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.

When we arrived at the Polikandia, my travel companion was suffering from Covid, and Dimitri and his family could not have been nicer or more helpful. They even brought a sandwich to my friend in his room. Meanwhile, the beautiful pool area and location just outside the picturesque town of Hora with its many shops and restaurants kept me happy and entertained. The rooms are very comfortable, and the beds are superb -- they are firm, but a soft mattress topper is available immediately upon request. Of all the places we stayed in Greece, I will remember the Polikandia most fondly.

A beautiful small "village" within the village of Chora, in Folegandros. The owner, Dimitris, went out of his way to make us feel at home. And from what I was able to observe, that was the case with every guest. The breakfast in the morning was plentiful, the drinks at the pool tasty and potent. The pool was a beautiful set up. And the room was quiet, with a balcony overlooking the fields beyond. What more could one ask for? :)

We stayed here as a group while visiting the island for a holiday. They could not have been nicer. No request was impossible and they were even able to source us a pram after one of our group had lost their baby's pram. Hire cars were provided to us so we could explore the island as well. The rooms were clean and comfortable with great amenities included and the staff were fantastic. one of the group summed it up beautifully; its was like staying with yia yia

A really wonderful hotel. Gorgeous pool area which looks beautiful in the evening with the lighting. Lovely plants and a fantastic artistic feel to the place. Very peaceful and yet just a few minutes walk to the main town square. Family run place and very helpful staff .We had one of the slightly larger rooms with a lounge area and a separate bedroom.

Dimitri and the staff at Pollikandia do a wonderful job making this oasis stand out as a wonderful place to stay on Folegandros. From the level of service to the beautiful pool and patio area, Pollikandia is somewhere I would not hesitate to stay at again.

We've returned yet again to our most chilled place to come on holiday. The Polkandia is a family run hotel, they can never do enough for us, we are always made so welcome, part of the family. Dmitry ensures all of the planning and logistics for our trip are well taken care of, Yannis, Anna, Arula and Stelios & Gloria are amazing, unfortunately we missed Maria this year. The place is spotless clean, breakfast great & nothing is too much trouble. Picking us up from the helipad when times had changed last minute was no issue, ensuring all guests were looked after during sudden torrential rain, organising cars, recommending great places to go. Truly amazing and we will be back next year.

We recently stayed at the Polikandia as a base for our nieces wedding at the Church of Panagia. The hotel is in an ideal location just on the entrance into Chora and perfect for the walk to the church.From picking us up at the port to final checkout, Dimitri and all his family were exceptional hosts, so friendly and welcoming. It is beautiful place to stay and I have no reservations in recommending the Polikandia for anybody visiting Folengandros.

My wife and I visited Folegandros for the first time and spent a wonderful 6 nights at Polikandia Hotel. Stelios and Dimitris made us feel so welcome, the property was the prettiest on the island, it was kept meticulously clean and had magnificent views to Panagia Church up on the mountain. They had the best position on the island, central to everything, a beautiful pool with gardens, and their breakfast was one of the most delicious I’ve ever had on any Greek island. Don’t bother looking at other hotels in Folegandros. This is truly the only hotel you should consider.

Centrally located in Chora (imo you don't want to stay anywhere else on the island), with a sparkling pool, shaded lounge areas, thoughtful outdoor hot shower (you'll appreciate this as you kill time after checkout before your ferry arrives), spotless tho smallish rooms (we were in room 19), Polikandia is a top spot to stay in Folegandros. It doesn't have sexy IG in Greece vibes w sleek furniture and killer views but it has traditional charm and warm Greek hospitality. The breakfast buffet was above average and the cappuccino freddos I had poolside the best I've ever had (prev record held by one I had in Ostuni Italy!).

We had wonderful stay at Polikandia. Dimitris is front of house and was great at making us feel welcome and looked after. We enjoyed the complimentary transit service from port to hotel and back on arrival and departure. We took two pool-side rooms for a family of 5 and appreciated the immediate view up to the Church of Panagia being able to take a few steps to the water and loungers. We were there at the height of summer, but it never felt too busy in the hotel. The breakfast spreads were good and the access to adjacent car rental parking was convenient for beach trips. The location of hotel is just great for access to the beautiful Chora and all of its delights. We would have liked to have stayed longer than 4 nights.
