Rates checked in September 2026. Under its single-fee structure, Airbnb charges most hosts 15.5%; Airbnb says other hosts typically pay between 14% and 16%. Exceptions depend on country and account type. Booking.com sets the commission rate in each accommodation agreement, and visibility programmes may increase it. This worked example uses a possible range of 15% to 25%. If Booking.com facilitates payment, the applicable payment terms and transaction cost are contract-specific. Our 3.9% cost contribution is included in the displayed total and contributes towards Stripe payment fees and refunds. BookNoFees earns nothing from it. Nothing is added at checkout and nothing is deducted from the owner. Fee models can change, so please check each platform’s current terms.

About Rhodes
Staying in Rhodes
Rhodes is the sun-soaked anchor of the Dodecanese, a place where a walled medieval city sits a short walk from open beaches and warm shallow bays. Its Old Town, ringed by stone fortifications raised by the Knights of St John, is one of Europe's best-preserved inhabited medieval centres and a UNESCO World Heritage Site; you can wander cobbled lanes, the Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master without ever seeing a car. Beyond the walls, Rhodes Town blends a working harbour, cafes and Ottoman and Italian-era architecture. South down the coast, the whitewashed village of Lindos climbs to a clifftop acropolis above two curving bays, while Faliraki draws visitors who want resorts, watersports and a livelier evening scene. The island's east coast offers softer, sandier swimming, and the west catches the breeze that windsurfers chase. Add reliable sunshine across a long season, easy ferry and flight links, and villages inland that still feel unhurried, and Rhodes rewards both first-timers and returners.
Good to know
Vacation rentals in Rhodes — FAQ
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
Late spring and early autumn — roughly May, June, September and into October — tend to be the sweet spot, with warm sea temperatures, long days and thinner crowds than the July and August peak. High summer is hot and busy but ideal for beach days, while spring brings green hills and wildflowers before the heat sets in.
How do I get to Rhodes?
Rhodes has its own international airport near Ialysos with seasonal flights from across Europe and year-round links to Athens. You can also arrive by ferry: routes connect Rhodes with Piraeus and with neighbouring Dodecanese islands such as Kos and Symi, making island-hopping straightforward if you have time.
Is Rhodes good for families?
Yes. Many east-coast beaches shelve gently into calm, shallow water, and areas like Kalithea, Faliraki and the resort strips have easy amenities. The Old Town is a car-free adventure for older children, and the aquarium, valley walks and boat trips give families plenty of variety beyond the sand.
Do I need a car on Rhodes?
It helps if you want to explore freely. Rhodes is a large island, and a car makes it easy to reach Lindos, quieter southern beaches and inland villages at your own pace. If you plan to base yourself in Rhodes Town or one resort, buses and taxis can cover most needs, so a car isn't essential for every trip.
What does booking direct on BookNoFees mean for my Rhodes stay?
You can message the host before booking. For a booking request, Stripe first places a card hold for the full amount; the host has 48 hours to accept, and only then is the amount captured. Instant Book is charged immediately after Stripe confirms payment. Do not transfer the booking amount directly to the host. The displayed total already includes the 3.9% cost contribution for Stripe payment fees and refunds.
Why book a Rhodes stay through BookNoFees instead of a big platform?
BookNoFees deducts no commission from the amount set by the host. The displayed total includes a 3.9% cost contribution for Stripe payment fees and refunds, and BookNoFees earns nothing from it. Nothing is added at checkout.
