Where to stay in Gouvia

We visited the resort to celebrate my mother’s milestone birthday. We had an amazing time thanks to the staff who went out of their way to arrange a whole birthday cake, candle and singing with our first evening meal which made her feel very special. The entire team deserves a special mention, in particular the housekeeping team who always left our room looking immaculate with a smile on their faces...

Lovely resort, friendly staff, delicious food. Absolutely perfect for an end-of -season short break.

A really lovely resort, our first visit to Corfu as a couple and we couldn’t have chosen a nicer place for our week’s holiday. The resort is stunning and the staff are really friendly, welcoming and. Professional at all times. Our bedroom was lovely, we were shown how everything worked and where to find things when the porter took our cases to our room, which is included in the service. The bedroom...

We had a really good time but the hotel was definitely a bit tired and it just didn’t match up to other hotels we’ve stayed in for similar price.

My wife and I had a great time here. We came for a wedding and while here we utilize most of the amenities available. The Bayview is stunning and really cool. The food here was absolutely amazing from the buffet to the restaurants. Everything was fresh and cooked very well. The service that we received inside of the buffet every morning and night for dinner was top tier. Everyone was kind! It was absolutely...

Just returned from the most relaxing stay at this all-inclusive resort and it was exactly what we needed! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and cared for. The food was delicious with so many fresh options, and the drinks never stopped flowing. The pool and beach areas were absolutely serene—perfect for unwinding and recharging. Every detail was thought of, making it truly...

I recently tried my first sound healing class while on holiday in Cooks club Corfu, and it was a really memorable experience. The session was thoughtfully structured, with the sounds building and evolving in a way that felt natural and immersive. The instructor created a welcoming atmosphere and genuinely invited us into his world, sharing the intention and reasoning behind the practice. It made the...

We spent four nights as Cooks Club Corfu at the start of April. This is a beautiful hotel. Nothing out of place, spotlessly clean and modern. It is the most laid back hotel I have ever been to and I have come home fully refreshed. There are two swimming pools - one of which has a DJ. Both myself and my husband are in our early 40's. When we read there was a DJ at the pool we were concerned that...

We have just come back from a 7 night stay at Cooks Club Corfu. While we had an enjoyable time on our trip overall, thoroughly enjoyed our trips to see the wonderful beaches, natural beauty, culture and town of Corfu, Cooks Club was not a 5 star experience and they should not be marketing it as such. There were definitely some bright spots. The guest relations, bar staff and security gate staff were...

The best Spa inside a hotel I’ve been! Really professional staff and Amalia was amazing, I don’t know if getting a second massage before leaving!

Very clean, super friendly staff, really nice food. Options for vegan & vegetarian every meal. Order food via the app to be brought to table which was a nice touch. 2 really nice pools with lots of loungers. Drinks really nice - first all inclusive that the cocktails were not just premade mixers. Pretty quick at the bar too. Bar "snacks" more like full meals and options changed regularly, included...

My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Cook's Club Corfu. The hotel offers a brilliant selection of food and drinks, all of which were of a really high standard. Everything throughout the hotel was spotlessly clean, and the facilities were excellent – there’s plenty to enjoy whether you want to relax or keep busy. What really made our stay special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly...

Very nice garden, pool and views.

Stayed here early September 2025. The hotel is situated up a steep hill but no problem for us. It’s a hidden gem. We upgraded our room which was clean and spacious. We booked B&B, breakfast was excellent and so much variety - best Greek breakfast I have experienced for quality and variety. The pool area is clean and comfy, sunbeds always available and we didn’t wake early. The town is a short ...

A very pleasant stay. The entrance gardens are beautiful. Lunch was very good; delicious and varied. I recommend the hotel if you have a car.

Overall a very nice stay. Nice Hotel, with friendly staff, The greek Pizza from the pool restaurant was excellent too...

Beautifully located hotel, nice clean rooms, nice breakfast and for us the most important thing was the friendly staff! Vasilies from the bar was always friendly and you want to learn a lot about the culture and the island! The chef Andreas is ready to explain the Greek delicacies they serve! The reception is friendly and helps you on your way, we have almost all talked to them and are all equally...

Perfect for those traveling with a car. Facilities: Average Cleanliness: Very clean and tidy Environment: Nestled in an olive grove Service: Prompt and efficient Breakfast options are plentiful, and most guests are British. Perfect for self-driving trips.

Really pretty beachfront hotel. Clean and well appointed. Very friendly staff . Very accommodating. Breakfast was best we had in Greece. Will hold luggage and has a shower and changing room for guests.

