Booked in for 4 nights and so glad we did from Nina and Nana to Janet then Yanni and Daphne the owners with all of their knowledge on the Island. No wonder everyone wants to come back!! We do and we live in Australia just the most relaxing place and as many reviews say basic but perfect. Local buses which... More

Very charming, situated almost on the beach far form the bustling tourist area. Wonderful breakfast served outside under the olive trees. Clean, simple rooms with a balcony. Not extravagant or luxurious, but a wonderful atmosphere. Very friendly and dedicated staff. Tranquile. Dinner served twice a week, homemade and delicious. A small town nearby with some reastaurants serving traditional, simple food.

Boy has this place delivered more than we expected. I hadn't realised when I booked what the set up was. This is the most remarkable hotel I have ever stayed in. So original in its concept. A hotel with real atmosphere, run by thoughtful, intelligent, cultured people with passion. If you want a clinical experience with medically subdued staff ,... More

We booked this hotel on the basis of reviews we read on Tripadvisor. We were very pleased with the location, which was right on the beach and great views out to the sea. We also enjoyed delicious breakfasts sitting under the olive trees in the garden. We were also made to feel welcome although we did not receive the legendary... More

I spoke with ATBW during the walk (it was announced as little walk/stroll - not a tour) and he was very pleased from the walk and impressed from the beauty of the landscape and the little destination town Agioassos.  The beauty of the landscape, the gorgeousness of the village made that little walk for me unforgettable. In particular the explanations... More

We had a wonderful time in Votsala with tentatious deep experiences and were very quickly completely relaxed thanks to the honest and warmhearted atmosphere that the owners family and stuff create. Especially we enjoyed also the walks and tours around the island, which are far away from well known tourist entertainment, but lead to hidden marvellous places, offer very differentiated... More

We stayed for 5 night during July in an incredibly hot room. We had the ceiling and portable fans running, took quick, cold showers before getting into bed but these were insufficient (and I'm from Texas). Still the food, Aegean water & boats were lovely. Avoid the walking Mt Olympus walking "tour". The proceeds (13/person) are supposed to be given... More

My wife and I wanted to immerse ourselves in Real Greek Life and history. We found it at Hotel Votsala on the non-touristy island of Lesbos. You become a part of the hotel owner's extended family when you stay here. What hotel owner wakes up early Saturday morning to hug you and wish you well in your journey back home?... More

Our third visit to the Votsala, this time accompanied by an eleven year old and his granny, grandad and a friend (another old friend of the Votsala). The breakfasts alone are worth the trip - something for everyone, and everything done well. Consumed in the beautiful garden by the sea, what more could you want? A little ping pong? a... More
