3 Star Kos Holidays

My Family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Greek hotel! From the moment we arrived, Nikos and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and especially family-friendly, which made traveling with children so much easier and more enjoyable. The food was absolutely excellent — fresh, delicious, and with plenty of variety every day. We especially loved the local Greek dishes and the quality of the lunch and dinner buffet as well as dessert. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, with a lovely pool area and a peaceful holiday atmosphere. What truly made the experience special was the kindness and professionalism of the staff, honorable mention for Dimitra - who was always smiling, attentive, and ready to help. We would happily return and highly recommend this hotel to families looking for a relaxing and memorable holiday in Greece!

One of the best vacations I've ever had. The food was simply excellent—the best I've experienced in Greece so far. The selection was huge, and even during the entire stay, I didn't manage to try everything. The hotel grounds are beautiful, well-maintained, and full of cats, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were clean and serviced every day. The only thing I might improve is having more storage space in the family room, but it was not a major issue. A big thank you goes to the owner, Dimitra. She was very kind, helpful, and always ready to assist. We also really appreciated that she personally came to say goodbye to us when we left. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is not looking for a busy resort, but rather a place where they can truly relax, unwind, and enjoy a pleasant atmosphere.

Building is tired, some of the staff are happy, I don’t think it’s worth paying extra for all inclusive as the food isn’t worth it and neither is the drink really. However it’s nice and quiet, good location just outside of town takes about tens mins to walk to beautiful food and drink and beach.

Nathan Kelly

Lovely peaceful holiday location,food was excellent and rooms cleaned with fresh towels every day, Clean pool and friendly staff. 15 minute walk to the beach or take the free shuttle bus and 10 min walk to main shops and local tavernas

Phil Edwards

Great location and great hotel. The room was cleaned everyday. We went half board and the evening meals were very nice and fresh. We only had the breakfast once because it was very basic so we waited until 10.00am for the snack bar to open. The snack pool bar was great and George and Valantis always had a smile on their face. Nothing was too much for them. We had a sea view on the top floor so it was nice waking up to that everyday. I do think the Air conditioning price for 1 week was a little expensive. It was July so you definitely can not do without it. The room does have a metal key card so the air-conditioning unit will automatically switch off when you leave your room! So you do go back onto your room with it being very warm .The reception team are very happy and always willing to help you if you have a question. The pool was nice and big but would benefit from a clean everynight and morning. Many bugs and flower petals get in it and it just needs a good clean before its open at 10.00am and after the closing time at 6.00pm. I would definitely stay here again and I do recommend it for what we paid. Overall a nice hotel in Kardamena close to all amenities.

Tom Innes

A bit dated room, clean though. Showering can be messy. Staff helpful. Breakfast is continental. Location is perfect for north end of the strip.

phil caunce

Hi everyone. Just looking for some info please. We arrive around 1am next month and whilst my wife will just want to sleep, I'll be desperate for a beer. Is the bar in the hotel still accessible at that time or is there any bars close by ? Thank you in advance

Sarah Weller

I had a stroke whilst on my first holiday here. Only i didnt understand what had happened to me.One member of staff treated me horrifically by shouting at me several times for trying to use my mobility scooter to get to my bedroom as i was unable to walk after my stroke. Do not stay here if you have walking difficulties.

Brandon Riley

Staff were amazing! Very happy joyful people that put a smile on my face every time. Self check-in that can be done on their website in advance of your holiday to save time with the check in process was great. Extra charges for air con and safe but I didn't use them. My room was really dated though, furniture was wobbly, bed was hard, my bathroom door was so creeky, the noise levels in general were really bad that everything echoed in the hallways, you could hear other guests sleeping and coughing, the balcony door had zero soundproofing, honestly didn't get a good sleep all week there. Shower was a nightmare to use as the shower curtain only covered one side of the shower and soaked the toilet and toilet paper. But it is in an excellent location next to some gem spots. 5 mins stroll to the beach next to banana beach bar, extremely underrated and so peaceful!

Dimitrios Zarakis

had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their warm and attentive service. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and any questions I had were handled quickly and professionally. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail—from the cozy bedding to the well-maintained amenities. It truly felt like a home away from home. The hotel’s location was also a major plus, making it easy to explore the surrounding area and access nearby attractions. On top of that, the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting, which made it easy to unwind after a long day. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay. I look forward to coming back again in the future

We recently stayed at a hotel in Kos and honestly it was one of the worst experiences we’ve had. The rooms were dirty, the food was not nice at all, and even the drinks tasted awful. The service was poor and the hotel was far out of the area with not much around it. We paid over £1,000 for this holiday but ended up changing hotels because we simply couldn’t stay there any longer. We paid extra to move into Atlantis Hotel in Kos Town and the difference was unbelievable — 1000% better in every way. Clean rooms, much better atmosphere, better service, and actually enjoyable. Very disappointed with our original hotel experience and would not recommend it to anyone.

