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.

This cute little hotel is made a million times better by the staff… everyone is so friendly from reception to manager to cleaners. The pool is lovely especially at night, the bar is fully stocked with every spirit you can think of.
I would 1million percent hire a car for a few days as it’s a long walk to the main beach. Although reviews say it’s a short walk to the beach it’s a remote little part of the beach where the locals take a quick dip and lay on towels.
It’s a 15 minute drive to Kos old town and so beautiful.
The only two negatives I have to say about the hotel is the breakfasts are not great, I don’t eat cheese or melon so not great choice. The other negative is that the tiles at the entrance to the room bathroom is a raised step and my mum broke her toe on it as there’s no warning or edging on it.

You need to hire the control of u want to use the air conditioning and the windows have a mesh to stop bugs which is a bonus.

We had a late flight home and the manager only charged us €30 to keep our room until 9pm which was such a relief. He changed rooms around for us to be able to keep our room which is one of the reasons I’d go back so thanku

Perfect little hotel for a family stay. Staff were all absolutely brilliant and so friendly , we were made very welcome from day 1. Clean and tidy throughout. The pool area was great. This hotel is a little way outside of the main resort along the beach road which makes it very peaceful but might be a bit too far out for some. About 5 mins walk to the sea for a morning swim. 20 mins walk to nearest supermarket, 30-35 mins walk to beach bars,tavernas etc on the main beach road. Easily walkable but bus stops nearby if you don't fancy it. Hiring bikes or a car are also a good idea, we did both and explored a lot of the island. Air-con was good and quite modern , well worth the extra charge as it was very hot when we visited. Make sure you stay in for at least one Greek night, it was great and food was good. Thank you to everyone at the Blue nest for a great holiday !

The blue nest is a really lovely hotel the staff work extremely hard and are so friendly the place is spotless. It’s the perfect hotel if you want to totally relax .The food is very reasonably priced and tasty having breakfast is an added bonus . There is a nice little taverna next door which is also very reasonably priced the hotel itself is quite remote and a good 45 minute walk to the strip we’re all restaurants are and a good 30 minute walk to the closest supermarket and beach with loungers on which ordinarily is no problem but add in the heat and it becomes really hard work we hired a car and arranged it with the hotel as they can get a really good price with the local car hire I would definitely recommend doing it through them . The bus stop is 5 mins away we used it once and it was great cost €2 in to the strip and walk back when the heat of the sun is less we did lots of things on our trip zia to watch the sunset is well worth it as is a trip to kos town and the local lido which is great fun and all with a short drive of the hotel I would definitely recommend this hotel as a perfect place to relax and explore the island the people of kos are very friendly as we have found with all Greek islands.

I often peruse the reviews from other travellers on hotel websites, it helps my decision making, so this is going to be honest and may not be popular!
The staff make this hotel. From the owner George to the cleaners we met in the mornings, always everyone had a smile and a greeting. Blue Nest is situated around 1.5miles from the strip in Tigaki, a good 30/40 min walk into town, or a very good bus service only 7min walk away. 1.80 euro into the square, and 2.10 euro into Kos town. Taxi was 9 euro in evenings back from the strip.
From the outset we knew this hotel was only a 3 star, so, although away a bit from central area, it was quiet and peaceful.
The rooms.....we booked 2 bungalows, obviously we did not know how the set up was for these, in a group of 3 ladies, 2 had an upper floor, and I was placed on ground floor. As a single lady I wasn't happy, I couldn't leave door open at night for air, for security purposes, but that was not my only concern. The original room was very dark, had huge step down from bathroom into bedroom, the loo seat was wobbly, in bathroom, every time I took the towel from plastic hanger on wall the whole thing fell to the floor. But my biggest annoyance was when I found ants crawling over my toilet bag, and my toothbrush!. I also will say that after 2 nights in this room and speaking with george, I was moved to an upper floor, which was much more serviceable. My friends had an issue with their toilet pipe leaking onto the floor, which was a bit of a health hazard, after chasing a few times, within a few days, this was fixed eventually.
I do think when the season is over, there needs to be some maintenance work within the rooms, the outside of rooms look fine, but some better management inside rooms where guests stay is very important.
Breakfast options are very basic, diff cereals, watermelon for fruit, fresh baguettes cut into rounds, some fresh baked cakes, cheese/meat and few other bits. It was fine and kept us going.
We prefer the beach to a pool and I knew before going we could use the facilities at Irina Beach hotel, just before the bus stop. There is a huge pool also, but also a great beach and we tended to decamp there for the day. Loungers free to use, (we paid 12 euro for 2 loungers/parasol on beach 1st day) and there is a lovely poolside place to get food and drinks. For us we preferred this outlook.
To summarise, this is a basic greek hotel, run by delightful people who clearly want to make your stay enjoyable. We had a lovely holiday overall.

