The facility is clean and well maintained. It was easy to walk to the beach or the market. As well as the restaurants nearby. The owner and staff were incredibly helpful. I would stay here again.

Family oriented feels!
A pleasant stay at this well equipped and clean accomo. When you walk in, the front yard has various bikes and kids toys scattered around giving it the that family oriented feel, however it was really quiet. The old man that greeted us was super friendly even though we checked in really late. Would not hesitate to come back again!

Great location and very friendly staffs
Nice hotel and close to the beach. Easy to walk about and the restaurants shops are around the corner. The staffs are very friendly and accommodating ( has a friend joined me last min in the trip and the hotel provided the extra bed without additonal charge) however the hotel facility is a bit disappointing . Given the cheap price and great location and staffs I would not mind this a bit run down hotel if you are traveling with low budget.

Nice views
Just a typical Greek holiday apartment on the third floor so a long climb to our room but had a nice view. No noise apart from dogs and cockerels, Kitchen was very basic with not a lot to cook with. We found the bed and the pillows very hard ALSO THE BED BROKE on our 2nd night because of an earlier botched repair luckily we do not suffer with bad back or it could have been very different. The bed was fixed the next day, but no apology or concern from the owners. Owners generally not very welcoming.

Comfortable place
When we arrive it was a bit confusing as there is no sign for reception or where to go when u arrive,after 3min lady arrive and without asking as who we are she took us straight to the room. Room very cosy and comfortable for a price was good, Ac working ,lovely view from balcony,we really liked that area Keri, touristic but quiet, i wouldnt be hapoy to stay in Laganas n Kalamaki as is tooo touristic. Towels changed daliy and sheet. Room was cleaned litttle bit only refreshed but it was perfect for us. We were litterally only sleeping there. You can rent the car litterally office is along the herodotos studios building which is fantastic. Overall we had a good stay.

Clean hotel but nothing to do
There is absolutely nothing to do here but sit on your balcony and look at the garden if you are on the first floor. The proprietors seem to forget that they have guests at times and allow their children to make as much noise as they like and invite their family over for parties. But they don't interact with the guests and they don't provide entertainment so you don't get to know any of the other guests.

Great family hotel in a quiet area
We had a fantastic stay at the Herodotos Studios. Very good sized room with a lovely view towards the garden and the sea. The only downside I found was the lack of mosquito nets on the windows/balcony door. It's family ran hotel, which creates a feeling of comfort and cosiness. The owners are extremely kind and helpful and provide the most delicious breakfast. The hotel is away from the craziness of a beach party resort, but rather situated in a quiet and rural area with nice tavernas around, a couple of shops and a bakery.

Adequate but disappointing
The facilities are very basic, and the facility seems quite old, which is especially evident in the bathroom and kitchenette. Some of the dishes in the cupboard were dirty, as was the refrigerator. We didn't want to use the kitchenette. The price was good, but we were happy to leave after two nights.

Room was big with a nice view. The TV was old and sometimes wasn't working, air conditioning satisfying. Cleanliness was alright, they were changing sheets and towels every 3 days, but they weren't cleaning properly the toilet and the floor under the bed and in the corners. The soap when we arrived in the bathroom was used. Its was really peaceful and the owner was very kind.

Quiet and quaint hotel with all the basics
We had a great time at Herodotos Studios in the second half of September. First and foremost, Keri Lake is a tiny village and lacks the loud and, to us, unappealing, Brit-centric characteristics of other parts of the island. There are no English breakfasts or Shamrock Irish pubs here. As many have noted, the water in the hotel is not potable; there are 2 stores within 100 metres of the hotel where large jugs of water can be purchased. The rooms on the 3rd floor have very high, beautiful, wood ceilings and balconies overlooking the sea in the distance. We found everything to be clean and the kitchen to have everything needed. The owner was kind - if you do not ask for anything, you will be left alone with a mid-week change of sheets and towels. If you need anything, he was very accommodating and even drove us to the airport. The cost for this service is 30 euro each way, keep in mind. The beach by the hotel is ~7 min walk; it is a large but very narrow small-pebble beach; however, once in the water, the bottom is all sand, no seaweed, and very shallow. A 20-minute walk will take you to Marathia beach which has large pebbles, a more abrupt depth and interesting fish.

Fantastic find
We stayed here for a week as were doing a diving course in Keri and couldn't have been happier. Had everything we needed and in a perfect location. Loved sitting out on the balcony having breakfast and looking at the view! Keri was amazing so nice and quiet and relaxing and the hotel was perfect for what we were looking for. The owners truly went out of their way to be helpful, even driving us into Zakynthos town to use a cash machine as there were none in Keri! Lovely people and really made our stay so much more pleasant. Can rent cars and quad bikes from the hotel, we rented a quad for a day and it was great. Only downside would be the taste of the water, we had to use bottled water to make tea and coffee as water out of the tap tasted really salty even after boiling, and the town cockerels crowing all night but nothing to do with the hotel you'd have this issue anywhere in Keri I think. Really reasonable rates, great value for money and good quality. Had a great time playing with the kittens in the tree, will definitely be back!
