Reviews of 8 KEYS by Katerina

Location short walk to Kalamaki

The main road, the traffic goes so fast.

The location was nice.

The room was very disappointing. I booked a room on the 1st floor, as shown in the pictures, but was given one on the ground floor with no private terrace, which was also advertised in the photos. The condition of the room was quite poor. It was extremely old and, more importantly, not maintained at all. The bathroom had rust, and it was obvious that the owners make little to no effort to keep the accommodation in good condition. The furniture and equipment, like the closet and kitchen, seemed to be from the 1970s. Cleanliness was average — not super dirty, not clean either. With such an old apartment, unless it is cleaned thoroughly, it never really feels clean. On the positive side, the bed mattress was okay. I did not meet the owner personally, but my friend did and said she was nice. If the price is very cheap, it might be acceptable, but otherwise, the quality is far below expectations.

The quietness , and peacefulness Friendly staff Lovely rooms

No swimming pool

Great location, close to the beach and the main town

Perfect simple apartment, great location close to Zakynthos city and the airport.

The location is on the main road but the noices are not so bad. The room was clean and the owner cleaning the rooms every 2 days, fresh towels and everything fresh. The room has a easy equipment the kitchen too. Low cost room you cant´t expect an wonder. For me it was ok. The owner Lady Katerina is kind and friendly and helpful by any questions. Parkplace is for free.To the next beach you´ll be in 10 min walk.

more kitchen equipment would be nice. I have nothing negative to say.

Lovely clean apartments with fridge and hot plate for cooking. Katerina and her husband were very kind and helpful and ensured my stay was enjoyable and comfortable. Bottle of water in the fridge on arrival which was a nice touch. Location is a little out of Kalamaki but close enough to walk in. Balcony was nice to sit on during the evening.

A little traffic noise but this is no fault of the hosts and it was bearable.

The hospitability of the owner is just extraordinary. The location of the apartment is very good. It is close to one of the best restaurants in Kalamaki so you don't need to worry about cooking. The area is quite calm and close enough to different services like car rentals, souvenir shops, bus stop etc. Also the cleaning of the apartment is very frequent which is very useful if you decide to stay longer.

The apartment needs renovation because the furniture is dated. Also the light in the bathroom is too dark. The kitchen equipment is very simple if you decide to cook on your own.

Very friendly owner, the apartment is clean, sheets and towels are changed every 2 days, nice balcony, peaceful location and very close to Kalamaki Main Road (about 3 minutes with car) and Zakynthos town (about 10 minutes with car)

Small shower with a curtain

we stayed about a week in Zakynthos with Katerina and her husband, very kind and super helpful people. the room was always clean, sheets and towels changed every day. we didn't want to leave!

nothing bad

Kind friendly couple ...keep place immaculate . Perfect location will definitely be back xxx thankyou so much 😊

Having to go hone 😔

The apartmemt was clean and well-equipped. Katerina left us a bottle of water and shampoo bottles with towels. We were satisfied with the service- full room clean every 2-3 days which was amazing. The Kalamaki main road is about 10 minutes to reach by walk and there is no noise in night. You can also park here. Very recommend!

- Beautiful room, nice design - Balcony - Windows

- No electricity or warer in the morning - Water was used from a reserve of saltwater I think because the water was very salty, it is not really amazing to come back from a whole day of swimming in saltwater to a salty shower - Bed was not very comfortable, had a hard mattress

Everything was perfect.

A nice, cozy hotel, about 10 minutes away from Kalamaki (town & beach). Very good place to stay if You don't like crowdy places. A supermarket, bakery and very good taverna in the close vicinity.

Quiet position a bit away from Kalamaki main street, nice balcony, well kept/cleaned and had a small kitchen with everything we needed.

Perhaps it would have been nice to meet the staff/hosts when we checked in. Otherwise everything was good.

Everything was clean, the host was very kind. Lovely view of old olive trees.

We had a little trouble sleeping in the night, because of the noise from the street, but perhaps we’re just sensitive sleepers..

Being owned and ran by a local it gave it a nice homely vibe. You are made to feel welcome and that if you need anything can ask. They have a freezing bottle of water waiting for you which you was perfect just after landing. They fully clean for you which I wasn’t expecting being an apartment, floors get moped, bathroom cleaned. Bed sheets changed and toilet roll and toiletries. Also as I was working from home on my laptop the Wi-Fi was good and location was perfect close enough to go out when wanted but also enough away to be in peace

One thing but wasn’t the owners fault at all is that I get bit more than most other people by mosquitoes so remember if you get targeted more too by the plug ins to stop that.

Everything was fantastic, clean, functional. Mrs. Katerina waited us as per previously estimated time of arrival. She even prepared a bottle of drinkable water for us. The room was cleaned once per 2-3 days which was fantastic. There also were prepared small bottles with shampoo and soap so we had time to buy our own. Location was very good. Speed of fan was adjustable. We also had an option to cook our own food (which we didn't use). There was a fridge in a small kitchen right after the lockable door which was great.

The strange thing for us was that a light was on in hallway during the night. Maybe people with worse sleep could have issue to fall asleep.
