To risk parroting other reviews; Lenaki is an amazing small apartment hotel complex ran by wonderful staff who are friendly and welcoming. It punches well above it's three star rating. The grounds are well kept and clean including the lovely pool. The apartments are well kept and clean. The food offering is all day long with everything through breakfast and snacks to full evening menu and very well stocked bar. All very affordable too, cheaper than town on the whole.

The location is around a 10 minute walk inland from the back / West of the town, which whilst info not think is a far walk (with most tourist accommodation being even further, just up on the back of Lambi beach) but this takes you out of the noisy hustle and bustle of town and into the countryside with far reaching views of the Koan mountains.

Supermarket and bars are very easy access on foot.

I can't praise Lenaki and it's staff enough, they have helped my family have a wonderful and relaxing stay near Kos town.

Late October 2024

Fantastic Rural Fringe of Town Hidden Gem.

So I’m a Crowne plaza luxury kind of girl but that isn’t my budget for a two week stay! 
I am struggling to understand all the really negative reviews. I stayed here last year and had a great experience. I found previous owners friendly enough, location was perfect for me 
So this year the complex is under new ownership. Still family run by Vasililis and Andriana (apologies for spellings). 
Upon arrival I was greeted with a welcome drink, paid my hotel tax and bought a pack of 6 one litre water bottles for €3. You will need to pay extra if you decide you need air conditioning. 
I had paid more for a larger room than last time (I’m autistic and previous year small shower with curtain that kept touching me freaked me out). I was glad to have the larger shower cubicle. 
So the apartments are basic and a bit dated. You have to remember it’s Greece and a budget apartment. You only
Have a double hob and sandwich toaster to prepare food but to be honest reasonably priced food available at the bar if you don’t eat out and a lovely bakery ten mins walk away! 
Apartments are lovely and clean, I notice touches for this year  that there are new shower curtains, new kettles, new sink drainer etc. my mattresses also looked brand new. 
My only complaints comfort wise are wishing I could have had a double bed rather than the two singles and yes there is a bit of an ant issue (couldn’t find anything in supermarket to deal with this) but that’s not uncommon abroad. 
I was in ground floor room 105. Not as nice a view as last year’s room but quick access to the pool. My balcony didn’t seem to catch sunlight, not an issue as I only sat there for a cuppa in the morning, a cuppa while getting ready to go to town at night and maybe a beer to chat with a friend a couple of nights.  My clothes still dried super quick when hung out. I also had lovely neighbours each side of me! 
Pool area is spotless. Lovely pool. New cushions on the sun loungers. More than enough loungers for the guests (bear in mind I arrived end of September). Yes the odd few do the old towel out at the crack of dawn but I never had issues getting a lounger. 
Bar is well stocked and very reasonably priced. 
Now on a night time or if out for a wander I eat out. However I had a good few lunches and breakfasts from the bar. Lovely selection of food, some great salad, pitta,hummus etc. good breakfasts choices. I was struggling with my IBS some days so had some lovely bowls of Greek yoghurt, honey, fruit and sprinkled with oat flakes. I didn’t eat evening meals there but other customers said the pizzas were great. I did try one on my last day for lunch and it was great and way too big for me to eat! 
Onto the staff, cleaners are great and friendly if you have time for a chat, Anna was  our main point of contact in the day time. She did a great job on the bar and cooking till Andriana got in. Anna was so friendly, bubbly and always smiling. We had some great laughs. Mehmet did the night time bar and also seemed friendly
Although I generally wasn’t at the bar on a night time. 
Andriana and Vasillis are warm and friendly and also can’t do enough to welcome you and help you. In fact I saw how kind they were to a lady whose friend was a nightmare and flew back home on day 2. They went above and beyond to look after the remaining lady who was unexpectedly alone!
As a solo, female traveller I felt so safe and welcome here. I have seen another female, solo traveller post that she did not feel safe which I can’t fathom. I’m a very anxious person but felt safe and relaxed. 
You are a 15 min walk from Kos town. I felt perfectly safe doing this walk late at night or early hours of morning. You are in a well lit, mostly residential area for most of the walk. Last few mins is bit of a dirt track with a couple of other hotels, gym, shop etc. it’s still decently lit and is pretty quiet save for others staying on the road walking down it. I felt safer walking here than I do in my home town! 
You are also a ten min walk from lambi beach area and a lot of other restaurants,shops and a great bakery!
For me the location is perfect. Close to get to town but a quieter area when you get back. 
Now the quiet does get shattered in some ways. Yes there are some cockerels who love to sing (I couldn’t hear them as much from this year’s room as I did last year). There also is entertainment some nights so yes some nights there was music till around midnight. Personally this didn’t bother me. At the end of the day not everyone leaves the apartment complex, some people don’t want to go to town so expect a bit of entertainment. Lenaki obviously want customers to spend money at their bar on an evening so need to attract people to stay. 
Most nights music was finished by the time I got home,the evenings I was home early I still dropped off to sleep. 
Bear in mind this is the first year under new ownership so they will be learning to judge what the majority of their customers want. 
I believe there are renovations planned to bring the e apartments up to date. This will be great but I hope doesn’t move them out of the budget friendly price range. 
Personally in spite of me being a bit of a princess I can’t fault Lenaki. Great value for money and it’s absolutely a home away from home for me. I feel so relaxed and welcome there. 
After two visits I’m ready to do a holiday in a different country next year, but I will definitely be back again to lenaki in the future.

