Chora Resort Hotel & Spa

Small but cozy room. Friendly staff and good location. Breakfast could be improved

The only positive about this hotel is its location. Everything else was a terrible experience. We were charged €1,100 for two rooms, but the service was nowhere near what you would expect for that price. The hotel is understaffed, poorly maintained, and the breakfast was inedible with coffee that was undrinkable. The staff were impolite and even refused to help us with our luggage despite the high rates we paid. My honest advice: avoid this hotel.

A fabulous hotel, with only 2 storey villa style buildings all clustered around a large picturesque pool. Our room was just 10 steps from the pool, with a lovely individual outside terrace. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. The hotel staff are very welcoming and helpful and the staff at the pool bar and breakfast are very pleasant. The hotel is located on the edge of the charming Chora of Folegandros, a maze of beautiful pedestrian streets, with squares of shops and restaurants around every corner. Greece at its most charming and picturesque. An unforgettable and fabulous holiday.

Everything from start to finish was perfect! The hotel and grounds are attractive and well-maintained. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was varied and plentiful. We also appreciated the complimentary transfer from the port to the hotel. I would stay there again without hesitation.

Very well located with easy walking access to the town. Our room was pleasant and spacious, although the bathroom was rather dated. However the pool area is the star feature, and added a lot to the enjoyment of our stay. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Avoid this hotel! The hotel claims to be 4 stars, but that's a lie. The hotel has a lower standard than other options in Chora, such as Folgandros Apartments and Anemomilos Boutique Hotel, both of which are 2 stars. Chora Resort is clearly a hotel on the brink of bankruptcy, and it’s run accordingly. They want to bring in money but are letting the hotel fall apart. It’s unsafe and in dire need of renovation. The photos you see are photoshopped. Note the many negative comments from former employees. They particularly criticize the hygiene. We found this to be true. We later spoke with several wonderfully friendly people in the beautiful town, and unfortunately, all were well aware of stories like ours, about people being deceived by this hotel. They were angry themselves because they believe the hotel is ruining the island's and the town's reputation. Furthermore, I will comment on: Mold and cleaning The pool Outdoor area I traveled with my family, that is, my partner and our two children, including a baby under one year old. The first thing we noticed in the room was the smell of mold. The mold was painted over but was evident in the shower and inside the closets. The cleaning of the room was also questionable. There were a lot of insects around, it was crawling with ants – even in the beds. Disgusting. The pool was full of insects, and they were not removed. Not a major issue, but it's unappealing and has nothing to do with 4 stars, and should be unnecessary when you’re paying 180-200 euros per night. The outdoor area outside our room was unusable for us. We had envisioned that the baby could crawl around on the deck, but it was splintery, unsafe, and full of bird droppings that were not cleaned. The outdoor furniture had also not been cleaned for a long time. Our family is fortunate enough to have been able to find another place to stay, even though we did not get our money back. Not everyone is that lucky. When I spoke to the manager, she said she didn’t care about bad reviews because she would just say we were lying. It’s obvious she has experienced this many times before.