Chandni Clark

Thank you so much for my stay, you guys are great and the hotel is gorgeous! Such a warm and homely feel to this place, everyone so helpful and kind. Take care of yourselves, see you again soon :)

Patience A. Omoruyi

We stayed here for my 40th birthday destination celebration with my family/extended families from around the world and can attest the host Nicolas, Denise and staffs at the location were amazing. They were supportive in every possible way and went above and beyond for us as a group. I will definitely return here with my children

Adam Knight

Very disappointed with this hotel. Reading over reviews on the love holiday site about this place are exactly right. Absolutely awful place not a 4 star hotel. False advertisement. Food very poor choice couldn't eat there as we found mould on a few of the items. 1 being tinned fruit in a plastic bowl. Furry mould all over the top of it. And we all know how long that stuff lasts when its in the tin in our cupboards. Then thought I have scrambled egg on toast. When approaching the bread to toast mould all the way through it. No choice of different foods. We felt we cohldnt eat there and had to eat out every day after paying for all inclusive option Same every day. Room was terrible wires hanging of the wall taps away from the wall. No guard rail on a low balcony. Very dangerous. Drinks was useless warm and again not much to choose from. No WiFi in the rooms. The grounds are not like the photos old banger in the pathway bath tubs broken down fridges. Pallet of old stoves broken down billiard table pallets every where. No entertainment we was told not the season for it we went 16th June. All in all absolute rubbish run down place. Do NOT waste your money like we did PLEASE. At 1 point there was 5 of us in the hotel and that included me and my Mrs. 89 year old lady digging up the garden outside of our room no help from anyone this was the owners mum digging. Why he just sat there smoking and drinking coffee all day. No massages facilities like stated when sold to us. When ask to look at the gym was fobbed of they couldn't find the key. No snacks through out the day like stated again. Owner told the staff not to put them out because not enough people. No entertainment like stated yet again. Hairdryer that was stated with the room wasnt there had to go down and hire one. Owners are just money grabbing and not fulfilling what they are stating hotel provides. The onside shop if thats what you want to call it never open.when speaking to the owners it felt like they have given up on the hotel saying they are getting to old for it all. Do us a favour and sell it let someone else sort it out. Other hotels on the island very busy and so much better.

Lovely hotel, relaxing atmosphere, comfortable rooms and beautiful grounds. Great pool. A few minutes walk to the beach, which is also very nice. Close to the busy tourist centre of Tigaki but calm and quiet. Most important - the helpful and friendly staff made our short stay a real vacation!

Ben Strobel

The hotel is in a very nice location, on a quiet edge of the city tigaki, but only 5 min of walking to the strip. It’s right next to the salt lake and also close to the beach. The service was really excellent and the pool was great. The rooms were good, but the smell wasn’t too nice after cleaning especially. The breakfast was nice with some local goods and the poolbar was also good. The atmosphere was fitting for family’s and also couples and it over all the hotel had a really nice traditional Greek charm. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a typical greek experience with a good location and a reasonable price!

Ian Berry

Excellent 2 week stay in September 23. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. Pool and pool bar great. Food was very good. Lady behind bar was very nice. Had an issue with the air con, they tried to fix it but couldn't so swapped our room. Breakfast was decent, not sure what some people expect. We were in main block and had a lovely pool/mountain view as well as salt lake. Shower was over the bath and quite tight, but it was manageable. Great location, nice and quiet but near everything. No complaints at all

Anna Yashchyshyna

Wi-Fi in the rooms is not available. If you need to connect or make a call you have to go outside of your room closer to reception. But this was not the worst part. The worst part was how the personnel treated me when I told them about the problem. One of the managers told me: - that Wi-Fi was absent on the island, not only in my room (not true, because at reception it worked perfectly at any time) - that they do not have to provide Wi-Fi to the guests and that the guests should be happy that the hotel does it free of charge, because they could have charged the guests for Wi-Fi additionally - I asked to check my cancellation conditions but she told me to feel free to go to another hotel and that they will not refund anything although it was just my arrival day and she could have checked the options for early cancellation. This woman was just bullying me and obviously enjoying the process. The other two staff members on reception were hiding their eyes from embarrassment while listening to her. This situation ruined my impression from the hotel and unfortunately from the country in general (this was my first time in Greece, my first impression). It was such a contrast to the way I was treated in Turkiye in the hotels/restaurants just a couple of days before. I can't believe that such a rude treatment and unprofessionalism is allowed in the service sector.

