Gaia Garden

Beautiful hotel, perfectly situated and just all around stunning. Small and intimate and having private sunbeds was a blessing. Food was incredible and the staff were lovely. 10/10 will be coming back 🌎❤️

21st July 2025 & 13th October 2025 I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the wonderful Gaia Gardens Hotel not once, but twice this year – first in July with my two teenage daughters (aged 14 and 16), and again in October as a solo traveller. From the moment we arrived, Gaia Gardens felt less like a hotel and more like a loving home tucked away in paradise. What initially drew me to Gaia Gardens was its small, family-run charm, nestled in beautiful, peaceful grounds. As a single mum travelling with two daughters, feeling safe and at ease was paramount – and Gaia Gardens delivered this in abundance. The warmth and hospitality from the team made us feel instantly welcome and cared for. Our room was fabulous – recently renovated, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and blissfully quiet. It was the perfect retreat after days spent exploring or relaxing. The restaurant was another highlight: fresh, flavourful food with plenty of choice, served in a relaxed and friendly setting. Every meal felt like it was made with love. The bar team were absolutely fabulous – always friendly, engaging, and ready with a smile. Whether you were enjoying a drink or just passing by, there was always someone to chat to, which made the atmosphere feel so warm and sociable. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so genuinely connected to the people around you. One of my personal favourites was the open-air rooftop gym – what a way to start the day, working out with stunning views all around. It added a unique and energising touch to the experience. The location is ideal: just a 15–20 minute walk to Kos Town, and only 3–5 minutes to Lampi Beach and local shops. I also hired a car from 'Gaia Explorer Rent A Car', conveniently located in the hotel reception – a brilliant safe and friendly service with the best insurance that made exploring the island easy and enjoyable. Both visits were truly special, and I can’t wait to return next season. Gaia Gardens is a gem – a place where you’re not just a guest, but part of a family. Thank you to everyone at Gaia Gardens for making it such a wonderful, memorable place to stay. Highly recommended – with all my heart. Katie, Sophia & Daisy (21st July 2025 & 13th October 2025)

Just back from another fantastic holiday at Gaia Garden! A very warm welcome ,as always 😊 Immaculate gardens, spotless rooms,excellent food choices, especially for vegetarian/vegans. It was lovely to see & meet up with friends from different countries, & enjoyed many great nights at the bar,again being taught Greek dancing by Sotiris! The hotel itself remains unique, however this time I was a little disappointed with the surrounding area,finding alot of rubbish, overflowing bins etc( not involved with the hotel).It won't stop me coming, as I've already booked for May & October next year. Keep up the good work, enjoy the rest over winter, see you in May xx

It was amazing to come back to visit our Greece home. It is not a hotel , it becomes your home with family. Our hearts belong to Gaia and people who works here. First visit was 10 years ago and cheers to many more 💙

First of all I must say that all staff from bar, restaurant, maids etc were all first class. However, the apartment I was given was supposed to be a single apartment with a balcony/terrace and garden view. What I was given was a basic apartment which was clean so I had no problems with that. What I thought was disgraceful was that there was no balcony/terrace. What it had I would describe as a bunker, where you were sat below ground level with your head just above ground level. i had a lovely view of a hedge directly opposite me which was no view at all. One day to cap it all, a cat decided to come by my balcony and do its business right in front of me. Not very nice when your head is in line with the cat's behind. The shower was something else also, I have never had a shower joint tap on one wall and the shower head stand on another wall. It left a trailing hose going across the bath which isn't good for health and safety, asking for trouble immediately. The other thing I found totally disgusting is the quality of the drinks in the all inclusive. I know there is no gin, but that didn't bother me personally. I found the beer was as weak as piss. It was no more than 2.8%, a little more than alcohol free. All the spirits were all of a very weak quality also. I think they are actually brewed in a lock up garage in Kos town because it was noticeable that every time one was poured all the bar staff conveniently covered the labels with their hands when pouring so no one could actually see the make of this dross. I have been to all inclusive all over Europe for over 30 years, and ok you don't expect Belgian, German or Czech quality beers, but I have had San Miguel, Estrella, Cruzcampo, Efes etc all quality drinks on all inclusive, but I honestly have to say this is the worst I have ever tasted in my life. As for the food it was hit and miss sometimes it was tasty, sometimes awful although not a large selection to your usual all inclusive, but you could always muster something up. The Greek night food was tasty and to be fair the gyros were one of the best I've tasted but that is only 1 night. I like fish but it looked horrendous all week, and one day was in some green sludge which could be best described as slimer from Ghostbusters. The accommodation is quite isolated down a dark track which you get cars and motorbikes speeding up and down, but it is only a 20 minute walk to Dolphin Square. I do not normally write reviews but felt I had to on this occasion. I seen a similar review recently about the quality of the drink. I wish that review would have been written before I booked. I booked my holiday with Easyjet and I have told them they should visit these places and ensure what they are advertising is a correct description of the accommodation and facilities. Would I go again - never
