Everything was done with so much intention and care — they truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and looked after. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a welcome drink and surprised with an upgrade to a suite with a hot tub! And that was just the beginning. We were treated to complimentary wine and a free 20-minute couples massage and private hour to use the spa to ourselves. The continental breakfast was delicious, the pool area was pure bliss, and the dinner was absolutely incredible. We loved our stay at Koia and already dreaming of coming back!

My husband and I stayed at Lango Design Hotel & Spa in Kos from July 7th to July 9th, booking through Booking.com, and it was truly one of the best vacation experiences we’ve ever had. The hotel is perfectly located in the Lambi Beach area, just a short 10-minute drive from the Ferry Port and literally steps away from the sea—separated only by a quiet road. We arranged our transfer through the hotel, and the warm and friendly front desk team greeted us with big smiles. To our delight, they surprised us with a complimentary upgrade to Room 105—the only room with a private pool and direct sea view. The room was absolutely beautiful, and the private pool was a lifesaver during the hot days we spent on the island. We also enjoyed relaxing on the balcony overlooking the sparkling sea—simply magical. One of the highlights of our stay was dining at Koan, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant for 2025. We had an incredible dinner with live music, exceptional service, and delicious fusion seafood mezes alongside unique and flavorful dishes. The restaurant’s atmosphere, combined with the staff’s warmth, made it an unforgettable evening. Special thanks to Alexandra, the restaurant manager, who was outstanding—always smiling, polite, and full of great recommendations. The hotel’s breakfast buffet was equally impressive, with an incredible variety that catered to every taste and dietary need. From cheeses, charcuterie, and traditional Greek specialties to niche products like thyme honey, locust tree honey, and chestnut honey—it was beyond expectations. They even offered almond milk cappuccinos, kefir, fresh fruit, and healthy oatmeal options. The attention to guests’ allergies and dietary preferences was impeccable. We also enjoyed tasting local Kos wines—affordable and delicious—and spent time at the hotel’s beautifully designed spa and public pool area. The entire hotel is adults-only, which added to the serene and sophisticated atmosphere.

FAQs about hotels in Kos

A Cultural Crossroad

Birthplace of the father of medicine, Hippocrates, Kos is the 3rd largest island of the Dodecanese. Located in the south Aegean region, this green island has a temperate climate, palm tree-lined avenues, and crystalline blue waters, all accessible by bike.

Featuring a great selection of 5-star hotels and all inclusive resorts, Kos is a tourist and cultural gem with long hours of sunshine and intense nightlife. Kardamena is a popular resort for young holidaymakers, offering a large number of bars and nightclubs.

Founded in 366 BC, Kos Town is home of the imposing medieval Castle of the Knights of Saint John. The traditional village of Afsendiou is a stunning paradise with narrow alleys and spring waters. Another must-see is the picturesque village of Antimachia, with the Venetian castle and the original windmills.

Kefalos village is home of one of the most magnificent Kos beaches, as well as the iconic small island of Kastri. If you are travelling with kids, do not miss Tigaki, a long sandy beach with shallow waters and sun loungers. Savour fresh fish in Mastichari, while enjoying the majestic view of the port.

Booking.com provides everything from hotels and apartments to guest houses, including some near Kos Airport, the second closest airport to Bodrum.

It's a beautiful hotel with comfortable rooms and great staff. I want to thank Fatma our guest relation manager for helping us with everything we needed. We came early and while waiting for our room we could use all the facilities including a rich breakfast. The food was good and had everything you needed. The beach was calm and had a great cool breeze. It' has some small rocks so take a sea shoe with you. After a few meters of rocks it's all sand.. but that was our favorite spot. The Beach bard had some drinks and it was chill. There is an adult pool which is a plus if you want to stay away from children and the crowd.

Everything was amazing. Right from the hospitality of the staff at the reception, the folks in the dining area, and everyone. The view from the balcony was amazing. It allowed us to even take part in the night events straight out of our balcony. The location of this hotel is still good given how scarce public transport can be and even at times the availability of taxis. It's about a 5km walk to Kos Town and largely flat. The spread of breakfast and dinner is also amazing, there's more or less something for everyone with ample options for vegetarians as well.

