Kalimera, this was the greeting I received from the father every time I saw him, very sociable chap who tried to teach me greek. The hotel itself is spotless, maybe a little basic ,but greek basic, that's what we like about greece and that's why we stayed here. Now then, 3 generations of family also live in the hotel, you see them most days always with a smile and a greeting,,honestly we were blown away by the hospitality. The food mama makes is on a par ,if not better, than local tavernas, Nicholas, the main man, is the life and soul of the hotel, always smiling and greeting,asking if everything is ok, never met a more considerate,polite, genuine man, Would we return?? In a heartbeat,,,

“Amazing stay”

Just returned from Kalymnos for the third time. We don't usually go back to the same place again but Kalymnos is a truly wonderful location.

Just returned from Kalymnos for the third time. We don't usually go back to the same place again but Kalymnos is a truly wonderful location. The Myrties-Masouri location is in our opinion the best on the island. Kalymnos still holds the traditional Greek charm. It's a laid back relatively quiet area but there are plenty of great restaurants close by serving quality food. The locals are very friendly and great hosts. It's a little out of the main commercial area (about 10-15 minutes walk) but it's a very pretty walk and it makes it a quiet location. We have in the past been happy with where we have stayed, but the Philoxenia is by some distance the best yet. This is the first time we have actually met an owner and it's a real family run affair. The room we stayed in had an amazing view of the island of Telendos and was both comfortable and clean. When we return we will want to come back to stay here. Nikolas is a great host and is very well supported by his lovely family. The breakfast provided is excellent and they also serve food in the afternoon and evening which is of the highest quality and compares very well with the many other restaurants available. There is a fantastic deep swimming pool on site and plenty of sunbeds available. Nothing is too much for the staff at the Philoxenia and it is amazing value for money.

“2 week break august 2025”

Where to start, Nickolas and his amazing family made us feel like part of their family. Nothing was too much trouble and attention to detail was 1st class.

Where to start, Nickolas and his amazing family made us feel like part of their family. Nothing was too much trouble and attention to detail was 1st class. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, great pool for cooling off and plenty of shaded ares with sun loungers. Air conditioning was a godsend as the weather was extremely hot. The food was as good if not better than the local tavernas and restaurants, you don’t go hungry here. And last but not least, the incredible view and sunsets make this a special place. We will be definitely returning again.

“Wow... loved it.”

1st time to Kalymnos & we were a little apprehensive thinking we had made a mistake, a small resort with a lot a climbers ... would it be too quiet & boring? Absolutely not.. we loved it , so chilled with a scattering of bars & plenty of good tavernas with the bonus of the water taxi over to Tendal… lisää

1st time to Kalymnos & we were a little apprehensive thinking we had made a mistake, a small resort with a lot a climbers ... would it be too quiet & boring? Absolutely not.. we loved it , so chilled with a scattering of bars & plenty of good tavernas with the bonus of the water taxi over to Tendalos. Now for the best bit Hotel Philoxenia. What a fantastic place, very quaint, rooms are basic but perfectly functional ( if you want luxury & waterfall showers book a 4* ) !. Rooms cleaned regularly & to a high standard. Breakfast is basic, toast , pastries, fruit & greek yougurt, enough to set you up till lunchtime. Pool area is lovely & relaxing with different areas & choice of beds, pool itself is deep , a lovely temperature & very clean. Views over to Tendalos & the sunsets are amazing, we enjoyed pre dinner drinks sat on the terrace chatting to Nikolas & guests. The best part of this hotel is the lovely Nikolas & his family , his mums homemade meals were AMAZING & portions huge ! ( hubby said best Stiffado ever ! ) The whole family go out of their way to make your holiday the best experience. We have a few favourite Greek Islands we do like to go back to & this one & particularly this hotel has now been added to our list. Thank you Nik & family for your fantastic hospitality , we will be back 🥰 Happy to answer any questions.
