We stayed here 7 years ago, and always promised ourselves we'd come back. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The pool is huge for a hotel of this size. Best of all there are always enough sunbeds - no reserving beds here!

On arrival we were surprised to realise that we were one of the few first-time couples. It didn't take us long to realise why - this hotel has excellent, attentive staff, a superb pool and a location that is the perfect distance from town. The hotel is run by a wonderful Dutch woman and roughtly 50% of the guests are... More

we were given one of the attic rooms, which are small, with sloping ceiling, very little natural light - only a sky light held open by a lump of wood, and no ventilation at all in the bath room. We asked if the extractor fan which did not work, could be fixed on our first day, but it was not... More

The Hotel Venus in Kokkari was a lovely relaxing location and we had a great week. The hotel itself had very friendly and helpful staff. The pool area was great with a fantastic view of the mountain and always enough sun loungers for everyone. The pool bar would bring drinks and snacks to your sun loungers and the sandwiches were...

Have just returned from 2 weeks here with a walking party and absolutely loved Samos with so much of interest to see. There are plenty of easy chairs in the large public areas of hotel. Also a lovely sitting space outside near the bar and by the pool. It is the most wonderful pool I have seen - very big... More

http://youtu.be/2mIo3slaqGw copy and paste in your browser bar I have been travelling Greece for 50 years and find the Venus one of the best hotels so far. Any one who complains about this hotel must be of noble birth or to the Manor born with valets and footmen to make life comfy. This is a very clean hotel with great... More

We have just booked our next holiday to our favourite destination. It will be our 20th visit to Kokkari and for the last 11 times we have stayed at the Hotel Venus. That should be enough recommendation if you're thinking of booking a holiday here. This small (about 40 rooms) hotel is family owned and run. Maria, the owner, is... More

We arrived at this hotel in July 2011, it was located directly on the main road into Kokkari. The public areas were clean and satisfactory, however, we were disappointed in the tired, dated room which was carpeted. The decor was dated with old, bobbly blankets on the bed. The room smelled old and damp, the smell seemed to be coming... More
