“Friendly hotel on a beautiful island”
We stayed at the Athina Hotel in Sami, Kefalonia, at the end of May 2026 during the school holidays, and it was a fantastic experience. My husband, our eight-year-old daughter, and I felt truly welcomed. Makis, who runs the place, was wonderful—he introduced us to other guests and made us feel at h… more

“A wonderful find in a stunning location”
Found the Athina hotel by chance whilst looking for somewhere in Kefalonia. What a find. After arriving very late, we were greeted by a very warm welcome from Makis the owner. Cases dropped off in room & quick drink before bed. The hotel is spotless, rooms are typically Greek, basic but very comfor… more

“We fell in love with Sami”
We visited Sami in May, right at the beginning of the season, so places, venues etc were just opening up. The Athena hotel is conveniently situated a few yards from the sea and is very pretty. Lovely flowers and shrubs surround the exterior and the inner courtyard. The rooms are off the courtyard a… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
