Reviews about Kerkyra Village Studios 3
The hotel has a rating of "below average" reviews in Russianresources and "above average" in English. Does this indicate that our compatriots are accustomed to a different kind of rest? Probably yes.
But objectively, almost all guests are in solidarity with the fact that breakfasts at the hotel are not very good. The food is of low quality, mainly serving pastries, cookies, store bought snacks and instant coffee. Also, some tourists spoke unflatteringly about the service at the hotel, the workers at the reception are not permanent, and if they are at the workplace, they react sluggishly and dismissively to the requests of guests.
On the positive side, most of the guests confirmed that the village of Benitses and the territory of the hotel are very beautiful, the maids are conscientious, they clean well. The internet works well and it's really free. The beach and the very atmosphere of relaxation in Corfu are also described by tourists in a very positive way.
