it is a very spartan accomodation. not a hotel as listed, a guest house on a farm property. it is not where directions take you to. this is a know issue and it is incomprehensible why this has not been corrected.

Absolutely perfect location ,close to Sparta and Mystras . Property located in oranges orchard with beautiful view of mountains.
The only one minus- shower /toilet combo, which is very small.There is no front desk, to get key instruction you have to call owner.But view was worth it!

There was a heat wave and there was no air conditioner in the apartment. It was too hot to stay there.

Wrong address
Posted 24 Apr 2024 on HotelsThe address provided is a private residence. I looked around and could not find the place. I wound up walking around and found another hotel to stay in for the night.

Simply Amazing - best stay I've had!
Posted 13 Mar 2024 on HotelsThis was the best stay I had on my trip. Pristine silence and fresh air, and a small heating unit makes the room cozy. Comfy bed, pillows, and blankets. It's "minimal"... but really it has everything you need and more...
Nikos was nice, communicative (over phone), and recommended a *great* local restaurant... 'En Chatipi'
If you plan right and leave the heater on while showering, you can squeeze 12 minutes of steaming hot water.
There's no wifi, but the place gets cell service. I did all my wifi things in town after dinner
I visited in March and the oranges outside were ripe and delicious
Thank you Nikos

One really needs to include the word “lodge” in the directions, otherwise you will end up twice in the wrong place, and locals will tell you Taygetos is, in fact, the mountain. Once you’re on the property, it’s BEAUTIFUL! You’re in the middle of an orchard and the views are breathtaking. It’s like you’re actually living in Greece because it’s not commercial at all. The place is clean and bug free. We stayed on the top floor and it was quiet, so quiet that when a squirrel goes across the roof you think someone is outside, trust me, don’t try to pull up the blinds, though, they may be better attached when you arrive. The furnishings are spartan, (get it?), but you will be going into town, so you won’t need a TV (you’ll live). It’s about a 15 minute walk to downtown, but it’s a nice walk. The shower is a wet bath, so you can check off two tasks at once. The bed was comfy, even for tall people, and an extra heater was in the room. The owner was communicative, though his English was way better than my Greek, we still had a barrier; which brings me back to the beginning of the review.

Address listed- wrong- had to call owner to be told correct one. No lights when arrived at property. Small, flimsy sheets/blanket/towel. Water from bathroom went down to kitchen/bedroom. Bathroom small. Not much toilet paper

Dear Kathy,We are so sorry for the negative experience you had at our property. We have to admit that we are constantly trying to improve the services we offer to our customers. The address listed on the platform is more than accurate. There are thousands of people who have visited us without any problem finding the accommodation. After all, as soon as you contacted us, we pointed you in the direction you should go. During the night, there is sufficient lighting from the lights of the municipality. The apartment you stayed in is only 20 sq.m. while the linens we use are spotlessly clean and of excellent quality. If you are not careful during the shower there is a possibility that the water will come out of the bathroom. The bathroom occupies the maximum possible space in a 20 sq.m. apartment. Sufficient toilet paper is always available. You could discuss all the things that troubled you during your stay at the site, with us, so that they could be diagnosed and dealt with competently. In any case, we are waiting for you again to see firsthand the continuous effort we make to improve the accommodation.Sincerely Yours,Factory Management Team.

An appropriately spartan place but pleasant
Posted 21 Nov 2021 on HotelsThis is a nice self contained apartment with stunning views and a beautiful yard. The area was quiet apart from the neighbourhood dogs. Its close to the main street of the city and the major attractions. My only issue would be that it is advertised as having cooking facilities but it doesnt but thats not a big deal with so many options nearby.

Deceptive. Impossible to shower. Go elsewhere.
Posted 25 Sep 2020 on HotelsThe only good thing was the bed seemed clean and there were plenty of electrical sockets.
I was greeted by used toilet paper unflushed in the toilet.
Impossible to shower here with or without hot water. The throughput is so low you have trouble washing your hands, let alone your body. The strange thing is that the kichen sink has plenty of water pressure, including hot water.
There is no bathroom sink. The sink is where you wash the dishes. No mirror in the bathroom either.
It's advertised as having a Kitchenette. There's nothing to warm any food. Not even a kettle.
It also advertises "Premium bedding". The top sheet was the thinnest I've seen in my life and definitely had nothing premium about it. There were no blankets.
"rainfall showerhead": It's a regular showerhead and again, showering is an impossibility due to almost no water.
"Full-sized refrigerator": It's a mini-fridge. It was so cold it froze a water bottle solid overnight.
There is some leakage from the roof and the walls have the water stains to prove it (see my pictures).
Finally, it isn't advertised, but no WiFi.
I know this place is not expensive but it's no excuse since I actually came from cheaper places that put this one to shame.
The cherry on top was being asked at 8:40 when I was leaving when the checkout time was 11:00.
All communication by in app messages, but remember, no WiFi.
30 minutes on foot from the bus station and to the attractions.
Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Dear Sir/Madame,
First and foremost you did not write when exactly you visited Taygetos and your name and surname. We are truly sorry for the unpleasant experience you had during your stay at our accommodation. We were surprised to read your review. At no point in your stay did you mention any problems with the cleanliness of the apartment. We could certainly have diagnosed them and resolved them. When expecting guests we are assured of the cleanliness of the WC, the fresh linen and generally the hygiene of the area. As far as the equipment of this accommodation is concerned, it is fully in line with the price we have. Our main aim is to provide the customer with an extremely low price in combination with basic amenities. After all, the shower is actually limited but fitted in such a small compartment. As you can easily realize, it is not always easy for the owner to be present in the accommodation so as to accommodate guests. Especially when there is no exact time of arrival. But we need to say that we had sent you in advance the exact coordinates of the accommodation and a number of useful details for your comfortable check-in. Moreover, there is no mention in the description of the accommodation of a fully equipped kitchen. Definitely there is no leakage from the roof and the walls have no water stains. It is true, there is no WiFi yet but there will be soon. Never ever any visitor is asked when he is leaving as the checkout time is at 11:00, as mentioned at the rules of the accommodation. In any case we expect you to visit us again so that you can enjoy our improved hospitality. Every review of the customers is taken very seriously on our behalf.
Sincerely yours,
Taygetos Management Team.
