  : Great location 10 minutes from Skiathos Town, Alexandra was lovely and greeted me on arrival. Room was basic but had everything I needed. Street lighting is minimal on walking back from town in the evenings however the area felt very safe (from a young solo female traveller). Porch area was beautiful, would definitely stay here again!
  : Signage on property was a bit hidden and I got a bit lost trying to find it on my first night as it was dark.

  : Great welcoming by Alexandra and her family, we were treated like special guests, more than like just turists. The place is very nice, with a great piece of garden to enjoy. Temperatures were cooler than the rest of the town, since it's located on the hill.
  : It seemed a bit difficult to find at first, but just calling Alexandra we solved this issue: she explained where to go in perfect English.

Very Good

  : Alexandra was a great hostess and gave us really good service and tips of the island. Pefect locateded and a short walk to the harbor.
  : The beds was a little hard.

Disappointing

  : The accommodation is in a good location. It is close to the main port and all the restaurants/shops.Our hosts parents, greeted us on arrival with coffee and a welcoming smile. Her father cleaned our room every morning.
  : Value for money was below poor. We had been travelling for 7 weeks and could honestly say this accommodation was the worst for value for money. The price is far to high for what you get. Which is next to nothing. Very basic. After reading the reviews and seeing how attentive and accommodating the host was made out to be we were excited to stay. Unfortunately this was not the case for us and we received a completely different experience. For example we were not greeted by the host, we were informed we would meet her at 5pm on the day we arrived, however instead we met in passing the next day and it was not a greeting we had hoped for. (Even though she lives in the same building)We next met after having to request toilet paper (which was supposed to be given daily, we've never had to do this before).Due to the lack of information given by the host, we even struggled to open the main gate late at night. We also were told that laundry was an extra charge which we were completely fine with, however after receiving our clothes back the following day we noticed, holes, stains, dyes and completely damaged materials. We informed the host yet it took her over 24 hours to even see our message. We did not have to pay the laundry charge. But we did however end up having to spend 60+ on new clothes as replacements. As the week went on new couples and families turned up to stay at the accommodation and we noticed they were greeted with a welcoming host and was even given a range of information about the island, an attentive host that we unfortunately did not have. We are unsure why we did not receive the same welcoming ect. So due to this we did not enjoy our stay and unfortunately will not be returning. Just to add however the hosts parents are lovely and could not be more welcoming and attentive in their own way and they made the whole stay bearable.

  : Old but clean room. All as we accepted from the previous recommendation...
  : Funny smell of the old furniture, very uncomfortable bed and pillows noisy AC, vent and fridge...I know this is not the owner fault but there is currently some reconstruction nearby and the noise starts from very morning...