This was our 2nd visit to blue nest and yet again it did not fail to give our party such a wonderful holiday, they all go out of their way to give a brilliant customer service, any query or request was never to much trouble whether it was George the manager, Anna the housekeeper, Satiros and Sara at the bar as well as the back room staff we can’t speak highly enough they are the stars of this hotel. If a quiet peaceful hotel is your wish this is the place we never had to fight for sun beds regardless of the time of day, the food is very reasonably priced and plenty of choice, there are only a couple of Tavernas with in walking distance but for a more lively evening a short bus/taxi ride to Tigaki takes about 5-10 minutes, if you are adventurous hiring a bike is great fun especially as the coast roads are very flat it’s a great way to find less crowded beaches we 4 are all in our 60s and had no problems, evening entertainment at the hotel is low key but there is a Greek night and a 70/80s DJ night. We will be back.

Second year back at this fab hotel. What's not to like!! Beautiful pool area - rooms kept spotless by the friendly cleaning staff - great food & drinks - and a manager - George - who makes sure any queries are dealt with quickly so you can just sit back - relax and enjoy this wonderful hotel - in its own spacious grounds. The sea is a 4 min walk away. The buzzy resort of Tigaki is easily reached by bus in under 10 mins. I've stayed in hotels all over the world and this is - without doubt - one of my favourites!

As with most reviews on the BN they all say it makes a great base to visit Kos and I would agree totally. It’s a good spot close to beach with Tigaki Main Street a good 40minute walk either along road or on beach so it’s a pleasant walk but also a great bus service will get you there for 1.80 on the hour. All the staff at BN are very helpful can’t do enough for you and will give advice on anything. Pool area is small but peaceful with a bar service all day for refreshments and food. Rooms are basic and cleaned everyday. They have tv and fridge no kettle. I would recommend hiring pushbikes as it’s a great island for bikes and we got as far as Kos town with kids seem to get more respect from cars than in UK. Definitely recommend the restaurant next door which is in a vineyard superb food and of course wine. And Greek night in the BN was a great laugh give it a go! Also one last thing the cleaners work exceptionally hard and always say hello!! 🇬🇷🍷👌

This was a last minute (4 weeks before flight) booking. We wanted sun and chill. We are early 40’s with a 7 year old. We booked 6 nights bnb.
I’m writing this at the very end of our last night.

The good…
First and most importantly, what a chilled, no pressure place. Great staff. Attentive but not in your face. Super friendly.
Good, spacious room and balcony. Watch the steps to the bathroom but it’s not a drama.
The warmest pool ever experienced!! Even though the deep end is 3 metres!
When our son got a burnt face (6+ hours in the pool daily) was given fresh aloe Vera that was just amazing.
Greek night, your usual, not me, I don’t want to dance but all ended up dancing and having fun.
Genuinely, small place but never over crowded. Weird really but then the pool was so warm no one was fighting over beds!
Great cocktails, generous alcohol portions.
Wine is decent too. €12 euro a litre. We only had dry white but it was very nice.
Negronis top class and only €8!
Bus is €2 pp ew to tigakiki- really easy return journey for something different.

The average (there’s no bad)
The step to the bathroom, both me and my husband separately fell into the bathroom - no one died or broke a bone - just watch the step.
The shop is 15 min walk - do it when you get here. First thing. Better snacks. Full size fridge do you can avoid paying for food every day.
Breakfast would be what you’d have at home and more. Dont moan. I know you’re on holiday but you don’t need 5 courses. It’s not amazing but it does the job. Bread, ham, meat, cheese, 3 cereal, milk, yogurt and some other bits. You’ll survive.
It’s quiet and slow most nights but always pleasant. We had a 7 year old in tow that could stay with us until 11ish without experiencing any silly behaviour.

As a summary, it’s 3* so you get what you pay for. That said, we’d genuinely come back and appreciate the chilled holiday with the option of a cheap 10 minute bus to the strip.

We knew we had booked a budget hotel so didn’t expect too much from the rooms but was a bit further away from Tigkaki strip than expected, about a 40 minute walk so we had to get a taxi on an evening. The breakfast was very basic and could do with a toast machine. However the staff are amazing at the hotel and can’t do enough for you. Also it was like you had your own private pool in the day as not many people seem to stay by the pool so that was lovely. Overall we had a great holiday at blue nest!

What a wonderful holiday we have had! Blue Nest is nestled in a beautiful part of Kos, right by the beach with Mountain View’s. Rooms are basic, but have everything you need. What makes this hotel so special is it’s staff; right from the initial welcome we received, right up until we are about to leave (later today!) every single member of staff has gone above and beyond. Nothing is too much trouble. The bar staff are fabulous and soon felt like old friends, the menu is varied and well priced, should you need lunch or dinner too. The hotel owner and front of house staff have also been amazing - going so far as to drive us into town when a taxi wouldn’t pick us up for another 30minutes. We all loved this holiday so much (2 adults and 7 &5 year olds) and it was all due to this hotel. We can’t wait to come back!
