Avis Guest House Kiko

Appartement avec une superbe vue surplombant la mer. L'état général de l'appartement est moyen, la salle de bain a été remise à neuf et on a bien dormi. Pour nous l'essentiel était là.

Location was amazing, the air con worked well and bed was comfortable. Room was dated however, especially the bathroom, the shower did not affix to the wall due to a broken socket, many of the lights did not function. The bathroom had a terrible smell.

I booked an apartment with a balcony, double bed, a refrigerator, and kitchen. What I got was a balcony, four twin beds, a bathroom that wasn’t in my room, and no kitchen. When I checked in and told the owner that I booked a room with a kitchen, he said that there’s no kitchen and kept trying to tell me I could have dinner (grilled fish or steak, fries, vegetables, and salad) for €20. I was about to pull up my booking information to show him about the kitchen, and then he said I could have dinner for free and that it was his / the booking system’s mistake. The meal was fine but I would’ve chosen a cheaper room and eaten elsewhere. I also said I needed a refrigerator for my food, and he said he’ll take it and keep it in the kitchen fridge. The room wasn’t very clean. There was a dead cockroach under one of the pillows, and there were bugs on the ceiling including spiders and another creature I do not know, one of which fell into my laptop while I was working. This happened in the evening after the restaurant already closed, and I tried messaging to change rooms or get the bugs taken care of but no response. I was quite uneasy throughout the night, and I did not have a great night's sleep. The doors to the balcony also did not close, and I had to move a bedside table over there to make sure it wouldn't creep open (and probably let in more bugs). Would not recommend. Friendly staff but that doesn’t change the quality nor cleanliness of the room.

The owner made us fresh fish on the grill one evening which was a lovely addition to our stay. Nice family run place. Nothing fancy, but perfect location and a great spot to explore the National Park.

Guest house Kiko is ok for a couple of nights. It is comfy enough and clean enough with good aircon. However, it was let down by it's dated interior and rude family members and owner of the guest house. Firstly, they took our passports to check us in and said they would return them straight away. An hour later we still hadn't had them back so went to find someone to ask for them. We couldn't find anyone on the property until we found an older lady who couldn't speak much English saying they'd be back in an hour (not ok). We called the contact number for the properly and different really rude ladies answered saying the owner would be back with our passports 'soon' (really not ok). We demanded for the owner to come back immediately with them and he came around 20 minutes later (very reluctantly) with them. This didn't make us feel comfortable at all, so do not leave your passports with them! We stayed the two nights as planned. But on the first morning the old lady spoke to us again demanding, very rudely our room key. There were no more incidents after this however, they need to understand that how they were treating guests did not make us feel welcome and very uncomfortable. There was one older man at the guest house who was very lovely and answered a few questions about the island we had. I hope they take this review in to account as it has potential to be a very lovely place to stay.

Very close to ferry port, nice host who explained me how to get around on the island, very close to some great fish restaurants...