We recently visited this hotel. Very lovely, beautifully kept, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Right near the beach and main shops/restaurant area. Rooms nice with tea/coffee and even ouzo replaced every day. Breakfast was good and lots of choice. Would highly recommend and will be returning.

Great hotel with easy access to restaurants, the beach, and bus service. Despite being just off the main road, it was very quiet. The gardening around the property was also cute. Enjoyed the breakfast. Front desk staff very helpful. Was both family friendly snd a good hotel for single travelers. Quiet enjoyable. Only portion that was just average was the food at the restaurant for lunch and dinner...

We always felt safe! The food at Iliada Hotel was amazing and always fresh! The staff were kind and attentive. Will definitely be returning.

Where to start with this amazing little family run hotel 😍 location is perfect, right on the beach in Gouvia , with really comfy beds and good quality umbrellas and table service all day . Rooms were a good size with plenty of storage, comfy beds , ceiling fan aswell as aircon and a nice size balcony. Breakfast is a plentyful buffet with lots of choice . The onsite bar and restaurant is top class,...

It was wonderful, clean, comfy beds, just at the beach. We enjoyed so much and receptio works 24/7.

Ok The hotel is average but staff is very good, especially the ones from Asia…

Ordinary Hotel but good value It’s away from main attractions and is an average hotel. Rooms are basic…

Hotel has been refurbished to good standard. Breakfast was of good range and quality. Negatives were a rusty, leaking ancient fridge in room and disappointing pool area with uncomfortable sun beds and “pool bar” which was just a display fridge with limited range of canned drinks.

We had a fantastic 5-night stay at Silver Bay Hotel in Corfu! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The hotel itself is peaceful and beautifully maintained, with lovely gardens and a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for a getaway. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The pool area was a highlight, spacious, and always spotless....

1. The staff is very nice .. especially the lady at the reception is always smiling and attentive .. 2. the morning was delicious, especially the cherry drink. 3. The room suited me perfectly, it was clean, the bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked... the balcony was beautiful... 4. the bathroom is small but it wasn't a problem for us .. 5. the only negative thing in the room is the very...

Excellent hotel at an inexpensive price - quality of services and rooms. There are breakfasts. The sea is 19 minutes from the hotel, where there is a beach with pebbles and 30 minutes a beach with sand (sunbed 5 euros), if you walk. Bus 7 runs to the city for about 15 minutes to the center of Kerkyra every 20-30 minutes. From the stop to the hotel it is about 8 minutes on foot. The staff was polite...

The staff was very courteous. There weren't too many guests at the time. The window was hard to open.

A very pleasant overnight stop just 20 minutes from the airport. Nice light, clean room. However, by the standards of many foreigners, not 4 star - probably lower 3 star. And the description I saw included 'free parking' while only on-street parking was available. Very friendly staff and good (not outstanding) breakfast. Given the price, I will probably stay there again as it was excellent value.

John from the Blue Bar has been friendly, helpful, and has absolutely made our stay a lot better at the hotel. His positive moral has created a positive environment, and we cannot thank his hard work and excellent drinks enough! Thank you John.

A very nice property, fairly new (or at least renovated) with a pool and elevator, centrally located in town and close to the beach, restaurants, grocery stores, and shops. The room was a great size, with a balcony and bathroom. Although small and windowless, it was new and functional, with a fantastic shower. Water temperature and pressure were good. The room also had a flat-screen TV, air conditioning...

Couldn't fault this hotel. The location is ideal for Gouvia town, shops and tavernas and also the beach. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were cleaned on a daily basis. The pool was spotless. The cocktails were very nice and the food from the grill was outstanding Breakfast was great , it had it all, cooked, cereal, yoghurt, breads , meat, cheese, toast, coffee , juices, cakes and biscuits...

1st class service, lovely hotel, amazing staff, everything so clean, yes there is the odd smell now and again but it’s not from the hotel. I’ve stayed in many places in Corfu over the last 30 years and this is superb! The cocktails are amazing , the breakfasts are great, and the pool is the cleanest I’ve ever experienced.

This was our second time as a Family to Govino Bay & both times we had an amazing time, beautiful clean apartments, amazing Pool area, reception staff & restaurant staff lovely couldn't do enough for us, pool bar staff maybe not as friendly, a very peaceful location with lovely bars & restaurant's close by, myself & my husband returning back in June 2026 cant wait !!!!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Corfu. The location was perfect — close to the beach and only a short drive from the old town. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Overall, a great experience and I’d definitely come back!

