From beginning to end the staff at the hotel couldn’t be more helpful, from the free transfer from the boat and back to the excellent breakfast and the flexible checkout times, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel itself was of highest quality and located very conveniently next to the centre of the old town. If you’re coming to Folegandros you should seriously consider staying at this wonderful place.

My stay at Hotel Polikandia was nothing short of amazing, a cute pool area and a room with a balcony view of the Church of Panagia. There was free port transfer that was easy, and walkable distance to the bus stop to travel to other beaches. The dining options are very close by and walkable, as well as the walk to the Church of Panagia. The staff were extremely friendly and sweet. I would go back in a heartbeat - they even gave me honey to take home! Thanks for making my visit to Folegandros a great birthday trip.

Polikandia is a gem! We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return. It’s right at the edge of town making everything convenient. Everyone at the hotel was incredibly helpful. The complimentary ferry pick-up and drop off made arrival and departure a breeze. Rooms are also super cute with everything you need. Great shower pressure as well. Highly recommend!

This was a perfect location to walk to restaurants and shops. I also hiked to the church easily at sunrise from here. The bougainvillea around the pool was spectacular. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They were constantly cleaning up and keeping the pool area spotless. The rooftop is a nice place to watch the sunset.

We recently stayed at the Polikandia as a base for our nieces wedding at the Church of Panagia. The hotel is in an ideal location just on the entrance into Chora town, 10 minutes drive from the port and in a perfect position for the walk up to the church. From picking us up at the port to final checkout, Dimitrys and all the family were exceptional hosts, so friendly and welcoming. The Polikandia is a beautiful place to stay and we have no reservations in recommending to any future travellers.

Love this hotel!

A lovely stay in a beautiful hotel. The Hotel Polikandia is perfectly situated near the middle of Chora near to all the restaurants, cafes and bars. The rooms are spotlessly clean and ours had a view of the church. The pool area is really relaxed, pool is gorgeous, lots of sun loungers available and you can order drinks from the bar to enjoy. All the staff are so friendly and helpful - we loved the jar of honey on departure. We would love to stay here again.

Hotel Polikandia is an absolute gem. Our room (with two bathrooms, a lovely front porch and back balcony, facing a beautiful pool surrounded by bougainvillea) was the perfect setup for our family (2 parents, 2 tweens). We greatly enjoyed the great breakfast spread, quick walking distance to restaurants, attention to little details (such as a bunch of beach umbrellas we could borrow), and super helpful hotel staff (family run). Very highly recommend!

Folegandros’ Finest!

Dimitris and his lovely wife, Roula, are exceptional hosts. When I read the reviews, I was impressed but they exceeded expectations. Dimitris was so helpful in advising me with my plans ( ferry,etc). The hotel is beautiful and in a perfect location near the charming old town and close to the bus station. Our room was attractive, comfortable and spotless. The outdoor space is lovely- full of flowers and and a pool with chaises and umbrellas. An abundant and delicious breakfast is available as well as lunch and snacks.Roula’s lemonade is the best! This is a family business and they treat you like family. We loved our visit and would be happy to return! Thank you again for a perfect holiday!

The location of the hotel is ideal as it is a 1 min walk from all of the restuarants and key viewing spots of the sunset and ocean. The hotel was immaculately kept to the highest standards.The stand out aspect of our stay was how Stelios, Dimitris, Ioannis and Roula made us feel part of their family which made our time spend there so much more special.

The staff is really amazing. There is pick up at the port which is really convenient. I highly recommend this hotel. The pool is a nice touch and the rooms are great, beautiful, very clean. I was lucky enough to have a view of the pool and the church on the hill. The location is perfect! My only gripe was that the bed was a little hard, but they indicated that that could be remedied.
