The Boathouse Hotel and Studios

Upon arriving at the hotel, the location was great, right across the boardwalk from the beach. Upon entering our room, the stench from the bathroom made us have to request another room. The new room was also ocean view, less the smell - initially. The beds were old and stiff, and the room was tight. AC threw off a bad smell. No wifi in room, so we had […] to spend much time looking at destinations and emailing down by their main office. I had to work while on vacation, so spent much time down there. A couple days on, apparently the wind shifted, as a crazy horrible smell came from our bathroom again, from the sewer pipes. the owner said that was normal, and nothing we could do about it. so we had to bare the next 2 days in an awful smelling room. Breakfast was typical, but i was very jealous of the next hotel over with a much nicer spread. The bathroom was kind of gross, as the whole thing got soaked when taking a shower, which made it feel even worse. Another horrible point is we were there for 4 days, and they never changed our sheets! The only soap in the room for shampoo, body, or anything, was a little pump soap on the sink. Overall, this is an inexpensive place for the budget traveler, but don't expect anything too nice and high quality here, beyond how nice the workers were. The owner was a super nice guy. Read more

Best vacation ever!!! On the best part of Kamari Beach, restaurants everywhere...location, location, location!!!! Couldn't have chosen a better pleace! The staff was the owner and his wife and his daughters best friend Kaley(think spelledi it right_)...owner picked us up from airport and we were greeted very nicely Kaley. I was carrying my 20 month […] old so she helped my husband with the luggage! Amazing staff, breakfast was delicious and they treated my daughter like a princess, called her by her name...they'd give her fruits and pieces of cake throughout the day and made her little toys...she loved it...very helpful when deciding where to go in Santorini...feels like you're right at home...No TV which is great because there's so much to do on the Island!! At night we hung out by the bar with the owners and other guests and kids in the hotel...everyone was sooo nice on the island but you have to stay here because service was exceptional...this trip was beyond our expectations!!! Boathouse we will miss you but we will be back...thanks for a lifetime memory!!! Read more

We cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Awesome rooms, cozy pool and great location. The staff was friendly and helped us getting to the port at the end of our stay. Great value.

This was our first stay at the Boathouse and we were thrilled with the beach location. The small town was comfortable for walking about at anytime day or night. Our room was very clean and breakfast was solidly good, the pool clean and enjoyable.

This hotel is in a great location gorgeous sunrises. We loved the breakfast every morning, and the staff and owner were fantastic. The nearby resturants and taverns are a little loud at night but not so loud you can't fall asleep. The pool is a good size and very clean, there were not many chairs by the pool, but thankfully we didn't have any trouble […] finding a spot each day. The hotel is run on a solar water system, so take your shower in the afternoon and the water is great (morning showers are not warm). The showers are just a free standing shower curtain with a drain, but this is common in European hotels (don't put your clean clothes on the floor because they will get wet). The rooms on the second floor with a view are fantastic. The hotel has Air conditioning, which was great for siestas, and jet leg. Read more

The owners were kind and welcoming. We were treated as if we were the first guests they'd ever had. They were genuinely interested in making our stay wonderful. I never once felt that we were one in an ,"assembly line of tourists' who arrive there, although they do stay booked. The breakfast buffet was full of variety. The hotel location was perfect. […] We were right on the beach, close to great resturants, and could easily plan day excursions to see the other parts of the island. Read more

Whilst the location is good the hotel is a little tired looking. The breakfast is quite good but a week of bacon and chipolotas leaves one yearning for beans on toast.

On the outside this hotel looks perfect and when we first entered our room, it seemed perfect too. We were given the family room with a sea view which was amazing. Also, the owners and staff were very polite and accomodating and they picked us up from the port and drove us there without any charge. The rides were very much appreciated and were a big […] plus to staying here. The location is very good, right across from the beach and the pool is very clean and really nice ot enjoy. The bed was comfortable but there are no T.V.'s in the rooms. Unfortunately, we had very uncomfortable cold showers every morning because their water system is heated by solar power. So, the hotel has abundant hot water bewteen 10am and 6pm when it is 30 degrees outside - because that's when you want hot water. I told Diane about the water issue and she did nothing to address it nor did she apologize for it. We've never stayed in a hotel that could not deliver hot water in the morning, not in 2012 anyway, perhaps a hostel though. Further, we like having air coniditioning but it is placed at head level beside the bed which made us freeze so we had to move the furniture around so we could sleep. We stayed here for 3 nights but unfortunately we would pick another place to stay if we stayed in Santorini again - one that could provide the basics like hot water. There are many many hotels to choose from in Santorini that provide the same ammenities as the Boathouse. Read more

We spent a wonderful 5 nights at the Boathouse Hotel - the family who run the place were very welcoming & answered all our questions patiently, as well as recommending excellent restaurants nearby. The room are clean but basic - no television in the room, which was not a problem since we spent all our time at the beach. They are currently renovating […] the rooms & we were in an older room, so I expect the hotel to get a 5 rating on my next visit! Read more

The Boathouse Studios have everything. Quiet but great location, 2 mins walk to Kamari seafront. Clean, friendly staff. Maria the owner seemed to be around 24/7 and nothing is too much for her. We went with a small baby and the room door was literally 1metre from poolside so our baby could nap in the cool air con room whilst we enjoyed the sun and pool. […] Room 3 is excellent for those with babies or small kids that take daytime naps. Nothing was too much for them. A brand new travel cot was waiting as requested on arrival, as was a high chair. Over the week cute baby things like a pink cushion and a pink rug appeared in our room. Little touches and very thoughtful. We would definitely go back. Fantastic VFM!!!!! Read more