We stayed here 03/09 - 07/09/2025. We arrived at just after midnight, had to wait around 25 mins for somebody to arrive at reception & show us to our room; I then had to walk a long way and up a few hills with three suitcases; whilst my pregnant wife carried our two year old & had my 9 year old walk with her - the guy showing us to our room didn't ever bother the offer to help with the bags or children...

Good hotel Lovely hotel. Great setting. Positioned near to bus route so easy to get back and to to corfu town cheap to do so. €2.50 each way. Hotel a little dated but great. The cleaner was great. The only english tv channel was intermitted bbc news that only worked 30% of the time. Yes i would go again but I would take my fire stick view from room/ apartment was great. The apartment had loads of...

Had a lovely time here! Bar staff are so nice, receptionists are helpful, pool is lovely and buses right outside the complex for easy access to town or beaches etc! Hope to come again.

We had a very good stay at Govino Bay Hotel. The price-performance ratio is excellent, with a beautiful pool area including a bar, friendly staff, and convenient parking for both cars and scooters. Our room was spacious enough, bright, equipped with air conditioning, and everything was clean. The facilities are a bit dated, but still well maintained. Overall, we left with a very positive impression...

Very traditional Greek hotel. Good choice of continental breakfast which we had outside everyday. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough to help, from booking taxis and sharing local knowledge. The beach was a 2 minute walk from the hotel (although the beach was gravel rather than sand) but very quiet and relaxing. Bars and restaurants all within minutes of the hotel. The hotel was very clean...

You get exactly what you pay for for the price. Staff very kind and helpful.

Nasos, ran front desk and bar at same time. He was truly amazing. He made our stay truly fabulous. Hotel was easy to get around town either walking or by bus. Hotel was clean, good AC and WiFi. Would stay here again.

I have a fondness for the resort of Gouvia on Corfu and like to try different properties on each visit. The Sirena beach is at the north end of the resort, tucked down a small side road towards the beach, meaning of course there is direct access to the beach from the side of the hotel. The staff were very welcoming and my room was a good size with the usual facilities (no kettle for early morning tea...

I went to Corfu for the first time during the summer of '82, without doing any research: big mistake! Kavos... Upon my return to England, I looked into the island properly and booked a four day trip to Sirena Beach Hotel. Utter heaven! I was greeted and treated throughout as a friend or member of the family. Consequently, I returned for a further nine days a month or so later. All of the staff, from...

We stayed here 6 nights and it was very comfortable. Spacious rooms and large beds - easy to sort your stuff if travelling. Very clean. Staff were great and helped us. Close to restaurants, shops, bus to Corfu Town and a big supermarket. Long breakfast window from 8-11 very relaxing. People making negative comments need to remember how much they are paying a night and that hospitality has just come...

Another great stay at Mathraki Resort, George and his family did a great job of looking after us and our basement apartment was lovely.

We stayed here for one week in September & had a really lovely holiday. We had a studio apartment right by the pool which was traditional but spacious & clean. The pool area is lovely with comfy loungers & never any trouble getting a sun bed (although probably busier in peak season). You will get a really warm welcome here at this family run resort, George, Maria & their sons are so friendly & helpful...

Perfect week at Mathraki, really enjoyed the swimming pool and fabulous sunbeds - amazing! The family look after everyone so well and the food is very much enjoyed . Gouvia main strip resort is a few minutes walk down across main road and we really liked that as you are away from traffic and noise! We will definitely return to Mathraki 😊

We had the most brilliant stay at Mathraki Resort, the rooms were spotless, the facilities were amazing, and the location was just perfect! As a group of young girls we also felt extremely safe both at the hotel & surrounding areas! We will definitely be back & recommending it to all of our friends & family!

Very friendly family run apartments . Everywhere spotlessly clean . We only had breakfast at the resort on one occasion as ‘smoking-allowed’ everywhere , spoilt that part of it for us… this also was the case with sitting around the pool and on our balcony . We would have eaten at the hotel more and joined in with the ‘Greek night’ if not so Smokey. We probably should have gone to a non/ restricted...

Another fantastic holiday at Mathraki. The complex has had a tasteful refurbishment since our last visit and our apartment was beautiful and the new sun beds modern and super comfy. No sun bed wars here! Thank you Nikos for making us all feel like part of your family. It really is a special place. George you never cease to make the guests smile and allowing us all to be part of your birthday celebrations...

A nice little hotel, located somewhat out of the way. We stayed there for one night. The reception was very friendly, and we were even able to check in well before the scheduled time. We really enjoyed our lunch by the pool. If you're mobile and looking for a more peaceful stay, the hotel is definitely recommended.

