Accommodation Scams in Rhodes Town

Old Town Guesthouse Hidden Charges Inside the Walls

Small guesthouses and pensions within the medieval walls of Rhodes Old Town — particularly on Omirou Street and the lanes off Sokratous Street — quote a base room rate by phone or on booking sites but add separate charges on checkout for electricity, air conditioning, towels, and a "historical zone" tax that is not a legitimate government levy. The charges are presented on an informal handwritten receipt with no itemised breakdown.
