    Would have been better to have more information on how to check in, although a member of staff at the Glyfa Taverna very kindly helped. More information about things to do and see in local area would have been helpful. The location and terrain could have been better... the hill down to the apartment was steep and uneven. Also would have been good to have an on site supermarket. The walk to the supermarket in Barbati was on a busy main road with no pavement and felt unsafe. There wee buses however but not too frequent albeit a good service. Would have preferred a balcony and nit a terrace. Also a view other than a wall would have been good.

    Comfortable modern apartment. The cleaning staff exceptional. Cleaned every 2 days with fresh towels to a high standard.

    Sadly the aircon did not work… I spoke to the owner/manager three times but nothing happened and we were BOILING…. I literally slept for two hours and it really impacted on the next day… We were a late arrival but I had let the property manager know about this before,and asked him to let me know the number of the apartment, which he did not do which was the first phone call. The next two phone calls were about the aircon…. It was disappointing and I will book somewhere in future which has on site reception.

    This is a good location and we have stayed for a night once before

    Top position. Easy to find. Someboby even speak italian during the calling in the self check-in moment. Good and clean swimming pool. Cleaning service every day. Very good reastaurant close to the apartment.

    When we arrived it was 40 Celsius and there was no air conditioning turned on. After a delayed flight and late arrival we had to call someone in to get them functioning properly at midnight. They did and after that all was well. Parking was challenging with not enough spaces for the amount of guests but we got creative.

    The beach was very nice, having the restaurant there was convenient and the rooms were nice and simple. The pool was a nice addition for cooling off if you didn't feel like going to the ocean to swim.

    Although the location is on a beautiful beach there’s pretty much nothing else nearby but if you just want to relax then this is a perfect location. 20mins walk to nearest shop just to get water. beds were very uncomfortable.

    The views from the apartment. The swimming pool. the beautiful beach at the bottom of the steps. Very clean. Lovely Teverna next door. Accommodated my baby needs.

    It was unclear how to get the keys and then how to check out. The receptionist wasn't answering their phone so we didn't know how to check out.

    The property had a nice view of the sea and a nice peaceful beach right below. There is a tavern right next door with amazing seafood as well.

    I didn’t have good service inside the room. also with it being far from everything you only have the restaurant next door for food. so I recommend bringing food. the closest night life area is ipsos. it’s about a 15 minute drive. if you don’t rent a car prepare to spend a lot on taxis

    beautiful views and quiet nice restaurant next door for food and private beach access

    Overall everything was good but if i have to be critical i would say : 1. There is no reception there, although someone is always recheable by phone. We recieved only 1 key for 2 people. The key needed to stay in the room if we wanted to have electricity . But the door once closed locked itself automatically. In my opinion in these conditions it would have been impossible not to lock yourself out at least one time. Normally you have 2 keys. This happenned to us at 10 pm and they asked for 50 euro to come unlock the door. Since we had only 1 key i was pretty angry. Luckily we were on the ground floor and i could slide open the mosquito net and enter the room . 2. Our studio was spacious and nice but i don't think it is quite 50 m2. More like 35-40 m2 in my opinion. The bathroom is small and kind of old . 3. Only 3-4 parking spots and sometimes there was nowhere to park unless i blocked other cars 4 if you have no car you need to walk like 20 minutes until you arrive to the main zone in Barbati where the beach also is

    The location is beautiful, the rooms are spacious, the view from the pool is lovely and it is nice that there is a small beach and taverna right near the apartments . If you have an apartment and not a studio you also have a beautiful view from the room. The cleaning lady changed the sheets and the towels regularly and was very helpful with everything we asked for !

    Nothing, everything was perfect Weather, strong rains and wind. Problems with WiFi first days, stuff solve it.

    Perfect location. Quiet and very clean place with fantastic sea view. Staff who cleaned for us - 2 ladies was lovely, friendly and helpful, especially Nata! 😊 We love Corfu and know island very well, it was my 15 visit to Corfu, but it was even better then usual. We had a great stay I highly recommend apartments and villas.

    Our apartment was not sea view, as we paid for. It was wall view. Because it is on the back of another block of apartments. WiFi in the apartment doesn't work well. Our room was very noisy because just close to the main, very busy, road. The bathroom very basic, without shelf or other holders where putting products.

    Every day cleaning.

    The air con in the bedroom worked, but it wouldn't get as cool as I would have liked. The air con downstairs was really good though. We were a little too far out from the local village, and the lack of pavements made walking difficult.

    The hand over of the keys; the apartment was beautifully clean, and was cleaned during our stay to a very high standard. The view was great, and the pool was lovely.

    A great place, but perhaps a good while ago. In need of a revamp now.

    Unfortunately, the apartment, though clean, was in rather bad shape and definitely requires a revamp. The fridge-freezer was old, lacked shelves, and the freezing unit was almost completely frosted. There were small ants running continuously on the kitchen top. The oven-grill was old and rusted on the outside. The double bed in the master bedroom upstairs was essentially two single beds pulled together with a break in the middle. Worst of all, the air-conditioning units were not only old (with plastic yellow from age), but refused to work (first the unit downstairs, then, on the second night, the unit upstairs). It made our nights difficult to bear (the apartment no. 1 where we stayed is just next to a busy coastal road - opening windows meant constant noise from the road). We appreciated that, to make up for our difficult stay, the manager moved us for our last night to a neighbouring property of higher standard and with working A/C. We were very grateful for that, nonetheless, we feel that Glyfa apartments did not live up to what it promised on Booking.com.

    The beach at the bottom of the steps was lovely - sunbeds were available, the water was crystal-clear, and the beach was uncrowded.
