Apart from the trek up and down the steep drive (you do get used to it), I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Karpathios. I went mid October so it wasn’t busy, had plenty of the poolside all to myself. The pool bar is decent and serves good food and good cocktails.
The rooms are quite traditional, basic wet room where you have to make sure you move the toilet roll when using the shower, basic kitchen facilities but I wasn’t there to stay in my room and cook. I really enjoyed my stay, the grounds are pretty and have absolute stunning views from the balconies. I am planning on staying there again. Literally takes a few minutes to walk to the shops, restaurants and bars and 10 to the beach. I also stayed there alone and was made to feel so welcome, I really did feel safe.

Lovely stay

Just back from a fabulous 10 day holiday.
Loved Karpathios & will give you the pro's & con's as I see them to help you decide whether it is for you.

PRO'S
Traditional. Very laid back, chilled hotel. Lovely staff. Hardly anyone round the pool on sunbeds in October. Fabulous location with a sea view & huge picturesque mountain in background. Amazing sunsets every night. Great central location at the bottom of 'cardiac hill'. 5 mins walk to restaurants. Fantastic balcony and beautiful sea view from the 1st floor. Quite location.

CON'S
Beware! This hotel is up a VERY STEEP slope. Having to drag your suitcase up without help is hard work. This hotel is not for you if you suffer mobility issues. No lifts.

Rooms are very basic. No TV but the 1st floor rooms have no wardrobe (just a swinging piece of rope) & no drawers to put anything in. Bathroom is more of a wet room. The toilet and toilet roll get a soaking too! Small room & more basic than we've probably ever had in Greece.

However, taking everything into account and for the price we paid ... it was great! :) And in Pefkos you are able to go to other hotels and use their pools. We loved a couple of afternoons spent on four poster beds at Pefkos Blue.

Would I return .... YES! 

Basic but loved it! :)

A wonderful 2 week stay in a very typical Greek hotel with a lovely charm.Excellent staff, nothing too much trouble spotlessly clean & great breakfast snacks for  lunch & a great bar service x Fantastic views from all rooms Sure we will be back,very happy time 

Perfect Greek accomodation

Arriving at 2.30am....it's still quite a shock, despite the warnings the first time you tackle the mini-Everest that is the driveway after being dropped at the bottom. To be fair, there is plenty of information on this in advance, but I'd strongly advise anyone with mobility issues to think carefully before booking.
Now that's the one negative; this little studio hotel is a gem...we had a room right on the corner with panoramic views from the balcony over the village and the bay. In saying that, most of the rooms seem to be well placed for the view.
Set your expectations before you arrive, this is no 5 star all inclusive resort but at the price we paid it was outstanding value, our room was clean with all the amenities promised, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the pool and bar area were more than adequate with the same fabulous views.
It's a short 10 minute walk (exhausting 15 minute return) down to the main bars, restaurants and shops are and despite growing organically over the years Pefkos still holds it's charm. 
Big shout out to Fuse Bar on the beach road...well worth a visit or two.
We will definitely return.

One negative...loads of positives!

Just got home from a wonderful stay here. OK so the rooms are basic and a bit tired but typically Greek and cute and quirky and let's be honest how much time do you spend in your room. The pool area was fab and the views amazing from our balcony and the balcony was a great size. The location is fantastic with a 5 minute walk to the main drag and 10 mins to the most beautiful beach. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to return. Pefkos has the most wonderful restaurants to choose from and we had the most incredible meals. Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️ 

Wonderful 

The room was dirty, Cutlery rusty, No cupboards wardrobes or draws just rope holding a stick with hangers on it. No hob, Dirty toaster, 2 stars not even a 1 star. The doors and windows are falling apart with rot, Having said all that the Jet2 rep moved us to a slightly better room it was still not up to much we did however have draws to put things in. Would I stay again not even if you paid me. Jet2 need to drop Karpathios Studios as it's not doing you any favours.

Room is just a dirty mess.

