Top Kefalonia Hotel Reviews

Emelisse Nature Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent in every respect - parking arrangements need to be a little clearer before arrival."

White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, relatively small but with great service and views. We just went B&B, and there were plenty of decent restaurants in Lassi, only a 10 min walk away. Beware though, there are steps wherever you need to go within the hotel grounds so not ideal if you are not too mobile."

Kefalonia Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Seriously, what can I say? Fabulous hotel with a beautiful location and amazing staff. we stayed for 10 nights in a sea view room, gorgeous view and great to sit on the balcony in the morning and evening , we had amazing breakfast every morning with wonderful, helpful staff, after 2 days they knew our coffee order without asking. All of the staff were lovely and so helpful. The reception staff , Angelika, Cassandra and Georgia were second to none. very informative and we were always greeted with a smile. There needs to be a special mention to Georgia. We discussed our day with her every evening, she gave us great recommendations for restaurants. We have left making a new friend in Kefalonia. She made everyone feel noticed. Thank you Grand Hotel , we will be back for sure ."

Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Situated near the airport, the hotel/resort is easy to get to. The hotel will arrange airport transport for a small fee. It is well staffed and exceptionally clean. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is on the ocean with access to a nice nearby beach. Several economical restaurants are within 2-3 minutes walk. Rental cars are available at the property (requiring international driving license) and are a must for seeing the area and the island. There are no shuttles to nearby towns or other parts of the island, so the rental car is the way to go. The restaurant food is very good, as is the free breakfast. The only "down side" would be the for the breakfast buffet where food was not replaced for long periods, example fried eggs and other items went empty for a while before they were refreshed. Other than that the place is really nice."

Ionian Treasure Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Was a wonderful place, handy to airport and Pasada port."

Sami Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The place had everything for comfortable stay. The only thing they could improve is is they could provide onsite restaurant though I understand it may not be viable for the owners. We had excellent stay at the Sami beach hotel."

Meliti Waterfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Waterfront and pool great location amazing apartment with a wash machine. Got to wash our clothes at no charge. Friendly staff."

Tetra Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"My gf and I went and it was great, the main pool was practically free most of the time due to the personal pools most rooms had. The room pool it’s self was lovely and a nice size, although if you get too close to the edge you can see/are visible to other rooms as the walls either side ends. Each morning you get a lovely breakfast basket of bread/pastries and then select your main dish from the menu. Really enjoyed!"

F ZEEN KEFALONIA - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel with fabulous facilities. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast were very nice in the Selini Restaurant, lunch is the Gaia also very good. Dinner in the Gaia offered a wide selection of options however the Selini could have offered more choice including a fresh grilled fish dish. I would definitely stay there again if I was to return to Kefalonia."
