A gem for rest and bath
We had a really lovely week at Samaina Inn and can warmly recommend the hotel. From the first day we felt well taken care of. The staff is the hotel’s greatest asset – always smiling, friendly, helpful and genuinely committed to ensuring guests enjoy themselves. The service is of a very high standard and creates a familiar and relaxed atmosphere.
The hotel is well maintained with nice, clean rooms that are thoroughly cleaned every day. The pool area is nice and the whole facility gives a very well-groomed impression. The food is delicious and varied. It may not be the most exclusive we’ve experienced, but it’s of great quality and works great for a week’s all-inclusive holiday.
Karlovassi is a quiet and genuine part of Samos, perfect for those who want to relax and enjoy the Greek atmosphere. Here you will find beautiful surroundings, pleasant walks and a pleasant pace far from the most touristy resorts. For us, the combination of Samaina Inn and Karlovassi was a perfect holiday, and we will gladly return.

Great stress free break
Visited Samos for the first time and Samaina Zion was a lovely hotel. My bedroom was incredibly spacious and the bathroom huge. You cannot fault the staff who work incredibly hard - the cleaning staff early in the morning around the pool area were a sight to see! I have never seen an area be as thoroughly cleaned before!!
The dining area staff are incredibly attentive either tables being cleared and cleaned very quickly . Food is very nicely presented and hot / cold as appropriate. The lady at the pool bar was so friendly and although the cocktails are a bit basic, they tasted nice! The wine is good, not rough and my friend was quite happy with the beer. If you want to splash the cash occasionally on a cocktail from the inside bar, you won’t be disappointed!
There is a small beach opposite the hotel with free dinners and umbrellas. Good idea to take beach shoes as it is quite pebbly but the sea was lovely and clear. We went up to the beach further up the coast one day and sat by the Hippi bar which served lovely food and drinks, well recommended!
The only criticism I have is the entertainment, or lack of it! When we were there you could do Pilates or yoga on the beach early in the morning and there was table tennis and z gym which I didn’t investigate. On Monday and Thursday there was live music which I’m afraid was fire!! Greek night on Wednesday was a bit better with people encouraged to join in dancing but it still wasn’t all that great.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay here, as I say the staff are incredible. Probably wouldn’t stay again but only because of the location, a bit too far from anywhere.

Dear Jacqui D.,
Thank you for choosing the Island of Samos and Samaina Inn Hotel for your stay!
We are delighted that your stay here proved so pleasant, that you enjoyed the room space, our courteous colleagues created such a charming appeal to you, plus the surrounding area impressions that you gained.
We take into account your entertainment comments and we shall try to offer a better music mix.
Samos is an amazing island, with abundant beauties everywhere, quite large, so a car is ideal to explore it and create memories to stay.
Our town at the fresh side of the island, has certain green charms, mountain villages nearby, with festivities, events, since it is the as large as the island’s capital, embraced by lush green hills and mountain villages that prove unforgettable, actually giving it 2-3 less degrees at the heart of summer.
We thank you for wonderful review and we wish you all the best!
Kind Regards

Reasonable but needs work
Hotel is tired but clean. Food is quite good the pool needs some serious cleaning and repairing. Staff are friendly however the woman running the outside bar is passive aggressive and even though being all inclusive, the drinks are poor quality as everything comes ready mixed from a tap and they will only give drinks in the smallest of glasses which means constantly having to go for refills. I would say they need to have a bit of a rethink

Disappointed stay at Samaina inn Karlovasi Samos
Unfortunately, our recent stay at Samaina Inn in Karlovasi was extremely disappointing, particularly because this was our third time staying at the hotel.
We booked our room approximately nine months in advance and specifically reserved and paid for an ocean-front, two-bedroom, two-bathroom maisonette/suite. Upon arrival, we were informed that there was an issue with our reservation and were given a completely different room. The room we received was a two-bedroom, one-bathroom room located in the back of the hotel with no ocean view. It was not comparable to the room we had reserved and paid for.
What was even more frustrating was the hotel’s insistence that the replacement room was the same type of accommodation. It clearly was not. The difference in location, ocean view, number of bathrooms, and overall room category was significant. Despite the substantial difference, we were not offered any reimbursement or adjustment to the price.
The situation was made worse by the lack of communication between the booking department and the front desk. It appeared that the staff were not properly informed about our reservation, and we received inconsistent explanations regarding what had happened. Rather than taking responsibility for the reservation error, we felt that the hotel was attempting to justify the situation instead of addressing it fairly.
Unfortunately, one of the front desk staff members was also extremely rude and dismissive toward my family. The way the situation was handled became so upsetting that my daughter was brought to tears. As a customer—especially a returning customer—I found this level of treatment unacceptable.
I repeatedly asked to speak with a manager and requested the manager’s name and contact information, but this information was not provided to me. That only added to the feeling that there was a lack of accountability for what had happened.
We were extremely disappointed that the hotel did not acknowledge the mistake, offer an appropriate solution, or provide any compensation for the significant difference between the accommodation we paid for and the room we actually received.
We have stayed at Samaina Inn three times, which makes this experience particularly disappointing. We had previously chosen to return because of our past experiences, but unfortunately, after the way this situation was handled, we will not be returning.
Mistakes can happen, but what matters is how a business takes responsibility and treats its customers when something goes wrong. In this case, we felt that our concerns were dismissed, we were not treated with respect, and there was no meaningful effort to resolve the situation.
Very disappointing experience, and unfortunately one that completely changed our opinion of a hotel we had previously chosen to return to. I would not recommend Samaina Inn based on our recent experience.

