Fantastic
What a wonderful week we had thanks to the kindness and hospitality of the people on Samos and the family of Hotel Sofia.
A beautiful pool, animals that were well cared for and then breakfast......Fresh fruit, choose how you want your eggs and every day a different homemade cake, cookie!
The location is near the beach and within walking distance of the village with nice restaurants and a few shops.
The rooms are cleaned excellently and we understood that the bathrooms will be renovated in the coming years. Now the shower floor sometimes got wet, but was no problem for us.
Warm, welcoming , we felt at home! See you next year at health! Gerard, Boaz and Mirjan from Holland

A wonderful holiday all round.
Had a wonderful week at hotel Sofia , its location is very central to everything we needed. Tavernas , beach , restaurants, mini supermarkets. All within the beach road in front of the hotel. Ormos village and harbour just a mile walk - where we enjoyed a fabulous meal and rest with a view of the boats. We walked up to the hillside village which was beautiful. The rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels and linen twice during our week. The breakfast is excellent with fantastic freshly baked goodies and all options to suit taste. The hosts are wonderful.. very friendly and helpful… I can see why people return frequently and stay long term. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Oasis of calm
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sofia Hotel in Kampos. The room was spacious with newly painted white walls and a fridge which was handy and a lovely private balcony overlooking the lovely pool area. I would describe the pool area as an oasis of calm because of the setting and lovely palm trees surrounding it. Mount Kerkis looked amazing at the back of hotel and once on the beach all you could see were mountains and trees. The hotel was situated two minutes walk away from the large beach and the restaurants were a few minutes walk away too. There were no hills so suitable for all age groups. There were many bars and restaurants to choose from. Our favourite restaurants were Kevin's restaurant very close to hotel as it was by far the cheapest in Kampos and the swordfish steak was amazing. Kleopatras was also on top of the list because of its lamb kleftiko and sea bass. Our favourite bar was called Island as the frozen strawberry daiquiris were delicious and in extremely large glasses so good value for money and the music was very good. Yiannis was also a lovely man who owned the bar.
We missed Nova on the last day as she was extremely busy but would like to thank you for being so friendly, helpful and informative. We will recommend the hotel to friends and family as it was such a relaxing break and not built up like other resorts but enough to do during the day and in the evenings. Well done for all your hard work. The rest of the team were extremely hard working too and this is a great family run hotel close to all amenities. There are many return visitors and I can see why they return each year.

Super Special Sofia
Hotel Sofia – a little gem with a LOT of heart
I’m ridiculously late writing this review… but maybe that’s because I’ve been trying to put into words just how much I loved my time at Hotel Sofia!
I travelled to Samos on my own and stayed at Hotel Sofia in Kampos for 11 nights, and from the minute I arrived I felt so welcome. It quickly became much more than just a place to stay .. it felt like a little home from home.
There are so many things I’ll remember: the beautiful, peaceful gardens, the lovely pool, the mountain views, the short stroll down to the beach and, of course, those amazing breakfasts! Every morning was something to look forward to — fresh, plentiful and absolutely delicious. I may have become slightly too attached to breakfast!
But it’s the people and the little touches that really make Sofia special.
Nova was an absolute star and deserves a special mention. She even came to the rescue to rescue an old horse Mr Bones Anyone who knows the story will understand… and it was one of those wonderfully special experiences that I'll remember.
And then there was Amanda, with her brilliant personality and hilarious, quirky towel art. I genuinely looked forward to discovering what towel creation would appear next! It’s those little touches of fun and kindness that make a place feel special.
As a solo traveller, I particularly appreciated the warmth and friendliness. I never felt like “just another guest”. There was always a smile, a chat, someone checking everything was okay — but never in a way that felt intrusive.
And what a fantastic base Kampos is. I had such a brilliant time exploring Samos running along the coast, eating wonderful Greek food, taking a fishing boat trip, discovering secluded beaches and sea caves and generally having the most wonderful adventures.
But coming back to Sofia at the end of the day was always a pleasure.
I think sometimes you can stay somewhere incredibly luxurious and forget it almost immediately. Hotel Sofia is different. It has personality, warmth and heart. ❤️
I left Samos feeling incredibly lucky that I had found this little gem and with a genuine sadness at saying goodbye to everyone.
Thank you, Nova, Amanda and all the team at Hotel Sofia for making my 11 nights so memorable.
I arrived as a solo traveller… and left feeling like I’d made some lovely new friends.
I’ll definitely be back. ☀️
And yes… I’m already missing those breakfasts!

The best hotel ever - a home from home.
This is possibly the easiest review I've ever had to write because this is definitely, by far and a way, the best hotel I've ever stayed abroad or in the UK.
Why is that?
Easy. The people who run this hotel. Vasilli, Manolli, Nova plus Amanda and Maria on cleaning run this place to a tea. And nothing is too much trouble for them. My parents have been coming here for 18 years and after this week I can see why.
Let's get into the nitty gritty first. I stayed in room 7 on the ground floor. Don't expect the Ritz. The rooms are clean and basic. But this is a two star hotel and they go above and beyond two stars in the room alone. Your room is cleaned daily and even your pyjamas are nearly folded for you (except Sundays). You're provided with basic toiletries (added bonus) and a really useful folder with information on the hotel and resort. Do read it - it contains valuable info! My mattress was hard and firm - this is ideal for me but is not for everyone but if it's not speak to the wonderful Nova who will instantly sort you out a mattress topper. More later about her - she is a shining star!
The pool is gorgeous, I saw Manolli and Vasilli maintaining it daily. I think I set my apple watch to 16m and it tracked my swims fairly accurately. The pool bar serves bar snacks between 12 and 4 (3 on a Sunday) and I had the Egg, chips and cheesy mayo - it's to die for!
The bar obviously serves the usual array of beers, soft drinks and even a cider! The cocktail menu is amazing. Try the Passionfruit Surprise. I also had the peach daiquiri. Both beautiful drinks.
Breakfasts are served every morning from 8am and Nova shines. Absolute amazing selection of cold meats, cheeses, cereals, fruits, yoghuts, cakes - you name it she's got it! Teas, coffees and juices too. And eggs done to how you like them (not poached). Fried, scrambled, omelettes - you're in eggy heaven.
On Saturday nights there is a BBQ for €22.50. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know everyone at the hotel. Throughout the year there's plenty of regulars and they're all friendly but if you go in late July-late September seek out Jolele. She is basically Hotel Sofias unofficial info guide and will give you so much info about what to see and do, not only in Kambos but on the island too.
And I've never gone to bed smiling so much after an evening at the bar with Vasilli. He's a great character and you can tell this hotel means the world to him. The original hotel owners, his parents Stavros and Sofia can still be seen about and they are both wonderful people.
I only stayed for 7 days but wished it was longer and that's down down the amazing team.
Tips - book direct with Hotel Sofia for best rates and for the air conditioning added in (a must!)
The pool is quietest before 12 and after 5.
There is a section in reception where guests have left behind unneeded items like beach shoes, toiletries, kettles and plugs. Check this out.
