Positive :
Inside the nice tradtionnal village of Finikia, the hotel is located in a quieter aera than the center of Oia. The construction is nice and you can experience the fresh ancestral dug houses inside the rock.
Negative :
The description of the accomodation on AirBnb doesn't correspond at all to what the hotel gave us.
In fact, there is no mention that this is an hotel on AirBnb, so let me explain : the accomodation here is what they call a "Master Suite", there are several in the hotel and you don't know in advance which one you will get. The photos present all different Master Suites, but the description is for the best one (maybe to lure in the client ?). It was said to have a panoramic sea view on a garden rooftop, in reality we had a small terrace between 4 walls with no view at all.
So you pay almost 3k€ (not in the high season) for 7 people for 4 nights and you don't get what you paid for.
Fortunately, the staff is kind and they arranged a room exchange so we could get something smaller but with a better view (a cheaper Suite, but sadly they did no discount or refund...)
In general, the hotel is way overpriced for what you get :
- The room setup can accomodate up to 7 seven people to sleep, but the tables, chairs, terraces are not designed for so many people. So you have to constantly move the furniture around.
- There is no way to close all the curtains in the room, so the sunlight wakes you up at 6 am.
- Because it is deep in the rock, you cannot properly ventilate the room, and everything smells humidity included your bedsheets and clothes.
- One morning, someone was drilling in the wall on the other side of the room at 8am.
- You can order your breakfast beetween 8:30 (too late if you go on an day excursion) and 10:30, but the person which delivers it knocks at the door fifteen minutes before what you asked.
To sum up, the hotel was way lower than our expectations, and the room description is clearly a scam (what the reception hardly admits). They should have created one page per room on AirBnb, so that you know exactly what you book.
