Lofos Apartments Reviews

We really love this hotel. Maria and Georgio the owners are so very helpfull and nothing is too much trouble. Their staff are briliant. The hotel is situated in the perfect location for ourselves. We have eaten at the hotel on a number of occasions and the food is exalent. Both for evning meal, dinner and breakfast. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the beds and furnishings are very comfortable. Its almost midway between Hersonissos and Piskopiano. If you want the nightlife go down the hill to Hersonissos, and if you want a quieter time go up the hill to Piskopiano and Koutouloufari. Further down the road is Old Hersonissos Village. Ther are plenty of sunbeds around the pool, which is large enough to swim in comfortably. There are plenty of taxis and car, motobike hire places locally. Its only five minuets walk up hill to the local supermarkets. We have already booked for 2025 for three weeks. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone at the hotel, and the friends we have met over the years.

Beautiful Lofos ❤️ We have just come to the end of our 2 week stay in this amazing place. Where to start. We stayed 3 nights in a studio apartment which was beautiful and clean. Everything you could need is provided. We stayed bed and breakfast and would say this is the best place we've stayed in for breakfast. The choice is amazing. We then upgraded to a suite with own pool. Just wow! From the huge super king-size bed to the large pool this room was luxury. Plush sunbeds and beautiful outside furniture The suite was luxury and next year will definitely book from day one! The local tavernas bars restaurant are up the hill but well worth the 15 minute walk. You'll find everything great bars friendly people and amazing greek food. The lofos itself serves beautiful food and we ate in daily for lunch. The cocktails are gorgeous The biggest thank you to all staff here you have made our holiday perfect. Freindly, welcoming and the perfect hosts. We've been to many places in Greece but Lofos you have our ❤️ We will be back next May Thank you so much xxx Tracey and Mark xxx

We stayed for 10 days from 28th September 2024 and had the best holiday. The excellent reviews are so deserved. Maria is the most welcoming and gorgeous lady who instils a sense of calm and the need for you to relax and enjoy your holiday. All the staff are so friendly and make you feel very welcome and part of things. We stayed in a suite with a jacuzzi and then a suite with a pool for 3 days and loved every minute. The place is absolutely spotless. Lunches by the pool were so tasty (partner loved the salads). Maria sorted car hire for us and we spent 3 days exploring a small part of Crete. We fell in love with the island and we will be back. Thank you Maria and the team you are just perfect. Jo & Dom x

Had another wonderful holiday at Lofos. The staff cannot do enough for you. This time we had an apartment with a terrace, it was lovely to chat to people walking by while we were chilling. Just one request, our appt was for 2, and it would be lovely to change the indoor, square table for a small round one (less bruising when you walk past, especially at night)

We stayed for two weeks at The Lofos. We loved it. Our apartment was spotlessly clean as were all the communal areas and the grounds of the complex. Maria and George were so welcoming and every member of their team was just so lovely. Drinks and food were reasonably priced and of good quality. The pool is just the right size. There were just enough sunbeds when we were there. Some people put their towels on the same sunbeds every day but this didn't bother us too much as we didn't spend every day there. There were a lot of return guests and newbies like us too. We would highly recommend.

The ratings and reviews given to these apartments are fully justified based on the value, location and quality of the all round experience. The rooms and outside areas are as clean as we have ever seen, immaculate and tidy, a real credit to the staff and management team. The location is just perfect, being in the hub of many options offering laid back evenings or full on partying, all within 15-20 minutes walk but none affect the quiet and peaceful location of these apartments. The pool area is just about acceptable for space and beds, maybe at peak times it could get rather cramped but we never experienced too many issues with this. The facilities in the rooms were more than adequate and offered the option to eat in now and again if required, we never did, but can vouch for the items and cutlery etc available. All in all I can safely say the Lofos experience gave us our relaxing break in a quiet location that we were looking for. The only niggly reasons I never gave the full 5 stars, is purely down to a few minor issues...after arriving shattered at around 1.00am after a day of passes, forms and security ,we were made to fill in forms including employment details??..not sure what that's about...but why not wait until the next day perhaps? The buffet breakfast got some getting used to, the quality was bang average which is fine, but the tepid temperature of the hot food was not very appetizing, but I can say I did get to enjoy every breakfast so maybe that's just me!? The air con blew onto the top of a wardrobe in our room and the main unit was on the inside of the balcony, a bit of a pain sipping a cool evening drink with a turbo fan blowing on you from a foot away. As for the recent drinks payment issues we have seen on here, a similar thing actually happened to us when we were overcharged, albeit for 4 beers when we only had 2... hopefully, all of this is just random and coincidence, but we have not had this at any other hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here and Crete in general, but I will say many of the beaches are becoming commercialised and owned by hotel resort or sunbed dictators, a rea shame as the breaches are all relatively small. The airport is not really fit for purpose, so be ready for 1 hour waits for luggage at the conveyor belts. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Lofos Apartments to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in clean,safe surroundings, we felt it was very good value for the money...many return visitors which paints a picture!

we arrived at the lofos apartments really looking forward to our relaxing holiday. we went into our room and we liked what we saw, the shower was lovely and that was it really. the beds was hard.the best bit was the sunset from our balcony that was amazing. the next morning we was going out to the beach and we was stopped by one of the waitress to pay a bar bill, which we already had paid the night before, but she said we owed an outstanding bill for the drinks, i said we had paid .anyway she said ok no problems, but it did annoy me saying we hadn't paid for the drinks, so that put a damper on the holiday. i don't like being accused of something i hadn't done. you couldn't get a sun lounger round the pool because people were putting there towels on them and not coming back for hrs on end. didn't like that either. wouldn't come back.

