Village Inn

Returned home over a week. Every time i come to complete review, i just become more and more upset. What a waste of money. I hope people don't think this is what zante is like. My hubby had to sleep upside-down on the bed as the bed was too short . He managed to get his pillow on the ege of the foot end to balancing his head. he never slept as bed, and matters both need to go in the bin. Had to turn the mattress. I slept digangal the double bed due to the mattres being broken. The bathroom was awful with cobwebs over the shower, and the shower head needed to be in the bin. The smell from the bathroom was different. The Flooring had black hair over it for days. The room was old dated and very basic. The food breakfast ok, if you like uncooked eggs . We were all-inclusive, if you could call it that. The lunch and dinner were the worst food I have ever tasted. Small choice chicken on the bone or sausage from breakfast. beef, which looked all the same size and cut light in colour, with the same sauce As the rest of the food. Tastes like it was off, and they are covering up with the sauce to make it more appealing. Lol . The potatoes taste like they had been cooked days before or weeks out off date. We both had a sore belly for a few days. Coffee was disgusting. Cold food, but it OK you can use the microwave to heat up food, or cook it. No white wine, juice was just full of sugar very hot in a small cup. I think beer was watered-down. When you see the workers coming to take their fizzy drink out of the cooler. i thought i might work for a day. The ladys toilet in the bar did not work. No service at all, staff talking about customers . The owner looking down on people like they are disgusted in you. No one is smiling or asking how your day has been, with no offer of advice about the area. Just no interest in people. There are cats and kittens within the hotel. They family hated them, not looking after them. I saw staff kicking them. Extra cost WiFi aricon, safe, dirty towels, or pillow case. We both had bits everywhere. I think mosquito is coming in through the aircon. Pleses look at another hotel. Zante is a lovely place.

The swamp the worst place we have ever stayed in. The food was inedible cold fried eggs, stale bread rolls, awful coffee and fried mushrooms,onions & tomatoes all cold and swimming in oil. Paying extra for air conditioning, broadband and to break the camels back a city tax when checking out! In the middle of nowhere, definitely not a 3 star hotel. Never again.

Reviews are harsh. You do get what you pay for. This is a 3* and so 3* is what you will get. Every area is very clean from the bedrooms to the communal areas ie. Bar toilets to the reception desk and the dining area. After each meal you can see the hard working staff cleaning down the kitchen and dining area thoroughly. There is no entertainment though the bar is open until 11pm. Our room was adequate for our family and what we expected for what we paid. The food is well cooked and there is a variety. The breakfast was better than I had imagined and the good thing about it is that the food is cooked in small quantities and brought out to be served so it is not sat there for hours going cold and attracting flies. Staff are on hand throughout your stay and no ask is too big. Yes you do have to pay for air con and for Wi Fi so what we did was family share our Wi Fi from 1 device that we had registered for roaming costing nothing. The air con should not be chargeable and I think that is the biggest gripe at €13 per night for a maisonette. The bar shop selling ice creams and refrigerator cold drinks is expensive so avoid using this but instead go directly across the road for a very friendly and helpful shop which opens early closes late and stocks everything at a cheaper price. The hotel is out of the main area and so be prepared for lots of taxis which are not cheap at an average of €15 a ride. The hotel will call you a taxi but this for some reason is a more expensive way of doing it and so again go to the shop opposite they will also call you a taxi but at a cheaper price for the same taxi and the same driver even! Do not book excursions from the hotel or the holiday rep but instead make your way in a taxi to the excursion base ie. The beach for the glass bottom boat ride and strike a deal. Everyone will charge less if paying cash rather than card. The pool is thoroughly cleaned every single morning and ready to use from around 8:30 we were always first in and there is no shortage or rush for a sun lounger. Food and drinks are available almost 24/7 with breakfast then snack time then lunch then snack time then dinner. The lady at reception is most helpful and the cleaning team are on hand for extra towels etc. The water park is a taxi ride away and if going after 2:30 then entry is cheaper still leaving you enough time to fully explore. On the beach rather than pay for a sun lounger go for food and drink at Malabooz really good smoothies and very generous portions priced really fairly sit out eat and drink. Happy Holidays ☀️

Booked here for a last minute holiday. Upon arrival we was the last drop off we went to check in while filling in paper work was asked for the 100 deposit and city tax (knew about this as I had read online) we paid for air conditioning and the safe. So was just lots of handing out on arrival. We was showed to our room took ages for the ac to get cold. We was told we had to wait for the boss to come open the safe in our room. The safe wasn’t big enough we wanted to be able to put I pads in when out for the day but was far to small. We went to the shop across the road for some snacks and drinks when we got back My little lad sat on the bed next thing he fell to the floor banging his head. The bed base was clearly broken the headboard was detached from the base. The screws was no where near long enough. We went to reception but no one was there and in total darkness. So we had to sleep on the mattress on the floor! Not a good start to the holiday. Next morning we told reception she said they would get someone around to repair asap. We went out for the day when we returned they still hadn’t been we spoke again to reception she said he is busy and will come when he can. We spoke with the rep later and he spoke with them and within 2 hours they came. The fridge seal was broken so you had to push hard on the door for it to seal. Only 1 glass for 3 people so we bought our own. Maid service poor took towels and never replaced them all only leaving 2 large towels and no toilet roll. We was half board breakfast was okay same thing everyday but we all managed to eat. Staff very nice and friendly. Evening meal we only ate there twice as the selection was very poor and nothing for kids. So we chose to eat out Location is quite far from town and beach, was 40 mins walk to the beach Don’t usually mind walking but with a moaning 8 year old in the heat isn’t fun. I’m glad we hired a car for a few days as it got us exploring further afield. Plenty parking available at the back of the hotel. Pool area was okay plenty of loungers but dodgy steps into the deeper end hurt my knee getting inn. We heard some noice during the nights but wasn’t to bad I expected it to be worse when I saw the young groups of lads. We also asked for late check out and told no but other guests paid 30 euro to stay till 6pm. No where to shower and get changed apart from the toilets behind the bar that are gross as the flush on ladies toilet does not flush and it’s always blocked. Small supermarket across the road very reasonable priced, grumpy grill across the road is also good. The hotel was clean but very dated rooms I would not stay here again and wouldn’t recommend personally.
