Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just a joke of an establishments for food , me and my girlfriend order together but they decided to bring her starter and main course out together and left me waiting 10-15 mins for my food. For my starter I asked for a prawn cocktail which cost 13 euro , the waiter came back and said they can not
Make a prawn cocktail bit can make something similar …. When the bill came I was charged 22 euro for some disgusting prawns …. My girlfriend was then charge 2 euro extra for the tinest pinch of cheese with her bolognese…. The owner who I assume is the old man and women by the till are nothing short of rude and ignorant people .. avoid at all costs much better places around the area

Papa's is located right on the beach, with lovely seating areas. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices are normal. During this covid-19 time, the staff wore mouth masks and the furniture was regularly disinfected.

Papa’s beach bar was my favourite beach bar in Kos. He always made us feel very welcome greeted us and helped us with our bikes, showed us to our sun beds or to a table. We visited so many times that we felt we’d made a friend on holiday. He’s a kind genuine host that goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and we will definitely return one day. Keep up the good work and wishing you and your family good health. Charlie

We found this bar via trip advisor, it definitely lives up to the reviews as we ended up visiting 3 times during our week’s holiday.
Great staff, all very friendly and hospitable, taking the time to chat and make you feel welcome. Food and drinks were fab and well priced. The beach near our hotel was stony and uninviting so it was nice to spend a few hours here on the sand after lunch.
If we return to Kos we will definitely pay Papa and the team another visit.

Looked for this place after reading reviews. Did not disappoint. Welcomed by Pappa as soon as we entered & taken to 2 sunbeds. Lovely chilled out beach bar- had a few drinks & then sat in the areas with lots of cushions in for cocktails & food. Superb place - staff serving work all day up & down the beach with orders & all with a smile & sense of humour. Waitress today was brilliant. Pappa has created a real gem here - you MUST go we left around 8pm it was so relaxing didn't want to leave. Will definitely go back as here for 2 weeks in Kos Town. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️

We were 2 families (4 adults and 5 children) with 4 and 5 year olds and we passed Papas and stopped to get out of the heat and have a bit of lunch. We couldn’t have wanted more from Papas, the staff were so accommodating and welcoming with nothing being too much trouble! We took a one of the big relaxing huts and enjoyed chilling out and chatting, there was no pressure to move on even after we had finished eating. The food came quickly and was really tasty. Papa even bought drinks for the adults and a platter of fruit for the kids. Would definitely recommend and will be going back!

we were out for a walk and decided to stop for drinks by the sea. The first place we came across was Papas.
The guy was pleasant and invited us to come in so we sat down. We didn't get a drinks menu only a food menu.
We knew what we wanted so just ordered our usual, a coffee, an orange juice and a beer.
When it came to pay, there was no bill. We were told the total was 14 euros, with no breakdown of costs etc.
Suffice to say it is not the best beach bar in Kos but a rip off.
I have been to much nicer and cheaper beach bars than this.
Theodorou Beach comes to mind..There you get a menu and a bill so you see what you are paying for

First of of all the menu is online so you can check the prices and also at all the tables you are sitting there is a qr to check on your phone .
So I don’t get what you are saying when no one inform you what you are paying . If we are not in your budget is ok no problem we can not please everyone.
But being cheap is not a reason to write a bad review just don’t come here again and we say that with a smile
There are places for everyone .
But please don’t write 💩 we are the fist bussines in kos that implemented online ordering and all our menu and prices are online .
So please respectfully ……………

Great service and great food. Also many different and especially tasty drinks (bueno and Snickers cocktail was I think one of my favorite or the frozen diquari)
There were plenty of cots at this time of year but in the summer I think you have to come on time (you also have different prices that you have to spend for certain places, you certainly get the prices if you are here maybe for half a day but certainly if you are there a whole day, unless you are of course stingy😜)

Nice place, nice staff and good food at fair prices. The owner of the place is super nice and friendly, ready to welcome and lead you straight down to a free sunbed (however, it should be mentioned that you have to buy for 5 euros to get it). We ordered their pure gyros, which were really delicious and filling. All in all a really nice day we had. We have already decided to go back there one of the other days while we are here :)

Hi, do u have music playing by the beach and also do u sell champagen, thinking of coming here to celebrate my 18th with about 10 others?
Written 19 June 2019
Hi,
There was indeed music playing when I was around. However the beachbar next to it plays music as well. So I would recommend you to lay in the middle of the area. I also saw a bottle of Moët if I am not mistaken. However to be sure I would call / visit a day before to make sure they keep one
