Trust Car Rentals - (Car Rental on Kos)

Rik G          1/10

Just returned from Kefalos and whilst there booked two tours with Trust, the first was the fishing BBQ and this was really good fun, went out on a big boat and used hand lines to catch local fish with every fish you caught earning you a shot of ouzo!! Captain Yanni was a real hoot and kept everyone entertained!

Second tour was the day trip to Turkey and the service provided by trust was appalling, the driver was late picking us up and if one of the English staff member had not come down to see her local boyfriend off i doubt anyone would have turned up, there were 8 of us going on the trip and the driver turned up with a 6 seater car so another driver and car had to be found which further delayed things, either way as a result we were late getting to the ferry port and missed the hydrofoil which meant we had to catch the ferry and instead of arriving in Turkey at 09:20 we didn't get there til 11:30.
When they came to pick us up that evening they again bought the 6 seater and insisted we all get into it, all 8 of us!!
Having kicked up a fuss about the safety of doing this, during which the driver Savvi threatened to make us walk home, Yianni eventually sent out a second car which met us about 5 miles out of Kefalos!
When we got back to the office, Yianni was waiting and said the reason there was only one car was the other car had taken a holiday maker to hospital after standing on a fish and being stung, whilst i will not say Yianni is lying the fact the previous author who wrote about this is from BRACKPOOL rather than BLACKPOOL i would suggest that maybe Yianni has written the previous log to make himself look better and just to clarify i am not the moaning Brit described, when i spoke to Yianni it was much later and my wife and i were the only tourists present!!
I am not a disgruntled traveller, i thought Kefalos was great and would recommend it to anyone, i just wouldn't recommend Trust, there are far more professional outfits in Kefalos.
Its a shame as well because the English girls that work at Trust are really nice and work for a pittance!!!
 
If you have read all of this i hope it helps.
 

Manolis - (Car Rental on Kos)

Rik G          10/10

Just returned from Kefalos and hired a Quad bike for two days from Manolis.

They were superb, no problems at all and were really friendly!!

Bike was virtually brand new and worked perfectly for both days we had it.

Hermes Hotel - (Accommodation in Kefalos)

Rik G          10/10

 Have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Hermes and would recommend it to anyone!!

The hotel and pool and spotlessly clean and the towels were changed every day, the rooms themselves were fairly basic and you had to pay extra for air con (about 48 euros a week, £5 a day) which i thought was a bit steep!
 
The staff are fantastic and the owners Diane and Sebastian are really lovely and can not do enough to help you out.

The walk to and from the beach to the hotel is uphill but nothing more than an incline and after a nice meal in the local travernas it was nice to work off some of the calories!!
 
The breakfast was a bit poor with either toast and jam or cornflakes on offer!

I dont understand people than moan about the rooms and stuff, you would think they except their own home when they go away, the rooms were basic but spotlessly clean and were only a place to rest your head!!
The pool was brilliant and there were plenty of sunbeds!!
Overall, a great holiday, really relaxing!!! Thanks to all the staff!!