Tim Thulmann

It feels like 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hotel, it wouldnt need a complete rework, the doors, drains and corners are really nasty sometimes... but nothing that actually disturbs you. Very big Pool with very few guests in it, for the prices DEFINITELY a RECOMMENDATION

T K

Rooms very old fashioned, but spacious and cleaned every day. Reception men very friendly and helpful. Pool bar lady very nice. Give tips straight to her not via credit card. Learned that boss will take tips then. Poor breakfast, cold eggs, bacon and other stuff which should have been hot. When stated out to personnel they ignored it. Got ill to stomach. Using gym clothing to work - not giving professional image. Cleaning floors while guests eating. Nice location close to beach and town.

Lynne Haslam

This hotel is straight on the harbour front. The staff are so friendly and helpful. When we arrived the guy on reception told us everything we needed to know. Breakfast could be a bit better,could do with a toaster. Rooms are clean and nice just 1 thing. We only had 1 plug socket in the room so made things difficult when we wanted to charge both phones and use my hairdryer. Pool. Doesn't open till 10am to me is a little late I like to relax by the pool after breakfast but had to go to our room for an hour. Don't expect the Ritz but you will have a great holiday .

Gucci manor boutique Polokwane

Unfortunately very old rooms(bath taps are rusted and old),carpets in hallways need Serious Attention,breakfast not bad..machine coffee delicious..(sad that pool closes at 6pm,the best part of the day)not worth price for standard of rooms

Dan Kelly

Just relaxing after a long drive from Pamukkale to Bodrum. Quick ferry across to that very Greek laid back friendly style.

Premier Cleaning

Not bad at all for a 3 star hotel. Right across from the port. Lots of beggers near just take caution but is ok otherwise.

Harty 8433

Very run down hotel. Pool had lots of broken tiles around the outside very dangerous and full of weeds. 1 shower by the pool which was the only standing shower in the whole hotel. Constantly moaned at for having cans brought from the shop next to the pool. Only good thing is that due to the small size of hotel pool was quiet. No shallow end in the pool. Not aloud to use hotel towels out by pool and no pool towels offered so make sure you bring your own. Rooms very poor. Beds were like sleeping on a rock. Found out on night 3 you can ask for a matress topper which consisted of them putting a sun lounger pad on the bed to slightly soften it. Need to pay 10 euro a night for the pleasure of being able to use air con in the room! Our bathroom had a broken light although fixed next day dont see how this was missed. Lime scale on all the taps and all worn. Shower was a joke you have to hold the hose to wash yourself and stand in a tiny tray whole room floods. Drains were not great and smelt, mold everywhere in the bathroom to. Rooms not cleaned every day. Towels on rashens cleaners kept taking them and not giving us fresh ones so left multiple times with no towels. Breakfast consisted of bread, meats (ham and salami) cheese and some jams. A couple cereals and some attempt of fruit that was there the whole week we were. No hot food and extremely basic for a breakfast. If you was lucky you may get one of the few tiny pastries that were served. Only good thing was the hotel was across the road from a shop so did not have to go far for food. And only a 5 min walk to the beach.

Just returned home a few hours ago. Rooms They're older than me. With more than a few loose tiles, many 'fixes' and generally in need of some TLC. Beds They're not the worst we've slept in, improved greatly with better pillows. The bedding was clean. Balcony Spacious and lovely morning sunshine. Furniture was lacking with 1 of the chairs provided broken. Bathroom The toilet was hard to use, it was either filling constantly or just slow to flush at all. Breakfast Fine if you're used to instant coffee. We just walked further for for a delightful coffee with a view of the sea. Pool Towels on beds before 7am then rarely used. The deepest pool I've ever experienced. Overall, the room was all we needed as we're not interested in staying by the pool or at the hotel while on holiday.

