Galaxy Villas

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Galaxy Villas, we both had a really enjoyable and memorable stay, we'll definitely visit again. We first visited Koutoulaufari in September 2023 and fell in love with such a beautiful, authentic Greek village. We decided to stay at Galaxy Villas and we weren't disappointed, our villa was a sea view, so quiet and quintessential Greek. Our stay was for 5 nights to celebrate my Husband's birthday. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Thank you once again!!

This place is awful it’s like a hostel not a hotel our rooms were gross mouldy walls and ceilings, stunk of damp , the beds were damp and the ceilings leak when it rains, very outdated , I don’t think the floors had been swept for weeks I had to ask the cleaner for a sweeping brush , the manager wasn’t very helpful he was to busy doing shots and perving around a group of young girls

Staff members very welcoming and professional. Pool is extremely steep, leaving only about 2 meters for those who don't swim, otherwise it goes down to 2,60 mt. Sunbeds and sun umbrellas are a little worn, should be replaced. Breakfast could have more variety of food, but overall it was good.

What a gem of a hotel! We struck lucky in having an unseasonably warm week right at the end of the season, which meant that there was glorious weather with relatively few people around, so please read the comments below in this context. The hotel is in the village of Koutouloufari, set above the resort of Hersonissos, which is a 1km walk down the hill (and obviously 1km uphill from sea level, though you can get a taxi for this short journey if you don’t want to walk). Our “villa” was a split-level maisonette, which was spacious and grew on us the more time we spent there. I had previously seen various reviews stating that the accommodation needs refurbishment. I disagree – the lack of modern décor etc is part of the charm of the place. Yes, it’s basic – stone floors, wooden shutters, simple furnishings – traditional Greek accommodation. I agree with others that the beds are on the hard side, though I also got used to that during the week. Ask for extra pillows. The site is beautiful. The villas are scattered down the hillside, surrounded by mature trees and plants which give natural shade and places for children to explore. This necessitates steps, so if steps are an issue you need to request a room near the reception. The pool is fabulous and in this “low season” there were plenty of sunbeds on the terraces – if the hotel was anywhere near full occupancy, I think this would be much more problematic, though there are other areas in the gardens to enjoy the sun. There are also some wonderful bean bag seats, which are mega comfortable for napping in the sun. There’s a small children’s pool to the side, but the main pool is pretty deep, which is great if you’re happy being mainly out of your depth (we were!). It’s so refreshing! There were some lilos available for general use when we were there. The kitchen in the villa was basic, but functional. There was a two-ring hob, over a basic grill oven, plus a decent fridge, with freezer compartment, and an electric kettle and sink. Kitchen accessories provided were one small saucepan, one deeper saucepan (eg. for pasta), one frying pan, bowls, small plates, large plates, cutlery, grater, squeezer, ice cube tray, filter coffee holder, a fruit bowl, a ladle, a bread knife, a fish slice, a very small sieve and a corkscrew / bottle opener. I would suggest that anyone wanting to do any sort of self-catering should bring or be prepared to buy a kitchen / paring knife or two, scissors, washing up liquid / cloths / sponge, drying up cloth, kitchen roll, condiments (salt / pepper) and food containers / package sealers. You don’t need to use the kitchen at all though, as there are plenty of places to eat / buy food in Koutouloufari. The hotel provides a buffet breakfast at 10 euros per person and there’s a menu of lots of other food during the day – we loved the fries and the tzatziki for a lunchtime snack. We didn’t see anyone eating an evening meal at the hotel, but I suspect that was becaus

I feel impelled to comment on my stay at in the beautiful village of Koutoulafari. What can I say! Apart from thanks to everyone for such an amazing time away from home whilst being made to feel at home. You guys really are the best and I know we’ll meet again in the future

Had a truly dreadful experience which could have easily spoiled our holiday. The accommodation is in need of a serious update and the service we received from reception was atrocious. The moment we arrived we had no hot water. We were sent to another room at the opposite side of the complex but there was no hot water there either.The reception wouldn't leave their desk to investigate as they were too busy watching TV or playing with their phones. Eventually we were moved to an apartment that had hot water two days later. Our apartment had a sea view but the thing you noticed wasn't the sea but the howl of dogs/puppies in the morning which went on for hours in a nearby house. The pool area needed a good clean as did the sunbeds and most of the public areas. The star rating didn't reflect the condition and compared to similar complexes nearby it was very poor. The whole thing was compounded by the service from reception which was wholly inadequate. We asked to keep our room on via email before we flew and again when we got to the resort but we never heard a thing so made other arrangements. The resort is fantastic but this place lets the side down. We will return to the resort but never go back here. Spend some money on an upgrade and a deep clean.

Clean and spacious apartments in a great location close to the centre of the village with many restaurants and bars within a few hundred metres. Helpful staff and nice pool area. Weather for mid/late October was fantastic
