★★★ 8.2 (31 reviews)

"Dimitrs resort was a great find. Friendly helpful staff,great swimming pool and ice cold beer.The rooms have a shady outside area(which is good when extremely hot).The room was clean and the a/c was cold. Good family rooms with 2 bed plus bunk beds. The evenings there are quiet and peaceful. Quick tip,there's no kettle in the room but ask and it's no problem to get 1. Also smart tv in the room which is a big plus. Dimitri himself is a good guy and will try to help you as much as he can.Thanks for the glasses."

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments

📍 Matala, Matala
★★★ 8.0 (29 reviews)

"This was disappointing. Booked a room for 4 and was told when I got to the hotel that there were no rooms available, but I should get an extra bed in the room. When we returned after dinner at the restaurant at midnight, there was no bed. The person at the reception just said that there was no bed available. Got an extra room on another floor. This room was filthy and had no working A/C! No refund or compensation after discussions with the hotel. The restaurant in the hotel was far below average. This hotel is not recommended! There are many other local rooms and houses that maintain a much better standard at a lower price!"

📍 Zaros, Faistos
★★ 9.1 (44 reviews)

"Great accomodation, modern rooms, great location close to Zaros (Votomos) lake. We were surprised how good the value for money is. The rooms are spacious with a great shower. The pool and the garden are phenomanal with beautiful mountain views and trees to offer shade. Also the restaurant is great, we ate here several times during our 3 night stay for lunch and diner. If you are into hiking it is along the road to a start point for several hikes. We used komoot for navigation but there are signs also. Would recommend for sure!"

Matala Hostel

Matala Hostel

📍 Epar.Od. Gortinas - Matalon, Matala
★★ 7.7 (7 reviews)

"I stayed at this hostel for one night during a music festival, and I had a really positive experience. The room was clean, the staff were very polite and helpful, and they even provided me with an extra blanket when I asked. The location is excellent—right next to the bus stop, just a 5–7 minute walk to the beach, and close to the city center. The room had a proper renovation, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and I slept comfortably. Overall, I enjoyed my stay"

Calypso Hotel

Calypso Hotel

📍 Matala, Matala
★★ 8.0 (15 reviews)

"Pretty exterior, pleasant swimming pool, spacious room, bedding a little hard. We had half board, a passable breakfast, a horrible dinner, we had to go and eat in town some days so much so that it was unacceptable, however, it's not difficult for us to avoid half board. Good location to visit matala"

Hotel Eva Marina

Hotel Eva Marina

📍 Matala, Matala
★★ 8.1 (10 reviews)

"The hospitality was warm and we were offered everything we needed during our stay without any problems or delays, especially during the period we were there during the Matala Beach Festival! The aesthetics of the hotel are traditional and the location is ideal, as it is only 2 minutes from the beach. The hosts are people with a lot of love and passion for what they do! Thank you very much for the hospitality, we will definitely visit it when we are there again!!"

Valley Village Hotels in Faistos

Valley Village

"We recently stayed in a charming bungalow accommodation and found it to be quiet, pleasant and comfortable. The bungalows are clean and nicely maintained, each featuring a nice private terrace set in a peaceful garden. The space is modest but functional. The layout is flat and easy to navigate, making it very suitable for guests with disabilities or young children. Parking is limited. Staff is friendly and efficacious. Breakfast is simple but enjoyable, with tables outside in the garden area. We did not tested dinner; the buffet was small. Matala beach is close, well equipped, not too crowed at beginning of the season (end May). Water shoes needed. As already identified multiple time in previous evaluation, there are many stray cats in/ around the hotel, most clearly in need for food and care. The current situation of hungry, unsterilized cats leads to overpopulation and suffering. This is causing distress both to the animals and to guests. The hotel management should organise sterilization and sufficient feeding stations. They are quiet and nice cats; many are/could be domestic ones. It’s heartbreaking. Until hotel management act, if you’re still planning to stay here and if you care about these animals, help: feed them discretely/sign on-line survey to authorities/donate to Creta association/adopt and/or continue lobbying hotel management. Stray cats are everywhere in Creta; I did only see worst in Cyprus with mistreatment and dying cats. Greece is worse than Africa on this topic. Situation in/around Matala is extremely bad, up to cats poisoning by exasperated; I did not find any local stray cats feeding/sterilization charity !"

