    No privacy at all for a couple considering that the there is a semitransparent glass while being in the toilet !!!!! (for the "cave" appartment of 2). I am not recommending the specific room.

    Breakfast was outstanding. Staff was polite and room was confy and super clean

    I feel that nothing can be improved.

    The breakfast was really great especially the bread and omelette and pie and coffee and fresh juice. Takis & Yiota were very friendly and helpful. Also Angeliki helped us in every way possible!

    It is exactly what we were looking for. No negatives.

    We really enjoyed the view from our room, especially in the daylight. The room is equipped with a fireplace. The silence of the village in the night. The breakfast is quite rich; it is cooked on the spot and served at your table. There is also a lovely terrace that you relax and enjoy the view. Tip: ask the hotel owners for any events during your stay. Events are organized in the hotel and in the village, in general. We attended a stargazing event the night of our stay.

    The room we stayed at is a really cozy cave-like one. The room itself was ideal for long after-hiking naps. The option of a total black out effect by the solid blinds, gave us the opportunity to sleep for more than 9h on the totally comfortable bed. Apart from the room, the hospitality and the staff is amazing, with Angeliki being the best and the most caring hostess we've ever met. Take a pair of hiking/sport shows with you, because a generous amount of well signed trails await for you to explore them. We will definitely go back.

    Minor stuff that would make this place amazing. In the rooms, extra items such as more toilet paper or tissues are needed. Some extra pillows for the bed would also be a good idea. The mini fridge and the cupboard have some basic items such as water, wine, chocolate etc. but these come with an additional, although not high, charge. There is a kettle, if you wish to have a cup of tea, but there are no spoons to stir the sugar. For the room price, I believe some free stuff would be more than welcome by the guests. As this village is somewhat secluded and there are only two options for food and drinks in the main square which is five minutes down the hill, and since the property comes with an amazing view, it would be great if there was an option to drink a coffee or have a glass of wine on the terrace later in the afternoon as well, but the kitchen is not open after breakfast (9-11.00 am). If you visit during summer, expect to find a lot of wasps which may turn your breakfast on the terrace into an adventure, even though the staff is using multiple natural solutions for this, but after the first attempt we decided to have our breakfast inside and the problem was solved. There is also the issue of bad soundproofing between the rooms, especially where the bathrooms are, but if you are lucky enough to have quiet neighbors this shouldn't be a problem. Not all rooms have a table and a chair on the balcony, as ours didn't, it would be great if we had a balcony for exclusive use, but this depends on the room type and availability.

    This is a fully renovated traditional building, the interior design is amazing, wood and stone everywhere, amazing views from the terrace, quiet and with extremely helpful staff. The breakfast was good, with local touches any type of coffee you wish, and it was served at the terrace. The bed was quite comfortable and there was also a smart tv in the room.

    The rooms are rather small, a space for the kettle or even a kitchen-like space in the rooms is absent. The tea bag costs 1.5Euro in the room, something that is not acceptable for a 150Euro room per night. If you travel with a transporter, approach Vamvakou from the northern side, do not use the road from the south since this is a tight road....

    The rooms are brand new, the staff comes uphill if something is not working (like in our case the heating system). Breakfast is tasty and the location is pretty cool - if you book here you want to be remote, and this is what you get. There is enough space also outside the rooms to hang around and play cards. The staff is warm and friendly, even invited us to come down to the main square to join them. Vamvakou is small, like, really small, and the people living there are among the friendliest we found during our trip.

    Angeliki is an excellent, very warm and kind hostess. The place is brand new, with a unique and appropriate for the specific location architecture and decoration. The room, Tsevoula, is beautiful, but only suitable for two. What makes Rouga unique, is its people: nice, warm, friendly, and welcoming.

    Soundproofing between the rooms was, well, leaky. Conversations from the adjacent room were easily discernible. For that price, I'd expect a coffee machine in the room.

    Exceptional accommodation, part of a wider renovation project for the village. Wonderful design throughout, with a jaw-dropping view from a picture window. Very good breakfast. Staff extremely helpful. The paths in the region starting from the village were very well maintained and signposted (and we were visiting off-season).

    The accommodation is wonderful! The rooms are beautifully decorated, there was very loving hospitality and a fantastic breakfast. A place to relax, hike, trail run or mountain bike. In the village was a very nice place to stay and the restaurants serve delicious Greek food. If you like a peace and quiet place, a cozy family atmosphere and the mountains, you are in really good hands there!

    Hospitality was poor. Breakfast was extremely poor. Especially when taking the high price into account. In the middle of nowhere. Too much money for such a room. Difficult to find and reach.
