Filerimos Village Hotel

Our stay was organised by the one of polish travel agencies in august’26. The flight was moved from the original time of around 2 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., so we arrived at the hotel at around 3 a.m. Fortunately, we were immediately assigned a room (bungalow). And then the first shock – the reception area was stuffy and smelled musty, and the receptionist took (!) everyone’s ID cards or passports (“because he had to enter everyone’s details”). This does not seem very safe and I do not know whether it is even legal. We had no choice and had to leave them there – we collected them in the morning after breakfast. As for the room – the bungalow is supposedly renovated (to a higher standard than the rooms in the main part). The bed linen and towels were clean. The towels were changed every day during our week-long stay. The bed linen was not changed even once – the beds were only made. The glass bathroom door was dirty when we arrived (including traces of toothpaste left by previous guests), and it remained dirty throughout the entire stay. There was no water in the mornings on 5 out of the 8 days of our stay. They have some tanks on the roofs which are clearly too small for the families occupying the rooms. The air conditioning is old. The 20–30-year-old units are noisy and smell musty. I could not sleep with them running at night, so it became very hot – opening the terrace door was a bit worrying because of mosquitoes or curious people. And the green alarm light shines so brightly at night that I had to cover it with a towel. The main bed is quite comfortable and large. The other two (we were a family of 2+2) were not really suitable for anything. In one of them, the separate parts kept sliding apart in different directions, and on the other one it was impossible to lie down because the wooden frame was covered with what seemed to be about 1 cm of foam, so you could feel every slat digging into your body. The entire property is clearly dirty – even though from time to time you can see someone sweeping or spraying water from a hose, this does not remove the old, ingrained dirt. There is also clearly a shortage of staff. For such a fairly large property, they could use about twice as many employees. Pools – there are 2 paddling pools for children where the water is quite cold. There is a large swimming pool (depth from 1.5 to 2.5 metres). It is not crowded, although in the morning some people reserve sun loungers for themselves and, despite signs prohibiting this, nobody supervises it. The second pool is a lazy river with a paddling pool and a children’s play set (slides and water sprays), as well as larger slides, located in another part of the hotel – with the entrance almost directly from the street. This part is OK, although layers of blue paint come off the bottom of the pools and sometimes float in the water. The pools are officially open until 6:00 p.m. Afterwards, chlorine is added to the water, which most guests do not know about because they ofte

This hotel needs some money spent updating. That said, our room was clean. Cleaned daily. Pool is deep in main pool but they do have kids pools. Drinks package is to me, what you'd expect at a low budget all inclusive. All staff where fab. No complaints. The star of the show, as many have said, is Eva in the ala cart bar. Amazing drinks. Top bants. Even took a playlist of tunes we like and then had them playing each night (every night) we went. What a lass. Also the the mini shop, all staff members Amazing in there. One in paticularly I hope to meet again! Our whole family enjoyed our time. For the price, you can't expect the ritz. But we all as a family found plenty to eat daily. I'd actually return. See you again!

The hotel was a great place for the family, the manager was extremely helpful as well as many of the other staff , Eva at the night bar was very friendly and made the evenings very enjoyable and made incredible cocktails, The only downside was the one night Eva had off the staff who filled her place didn’t know how to make a cocktail correctly

Staff are lovely. Food is ok. Eva at the all inclusive bar was great! Always genuinly happy to see us. She made our holiday. Hotel in desparate need of an update throughout

Listen yeah..I’m a snob..so when I say I was actually surprised with this hotel - take my word for it huns! I’ll be real; reading all the Negative Nancies had me WORRIED. Transfer from airport to hotel - 11 mins. I timed it! We arrived about 2pm. Staff on reception was nothing but lovely, put our bands on, rooms weren’t quite ready but he said come back in 30 mins. Go grab some lunch. We could leave our cases in a little room. True to his word, within 30 mins our rooms were ready. We stayed in ground floor rooms, very clean, yes basic but what more do you need when showering and sleeping there? Air con was brill - actually had to turn it down ! Cleaned daily and fresh towels daily. Now it’s not exactly sun bed wars, but do get up early and grab your beds; there are signs around the hotel that state reserving of sunbeds is not allowed - but this is not enforced at all. 3 pools round the snack bar area ; 1 x mini baby pool, 1 x shallow pool where activities take place and 1 x bigger pool which is deep all the way round - managed to teach our kids to dive properly so winner! The smaller pool is probably best for non strong swimmers. Lovely temperature to dip into and cool off. Snack bar was great, the lady serving drinks was just lovely, loved our kids! The chips are the best chips I’ve eaten in a long time !! Animation team were lovely, they do come and ask how you are and if you wanna join in, but they don’t mither; lovely people - simply just doing their job!! Water park - we didn’t lounge here, but kids loved the lazy river and the slides! We came everyday on an afternoon before it closed! Food - not bad but not amazing. We didn’t starve. Typical Greek authentic food, salads were lovely!! As with any AI it does get “samey” but we all found something to eat each day/night - the chocolate ice cream was lush! The staff in the restaurant/buffet worked their wotsits off ! Plates and cutlery were frequently empty..but no sooner were they being replenished again - some people needed to chill; on holiday huns! Entertainment - we didn’t see much of this as our kids were knackered by 9/9:30 so we’re off to bed anyway. One night we watched the Bruno Mars act , not bad tbf! Really engaging, decent singer. Who’s doesn’t love a bit of Bruno!! The lobby on an evening was nice to sit with a drink - cocktails were nice! If it was busy you could only grab 2 drinks at a time - which was fine, just queue up again huns. There is an A La Carte bar where you can pay for premium drinks/cocktails but we didn’t feel the need to do that! Cats - yes quite a few cats around the front of the hotel but they generally kept themselves to themselves; some children did pick them up and play with them; little kitten there was really cute. A cute addition really, and I don’t even like cats! All in all - I’d say this hotel is a 3* at best. It is what you make of it at the end of the day. For us, chilling round the pool and switching off for a week, it was fine. We

