Aegeon Hotel

"We’ve just come back from a wonderful holiday at this hotel. If you’re the sort of people who like hotels that are generic and could be anywhere in the world, this isn’t for you. If however you want a whole lot of character and charm, immaculately clean, with beautiful views, lovely staff, and a great Greek experience, I’d highly recommend the Aegeon. It’s in a quiet spot, but it’s an easy walk into the village where you’ll find enough restaurants to give you plenty of choice. If you decide to stay round the pool, I’d highly recommend the Greek pizza, just fab! The hotel puts on a Greek bbq night once a week, which most of the guests attended and was great fun. We hired a car and spent the day exploring the island, which is really lovely. It’s a far more authentic experience than the more commercial islands like Rhodes or Corfu. We’re definitely looking to come back again, following in the footsteps of a large number of other returning visitors. Thank you again Antonetta and all the staff of the Aegeon, we’ll see you again soon."

Sunrise Resort Hotel

"The Sunrise is a well-run complex of small blocks with a central reception/restaurant/bar, all set on a hillside with gorgeous views across the sea to the Turkish coast opposite. The grounds are full of trees and flowering shrubs with gardeners at work daily. Pools are nice - sparkling clean and well maintained, though the pool bar is a little overpriced for the food quality. There is a sauna, jacuzzi and gym next to the pool area though I didn’t investigate. When we went in September there were few Brits and less children, which were pluses in our book. A lot of visitors are Dutch. Rooms are good, we had a basic standard which was very clean and comfortable even though I paid for the deluxe (not sure if this was a hotel or Jet2 error). Staff bring your bags up for you - helpful as some are quite high with lots of steps. Lovely sea views from balcony. Beds are firm but comfortable with spare pillows and bedding in the wardrobe. Bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, tv, tea making facilities (bring your own if you like Tetley type!) and a well stocked mini bar. Rooms cleaned and towels changed daily if you wish. The hairdryer was not working when we arrived and was replaced the same morning when we mentioned it. Air conditioning and WiFi are included unlike many smaller Greek hotels where you pay extra. (Mandatory tourist eco tax is €10 per room per night.) Excellent self service buffet breakfast in roomy restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating options with all you could want - Greek and international: breads, pastries, cereals, yoghurt and preserves, cheese, fruit, salad, hot and cold meats etc etc. Evening meal is also a buffet but rather average - we only used it once (21€pp no drinks included). Useful if you don’t feel like going out but cheaper to buy as half board if you will use it often. However there is a free shuttle minibus 5 times a day to the nearby village Molyvos where there are many very good and reasonably priced tavernas - we especially liked the seafront Triena - and several by the harbour such as the Octopus (very popular) and the Sea Horse. Taxi is 7€ (from the same drop off as the shuttle) if you want to return independently. It’s possible to walk from the hotel to the sea in 10 minutes though it’s a very small strip of shingle, as is the beach in Molyvos - bring beach shoes. The sea is lovely though, clean and warm as it shelves slowly. Sandy beaches are at nearby Petra and Anaxos, and you can catch a ‘village train’ to those, though they are more touristy. Efthalou is said to have lovely beaches but is a 30 minute walk and it was too hot to walk there. Lesvos is lovely! Have no second thoughts about visiting if you are looking for sun, peace and authentic food."

Clara Resort

"The hospitality of clara hotel is something special because Dimitris is always there for any problem for everyone! Thank you a lot we, will meet again!!!"

Aphrodite Beach Hotel

"A very nice hotel, clean and comfortable. Our room's air conditioning was a bit slow, largely because the cleaners insisted on leaving the windows/doors to our room open once they'd been in the morning so the day's heat was allowed to penetrate inside. Why couldn't they shut everything after, say, thirty minutes or whatever? Clearing this took more power than the air con units could really muster. A small matter really as we weren't uncomfortable. Breakfast was good enough, fresh eggs, bread, pastries etc. The taverna/cafe was very good, authentic Greek food...and I don't mean waterfront/beach tourist Greek Salad authentic. Very tasty, very basic, good value and plenty of it. Visited by many from outside the hotel, who also used the hotel's pool. Mid day the pool was complete mayhem. Children turned the pool into a warzone running laps, divebombing, lilo fights screaming and shouting. I witnessed hotel guests arguing with pool visitors (non-hotel guests) over sunbeds, and the visitors lying they did indeed stay at the hotel and were Jet2 clients - highly unlikely as they were clearly Dutch! I also noticed visitors removing a guest's shirt and towel from a bed so they could use it, even though visitors are only allowed the use of a small fraction of sunbeds. A really poor experience, and we didn't use the pool area for the rest of the holiday. I brought the matter up with reception who thanked us for mentioning it but stated non hotel guests only used the pool at weekends, but this was clearly not the case. We asked why there wasn't an occasional pool attendant and were told staff were too busy working in the restaurant as they get a lot of outside visitors! We had a hire car and were thankful we hadn't elected to walk into town at night. Steep uphill for the first half mile, and if a warm night then a bit of a hike. Lots of people getting taxis, quite wisely, but Lesvos is a fantastic island with some very lovely places to visit - particularly restaurants, so why not hire a car and do the island justice? To summarise - a good hotel experience, marred by carnage at the pool. If you want the whole island experience then the Aphrodite is perfect, if you want lazy times by the pool with a book while your child plays then check you have ear plugs and your child is a confident swimmer and isn't deterred by groups of other kids racing, bombing, diving, screaming etc etc "

Eressian Hotel & Hammam Spa

"Exzellent experience! The place is amazing and the staff is very attentive."

Panorama Hotel

"Wonderful place. Clean, calm, friendly Service and a very nice pool area where no one fights for the pool chairs Close to the beach too. Around 300m from an expensive but luxurious beach bare and a 15 min walk from town. Vasilis and his family and other employees are all smiles. Only hard beds, and a lot of wasps deduct a little. Its also not friendly to people with Mobility issues. Ask for a room up high for awesome views."

Alma Hotel

"If you ever get the chance to visit Lesbos Island, this is absolutely the place to stay! We stayed in a family room, which was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The view from our room was breathtaking. The staff made our stay even more special—they were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The food deserves a special mention too: fresh, delicious, and full of local flavors that made every meal a treat. And the resort itself… just perfect. From the well-maintained grounds to the relaxing atmosphere, it felt like a little slice of paradise. In short, everything about this place—from the rooms to the view, the staff, the food, and the resort itself—was exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay on Lesbos!"

Sappho Hotel

"The best place to stay in Skala Erasou. Lovely staff and the owner name is Marianna make our vocation fantasticly. There is no any car noise, just listen to waves and enjoy the beautiful sunset. Don't forget to taste Marianna's special frape. I deffinetly will come again!"

Malemi Organic Hotel

"I really enjoyed Malemi. This is not a corporate chain hotel, it's unpretentious, family run and serves the local community as well as tourists. A choice of good, wholesome home-cooked food rather than pizza, burgers and chips. Plenty on offer for veggies. Decent rooms and comfy beds. Within 10 minutes walk of the square in Skala Kallonis. The resort is a great base for walking and cycling around the Gulf of Kalloni but it is small and quiet. Public transport is poor, so you'll need to think about renting a car (the roads are very quiet) or booking excursions if you want to see much of the island. Lesvos is the most beautiful of the Greek islands I've visited, no sprawling high rise resorts like Rhodes or Crete but endless forests, mountains, unspoiled villages and blue waters."