We spent 5 nights at the hotel and left satisfied. We chose the hotel because of its proximity to our son's accommodation, as he was staying in Corfu for a longer period. We traveled around the island on a scooter, which we picked up shortly after our arrival, a short distance from the airport. The hotel's location suited us; we knew it wasn't directly by the sea. The price was great (booked through...

clean and freindly lolvely nature good breakfast would recomend grear staff

A rural family run hotel- The staff were very attentive and helpful- We had a room facing the pool with a balcony which was lovely- The rooms were clean albeit a little dated. The pool was lovely which we had a lovely greek salad and a couple of cocktails- very reasonably priced

We came for a couple of days- The owners and staff could not be more friendlier- nothing was too much trouble- A beautiful setting with beautiful gardens. A little further out than we thought . Rooms were spacious enough with an added bonus of the balcony looking over the gardens

The hotel is remote...which I'm sure people are aware of before booking it so I am surprised at the low review score because of this. If you want to be in the city centre then you pay those prices. This hotel is tucked out of the way. It is quiet. You can access the beaches, airport, town centre, water parks etc using the public buses. Yes you have to walk to get to a bus stop but for goodness sake...

We stayed for 7 nights in July 2025. 4 adults with 2 rooms. When we were shown to our rooms they were incredibly small, not as advertised on their website or on our booking confirmation. The rooms were located next to the boiler room and the cleaning cupboard and these rooms could be accessed by a small walkway from the street. We asked Reception if we could be moved to bigger rooms as shown on...

We stayed at the Palotel Hotel 20th July 2025 for seven nights. When we booked the rooms advertised were the larger rooms. When we arrived we were shown to the rooms. I said to the receptionist it was very small she said all the rooms were the same size, obviously not the room was allocated beside the boiler room and cleaners cupboard. There were three rooms on the bottom floor my friend and I were...

This was a lovely family run hotel. When we first arrived it looked like a small restaurant but when we were taken to our room we were amazed at the size of the hotel. There were lifts but we were on the ground floor. Despite being near the pool and opposite the breakfast area were not disturbed by any noise.. There were plenty of sun beds around the pool area The room had balcony overlooking...

This was our 3rd stay in 3 years at the Palatel Hotel. Suffice to say we've never been disappointed. This year was a bonus as by chance we were in the very same room as the 1st year. Rooms are generally a good size, although I'm aware some corner rooms are smaller. All the staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming and remember you from previous visits. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen events the...

Just arrived home today. Hotel was OK but definitely not luxury as name suggests. We stayed at Palapart 3 years ago. Same company and far superior. Room was very small and shower tiny and inconsistent water temperature. The pool area is awful. Old tatty sunbeds. Pool actually belongs to hotel next door and Jet2 never mentioned this. Over the whole week, never saw a pool person cleaning pool...

This is a basic 3 star accommodation in the centre of a slightly run down Gouvia which has been built on a postage stamp. Although our apartment was clean and modern, we were very disappointed with the balcony as there was no privacy due to the buildings being set at 45 degrees to each other, meaning the balconies where overlooked from all angles. { like living in a goldfish bowl }. The photos...

Stayed here from 22 sept to 2nd oct. Was brilliant. Lovely staff, apartment as cleaned, pool was lovely. Only advice I have (and this is my fault not Helion), is you get bitten to death so bring insect repellent, but that is the case in most hot countries.

We recently stayed at a self-catered hotel apartment with a group of 5, and it turned out to be a comfortable and convenient base for our trip. The apartment was well-sized and One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the swimming pool. It was clean, well-maintained, There were loungers around the pool, and it never felt overcrowded.

Resort set in lovely gardens, pool area fab, bus stop right outside entrance €2 fare to Ipos & Barbati Beaches or €2.50 to Corfu Town . Gouvia centre 8-10 minute ealk

we stayed at helion apartments same people, extremely nice extremely helpful and very kind. lovely cleaning ladies. great location. air con is wonderful as it's so hot!!

This resort is great for all kinds of customers. We were there with the family and the welcome was warm. Great staff and the rooms are clean and spacious. The environment is very calm, but still fun enough! The pool is also clean and deep enough for a quick dive and some lanes. The location is perfect. Nearly all fun activities are within reach (you can walk to most places, if not, the busses and taxi...

