I would totally recommend it to you,it would be hard to find a similar experience for the same money you will pay.I could go on and on about how wrong the bad reviews are but all I will say is it really is not that bad.Some people should consider peoples livelihoods when... more

Although the hotel is far from perfect, and the faults in previous reviews were apparant ie.. ran out of beer twice, bad smell in some of the poolside areas sometimes, the water was lukewarm, rooms small, and it's a fair distance from the resort centre, overall, I'd give... more

Considering this was my first all inclusive holiday, I didn't really know what to expect. I took a holiday with my parents (Who go all inclusive each year), and we arrived at the hotel around 3.30am. The welcome by George wasn't really fantastic, but at that time in a... more

Wonderful Hotel from Shuffy
Just returned from 2 fabulous weeks at this hotel. It is extremely clean and the wide choice of good food is amazing. George and Liz were so friendly and did their utmost to please us, as did Nicki behind the bar. The pool is a really good size and despite the hotel being full, there were always sunbeds. Unlike other hotels who threaton to remove towels left on sunbeds, this hotel actually carry out the threat, so well done them! There is a bus stop right outside the hotel, which is very convenient. We were a family of 4 generations so ranged from late 70's down to 10 year olds and enjoyed it immensely. We had done our homework before we went and chose the hotel because it did not have loud music blaring out all day and night, it did not have karoke, it served Greek (not all English) food and was not in the centre of a town. We were not disappointed and would definitely recommend the Koala. Only one downside and that was having nowhere to freshen up for our nightflight (we were picked up from the hotel 14 hours after we had to leave our room) as the hotel was full.
Loved this hotel from veggielover08
Beautiful pool area, spotless hotel, lots of fresh food and drinks included almost all day. Right between Rhodes and Lindos (30 minutes to each). Local bus services all points of interest on the island right outside the door. Rhodes is 3EUR. So no worries getting out and about. Great for independant travellers if you have a car. I booked last minute and was lucky to have got a place here.
Very basic from nellson5
Very basic hotel, food left a lot to be disired but their are places down the road to eat if you dont mind paying for your meals twice. hotel under staffed and managment had serious atitude problem.
faulty towers 2 from jossy048
I found this hotel very basic needs freshing up, min choice of food and drinks, good for the diet through, I found the hotel was understaffed, the management leaves a lot to be desired, Overall a very disappointing holiday
great family run hotel from patriciasouthport
we went for aweeks holiday in june 08 .As we had been a few times before,we had a great time.The hotel is family run and they are very kind and helpful.The rooms are lovely and clean .The staff are great and angelo who runs the bar is great laugh and always helpfull.great beach close by and if you like cycling as we do plenty of bikes for hire .My husband always takes his fishing rod,and enjoys fishing off the rocks while i laze and sunbathe on the beach.There are lots of great places to eat close by.The town is about twenty mins walk away.A lovely place to stay.
A lovely, quiet oasis. from Lizziej122
We wanted a quiet relaxing holiday and got exactly that. The Koala is a basic but spotlesly clean hotel. It is friendly and family run. Food is freshly prepared each mealtime and is plain but good. A larger than average pool which is deep all over and a nice sized childrens pool. The gardens are pretty and the hotel is the first on the way in to Kolymbia. It is on a road of eucalyptus trees which leads to the resort centre and the beach. It's a fair trek to the beach (straight flat road, but long in the sun). The hotel has a minibus service to the beach though if you want it. Drinks are available from 11am - 11.15pm - Nicki does a cracking cocktail ! Don't come here looking for an entertainment team though - it isn't what this hotel is about. Elizabeth and George (the owners) really looked after us although it was early in the season and the hotel not busy. We really liked it and I'm probably going back next year. I'd like to thank Elizabeth's team for making our stay really pleasant and enjoyable.
much better this time around from michael20001
Stayed here last year second time around. Seems much better. rooms seem to have had an update and the pool area is always, and still is great. We know the owners George and Elizabeth who run this family hotel, so If your expecting the glitzy hotel with the butler opening the door for you on arrival, it wont happen. But if you want a relaxing holiday with no hangups i like this place. make sure you get the aircon rooms, very hot. I asked to be upgraded.. food was good and the all inclusive options suited us,especially the long breakfast (finishes 11.30, needed a good bacon and egg affter a good session at the bar). overall we had a nice week there. you might want to hire a car as there is heaps to see in rhodes.. cheers michael
fawlty towers from jail
The hotel was very run down. The brouchure discription not accurate no telephone , no snack bar. Food very bad no choice, same salads every day, breakfast stale cake,boiled eggs flies all over them. Nothing to do in the restort. Owner not very nice she was snappy and abusive towards guests.
Real Value For Money from nughesboy
We had two weeks here, we always book late to try to get a deal, and we were fortunate to book this hotel. The food can always be a little boring after a few days, in any class of hotel, but we were very impressed, not only with the variety of the meals at dinner, but also with the quality of the food; yes, you get what you pay for, but truely one couldnt fault the food at all. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend A/C room for an extra 80 euros. We had a top floor room at the back of the hotel where you had a decent side view of the sea and we could see what was going on in the bar and swimming pool from our balcony, plus the back rooms are quieter at night being away from the road into Kolymbia town. The beach is too far to walk to in the heat of the day, but George, the owner, mini buses any one who wants to go to the beach at 10am; 2pm; and picks up at 4pm to go back to hotel. Beach: sandy, shallow sea for a fair way out, so safe for kiddies. 2 sunloungers and parasol for 6 euros. Bar on beach. If like us you like to get aroung a resort, we paid 65 euros for a car for three days, dont book thru hotel, go direct to hire dealers, and miss paying commissions. In fairness, without a car to get around, as nice as it is, two weeks would probably be too much here. Must See's: Rhodes Town, (particularly at night) and Lindoss. Rhodes Town Parking: make for Harbour, if you can get a space, its free. In conclusion, we travelled around the various resorts on the island and thought ourselves fortunate to have been staying where we were. If we were to visit Rhodes again, we would try for Rhodes Town, purely for the scenery and ambiance, but would have no problem staying at Koala Hotel it was superb.

Needs some staff from bubbles9
From start to finish this is not the star rated hotel that it proclaims to be. Its only plus point was the fact it was clean....but the health, saftey and security of the people staying there is severley at risk in my opinion. With no literature to where the the nearest fire exit was, right down to lack of staff available to help. This is a big no no to people looking for a safe place for their family to spend a relaxing holiday.