I have just returned from a stay at the Filerimos village with my family (partner, 8 year old and 17 year old). I must admit after reading the poor reviews prior to arriving, I was really worried. I think the bad reviews were very harsh. The hotel was clean and the floors were cleaned every day. We were offered a room clean every day with fresh towels, even tho we didn’t need it every day. The staff were very friendly, upon our arrival we got to the room and the air conditioning wasn’t working, we spoke to Stratos the concierge on reception and he advised that maintenance wasn’t available at that time as we arrived late, but he offered to check it out himself after his shift finished. Turned out, we turned the key in the wrong direction and the light needed to be off for the unit to work and not on…an easy mistake to make. But because of the inconvenience he agreed we could keep our wrist bands for the last day as we had a late check out. The pools were lovely and saw them being cleaned regularly too. The entertainment was a bit repetitive having the same activities during the day, however the entertainment staff were brilliant. The evening entertainment was ok too, but again a little repetitive. They did have Greek dancers one night and some singers another night, which we all enjoyed and they got the small crowd going. The stage area wasn’t really used apart from that one night the singers were on, and the mini disco (I think, as my boy didn’t want to go). There was a smell of sewage around by that area though, luckily we weren’t staying around by that area so didn’t affect us apart from walking to the pool. The water park was good and also clean, the sun loungers we not the best tho and were few and far between, but as we only spent a little bit of the day there, we put out belongings to one side and enjoyed the lazy river and slides. We also had to reserve beds early by the main pool each day. As the week went on though it did appear to get quieter and more loungers were available throughout the day. The only negative I would say is that the food wasn’t great. It was rather bland and very much the same food each day. We chose to eat out one night, but that’s only because it was my partners birthday. The snack bar had pizza and chips every day and some sandwiches occasionally. The choice of alcohol on the all inclusive was a good selection and very decent measures too. We walked to the beach a couple of nights to watch the sunset which was a short walk from the hotel. There wasn’t much around the hotel itself, but we took a bus to Rhodes a couple of times and was happy doing this. It is more like 3 star quality rather than 4. Over all we had a lovely family stay here. Hats off to the staff as they work very hard and long hours and were all very friendly ☺️

Their is a bad smell if faeces all over the resort. The food has given 3 out of 5 people in my family food poisoning. The beds are uncomfortable. The staff is friendly.

How this hotel is a 4 star is beyond me. It's a 2 star at a push! Felt stingy & cheap! Pool - Main pool is murky and algae all around of the edges of the pool. My children had there goggles with them to play in the pool, but complained couldn't see anything from how dirty the water was. Edge of the pool was sloped which is dangerous anyway, but it was also slimy from how dirty the water was & risk of slipping was high. Water park is fun for the kids and probably only pool that is slightly maintained. But the steps leading to the big slides could do with changing as some are loose. Room - You dont get fresh sheets daily on the beds. Towels either get taken & not replaced, leading to wasting time talking to reception. Or they are taken & replaced so that you have to share them. We had to wait 3 days for our shower to be fixed, slow water flow & no hot water. We had family who also stayed in the same hotel & we used there shower in the meantime. Although the reception team were quite happy for that to be the solution. There was a bright green light in the room & asked reception what it was, I just got a blank look. Would use a hand towel to cover it, because it would keep you awake most of the night. Air con unit is old and was leaking. Bathroom full of limescale & extremely dirty. Once the shower was fixed flow of the water was restricted from the amount of limescale. Breeding ground for Legionnaires disease if you ask me! Staff - Start with the good staff, lady at the Ala Carte Bar was lovely & lady who runs the pool bar offered great service. As for the rest there are rude and clearly have a disliking for Brits. Worse being the woman who runs the lobby bar by reception, she would serve other guests who were not Brits, 3 to 6 large drinks each despite rules being 2. We would be next in line to be served and would for 4 (2 for me and 2 for my partner) she would refuse & be given 2 drinks in small cups that are given to children. When I would politely ask for a large drink she would deliberately only fill it up by half. Speaking to other Brits whilst I was there and all said the same thing particularly about her. The man who worked with her was hit & miss, friendly one minute and rude the next. Shouting at guests to hurry in the queue. Food & Drink - Pizza & Fries at the snack bar is the only edible food! Food is so repetitive & meals that are grilled daily are undercooked. One of our group got food poisoning from being curious & trying other foods. In the end we would only eat egg on toast for breakfast (eggs are very greasy but just about edible), pizza & fries for lunch and would eat out at night because dinner time food selection was vile. Each day Spaghetti & bolognese that is oily and tasteless. Over cooked chips (probably refried from lunch/snack bar), salad that looked wilted & dirty, one day served stewed rabbit & octopus paella as the mains (who really wants to eat that on holiday in Greece!) Prior to going on holiday I was looking