Overall a very good case, but it had negative points such as the small water supply with problematic taps as well as weak wifi

Marietta and her family are the sweetest people in all of Greece! Me and my wife were visiting Corfu and ate everyday at Marietta's Restaurant. The food here is absolutely fresh, the restaurant is clean and the most amazing ingredient is their hospitality. I would recommend this Resort and Restaurant 100 times, over and over again. Thank you Marietta for hosting us (and the tasty BANANA smoothie you...

I went here with my boyfriend and we both agree that the food here is amazing and the best we ever tried.We had a really good time and the servers really nice and welcoming. We 100% recommend this place.

We like walking but if you have any walking difficulties it's a small uphill walk from main road. Great staff. Great pool. Lovely spacious quite rooms with lovely views.

From the moment we arrived our family was welcomed and taken care of. Papa, Mama and their family/staff are so wonderful and work hard to make sure you have everything you need. The food is absolutely delicious and the menu has something for everyone. There is also an icecream freezer and bar. The location to Gouvia is just right as its set back from the main road and main town which gives you a nice...

Marietta's Resort is a beautiful, quiet place that was perfect for my stay! My room was lovely, clean, and a plus was the kitchen. The property is nicely located close to town, but tucked away from any traffic so it was very quiet at night. The pool was the nicest pool I've ever swam in! Marietta was so accommodating and helpful! I needed a taxi to the port and she graciously offered to drive me. If...

I stayed here in July 2025 and had a excellent experience. The hotel is located near the end of the main strip so is close enough to all the restaurants and shops but far enough to be quiet. The room was clean, quiet and modern, the AC worked really well, the bed was super comfy and the bathroom perfect. The owner and staff were super friendly and helpful at every opportunity. I'm already looking at...

Highly recommended. Christos was more than helpful with us. Such a real man. Good location and really great room conditions for what you pay.

Comfortable beds (I don't like hard beds and I was relieved to find that these are not hard), clean, helpful staff, great location (worth a night here before a flight at the least because it's near the airport but avoids the high prices of Corfu Town). It is quiet the vast majority of the time. I had 2 stays in different rooms- the slightly more expensive room was upstairs so quieter because at no...

Brilliantly revamped rooms, cheap rates and friendly owners, brilliant bar with fantastic cocktails.

This is an excellent hotel and I would highly recommend staying here if you visit Corfu. The beds are super comfortable and it is extremely quiet at night. Our room was exceptionally clean just like my own mother had cleaned it. Christos the owner is very accommodating and friendly and it was a great pleasure to experience his hospitality. Many thanks.

Lovely cozy hotel with a substantial breakfast(make sure your hungry! ). Very friendly staff and owner. Very clean and tidy rooms with balcony. Newly refurbished. Traditional Greek style which is lovely. Right in the heart of the village with cut through to the beach (around 2 min walk) supermarket just up the road (5min walk) bus route to take you to town. Surrounded by amazing tavernas but most of...

Lovely family run small hotel, the staff are amazing, so helpful, and kind Rooms are recently refurbished and nicely decorated. Beds are very comfortable, and soft pillows. Bathroom very nicely decorated, nice shower. Breakfast continental, but nice selection try the yougert and honey! Good selection of drinks, strawberry daiquiri my favourite Good sized pool and really posh sun...

This hotel is alright for the location, near to a lovely town . The room is big enough and we can cook as this is studio. And they have a giant swimming pool!

This is the second time I’ve been here this year & what an absolutely beautiful, chilled family run place! Food is second to none, staff are all lovely & the hotel itself is just so lovely! Very clean great atmosphere, pool has sun all day with great loungers! Rooms are fully equipped & spacious! I’ll be returning every year that’s for sure 🫶🏼 could not recommend enough, to anyone who wants a chilled...

Hmm, where to start! I was asked to pay extra for aircon which definitely was included in the room and I can prove it. Also the hotel is right on the main road so noisy!! And no parking at all. Very very inconvenient if you have a car. Although the owner and staff were friendly all these other things made me leave early. Parking was a serious issue and the location was terrible for driving as the access...

Booked a five night break here for myself and my partner. This place didn’t disappoint. Our room was spotless. Cleaned every day. Bed was so comfortable. Plenty of sun beds. Pool was warm and very clean. Food was good and plentiful. Loukritia and family looked after us and nothing was too much trouble We would return again ❤️

This is an honest review from someone who has travelled a lot and explored different hotels. The hotel itself is clean and the staff are very welcoming. We had originally booked a double bedroom with a sofa bed and this room was too small for the 3 of us but we were able to upgrade to a 1 bedroom apartment for an extra €125 for the week and it was well worth it. The breakfast is basic, could do...
