We booked for 4 nights. The room itself is lovely and the indoor pictures are accurate. The bathroom is really cool with a rock sink and rustic fittings. The fridge is useful. The little seating area at the back is nice but not private and can be seen from those sitting in the restaurant. There is a really useful little outdoor kitchen around the back with some cutlery, sink and a kettle which we would have used if staying longer.
Upon arrival we were told to come and get a key but then told it was in the door even though we had messaged and been told to collect it. The room is right next to the main road to Elafonissi and actually in the main car park of the restaurant. The one hammock (the other has broken) overlooks the taverna kitchen. The car park was always busy and cars were still arriving and leaving until after midnight. There is also very poor mobile coverage which means the lack of wifi may be a problem for some.
On the day we arrived, we asked for the stay to be shortened to 2 nights. This was in the cancellation agreement and we felt this was fair even though we only planned to stay for one night due to the noise and lack of privacy. We requested the change through the app and Katerina accepted the change without indicating there was a problem in the messages we were sending. After the first night, as we were leaving, Katerina approached us angrily on the car park. I was confused as she had accepted the request on the app and not said anything on the messages. She did not listen, raised her voice and then walked away when I tried to talk to her and show her the app and messages. Her attitude spoilt the time we had there.
In the restaurant, Katrina’s brother and his wife were absolutely fantastic, very welcoming and the food was great. It is well worth a visit.
For the room, our advice would be to make sure you’ve looked at it on Google Earth before you book so you know just how close to the main road and restaurant it is as the picture make it look much quieter and private than it is.