Like the other reviews say this hotel is a special find. Warm friendly welcome from the beginning to the end. Genuine warmth from every person throughout our stay. Will definitely return. Thanks so much to all at Lofos apts. We will spread the word.

Arrived as friends. Left feeling sad. Our previous holiday was amazing, everything was pretty much perfect and my review was glowing. During our holiday in September 2023, there was some confusion re payment of a breakfast. We had a receipt so know it was paid. At the end of the special disco evening, we didn’t know about, we returned from our evening meal in the village, ordered some drinks and joined in the festivities, and had a really nice evening. When I went to pay the bill, I was charged for the breakfast as well, in my confusion I said we didn’t have breakfast instead of yes we had breakfast but we paid for it. The response from George was not very pleasant. We spent most of the rest of our holiday feeling very awkward, if it hadn’t been for the couples we were situated next to, our holiday would have been, to say the least, pretty unbearable. The atmosphere over the following days was very uncomfortable for us. We had booked to arrive on 27th September 2024, thinking this was a place we would return to many times. We felt we had made friends for life and had a connection with our love of the Greek language, and ongoing emails ( as friends ).The day we left was nothing like the previous time, again it was awkward and we left feeling very confused/sad. On our return home we transferred our deposit to another holiday. We regularly visit 4 other Greek hotels/apartments and do have friends going back over 20 years. Never left anything other than great reviews for our holiday accommodation. Still confused and sad. Cannot understand the change in all of the staff’s friendliness, apart from the cleaner, who was simply the best. ☹️

We had an incredible family holiday here and I can't recommend the apartments highly enough. The main reason for this is George (the boss) and Maria (the ACTUAL boss) who run the place and their amazing staff who are some of the loveliest people I have encountered on a holiday. From the moment we set foot on the property our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, always with a smile and so polite and funny to talk to. You really do feel like you leave as a friend like it says on the signage around the place. The facilities are great, the pool is not huge but is just the right size for the number of people staying there, it never felt crowded and they seem to also have just the right amount of sunbeds for everyone. All the public areas were kept clean and well maintained. There is a fairly big bar / eating area with various screens and they seem to have access to most sporting events, if you ask they will always try their best to find it for you anyway! All the food we had here was great and fairly priced, the gyros pita is really good as are the sandwiches, salads and burgers. The is an offering of a buffet breakfast which is 10 euro and is really good value if you want to fill up for the day. There is cereal, pastries, the usual hot items od sausages, eggs, bacon etc plus some different things that the cook there makes fresh every morning like cheese pies and omelettes. They also have cold cuts, cheese, bread and fruit as well as unlimited tea/coffee and fruit juices. If you book for a whole week you get a slight discount too. We had a one bedroomed apartment with a terrace area that had sea views. The main living area was huge (room 20) and has a hob, fridge, panini/toastie maker and ample crockery and cutlery should you need it. Unlike some Greek apartments we have stayed in the bathroom was nicely decorated and had a shower that did not flood the entire room which was nice! The bedroom had two single beds, a dressing table and some drawers for storage with a wardrobe in the main living room. My one slight criticism is that it would be good to have an air con unit in the bedroom as well as the living room but we just kept the door open and it wasn't a big issue, probably the only way things could be any better here to be honest, can't think of anything else that could be improved. As I said at the start the main advantage these apartments have over others I have stayed at is the owners and staff. I spoke to Maria a few times to tell her how impressed I was with this and she is so humble and always turned it back on me saying it's the lovely guests that make the place. They treat the staff well and it shows, they are all happy and smiling all the time and you genuinely feel like they can't do enough for you. It really is a huge part of the stay here that everyone is so nice and it just makes for an extra special holiday. Just a quick note on the area, if you don't mind a short hill walk it's ideal. The apartments are between Hersoniss

Wow! What can i say, owners Maria and George give you such a warm welcome, the staff are amazing aswell, nothing is too much trouble. Spotless place, lovely and chilled, amazing views, deffo recomend, will be back. Ideally situated between other villages.

This is a real gem of a place. The welcome on arrival from the owners and staff is wonderful. I don't think I have ever experienced a hotel with such a friendly vibe. We stayed in one of the new suites with private pool and it was superb. Faultless in every way. Really comfortable and the pool and loungers were fantastic. The food is good and the buffet breakfast (though basic) is more than adequate. An absolutely delightful experience and I would have no hesitation on recommending this hotel

From the second we arrived we were greeted off the bus at midnight by the owner an lovely staff. We had a amazing view of the sea an mountains from our room in room 24. Although it was over the bar it was fine as a very quiet complex. Loads of lovely restaurants just up the hill we went to every night an stunning beaches at either sides of the main stretch of hersonnissos. I am sure we will return.

Absolutely amazing!!! Maria,George and all the staff went out of their way to make you feel so welcome from the moment you step off the coach to leaving to go back home. We had one of the new suites for 2024 with our own jacuzzi, pure luxury, with the most comfiest bed we have ever slept in. The food was delicious and really good value. Can’t wait to return, hopefully with one of the pool suites. Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday
