We spent three nights at the Blue Lagoon City Hotel, and we could not fault it. The room was exceptionally spacious and well designed, with two wash basins and a separate shower recess and toilet. The bed was big and very comfortable. We had a balcony with a pleasant view, and the room was spotlessly clean.The staff on the front desk were exceptionally helpful.The location was excellent and we just walked a short distance to the harbour. It is in a very quiet area. We loved our stay and highly recommend the Blue Lagoon!

A magical place situated right on the beach. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, whether you're lounging by one of the pools or on the beach amidst this natural beauty; it evokes a sense of enchantment. The staff is consistently helpful, and their cheerful demeanor contributes to the overwhelmingly positive vibes of this beautiful location. If you encounter any issues, everyone is more than willing to assist you. I wish I could hire one of these people to work at home! Greece isn't typically known for its breakfast options, but this place brought smiles to our faces. From fresh fruit to pancakes, bread, cereals, beans, and sausages, you'll find everything you need, all of excellent quality. The same goes for dinner: everything is fresh, of high quality, and prepared in a delightfully tasty manner – a feast for the eyes as well. The location is in direct proximity to the small and tranquil village of Mastichari, where you can find everything you need, from grocery stores and car rentals to charming restaurants. All in all, this is the perfect destination if you're seeking a vacation filled with relaxation and rejuvenation, surrounded by positive vibes. It's perfect for pure relaxation or for returning after your diving and quad adventures. We will definitely be returning!

It proved one of our most relaxing holiday experiences. Although this resort just opened in June this year, the level of service and the staff's personal touch in going the extra mile is more than commendable. The facilities, the location, the view from our room were amazing. The final touch was the extraordinary quality of food served at the breakfast buffet (wide variety of options), and the gourmet Thyme restaurant. We will be certainly coming back.

1. The breakfast has plenty of options for all the tastes. One of the best we've found out there. 2. The room was very comfy with enough space for a couple. 3. The pool is amazingly beautiful with a good structure around it. It even has a built-in hydro massage. 4. The location is amazing, and the city center can be reached easily by bike (5 min.) or foot (10 min.). 5. The private beach is located in the another side of the road with a good structure (bar service, shower, etc...) and the beach water is very nice. 6. Finally, the staff of this hotel was very friendly and gentle with us, attending all our expectations and more.

FAQs about hotels on Kos

A Cultural Crossroad

Birthplace of the father of medicine, Hippocrates, Kos is the 3rd largest island of the Dodecanese. Located in the south Aegean region, this green island has a temperate climate, palm tree-lined avenues, and crystalline blue waters, all accessible by bike.

Featuring a great selection of 5-star hotels and all inclusive resorts, Kos is a tourist and cultural gem with long hours of sunshine and intense nightlife. Kardamena is a popular resort for young holidaymakers, offering a large number of bars and nightclubs.

Founded in 366 BC, Kos Town is home of the imposing medieval Castle of the Knights of Saint John. The traditional village of Afsendiou is a stunning paradise with narrow alleys and spring waters. Another must-see is the picturesque village of Antimachia, with the Venetian castle and the original windmills.

Kefalos village is home of one of the most magnificent Kos beaches, as well as the iconic small island of Kastri. If you are travelling with kids, do not miss Tigaki, a long sandy beach with shallow waters and sun loungers. Savour fresh fish in Mastichari, while enjoying the majestic view of the port.

Booking.com provides everything from hotels and apartments to guest houses, including some near Kos Airport, the second closest airport to Bodrum.

We loved the convenient location with easy access to local bus routes. Our room was clean with perfect AC, and the entire resort was spotless including all common areas. The multiple saltwater pools were very clean, and beach loungers were usually available. The breakfast buffet was fantastic with tons of options, and the main restaurant served really good food. There's a handy shop on-site with a great selection of everything you might need. This place is amazing for kids - children eat free until age 12 (which was a pleasant surprise!), and we felt completely safe letting our kids (ages 7 and 10) roam around independently. The staff was really friendly and always smiling, the evening entertainment was decent, and the other guests were a nice crowd. They also have a gym and indoor spa available.

The hotel's greatest asset was undoubtedly its staff. From the warm and friendly reception at check-in to the impeccable housekeeping services, every member of the team was committed to providing top-notch service. The hotel's entertainment team deserves a standing ovation! They never failed to keep the guests entertained with their fun and engaging activities throughout the day. The pool area was well-maintained, and the poolside bar served refreshing drinks to help guests beat the heat. The hotel had a variety of slides, catering to different age groups and thrill levels. Our older kids enjoyed the thrilling twists and turns of the high-speed slides, while the younger ones had a blast at the milder slides, specifically designed for their age.

Had a great stay at Anna Maria apartments & ate & drank in their bar, East Coast. Excellent customer service, the food & drinks were exceptional & special thanks to the boy with the beard (sorry I don’t know his name) he looked after us daily & was a credit to the staff. The apartments were very central & directly on the beach, Kardamena has a lot that offer, great bars & restaurants. Hopefully we’ll be back next year. We had an amazing time. Thanks so much 😀

Tigaki in Kos is a fantastic destination, with beautiful beaches, charming local restaurants, and a relaxed vibe that’s perfect for a getaway.

It's a very small town, there isn't much to see or do. You can pretty much walk in two directions. But Tigaki is close, there's a bit more variety of restaurants and bars and cafes. The beach in Marmari is perfect though! And it's very safe and quiet. I would recommend renting a car anyway, because there's not much else to do and you will be more flexible that way. The sunsets in Marmari are very beautiful!

Flight from ATH (Aegean Air) very good.

Flight from ATH (Aegean Air) very good. With luggage in-hand, we got in-line for a taxi to take us to lodging. Terrible experience. Must have been 35++ people in-line, A few taxis came initially. Wait was over 30 minutes. Standing in sun. It took a long time to get a taxi. Way to long. First impression of Kos, very poor. Then, our taxi driver could not find our lodging in the Kefalos area (think this was a rare event, as our lodging was NOT on the taxi drivers GPS display...???). Finally used Google Maps and that worked. Trip was off to poor start and never got better. Disappointed in Kos ground transportation. Have traveled a good number of the Greek Islands. This was the FIRST (Kos) that I would NOT return to.

Loved walking around in the city center and having lunch here during the day, but we mostly had dinner along the beach. Lots of things to see, many boat trips (3 Island Trip with the Oddysey and Nisyros trip highly recommended). Beach: We loved going to Tarzan and using their sunbeds. Also recommend renting a bike and touring for a day. Number 1 restaurant: The Chasapaki

Mastichari is lovely!

Mastichari is lovely! It is a chilled Greek village beside a beach with a small terminal for ferries to / from Kalymnos, and a bus stop that will get you to Kos town or the airport. There is a nice variety of tavernas for traditional Greek food, and a handful of bars. Prices in Mastichari are much cheaper than in Kos town! There are a selection of shops that sell a mixture of groceries, booze, and souvenirs. If you need a big supermarket, head up the hill out of the village and you will come to Constantinos, which has everything you need. There's also plenty of places to hire cars etc. The beach is right beside the village. It is very chilled. There are no noisy bars churning out loud music, or noisy motorised watersports. There are some sunbeds, but the beach is not dominated by them. Most of the holiday makers we saw were, like us, middle aged or older (this is not a criticism!). If you are younger and / or want a lively nightlife, this village may not be for you. Everything is fairly flat (unless you go up that big hill above the village), but you will need to tackle a step or two to get into shops and tavernas. The smaller hotels here will have stairs, not lifts, so do your research if accessibility is an issue for you.
