Malemi Organic Hotel

Just back from great fortnight at the Malmemi. After some issue with toilet on arrival we were offered chance to move rooms. This turned out to be an even nicer room with pool views. The Malemi sells itself as a traditional, family run hotel and delivers in spades. The whole family appear to be involved from George and Effi, daughter Micky and even 9 year old granddaughter Effi who works hard in pool bar. There is a small menagerie at back of hotel featuring a variety of animals and birds. Most of the vegetables served at dinner are homegrown. The food is very traditional home cooking and plentiful and very high quality, 20 minute walk to harbour with selection of tavernas and bars, couple of minimarts and bakers (which sells great selection of pies).Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break with a traditional, authentically Greek feel

Had a fabulous stay at the Malemi Hotel in Skala Kallonis. Really authentic greek hotel and staff could not have been more helpful, really made me welcome and one of the family. My room was spotless and comfortable. Short walk of around 5 minutes to the nearest taverna and shops. Would highly recommend if you want the true greek experience.

We had a most enjoyable stay. The staff are really welcoming, the accommodation spacious although the bathroom was a little tired and due a refurb but everything was very clean. Fridge, kettle and safe in the room. Meals were excellent both breakfast and dinner and even when there were only a few guests the choice at the buffet was excellent. It’s a10 minute walk along the front to the harbour similar to other hotels in distance. We would definitely consider a return .

It is a perfect place to enjoy the nature of Lesbos : centrally located and close to some of the best birding sites, along the beach of Skala Kalloni with the small village as well... The hotel's bedroom are confortable, and the staff , the family are all nice and friendly. The cuisine is local and well cooked. Totally recommend it.

We have had a week in the amazing Malemi Hotel in Skalla Kalloni. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the food is exceptional, both breakfast and dinner. The owner simply goes “the extra mile” to make sure your stay is perfect. Nothing is too much trouble and if you want a comfortable relaxing holiday look know further than the Malemi Hotel, you will not be disappointed 10/10

Different and interesting lots of rescued animals and birds to visit. Set in nice surroundings with well appointed rooms and a village and seashore near by, walking infact. Great staff Very traditional homemade food

The hotel is run by George, his wife Effy and his daughter Micky supported by friendly and efficient staff. All the rooms re comfortable but we generally upgrade to one of the suites - which we did again on our 5th stay this September. The Malemi has everything that you need for a relaxing holiday including a large swimming pool and a smaller shallow one for children, tennis courts, table tennis and two bars The food is fabulous with a wide and varied buffet breakfast and the evening meals ae also buffet style with masses to choose from and excellent quality. The herbs and many of the vegetables are grown organically by the hotel. At the rear of the hotel Dimitri (George and Effy's son in law) looks after a large collection of animals and birds - almost a zoo! The rooms are clean and bright and during our 2 week stay, the towels and bed linen was changed 6 times! The Malemi Hotel was the first hotel to cater for birdwatchers and general naturalists in Lesvos and remains the first choice. It is only 200 metres from the beach and within easy walking distance of Kalloni pool and the Christou estuary. The salt pans are a little further but still within walking distance.

Very nice hotel with delightful owners. Micky, the manageress, was especially helpful. The food is yummy with plenty of it, freshly cooked on site. Served as a buffet.. Packed lunch available on request. Room was fine with a comfy bed. Overall, excellent value for money.

Now on our last night, and what a great relaxing week we've had. This is a great place to relax and unwind. The pool is quite large with enough space for the sunloungers. There is a small bar next to the pool which serves most drinks you could possibly want. They had no Malibu when we asked, but within an hour there it was. Now that's service. Food. Pretty much all home produced from the smaller holding that the family owns. Really tasty dinners, different every night. Breakfast was more the usual cereal, breads, croissants, eggs, cooked ham, cheese, ham. The same every day, although you'd never go hungry. Room. Fairly comfortable. We were lucky as it was our wedding anniversary and we were upgraded to a larger room. An unexpected surprise was the free air-conditioning and the free safe in the room. Why can't all hotels have this? Owners/Staff. This is a family run concern. Young Micky seems to take on most of the responsibility on her broad shoulders, reception, life guard, bar tender, front of house, and does a fantastic job. Really nothing is too much trouble. Dad, George, tends to look after the admin side of things, but is always very welcoming. The grounds are well kept by the groundstaff. The family keep a number of animals on site, goats, horses, llama, deer, and many many caged birds. Location. As has previously been said, it is only 2/3 minutes walk to the beach and a further 6/7 to the village centre. Here you'll find a mini-market and 6 or 7 tavernas, and an ice cream parlour All in all we would highly recommend this hotel.