Great location near Kos Town. Supermarket 2 mins walk away. Beach about 5 mins. Fabulous pool, although there is no shallow end. Grass around in need of a cut and paving needs weeding! Some rooms have been renovated (superior) and are apparently very good. We stayed in a standard room and having done 2* hotels (Iris hotel 3*) in Kos and numerous other islands we sadly found this below standard. Shower not working properly ie water mainly coming from tap and a cold dribble from shower head, we had to sit under tap to wash.....sheets and towels not changed unless asked for, we don't like to make a fuss so tbf we probably didn't relay our concerns. Breakfast ok but same limited choice daily, ran out of honey on our last day 😢 Good food at the pool bar. Potentially lovely hotel but in need of some love ❤️

Fernanda Costa

I was very excited for this stay, however I was quite disappointed with the total lack of wifi in the room (there was one bar of service if standing out on the balcony). Staff said they couldn't help at all and wifi is available in public areas which isn't ideal when you just want to lay back and chill for a couple of hours in private, not being chewed up by moskitos. The general cleanliness isn't the best (esp. bathroom). Bathroom hasn’t got a shower curtain so spray goes everywhere. The room does smell nice though.

Food The food in the hotel bar was fab. Portions are big and the prices are fair. The breakfast that’s included is basic and continental - toast/rolls, ham, cheese, butter, jam, cereal, milk, yogurt. There was fruit at the start but for the last few days there was none. We got bored of the included breakfast as it was the same thing every day so we ate in the bar instead. Location The hotel is located beside a supermarket that has everything you need. Only a few steps to the nearest pebbly beach and a few minutes from bars and restaurants. There is a bus to kos town that runs twice in the hour but we used the electric scooters instead. Staff The reception staff, the breakfast ladies, bar staff and the cleaners work very hard. They’re all friendly and very welcoming. Our room was not swept at all throughout our 2 week stay which was a bit of a bummer. But overall the beds were made daily and if we needed new towels you leave them on the floor. We had an issue with our tap and we notified the reception and it was fixed while we were out. The family is very friendly and genuinely work hard to make you feel welcomed and well fed. Grounds The pool area is a big big let down. The pool is ridiculously deep - the shallow part is 1.20m and the deepest is 3.20m which I would note if you are planning to travel with children who may not be able to swim. There is no lifeguard. There is no kids pool. There is also sunbed warriors that put towels on sunbeds even at 7am even though it is stated by the pool that no towels on sunbeds before 8am.

Diana Gibbons

Markos, Greg, Dmitry and sorry I can't remember the other gentleman's name were great, they couldn't do enough for you. Had a great selection for breakfast, food and drinks were good. The rooms were cleaned every day, the shower was good had a choice of shower heads, always plenty of hot water. I will be going back to these apartments.

Mo Ingram

Booked this hotel last minute. Wad a bit worried about reviews saying it was 24hr party. We had the best week staff could not do enough for us . Hotel very clean and modern rooms and just 2min walk to bars tavernas and sea front .

Victoria Wood

Origin absolutely made our holiday. It's a small hotel. All the staff are amazing - they made an effort to learn our names, made a fuss of our (severely affected by learning difficulties) daughter to make her feel welcome. Our rooms were basic but clean. The small pool was always clean, and contrary to another review, you do not need to pay for sunbeds or air conditioning. The bar is always open and can be noisy in the evenings and into the early hours but it didn't keep me awake. Kardamena is a lovely little resort, this hotel is positioned to have easy access to it all. Would highly recommend to anyone that doesn't mind the noise from the bar.

Neicey Farr

If you love banging music coming through the wall at 4am, this hotel is for you. We were given the duplex suite to the left of the bar (and music system). We recorded 87 decibels through the wall at all hours after midnight. This hotel is open to all residents on the island and stays open later than anywhere else, therefore attracts lots and lots of party goers. Can’t say anything negative about the hotel other than we had 10 nights of hell. Manager refused to move us but said we could swap rooms with our grown up children as they probably wouldn’t mind the noise! TUI were an absolute joke and refused to intervene but offered us £75 for any inconvenience. Absolute nightmare holiday.

Rodman's Rights

if you are looking for a quiet hotel AVOID! The rooms were ok at best, the shower was not great. Upon arrival we were greeted by an almost naked girl who offered us a shot of god knows what. you could hear the thumping loud music 24 hrs a day. 50 euros for the air conditioning, 50 euros for a safe you can open with a potato ( watch it on youtube in not joking) 25 euros to use a sun lounger next to the pool a day! The owner was rude and nasty. absolutely no need to be that way in front of people who pay good money. Thankfully we found much nicer places to go on the island and only had to stay there to sleep. Kos itself is a beautiful place, Origins hotel sadly isn't. Far from it. If the owner was a nice person it would have been a higher rating. When we were there someone obviously thumped him as he had a corker of a black eye half way through our holiday. Pity, it had such potential. The lad who ran the nights was fantastic a true gentleman. The owner should take a leaf out of his book. We will be visiting kos again but we wont be staying at origins.
