We stayed at Semeli for 8 nights and overall the experience was just average , I’m not sure we would stay again.
We booked two Superior Double Garden View rooms, but the quality between them was very inconsistent. One had a small balcony facing a basketball court, while the other didn’t even have a window that could open, leaving it with a damp smell. Both rooms felt outdated and poorly maintained for the price. Small details were disappointing: no espresso machine, just a rusty kettle with instant coffee sachets; worn furniture; amenities (like Q-tips and makeup pads) never replenished; slippers not replaced when missing. Housekeeping often overlooked basics -a cockroach we killed on day one remained on the balcony until the end of our stay, and even empty snack bowls weren’t cleared for days. Pool towels were very old, and closet drawers didn’t close properly, which added to the shabby impression.
On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful, both at reception and concierge. Breakfast was nice, decent (not outstanding, but with nice touches like homemade cakes and tarts. The location is excellent, only a 3-minute walk to Mykonos town, and the parking with electric car charging was very convenient.
All in all, Semeli has great staff and location, but the upkeep of the rooms and housekeeping standards need serious improvement to justify the price. Unfortunately, these issues made our stay less pleasant, and we’d likely look for another option next time.