A much needed relaxing break in place with warm, friendly atmosphere.

This was my first summer holiday since 2008 and my first ever solo trip abroad. I was quite nervous about this but my travel agent used to rep in Kos and recommended these apartments and Kos town. She recommended Lenaki as it is family run and she felt I would feel safe here.
Now I haven't stayed in an apartment since 2008 and I am more used to City breaks in hotels, so it was a bit of a culture shock at first. 
For  self catering accommodation facilities were very lilted. A tiny two ring plug in hob and a toaster. No oven and no sharp knives, limited cutlery. Since looking online I see this is pretty much the norm now.
The insides yes are a little dates and could do with upgrading.However the apartment was clean and  I was overjoyed as a solo traveler to have a 1 bedroom apartment not a studio. I would have preferred to have towel change daily but again I am used to hotels, more regular sheet change would again be preferable in the heat but it wasn't a deal breaker. 
Now onto the real positives. It is a 15-20 min walk to town or the beach. For me this was perfect you are on a quiet road out of town close to a few other hotels and apartments. So no excessive traffic noise or drunk revelers. For me this encouraged me to have a daily walk, one day i even did 20km going off to see the sights. I also felt extremely safe here. At first I was worried about walking alone at night but actually I felt very safe (and staff told me it wasn't an area I had to worry about being attacked etc). I found the staff to be lovely and friendly, especially as I was on my own and I would often sit at the bar and chat a while. I did also find the owners friendly. Their son speaks the best English and was very chatty but the owners do chat to you if you make an effort (just remember their English is limited they are far from rude). Some of the rules yes may seem harsh regarding food, drinks but they are a tiny family business trying to make a living in an industry dominated by large companies. In fact apparently there are very few small family run apartments left and they apparently are paid pretty poor rates from the holiday companies. I don't begrudge them needing people to buy food and drinks for them ( the aircon yes I would disagree regarding needing to pay that).To me drink prices were fair and I was happy to pay £7- £8 euros for a salad for lunch and buy a couple of drinks each day ( and I was on a very tight budget).
I actually got chatting to people who holiday there very regularly and say they feel like family. 
I can see why. This holiday was so important to me as I was ill and run down and needed to relax. I have never felt so chilled in my life and I felt very welcome there.
So in conclusion, they are not luxury apartments. You are in Greece staying in a budget apartment and to be fair I have stayed in some grubbier Chain hotels in England. If you go there not expecting luxury and you make an effort so support them buy buying some snacks and drinks and also make an effort to be friendly with them then they will be warm and friendly back.
I enjoyed this holiday so much that I intend to return next year.
 