It was an amazing hotel. No need for fancy words, they have all kinds of things that a hotel has to have. Several pools, an adult-only area including a pool, they have a beach (obviously), restaurants, a mini market, a gelateria, car rental options, their staff, especially at check-in, speaks several languages, including German, Russian, English pretty good breakfast. I didn't have a negative experience at the hotel. The room was def. better than my expectations. Love it every moment of it.

The facilities are amazing! The hotel is beautiful - the room, the gardens, the restaurant. Also, the hotel is big enough so you have privacy - which is also good for peace and quite. The beach area is excellent. All the staff is amazing (specially the ones that we got to talk to the most: Manos and Mika from the restaurant, Daniel from the reception and Vodini from Cleaning). The food of the restaurant is simply amazing (don't miss the Aegen seabass!!!).

The staff was amazing and always smiling. The hotel is truly child-friendly. Our room was very close to the restaurant and pools, which was great — but even if it wasn’t, there were buggies available. It was our first time traveling with a child and we felt so comfortable. A great value-for-money place.

Had a great stay at Anna Maria apartments & ate & drank in their bar, East Coast. Excellent customer service, the food & drinks were exceptional & special thanks to the boy with the beard (sorry I don’t know his name) he looked after us daily & was a credit to the staff. The apartments were very central & directly on the beach, Kardamena has a lot that offer, great bars & restaurants. Hopefully we’ll be back next year. We had an amazing time. Thanks so much 😀

Flight from ATH (Aegean Air) very good.

Flight from ATH (Aegean Air) very good. With luggage in-hand, we got in-line for a taxi to take us to lodging. Terrible experience. Must have been 35++ people in-line, A few taxis came initially. Wait was over 30 minutes. Standing in sun. It took a long time to get a taxi. Way to long. First impression of Kos, very poor. Then, our taxi driver could not find our lodging in the Kefalos area (think this was a rare event, as our lodging was NOT on the taxi drivers GPS display...???). Finally used Google Maps and that worked. Trip was off to poor start and never got better. Disappointed in Kos ground transportation. Have traveled a good number of the Greek Islands. This was the FIRST (Kos) that I would NOT return to.

It's a very small town, there isn't much to see or do. You can pretty much walk in two directions. But Tigaki is close, there's a bit more variety of restaurants and bars and cafes. The beach in Marmari is perfect though! And it's very safe and quiet. I would recommend renting a car anyway, because there's not much else to do and you will be more flexible that way. The sunsets in Marmari are very beautiful!

Loved walking around in the city center and having lunch here during the day, but we mostly had dinner along the beach. Lots of things to see, many boat trips (3 Island Trip with the Oddysey and Nisyros trip highly recommended). Beach: We loved going to Tarzan and using their sunbeds. Also recommend renting a bike and touring for a day. Number 1 restaurant: The Chasapaki

Mastichari is lovely!

Mastichari is lovely! It is a chilled Greek village beside a beach with a small terminal for ferries to / from Kalymnos, and a bus stop that will get you to Kos town or the airport. There is a nice variety of tavernas for traditional Greek food, and a handful of bars. Prices in Mastichari are much cheaper than in Kos town! There are a selection of shops that sell a mixture of groceries, booze, and souvenirs. If you need a big supermarket, head up the hill out of the village and you will come to Constantinos, which has everything you need. There's also plenty of places to hire cars etc. The beach is right beside the village. It is very chilled. There are no noisy bars churning out loud music, or noisy motorised watersports. There are some sunbeds, but the beach is not dominated by them. Most of the holiday makers we saw were, like us, middle aged or older (this is not a criticism!). If you are younger and / or want a lively nightlife, this village may not be for you. Everything is fairly flat (unless you go up that big hill above the village), but you will need to tackle a step or two to get into shops and tavernas. The smaller hotels here will have stairs, not lifts, so do your research if accessibility is an issue for you.
