This is highly recommended hotel if you are looking for peace and harmony in the beautiful countryside. You'll need to rent car or motorcycle if you would like to explore surroundings. They will provide with full service as described on booking.com and you could relax and feel like at home. It's a good value for money and quite popular hotel among people and I booked 16 days about 4 months before i arrived at Meliton Hotel. I checked few times availability and all July dates was fully booked. It was second time when I was here. After it's just 10 minutes driving distance from airport and taxi price is starting from 16-23€ one way but bus ticket will cost you less than 3€ but you should find bus timetable. In the meantime you can rent scooter from airport and go with the flow and enjoy freedom!
Overall experience:
Very kind and helpful people. Check in and check out was very quick and rooms was clean and spotless. All toiletries was provided and missing ones was topped up later. Also bed was large and comfy. Air-conditioning was simply brilliant and they installed truly powerful aircondioner in my room. Swimming pools are large enough and they do a good job to keep them clean at all times. I enjoyed my time here very much and felt like at home.
Some guests can be noisy but they don't try to distract people but it's interesting to watch them talking to each other and such lovely interactions makes this hotel alive.
You will see a lot of cats here.
Meals:
It's 3 times a day and you can expect to receive locally resourced food from gardens. Fresh food every day. They will cook authentic and delicious Greek food and it would cost separately more elsewhere. Menu is limited but absolutely acceptable for the price overall. Personally I expressed acknowledgement and compliments to the chef. I heard same from few hotel guests too.
Sure thing, there is a little shop where most important products are available for sale. You won't find many shops around and shopping should be well planned if you wish to buy more. The Best advice from me is to book day trip by ferry from Rhodes port to Marmaris, Turkey and that's very interesting shopping experience. However Meliton Hotel will provide full information about available tours and transport.
Honestly I would return back here third time because I enjoyed quality food, service, peace and happiness. This was main reason why I returned here second time and feel grateful for everything I received from Meliton Hotel.

For me, Meliton should be 4 star hotel. The location is perfect to sightseeing if you have car because it's in the center of the Rhodes island. The cleanliness in the room is spotless. They clean rooms every day. Food was a little bit repeated but always fresh and really good. The reception and the whole crew was sooo kind for every guest which we really appreciate that. We really enjoyed entertainment part. There were greek night and karaoke night during our stay. We've got really spacious room for three people with beautiful view on the greenery, quiet pool and also partial sea view from our balcony. Me as a travel agent totally will recommend Meliton Hotel for our clients. Greetings from room number 66. Klaudia :)

I do not recommend this hotel!
I have traveled to many countries, but this is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at.
When we arrived, we were not given the room we had booked. Instead of a double bed, we received two separate beds, even though we were a family with a small child. We requested a double bed but had to wait 3 days for a room change.
We also had to pay extra for air conditioning, even though this was not mentioned on Booking. We paid for an all-inclusive package, but after 10 PM, everything had to be paid separately.
The room didn’t look like the pictures, there were small insects inside, and it smelled like urine in the bathroom. Cleaning was far from satisfactory.
The food was repetitive and bland. Every day it was the same things, poorly cooked. They served plain pasta without any sauce, and traditional Greek dishes like hummus, souvlaki, or gyros were completely missing.
Desserts were disappointing – only some doughnuts once and hard biscuits as snacks. The ice cream was served only during snack time.
Drinks were very limited. If you asked for a whiskey, they would pour you a tiny 20 ml shot, barely covering the ice. If you asked for a proper drink, the bartender would refuse, saying the owner was watching and didn’t allow it.
No activities or entertainment were organized for the guests, and the owner was constantly watching people to see how much they ate or drank – it made us feel very uncomfortable.
In short: poor service, bad food, unclean rooms, and a greedy management. Definitely not worth the money. Stay away!

We spent one full week, from Saturday to Saturday, at the hotel. It was really pleasant because Rhodes is a wonderful place to travel. The hotel is well organized, and there are a lot of options to have fun with, like two pools, a tennis court, a table tennis table, etc. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from a bus stop to Rodos, with a 45-minute bus ride. The biggest strength of this place is the service and the staff, especially Kostas and his wife Sortira, who are locals always greeting you with a smile and a kind word. A special note for French visitors: Sandrine is fluent in both Greek and French, so it will be easy to talk with her to get information about the hotel and the island.

Very satisfied, the hotel is great, modern renovation, little choice during lunches and dinners, all this compensates for the friendly staff who do their job 1000%
The location is remote, you can walk to the town in 15 minutes or rent a car
Overall, we recommend it!