In a quiet area. 20mins walk to Kos Town front. 15 to beach.Family run. Clean if somewhat dated rooms. Air con and safes cost extra.There were reviews saying family were less friendly to guests that didnt spend their time n money at the pool. We didnt experience this. We were at beach or exploring every day...but found the staff always friendly and helpful.

Good value accomodation

Great place and location, is prefect for exploring Kos town. 
Had a lovely week at the Lenak Apts, as it was coming to the end of the summer the place was quiet which was perfect. 
Stamatis and all the staff were friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble.

Get yourself a safety deposit box from reception/bar. You have access to it anytime of the day. 
Packs of large bottled water are available too, which saves you carrying from the supermarket which is 5/10 minutes walk towards the town.  You'll get everything there. 

Thank you for a lovely week. 

Perfect get away from the crowds 

We are having a fantastic time here, the owners are superb nothing is to much trouble and I mean nothing. 
Unfortunately I got a bad infection from a mosquito bite, needing hospital visit. 
Maria orderd a taxi to get us there and translated pills for me. 
Really felt at ease and looked after as it's scary being unwell in a foreign country. 
The apartments are lovely everything you need to self cater, but with fantastic food at pool bar and excellent prices we didn't cook that often. 
It's a fair walk to tavernas fine if you don't have mobility issues. Taxi is only 7 euros if walking isint for you. 
Pool setting is beautifully designed and spotless.
Cleaners are lovely and our room was cleaned every day to a high standard.
Sad my last couple of days are restricted due to my leg but all in all was a lovely relaxing holiday.
Also big shout out to our tui rep Georgious who has been absolutely fantastic sorting help for airport and getting us extra legroom seats on medical grounds. Nice to see the reps back. 
Will miss everyone and the sun ... but not the mozzies xxx thank you Maria Steve Andy and everyone that made our holiday

Beautiful place

Yet again a fab holiday at the amazing Lenaki Apartments in Kos with amazing family and friends.
The Tyra family as always made it so special and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
The stunning walk into the town gives you more of an insight into Kos rather than staying in the town, also a little exercise too. Local tavernas and supermarket close by.
Accommodation second to none, immaculate gardens and fab pool, sun beds relaxing and comfortable.
Rooms cleaned regularly, food and service excellent.
Nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you so much, see you next year xx

Amazing Lenaki

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at Lenaki apartments.

We are a family of 3 - Two adults one teenager. Travelling with my brother and his family, also a family of 3.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lenaki apartments, we have had a wonderful holiday.

Rooms - Typical Greek apartments, basic but very very clean. The beds were very comfy, even the sofa bed in the living area that our son slept on, he found it fine, plenty big enough and comfy. 
The shower had a tray at the bottom that actually stopped the water flooding the bathroom if you kept the curtain tucked in, which in other apartments we have stayed in Greece the set up hasn't been so good so you always end up with a flooded bathroom -  not here! 
Lovely balcony and patio, lots of room to sit outside.

Staff - Amazing!!! The welcome we got when we arrived (after a very delayed flight) was amazing, the people are so nice.
Special shout out to the young lady that worked as a waitress, she left to go back to Athens part way through our holiday - such a lovely young woman! Also to the lady that worked the day shift at the bar, wish we had asked her name! So very nice, so happy and smiley - just wonderful. The cleaners work so hard, and everywhere is so clean. Everyone was so friendly.

Grounds and Pool - immaculate! Gorgeous pool, with the best sunbeds in Greece, so comfy! We never had trouble getting beds.  The grounds are beautiful, very well kept.

Food and drink - Very nice food at the apartments, we had quite a few lunches and breakfasts here, prices in line with restaurants. The pancakes and the Caesar salad were amazing! The drinks and ice creams were a little more pricey but not awful! The beer on tap was a little bit weak for our taste, but it was ice cold and so we still got through plenty, and there are plenty of beer and drink options in the fridge.

