BEWARE! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Really be aware when you book this, as this is not a romantic holiday suite .. it’s rather a party house.  My boyfriend Max and me booked the apartment from the 15th till the 25th of September 2021 and paid 47,50 euros per night. So it wasn’t a very cheap, nor a super expensive apartment, but for us as students it was a lot of money (475 euros for 10 days). We wanted to „spoil“ ourselves with this as a romantic holiday and a nice birthday celebration.
That didn’t work out as planned or hoped:
Unfortunately it was impossible to have a relaxed time, because we were not able to sleep from midnight till 4 or sometimes even 5 am every night (, even with earplugs).
What Sotiris „forgets“ when describing the place as being located „close to bars“ is that the place in fact IS a bar and that it’s located right next to the open air night club „Macao“, which opens EVERY night, 7 days a week, and turns up the music especially between 1am and 4:30am. (It‘s a very posh place, so even of you‘re into party, you should probably like this quite expensive and „there-to-be-seen“-scene)
So if you‘re looking to make the night a day, go ahead for a booking, but if you also prefer to sleep some of the nights in the accommodation that you booked, we can really not recommend Sotiris’ apartments (,there are also other rentable rooms of his, which are in the exact same location) and we will definitely not recommend it for longer stays, even when at daytime the location is really beautiful, set in the old town of rhodes, with short ways to many sights.
Apart from that we weren’t able to go on any longer trips or even into the museums that are close by, because we were always too tired and needed to sleep during the day.
We addressed the problem right away after the first night and reported it to him. He told us, he couldn’t give us the money back and advised us to call the police, so they could take care of the problem and shut down the music. That is what we did the upcoming nights, but it didn’t change anything. The police only stops the music of Macao for 5-10 minutes and then they turn the volume up again.
As it came out, Sotiris knew that right from the beginning, just as he knew, that Macao has dealings with the police about overlooking the governmental noise policies, which would make us powerless to complain. The police even blocked our number after the first calls, so that we had to call 112 instead of 100 to get through to the police.
Sotiris we reported this very early to you and only because we felt sorry also for you and your family about the whole situation, we took your advise of calling the police and trying to „solve the problem ourselves“, without knowing that this was just a game for you, so that we couldn’t get our money back.  (You have to report an issue to AirBnB directly (and not only the host) after it occurred within 24 hrs of check in, because otherwise you’re not eligible for a refund. Down below you find more information about this.)
After 7 days or rather nights of not being able to sleep, we had to change apartments, even though as students, we didn’t really have the money for this as we were on quite a tight budget (, that’s also another reason, why we tried the solution of calling the police: We simply couldn’t afford to change the apartment right away), but we also couldn’t put up with it any longer and were so stressed out about this stay, that we tried to just „soothe“ ourselves with alcohol in the night and a lot of coffee during the day to make everything more endurable.
But this is not holiday, it was quite a torture and we will most certainly not come back.
We left after the 7th night to a different apartment and gave the keys straight back to Sotiris. We still had 3 nights left to go, but it was better to take the risk of not getting the money back and stay somewhere else, where we could actually sleep than enduring this literal nightmare.
About the apartment in general: The apartment overall was clean, even though there was a 10cm cockroach in the bathroom, when we arrived, but maybe this can happen quickly, we thought. The furnishing was functional and maybe it’s necessary to mention, that the apartment is really small and you don’t really have a kitchen (there is only one cooking plate, one pot, and a tiny fridge). There is no separate shower, because the bathroom is the shower - but it does work, when you get the hang of it.
Sotiris and his wife were indeed (,also like other guests here stated) very welcoming: They gave us free drinks, coffee, water and even gifts (, which we found very friendly, but it also felt a little like a bribe to be honest, so we gave them back) and we absolutely value their hospitality, but this doesn’t change the fact of not being able to sleep and withholding such an information about unbelievably loud nightly noise from your guests.. Sotiris still made a lot of money through us and we do feel betrayed as guests. That is really wrong. And you must know that, Sotiris.
And we think you do. Because otherwise you would not have offered to give us the money for the last three nights, that we didn’t stay with you, back. But you only offered this as a bribe: In cash, ONLY if we give you a GOOD REVIEW. This is not just wrong, it’s actually quite criminal and we’re wondering with how many people you were pulling this off with.
