Giannema (Luxury Appartments) — Hotel in Municipality of Ios

My friends and (a group of 21 young adults) stayed for 8 nights, and our experience was nothing short of a nightmare. Let’s start off with the personnel. They were unfriendly, rude and aggressive.||The towels we received on the first day were white and clean. The following day we were given towels with yellow stains, and we were told that we caused the stains and had to hand wash them ourselves, even though we had no cleaning supplies. This is very funny that none of my 20 friends and I noticed these stains before, only after they were washed and ironed by the apartment cleaners.||Throughout our entire stay, we were repeatedly threatened and intimidated, which nearly ruined our entire holiday. The management first demanded €611 in damages without providing any proof. When we refused to pay such an arbitrary amount, the police were called on us — simply for standing our ground.||At the start of our stay we were told to pay everything in cash under the table, and not a single receipt was issued for anything – which is completely illegal. After further threats, the staff removed almost all bedding from our rooms, leaving us with no sheets, no pillow covers, and no blankets. (See photos as proof.) I used a towel still in our room and wrapped them around my pillow as I didn’t want to sleep on a dirty pillow🤮||On the final day, they again threatened us with police action unless we paid €370 for supposed damages — again, with no evidence provided.||It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old — no guest should ever be treated this way. We were threatened, manipulated, and disrespected throughout our stay.||Yanna and Nico, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Do...

Review – Absolutely Not Recommended!||||Let’s start with the only positives: the apartment’s location is great, and the building itself looks decent at first glance. Unfortunately, that’s where the good impressions end – everything else was a huge disappointment.||||The staff were generally unfriendly, and the manager was especially rude and unfair. We were accused of all sorts of things without any proof – such as “flooding” the pool area (we simply got in and out of the pool like normal guests), “contaminating” towels and bed linen (they only had normal stains that occur during regular use – apparently the staff just didn’t know how to do proper laundry), and even “breaking” a flower vase we had absolutely nothing to do with. Every time, the blame was placed on us with no evidence.||||The apartment itself was unhygienic – insects, cockroaches, and ants were everywhere. The beds were horrible: either hard concrete bases with no slats or uncomfortable air mattresses. Getting a good night’s sleep was impossible.||||To make matters worse, the police were called on us for no reason – clearly just a way to intimidate us. In the end, my colleagues and I were robbed of €370 for damages we did not cause. The owners abused their position of power, using their language skills and age advantage to dominate and manipulate us in a completely authoritarian way.||||My verdict: Stay away! The good location is not worth the terrible treatment, poor hygiene, and unfair accusations. Do yourself a favor and find another hotel – you’ll be...

Such a wonderful surprise to check in here. Modern fully furnished apartment, stylish in appearance. Kitchen facilities with 2 hotplates and small oven suitable for light meals. Good sized fridge, table and lounge. Our bathroom only had a shower, no bath. TV. Free and strong wi-fi throughout the apartment. Lots of light. Spotlessly clean with a fabulous cleaner who comes daily. Beautiful pool with lounge chairs cleaned daily. Balcony overlooks Mylopotas beach which a short 3-5 minute walk down the hill. There are several well stocked and good sized mini markets which serve food and alcohol. Lots of restaurants to select from. Prices for 2 people at dinner incl. 500 ml red wine around EUR 30-35. Sunbeds cost EUR 6 which was much cheaper than Mykonos. The bus stops at the front door and will take you to the port, the town or Manangari beach. The bus to town and the port was running every 15 minutes in September. Easy to catch a bus from the ferry on arrival to here. The bus to Manangari beach runs at 11am in the morning and returns around 5pm. Best to book your seats. Phone number is at the bus stop. We will return. Highly recommended!