Location - Good. There is a supermarket and bakery nearby and plenty of restaurants and bars. It takes about 20  mins to get to the harbour and same if you walk to the seafront. The harbour was a little busy for us, we preferred the seafront area. We spent many evenings in Tarzan bar - ask about the bucket of beers, we got through quite a few! 
Personal preference means I would prefer everything together such as Tigaki, this location means things are a little more dotted around, but still within walking distance.

Trips - We only did the one to Paradise beach - Amazing! Gorgeous white sands and water sports - lovely day.

Couple of small things that I think could be improved, the loo roll situation - they don't provide any after the initial supply of 2 rolls - never come across that before in Greece , but we knew so we just purchased a pack from the supermarket. 
On our last day we paid to keep our room on, as our pick up was early evening. We had paid for the aircon for the entire 2 weeks, and my goodness was it needed! However, when we went in to the extended time that we had paid for the aircon was disabled, this was the case in my brothers apartment as well, so we knew this was standard procedure. So it was very hot packing and having final showers etc, just felt a little tight after we had paid for the room extension and also had the aircon for our entire stay. 

Overall - amazing!

Lenaki - Lovely place, lovely people!

We’re a family of kos regulars who’ve been looking for a place to return to for a good few years. 
Stayed in June at lenaki and so happy to say we’ve found the place to return to! I’m gutted I forgot to put my review on after we returned as some More recent reviews are so unfair (more on this later) 
Firstly this was a cheeky week for my hubbys birthday and I contacted Maria and asked her to arrange for a cake and drinks as a surprise - maria arranged this happily even though it put her out of pocket for the cake until I could settle up. 
Arrived midday ish to a huge smile and big hug from Maria with goddies waiting in the room ❤️ 
Room was spacious and clean, well equipped all beds comfy. Lovely view over the gardens at back and the pool at front. 
Pool itself was large and extra comfy sun Beds. 
Never a fight for a lounger and lovely chilled out vibe with genuinely nice repeat guests. 
Food menu was small but well done and reasonably priced. 
Staff were exceptionally kind and really go out of their way for you. 
Air con broke on day 2 and it was fixed within a couple of hours of reporting it even though I forgot until late in the day. 
I came home relaxed and happy grateful to have found a lovely bolt hole for our regular kos holidays can’t wait to return - next year we’re doing 2 weeks in august 😊 

Comments on recent reviews - which I implore you to ignore: 

Loo roll - now common practice for self catering in Greece to ask you to provide your own and why not? Just done two weeks in Rhodes & it was exactly the same. Would I mark down a self catering holiday for this - no! 

Wording of signs is rude & offensive - get a grip this is clearly a translation issue the Greeks are insanely polite it is part of their culture 

Price of bar for food & drinks - prices are reasonable and in line with the area being close to town 4e a pint is nothing to worry about! 

Blonde at bar watching every penny is rude - I was particularly offended by this. The blonde is mum, the family matriarch she’s usually busy with her grandkids. She speaks only a little English but is a very nice lady!!!!

Air con - 10e per day & Only one key so it goes off when you go out. This is how the Greeks do it on EVERY ISLAND! only some of the bigger all inclusive’s operate differently go all in if that’s important to you. 

Dodgy wiring & needs a repaint - the place is immaculate and is tended to all day! If you had a an issue with wiring they would have fixed it and small patch of peeling paint would not justify a low rating from me, but I’m a reasonable person 

Extra charges / family only nice to big spenders - just absolute nonsense and very rude tbh. As I said I asked Maria to go an buy me a cake before ever meeting her and she willingly did so. These are a lovely group of people not in your face or over the top they give you space but make you feel welcome and work hard for your holiday.

This is top class Greek self catering, please go to Spain if this isn’t your thing. Do your research on what is expected practice in Greece so you can have good expectations and give fair reviews. 
I am very grateful for a top holiday and looking forward to returning

Great hotel lovely team of people
