Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews

Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels

OKU Kos suits travellers looking for a secluded wellness retreat on the coast. Guests hold it in very high regard on Booking.com and Google. Guests benefit from a village-style layout, a private sandy beach, and comprehensive spa facilities. A potential drawback is its secluded position far from major town centres, meaning limited nearby public dining options.

The beachfront property balances slow-living aesthetics with a high-end spa and refined open-air dining. It is best suited for couples and wellness-focused travelers seeking a peaceful, self-contained coastal escape.

Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list on Kos is 9.3.

“We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and tastefully decorated. Everything was well maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxing from the moment we arrived. The beach is peaceful with soft sand, making it a perfect place to unwind. The sea can be wavy because of the wind, but that didn’t take away from the experience. The food was excellent with plenty of delicious options throughout our stay. The only small downside was that beverages at breakfast took a little longer to arrive. Other than that, everything was fantastic. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again!”

“It was a nice stay overall and very relaxing. The location, and especially the sunsets, are truly beautiful. The staff is really friendly and nice, but the service is quite slow. Some evenings we had to ask three times to get a bottle of water, and once we even left after the main course because no one bothered to clear the plates or ask about dessert for over half an hour. The pricing feels a bit off, even with half-board, you have to pay small fees for some options. The quality of the food was good, but it would be great if there were more diversity or variation in the menu, because after a few evenings you end up repeating orders (the vegetarian options especially feel like side dishes). The prices for lunch and drinks are quite high, especially combined with the slow service it’ a bit disappointing. I would say calculate 100€ minimum per day on extra fees for drinks and lunch for 2 people. The room we had was basic but had a big, spacious roof terrace. There is a building site right next door, but it was quiet during our stay. It was quite clean, but the room could use some renovation (leaky faucet, chipped paint, broken drawers). The weather, sea, and beach made up for the inconveniences, though, and it was a nice stay overall.”

“I recently stayed at OKU Hotel in Kos and had a wonderful experience overall. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere of the hotel was calm, stylish, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The property itself is beautifully designed and creates a luxurious yet laid-back feeling. One of the highlights of my stay was the food. The quality of the dishes throughout the day was consistently excellent, with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The breakfast, in particular, was outstanding. There was a wide variety of options available, all beautifully presented, and everything tasted delicious. It was easily one of the best hotel breakfasts I have experienced. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. They made us feel comfortable and were happy to assist with any requests or questions we had during our stay. Another pleasant surprise was the speed of the service. Anyone familiar with the Greek islands knows that things often move at a relaxed pace, but the service at OKU Hotel was relatively fast and efficient without feeling rushed. Overall, OKU Hotel Kos offers an excellent combination of beautiful surroundings, high-quality food, outstanding breakfast, and attentive staff. The relaxed atmosphere, combined with efficient service, made for a memorable stay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and peaceful escape in Kos, and I would happily return in the future.”

“The hotel itself is beautiful, with stunning design, a relaxing atmosphere, and a great overall vibe. We genuinely enjoyed our stay, but a few disappointing experiences prevented it from feeling like the luxury experience we expected. The biggest issue happened at the beach. We reserved a sunbed and briefly returned to our room, leaving our tote bag on the umbrella. When we came back, another guest had taken our sunbed and moved our bag onto the sand. We immediately informed the staff, but the situation was never properly resolved, and the other guest was not asked to return to their original sunbed. What made this even more frustrating is that throughout our three-day stay, we saw many guests reserving beach and pool sunbeds with towels and belongings. If reservations are not allowed, the hotel should clearly communicate and enforce that policy consistently. If they are allowed, guests should not be able to move someone else’s belongings and take their spot. There were also a couple of service issues. At checkout, we had to load our luggage into our car ourselves after it was only brought to reception. In addition, there was a loud mechanical/generator noise during the night, and the air conditioning unexpectedly switched off and back on, disrupting our sleep. OKU is a wonderful property with great potential, but luxury is defined by service as much as beautiful surroundings. I hope management addresses these issues so future guests can enjoy the experience the hotel promises.”

“I’d definitely come back and it’s worth the cost. The staff are lovely; the design is stunning (by Greek architects trying to reimagine a Greek island village); the food especially the breakfast is great. It’s not cheap but we really loved it. The beach is beautiful, the sea clear and the loungers are really comfortable. They were really nice letting us use the facilities waiting for our flight after check out. Highly recommended and I’d love to visit the other Okus, including the new one in Boston”