I will start with the Bad:

Apartments are at the top of a fairly steep hill, so if you have mobility or fitness issues seriously consider staying here.
We stayed in one of the smaller rooms at the top of the block, these had no real storage and the bathroom was small, showering right next to the toilet made me a touch uncomfortable!
I did see one of the 3 bedroom apartments and these were larger with better bathrooms.
Air conditioning and safe boxes are an extra charge, we didn't feel the need for either however although some nights did get hot even with open windows.

Then the Good:
We had a huge balcony with incredible views, for the money we paid it was incredible, the walk up that hill does make for great views.
Rooms were very clean, cleaners came in every day.
Snacks and drinks at the bar were reasonably priced, the beer in particular was excellent served in iced glasses that kept them cold for ages.
The set back location meant you were only a short walk into the main strip of restaurants but away from the noise.
Pool area was a pleasant place to be, which was good because sunbed prices have gone crazy on the beaches 25 and 20 Euros for 2 beds a day in Pefkos and Lindos is much worse!

Then the Great:
Nikos who works the bar and reception in the day time is an absolute star and is solely responsible for turning my 3 star review into a 4 star review, he was friendly, welcoming, generous and very good at his job - he deserves a raise!!

Nikos makes the difference!

Spent a week here with my partner & really loved it. The views are amazing, the apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The decor is quirky & fun, I loved it but it may not be everyone's taste. The location is great, walking distance to everything in Pefkos including the beaches, or a bus ride to Lindos. There is a bit of a hill to walk up to the apartments, so if you have mobility issues this might be an issue, however if you are fit & healthy it should not be a problem. I would highly recommend this place, especially at the price- an absolute bargain. 

Quirky & fantastic value

We came home yesterday and felt we had to write a review, We booked this for a last minute week away and we were very impressed with this little place.
It is up a hill and the driveway is very steep especially with a suitcase however it did get easier as the week went on .It is so central to everything just a short walk down some steps into the main street .The views are absolutely stunning of the whole resort and well worth the steep drive.
The room itself was a decent size with a raised platform bed and a huge balcony /terrace area with quirky shabby chic decor .The hotel is immaculate throughout it clearly shows it is well looked after and maintained .
The pool is large with more than plenty of sunbeds with a well equipped snack bar serving food until 5 pm .
It is in an ideal position for both views and location. 

Beautiful views 

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for a week, we booked it quite last minute as it was quite cheap in a location we wanted to visit. 

We arrived in the early hours of the morning and were faced with a very steep driveway. A lot of reviews do mention this, but you don’t realise the extent of it until you are there. This is quite challenging to walk up every single day in the heat, but you do get used to it as time goes on and it is not a huge problem. We walked up the hill and had a couple of drinks, even though it was late.

Our room was very simple, we had to pay £10 per night for Air-con, but this was worth it. The beds are not the comfiest, but the room is quite charming in its own way and it has everything you need if you don’t plan to spend a lot of time in the room. We did have breakfast included and it was very basic, but it was all we needed.

The view from the balcony and the whole hotel is stunning. The pool is nice and it was never overly busy, we could always get a sun-bed with no worry. Pefkos town is also nice, it’s quite small but still has a lot of choice of food and drink. The beach is not the best, but there are smaller bays that you can visit rather than the main beach. There are buses to Lindos and Rhodes Town everyday frequently. There are lots of nice restaurants and bars closeby to the hotel - our favourites were Happy friends, Greek Story, Nostalgia Bambooze and Taverna To Kamapiko in Lindos. 

The barmen definitely need a special mention. They went above and beyond for us all week and always seem to be in high spirits. Everyone staying in the hotel was very friendly and the whole place just felt welcoming and homely. This was the same with most places we went - staff are very attentive and make an effort to make sure you have everything you need. The bar is cash only, so make sure you have some. Most of the restaurants will take card, but prefer cash. 

Overall, this place is not a fancy hotel, but it is local, friendly and a lot more cultural than your usual 5-star resort. We definitely will return at some point in the future. We loved our stay. 🐈‍⬛🇬🇷🌺😁