My Girlfriend and I were attending a wedding on Santorini and so we were looking into accommodation on the island when we stumbled across the Boat House. Some of the other wedding guests had booked through a travel agent but were also staying near by. We decided to chance going it alone. When we arrived we saw that the hotel is beautifully located […] right at the beach front and we were met by the owners as we walked into the property. They informed us that we had been given a free upgrade and now had a larger room that had a balcony looking right onto the beach. The room was very clean and was serviced every day. The breakfast was quite comprehensive for a continental style, but does get a little boring after a week. The best part of this hotel is the friendly staff and owners. They were probably the most friendly people in that position I have ever come across. The owners are full of local info and are ready to assist you when planning an excursion. They have links to car/quad rental and even drove us back to the Airport. I really enjoyed my stay at the boat house and would return there happily. Siema Basia! Read more

I had the most amazing stay at the Boathouse! We were a large group travelling for a wedding and all of us had a excellent time. The staff were super helpful and friendly.

Spiros & staff extremely helpful. Always willing to do anything for you. Basic accommodation but cleaned & towels changed everyday. Spiros the owner picked us up from airport.

Easy check-in and check-out. Great breakfast and was served at a good time (8-10a.m.). Pool was clean. Hotel was right on the beach strip with stores and restaurants.

Il Boat House è un hotel davvero molto grazioso, con una bella piscina e situato in un'ottima posizione, le camere vengono pulite tutti i giorni e sono dotate di tutti i comfort: aria condizionata e frigorifero peccato solo per il bagno che era un po' trascurato. Il personale è cortese e disponibile, la colazione è abbondante, consigliato!

Etter å ha lest så mye positivt skjønner jeg ingen ting! Punkt 1: du kan like godt ta med lakenet ut på rullebanen å sove. Punkt 2: de ansatte var sure og aldri til stedet, kom å skulle sjekke inn og ingen der. Punkt 3: aircondotion funket ikke! Punkt 4|: rommene var veldig gammeldagse og slitene. Veldig lytt.

Genuine Expedia guest review

L'hotel si trova sul fronte Nord del lungomare di Kamari, praticamente sul mare: la location è quindi molto comoda. Ad ogni modo l'aeroporto è proprio alle spalle e dunque si sente durante il giorno il rullio degli aerei (la mattina presto o nel primo pomeriggio però non ricordo rumori molesti). I proprietari sono molto cordiali e se lo chiedete vi […] vengono a prendere all'aeroporto (altrimenti sono 20 euro di taxi). La colazione è a buffet, non eccezionale, ma vario. Noi eravamo nelle camere e ognuna ha un balconcino; non c'è TV, ma troverete un piccolo frigo con freezer in stanza. Credo che gli Studios fossero più nuovi e accoglienti, ma la camera è accettabile. Non vengono ospitati molti italiani e c'è una piacevole e discreta presenza straniera. Per noi l'hotel era solo di appoggio per dormirci ed è andato benissimo: insomma credo sia un buon compromesso qualità/prezzo in un'isola che nelle location più panoramiche è molto cara. Kamari è un bel centro con un lungomare ricco di locali; in quad poi ci si sposta velocemente per l'isola. IL fondale davanti all'albergo è scomodo perchè in mare c'è roccia scivolosa, ma la spiaggia è di ciottoli e ci sono ombrelloni e lettini a prezzi minimi. I prezzi dei Locali sono accettabili se si sa scegliere la location: abbimo cercato di mangiare cibi locali e ci siamo trovati sempre bene. L'isola è splendida soprattutto per i panorami: va assolutamente vista. Kalispera a tutti, M Read more

Il punto forza di questo hotel è la posizione perchè è a 2 passi dai numerosi bar, ristoranti, negozi di kamari e da una bella spiaggia di piccoli sassi attrezzata con ombrelloni e lettini che si possono affittare dai 5 ai 7-8 euro al giorno.

L'arredamento delle camere è semplice ma funzionale, l'unica pecca a mio parere è la doccia: piccola e chiusa da una tenda, quindi un pò scomoda.

als Hotel würde ich es nicht bezeichnen, es gibt 12 Zimmer, Frühstück ist auf einem Tisch neben der Rezeption aufgebaut, man nimmt es sich dann mit raus auf die Poolterasse und es wird gerne gesehen, wenn man sein Geschirr dann auch wieder in die Küche zurückbringt. Im Besitz der Eigentümer sind noch 2 nahegelegene Restaurants wovon man sich über die […] Poolbar Mittags oder auch abends etwas zu essen bestellen kann. Die Zimmer sind einfach, TV gibt es nicht, aber ein Föhn liegt im Schrank. Angenehm ist der im Preis schon enthaltene Zimmersafe. Das Bad ist klein und die Dusche noch kleiner, der Duschvorhang klebt einem ständig am Körper und das Bad wird regelmässig überschwemmt, aber immerhin in der Bodenmitte findet sich ein Abfluss. Warmes Wasser gibt es laut schriftlichem Hinweis nur von 10-22Uhr (Solaranlage), Pech für diejenigen, die morgens gerne früh duschen um dann zu Unternehmungen aufzubrechen. Für den Preis kann man auch in ein richtiges Hotel gehen, wo das Bad vielleicht etwas größer ist, man morgens schon warmes Wasser hat und auch sonst etwas mehr Komfort gibt. Read more