Dear Lisa Ruocco,
Thank you for choosing Samaina Inn once again. As you had stayed with us twice before, we were genuinely sorry to see that your most recent experience did not meet your expectations.
We believe, however, that it is important to clarify the facts of your reservation, particularly because your review presents a number of points as confirmed facts that do not correspond to the reservation that was actually made.
First and most importantly, the room you describe as having been “reserved and paid for” was not the room category confirmed in your reservation.
Your confirmed booking was for one Family Room for four persons, at the corresponding Family Room rate.
On our website, the Family Room category is clearly described as follows:
“Accommodating 2–5 people, these rooms can have unlimited views to the Aegean, the settlement of Paleo Karlovasi or pool-side views.”
The category includes different layouts, including suites and maisonettes, and the view and specific layout are subject to availability. A particular room, layout or view can therefore only be guaranteed when it has been specifically confirmed as part of the reservation.
This is precisely what our Reservations Manager explained to you on 29 September 2025, when you requested a sea-view room:
“We would like to reassure you that we will do our best to satisfy your wish for the specific room; however, the rooms are assigned according to availability upon arrival.”
You subsequently proceeded with your reservation. We therefore believe it is important to distinguish between a request and a confirmed reservation. Your preference for a particular sea-view maisonette was acknowledged and our team agreed to do its best to accommodate it; it was never confirmed as a guaranteed room.
There is another relevant point. Your original reservation was for 14 nights, but it was subsequently amended four times and ultimately reduced to only five nights. Your final reservation was therefore for five nights, not fourteen. With the hotel operating at full occupancy, it would simply not have been possible to reserve a specific room for a fourteen-night period and then leave it unavailable for sale when the final booking was for only five nights.
For these reasons, we cannot agree with the statement that you “reserved and paid for an ocean-front, two-bedroom, two-bathroom maisonette/suite” and that the hotel subsequently failed to provide it. The accommodation provided was the Family Room category that you had booked and paid for, at the agreed rate.
We must also address your statement that the hotel “took your money” without providing the room you had booked. This is a particularly serious allegation, and it is not accurate. We respectfully ask you to reconsider and withdraw this specific allegation, as it gives a materially misleading impression of the transaction and of the reservation you actually held.
What is also missing from your review is what happened after your arrival.
When you expressed your dissatisfaction with the room, our Reservations Manager contacted you through an email on the day of your arrival and, following further availability, offered you the opportunity to move to a front sea-view Family Room from August 1st. You accepted this solution and stayed in that room for the final two nights of your five-night stay.
Our team therefore did make a genuine effort to accommodate your preference, even though the specific room had never been guaranteed.
As additional gestures of goodwill, we also arranged complimentary wine and fruit in your room, provided a farewell gift at departure, and offered you the use of the room on your departure day without an additional day-use charge. Our Front Office and Food & Beverage teams also made every effort throughout your stay to assist your family, personally care for their dietary need and respond to your requests.
We are therefore surprised by the statement that there was “no meaningful effort to resolve the situation”.
Regarding your comments about communication and management, we would also like to clarify that our Front Office team was aware of your concerns and remained in contact with our Reservations Department in an effort to find a solution. You were also given the name of our Hotel Manager, who was present at the hotel and available to meet with you during the day. On occasions you asked to see her, you had already left the hotel for your excursions and subsequently returned after her working hours. You were therefore not denied access to management. As for her private telephone number, naturally, personal contact details of our management are not provided to guests.
We are equally sorry to read your account of the interaction with our Front Office team. We take any concern regarding the way a guest is treated seriously. At the same time, our colleagues experienced the interaction very differently from the way it is described in your review. Despite the intensity of the situation, our team remained professional and continued to assist you and your family.
Most importantly, we do not believe it is fair to characterize our efforts as a refusal to take responsibility when, from the very first day, our team worked to find an alternative and ultimately succeeded in moving you to the type of accommodation you had requested for the final two nights of your stay.
We fully understand that you were disappointed that your preferred room was not available for all five nights. We respect your right to express that disappointment and to decide whether you wish to return to our hotel.
What we cannot accept, however, is for a non-guaranteed room request to be presented publicly as a confirmed and paid-for reservation, or for the hotel to consequently be accused of taking payment without providing the accommodation booked.
We would therefore respectfully ask you to amend that part of your review and ensure that the distinction between your requested room and your confirmed reservation is accurately reflected.
We are particularly sorry that, after three stays with us, this experience has changed your perception of Samaina Inn. We remain proud of the efforts made by our team to assist you and your family and of the hospitality we extended to you throughout your stay.
We wish you and your family all the very best and hope that, despite our different recollections of what occurred, this response provides the clarification that your review requires.
Kind regards
