it pains me to say that it could be cleaner. The room is clean but the cooking area and the taps and sinks need a deep clean. if that was done it would be amazing.

this is a unique place. it is a very old house with a lovely pool. The breakfasts are different. Lots of go remade cakes and homemade croissants. The owners are delightful and very very hospitable. It Is also very close to the front but far enough away from the hustle and bustle.

Everything was perfect.

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at — anywhere in the world. A lovely old house. Fabulous pool. Beautiful garden. Five minutes walk from the waterfront. Blissfully quiet. Great breakfast (home-made croissants in Greece!) But it was the care and help of the staff that was particularly outstanding. I had injured my knee badly travelling to the island, and could barely walk for the first couple of days. The proprietor and his son were extremely solicitous, even bringing me food at night because I could not go out to eat. Thank you Kyrios Antonis and Giorgos. I can;t wait to come back!

it was surface clean but not deep cleaned. No cooking facility but did have a few plates and bits for preparing lunch etc. Breakfast was Quirky with lots of homemade cakes on offer! Bit hit and miss with crockery,cups, glasses,hot water being available and didn't like to keep asking the lovely owner. found it easier to make tea in my room and bring it to breakfst with me)

Swimming pool was lovely, rooms were large. Lovely location with trees and shrubs around the pool. Owner friendly and kind. Homemade cakes for breakfast!. Peaceful location but convenient for main town also. Ate breakfast on the terrace all together at one table which added a nice dimension to meeting other travellers and my children to meet guests from other countries. Tea coffee making families and fridge in room

Nothing negative to say.

A lovely hotel with a nice pool. Very helpful and friendly owners, a decent breakfast. Short distance to the harbour and town center. This was my second stay here and I can recommend the place. Much nicer than a three star hotel by the harbour where I have stayed, too.

Nothing! The whole place was amazing!

Villa Melina is one of the most beautiful and interesting places I have ever stayed. Even before we arrived and we had asked for directions, the gentleman I spoke to knew exactly where it was and described it as a "castle". Walking through the huge iron doorway I was immediately transported back in time and felt like I was in an episode of The Durrell's. The grand stone stairway entrance and stunning exterior were amazing. Inside, the hosts could not have been more attentive. They very kindly gave us a free upgrade which was unexpected and most welcome. The rooms were clean, comfortable, quirky and quaint with no two the same. The icing on the cake was the huge balcony with breathtaking views across the bay to the impressive mountaintop monastery. I doubt you will find a more stunning view anywhere on the island. I would definitely recommend a trip to this gorgeous island and I would urge you to book a room at Villa Melina. I am planning my next trip back as soon as possible.

No vaccum so it was very dusty. Air cond was not providing enough power so I was cold.

Antonis is the soul of this old villa. Very nice interaction. Very convenient, they propose laundry service.

Breakfast was awesome! The owner's son bakes some cakes/cinnamon rolls/other goodie fresh daily. The owner is very friendly, the pool is clean, the rooms are spacious and well equipped, good wifi. Child friendly hotel.

There is nothing to.complain.

Very good and variable breakfast, relaxed atmosphere in a nice garden and a beautifull pool, very good WLAN. Antonios and his family are the excellent and very friemdly owners of Viila Melina. Very good location, incredibly friendly and hospital people all over this Island, good beaches and an interesting history.

It can be tricky to get to the hotel with a car, since the roads are really narrow and like a maze. The place was clean, but we had a couple encounters with cockroaches. A couple of times we saw ants on the breakfast table. The A/C was quite loud.

Great breakfast, homemade. Spacious rooms with authentic feel. Friendly, accommodating hosts. Good location. Great value for money.

Didn't get to see much of our hoast as there was building maintenance going on while we were there, no access to swimming pool and no breakfast available.

Location and beautiful building

Stayed in April 2024

The breakfast ran out on our first day. The hotel was a little dirty and the mattresses were very old. The beds squeaked everytime you turned over. The shower head kept on falling off and the toilet didn't stop flushing. The aircon wasnt particularly strong either. It was ok...

The place was quaint and the pool was lovely. The location was quite good. The breakfast was provided and was made on site, so while it was delicious it was a little hit and miss.

Stayed in September 2023

In our arrival we found used towels in the bathroom from the previous guests. Probably they forgot to check the dirty towel bin. The public areas were abandoned. Not cleaned. Breakfast wasn't good enough. I appreciated the homemade carrot cake and cinnamon rolls. But that's it. 08.30 (that breakfast starts) its late for breakfast and even at 9 they weren't totally ready. Tongs to serve your plate, nowhere. Its a pity to have such a classic building and dont make it work properly.

The room was good. Big for family. In front of the pool. The bathroom was renovated and that's super good. AC was working good. Pool was nice.

 It should have been much more clean.  Especially the general toilet downstairs.

Nice and authentic property with a nice location in Kalymnos. We loved spending time by the pool when we  were not exploring the island. The owner Anthoni was very helpful and friendly.

The rooms are totally dirty, as if nobody had ever vacuumed them. The bathroom is partially moldy and all fittings are rusty. All walls had water damage. Actually you don't want to touch anything because everything is so dirty and sticky. There is no balcony as described. The location is also a bit outside of the city center. You have to go up the hill through a dark street, past many seemingly homeless people, barracks and overflowing garbage cans. We didn't eat breakfast, obviously - when the rooms look like this, you don't even want to know what the kitchen might look like.

Everything looked nice at first, unfortunately only from the outside. The house itself is beautiful, and the hosts are friendly too. But that's it.

-Inadequate pool sofa beds -poor breakfast choice and presentation -hotel family owners using guest facilities, tables, chairs, tv -superior double room was on third floor and 48 steps to climb - bathroom had broken tiles, broken shower door

Nice large pool

It's rather run down, which is a shame because it could be so much better with some tlc. The room wasn't cleaned properly (rug clearly not vacuumed in a while, hair in the shower plug, so after that I tried not to look too closely...). We've often stayed in other two-star hotels, with many that were impeccable, but this one was a disappointment. The wind blowing down the chimney stack, the doors, shutters and everything else rattling all night were not particularly helpful. Thankfully it was only a one-night stop-over.

Not far from the ferry port. Nice looking characterful building from the outside.

Stayed in October 2022

The kitchen facilities were very poor and the kitchen itself very small. I cook everywhere I go (I travel all of Greece for work) but it was difficult to even make pancakes there - thank God I carry a lot of things myself for situations like this. Also, The building is old and I think ready for a renovation. Last, the rate of the room was not in line with the services offered.

Impressive building, nice atmosphere and the hosts were very friendly. The room was spacious and clean.
