Pension Sofia

Hosts were highly friendly and welcoming. Room faced the sea, powerful a/c, and complimentary water. Small bathroom but very clean. Would stay here again.

Great stay. Walkable to the port and to bus station to go to naoussa. Very friendly staff, very responsive.

I am conflicted about my stay here. On the plus side: very beautiful property. Very close to the Port of Parikia. Quiet and peaceful surroundings. Great price. Clean room. Loved the balcony. One the minus side: overall I found the customer service somewhat disorganized, poor, and lacking warmth. My sister had weird issues upon check-in: her reservation (the host showed no record of her reservation upon arrival?), the room size she paid for was not the room she got, and her room had no power at all when she checked in. We had to search for and flag down a man (presumably the host's husband?) in order to flip the breaker to get the power to come back on. There are no signs with information on how things in the room work (such as the power/light switch, the AC, and the shower, which were quite tricky - at least for me and the guest across the hall, too) and the hostess became quite hostile when she had to come to my room one night at 10pm to help me with the AC to get it to work. At that moment, I wanted to pack up and leave and go to another hotel. It seemed as if something was wrong (outside of the B&B) that was affecting her ability to be happy, warm, and welcoming with her guests. I also got the distinct feeling (from older reviews) that this accommodation used to be a lot more customer-friendly in their offerings (such as breakfast, and rides to/from the port, etc) and now, once you check in, you are basically on your own. I usually have such wonderful connections with my hosts, and this experience just left me feeling very flat, cold, and a bit sad. I avoided her as much as possible after the AC incident because I was so uncomfortable around her. In summary, with improvements to customer service, Pension Sofia could be such a heavenly place to stay. However, as it is, while I would go back to Paros in a heartbeat, I would definitely choose another accommodation for my stay. I have enjoyed so many amazing and kind hosts around the world (including other Greek islands), but this experience definitely fell short, and sadly, I would not recommend this accommodation experience for your stay in Paros.

Beautiful, spacious room , great bathroom and shower .Beautiful big garden, big balcony. Its very close to the port and old town , Sofia is an amazing and helpful host.she can help you hire a car ,parking space is available next to the house. Highly recommended!

When preparing the trip of my daughter and I, I have tried to book two nights directly on this pension website this summer but never received any confirmation. Without any confirmation I booked somewhere else. The night before the initial date, staying at another pension in another island, I received a call of the pension. I have made very clear that I never got any confirmation of my booking but the pension nevertheless charged me. I have contacted the online booking service the pension uses and no one answered my mail. You will agree that it doesn't make any sens for us to book, and pay, several rooms at different places the same time. Should I have received an email confirmation or any written communication I would have made may arrangements differently. Despite several calls and emails with the Sofia owner I was fully charged. I have no idea what went wrong in the process, all i can say is be careful. For my own part I think it is a shame.
