Nice hotel but inland from the sea front
The hotel is nice but about 1 Klm inland form the sea front. Diafani is a really small village and it would have been better to stay on the sea front The hotel owner was nice but tried to sell us extra night at the hotel when we were going to Pigadia

A fortnight in Diafani
Very friendly family-run hotel. Mr and Mrs Balaskas are extremely welcoming. They are full of ideas for walks, swims, boat trips and places to eat. Diafani is enchanting and very unspoiled by tourism while at the same time being well-equipped for it. One thing future visitors need to bear in mind is that there is no cash dispenser in Diafani so you need to make sure you have enough cash on you as it is an hour's boat journey to the nearest ATM!

Siamo stati una settimana presso l'hotel gestito a conduzione familiare. L'accoglienza è stata buona. La signora è molto gentile, disponibile e premurosa. La camera era pulita, con il necessario per il pernottamento. Consiglio di soggiornare presso io Balaskas hotel per poter apprezzare la tipica accoglienza greca.

Grazioso hotel vicino al mare.
Dopo un inizio non piacevole in quanto la strada dall'aereoporto all'hotel è terribile tutte curve tornanti, poi ci siamo trovati in un bel posto con spiagge e posti meravigliosi. Il paese purtroppo non offre le cose più essenziali tipo banche, uso di carte non accettato quasi da nessuno, farmacia o un super decente. Malgrado ciò abbiamo passato un bella vacanza. L'hotel è carino, pulito, una buona colazione e staff gentile e cordiale che organizza delle belle escursioni a piedi e in barca. Il posto è carino ma non ci sono divertimenti. La sera solo piccola passeggiata e cene tipiche nei locali sul mare. zona per rilassarsi fare relax e mare bello e pulito.

Piccolo hotel a gestione famigliare
IAbbiamo soggiornato per 10 gg in questo piccolo hotel a Diafani a conduzione famigliare , dove abbiamo trovato gentilezza ,cordialità da parte di tutti i suoi componenti padre, madre e figlio . Michalis preparava colazioni veramente buone e abbondanti con formaggio ,uova , miele ecc. Il papà Vasilis possiede una barca e con €10,00 a persona può portarti nelle spiagge più belle e poco raggiungibili in auto . Lo consiglio vivamente

À bannir
Apres 9 heures de ferry depuis Heraklion , arrivée vers 20:30 nous nous sommes retrouvés dans une chambre en sous sol qui ne correspondait en rien à celle réservées sur Hôtel. Com et avons été obligées de dormir là car rien d autre de disponible à Diafani; les hôteliers pratiquent de l overbooking et ont par ailleurs tenté de prélever l entier de la somme avant notre arrivée. Nous avons dû quitter cet hôtel précipitamment n ayant pu trouver un accord avec la logeuse; merci au service client d avoir tenté d intervenir mais sans succès.les hôteliers effacent les commentaires négatifs et nous recommandons vivement à hôtel.com de rayer cet hôtel de son répertoire!

Grazioso albergo a conduzione familiare
Perfetta! Accoglienza e cordialità Consiglio le escursioni in barca organizzate dal Balaskas hotel Colazione energica e buona Clima disteso e cordiale Il personale dell'albergo mette gli ospiti a proprio agio Lo consigliero ai miei amici e sicuramente ci tornerò Diafani è un piccolo paesino dove il tempo si è fermato e il Balskas hotel ne è la conferma Vacanza indimenticabile Il wi-fi a volte non prende La TV in camera non funzionava Ma non mi è mancata :-) Karpathos è famosa per il vento Basta quello a cullare le notti degli ospiti Il mio giudizio quello della mia amica e della coppa giovane che ha soggiornato al Balaskas durante il nostro stesso periodo, è unanime Voto 10!

hotel piacevole e confortevole. consiglio molto
Siamo arrivati in hotel in tre con una prenotazione, fatta da noi, sbagliata, ma Eugenia venendoci incontro con tutta la gentilezza e disponibilità ci ha sistemato nel migliore dei modi. Hotel confortevole. Gestito da due persone gentili e sempre disponibili a risolvere e soddisfare qualsiasi richiesta. Insomma Eugenia e Vasilis sembrano i genitori che ognuno di noi vorrebbe avere. Loro greci noi italiani.....una faccia una razza.

gentilezza ma anche pulizia
premesso che gli standard greci della pulizia sono tendenzialmente inferiori ai nostri ho trovato l'albergo piuttosto sporco, copriletto e tende ne sono stati un esempio. il cambio degli asciugamani soddisfacente a parte l'aver dimenticato il tappeto per il bagno e non avere, in 15 giorni mai lavato il pavimento. A parte questo sono molto gentili anche se non abbiamo usufruito di nessuno dei servizi aggiuntivi offertici ripetutamente.
