Houlis Apartments

The accommodation is far from the city center, and the roads are steep and dangerous. The owners are also elderly and cannot tolerate noise. On our departure day, the owner's wife kicked us out for good so she could keep the rooms for the next guests. The pool was broken, and we couldn't use it at all because its filter was broken. I recommend choosing somewhere else, and don't be fooled by the pictures: the place isn't what they show!

This was truly one of the worst experiences of my life. The owners are the least ruthless bloodthirsty vampires, devouring every last bit of appetite for fun you have left. Rumor has it the facilities date back to the 19th century, when they were already considered unacceptable, let alone by today's standards. As far as I know, not even mutant badgers dare go near the pool, which is said to have been used by biologist A. Fleming to discover penicillin. I really hope these reviews wake the owners up and help them realize this place belongs in a madhouse. Don't you dare book a room in this pub, not even for five Scooby snacks.

Why can't I give zero stars? This place is only good for meeting other people and suffering together. Our rooms seemed to come from the distant 1920s: the kitchen didn't work, the lights flashed like at a rave, the sockets didn't work, and the shower had two settings, Hell and Antarctica. Of course the Wi-Fi didn't reach the rooms, only the area outside by the green pool, where rumors say Mr. Houlis' raccoons hang out at night. The accommodation is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the port at a normal pace, but the road is very dangerous because of the curves, especially at night. Finally, our whole group was treated unacceptably by the owners, and we heard many curses for no reason. Wherever he goes, he goes.

The internet barely works anywhere in the place, except within about two meters of the router, and the pool water looked greener than the surrounding plants. The rooms have what they call fully functional kitchens, but they're dated, 80s-style setups. The owners kept bothering us, and after midnight it felt like we weren't even allowed to breathe outside. We were treated badly, cursed at, threatened and mocked by people I found old and ignorant. This might suit people over 35, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't want that sort of treatment. At least it's among the worst accommodation in Skiathos. Too bad for anyone who booked before reading the reviews, expecting the best stay of their lives.
