Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We focused on officially five-star hotels with consistently strong guest reviews — typically scoring between 9.0 and 10.0 on leading booking sites, with accolades such as Travellers' Choice to back them up. This ensures a reliable standard across rooms, facilities, housekeeping and service.
What sets each property apart
Hotels with clear distinguishing features were given priority: suites with private pools or swim-up access, infinity pools looking out to the open sea, award-winning spas, curated wine lists, fine-dining concepts and recognition such as a MICHELIN Key or Small Luxury Hotels of the World membership.
Location and surroundings
We considered beachfront positions, natural outlooks and a reasonable distance from Kos Town or the local villages. The selection balances seclusion — for those after genuine peace and quiet — with easy access to culture, shopping and the harbourside.
