us breakfast at our table every morning so that food wasn't exposed to other guests. They offered us hand sanitizer and wipes as well.
  : Considering what we paid for the room, the bathroom did not meet our expectations. The shower was incredibly uncomfortable, considering that it was a plastic block on the floor with a drain, and a single sheet on one side that did nothing to block the water from flooding the whole bathroom. (see photo attached). Furthermore, the toilet would not refill itself with water after being flushed. At first we thought it was broken after the first flush since the tank had emptied and wouldn't refill. Then we realized we had to manually turn the knob to refill it with water every time. If you didn't close it in time once it was filled, then the water would overflow and spray out of the tank.Be warned, the room does not have air conditioning. That wouldn't have been so bad, except that the windows didn't have screens. So if you wanted a breeze, you also had to accept bugs and mosquitos. Last but not least, the room was definitely not soundproof, and the walls were incredibly thin. We could hear guests through both walls.

Wonderful

  : My room was very clean and comfortable with a very nice view. The hotel is located in the centre of the village and is exquisitely decorated. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They accepted to offer me a late check out without extra charging and my laundry was taken care of.
  : My room was a bit prone to noise, as it was located above the dining hall and the cafe.

Very Good

  : the view from the room and the location was excellent and the staff was polite .Everything was close to the room and we did not have to use the car for the days we stayed .
  : the mattress quality was very poor and owners have to consider to replace them with a better quality mattress . Further to the above the heating of the room was not sufficient for our standards ( the heating was switched off during night and this is the first time we face something like this .