Villa Koutsakis Hotels in Faistos

Villa Koutsakis

"I would like to say that this is the only negative experience in two weeks of holiday in Crete, with three huge oil ships to be trapped off the beach and one industrial establishment on the right. The beach is directly accessible from the hotel but it was under absolute degradation (waste around, broken shadows, artificial swamp pieces in the sand and large red-red nets on the edges of the beach). The rooms were completely scrapped and furnished with a garden table and some plastic chairs, so not suitable for dinner: two beds on three were rounded to not move at night. The "kitchen" consists of two malfunctioning electrical plates, one pad and a few stove, a mini refrigerator we had to turn off at night because it was lying every 10 minutes. Of course there is no trace of boiler, coffee machine, Plates ... all things we have always found in apartments that, among other things, cost much less. So in practice it is impossible to cook even a plate of pasta. In addition, the villa is located in a completely isolated area from everything: The first village with a mini market is about half an hour drive away, there is a decent single tavern in the surroundings, to reach the villa there is a fancy road and the last track is completely shredded in critical and very rigid conditions, I would like to add the only opinion that can be considered subjective about the owners' attitude that personally seemed unpleasant and cold. Not that they were hostile, because they answered my questions, but nothing to do with the sun and warm attitude that made us in love with Crete. In short, better avoid the villa Koutsakis, there are countless other better and even more cheap places where they spend the days."

Artemis Beach Studios Hotels in Faistos

Artemis Beach Studios

"Very beautiful place with sea view and an enchanting sunset from the terrace. The room, clean and fragrant, is well equipped with a mini fridge, electric stove, sink and all the accessories to be able to cook independently. The room is cleaned daily and the linen is changed every three days. We were pleasantly impressed by the kindness and helpfulness of the owner who welcomed us with great warmth, their aperitifs were excellent. The staff speaks English. The beach, in front of the room, is well equipped with a fixed umbrella and two deckchairs available to the structure at a cost of 5 euros per day which requires a representative of the municipality. In the immediate vicinity there are several bars and restaurants where you can eat very well at reasonable prices and a well-stocked supermarket. A rental car is recommended for getting around if you want to visit other beaches."

Melissa Hotel Hotels in Faistos

Melissa Hotel

"Room 15 Family type hotel that Marina, her husband and her daughter have run for a long time, very friendly people who made us have a pleasant stay, thank you to you Located 1 km from the center of Matala on a gentle slope which allows a short walk in the evening after dinner Functional room, well cleaned regularly during our 3-week stay Classic breakfast from 8 a.m. Evening meal served at the table on a plate set menu (the menu could be displayed in the morning which would have been a plus) , fresh produce, good cuisine In conclusion, good value for money"

Matala Dimitris Resort ★★★
"Worst experience in a hotel: absolutely avoid. I wouldn't even call the Dimitris Villa a "hotel": it's a country house masquerading as a tourist facility. We had booked a double room, but without any prior notice, we were assigned a single with two tiny beds, barely suitable for children. The bedding was embarrassing: a simple sheet placed directly on the mattress, without a mattress protector—definitely unhygienic (I've attached a photo). The room was cramped, not soundproofed (we could hear every word from the neighbors), and the bathroom was unusable: the shower and sink were completely clogged. The check-in (after 3:30 PM) and check-out times are inconvenient, and there's no real reception. The breakfast is extremely basic and definitely not worth the extra cost. But the worst came on the second day: after returning from a day at the beach, we found the room exactly as we'd left it—no cleaning, no towel change. After reporting the problem to the agency, they lied, saying they'd contacted us to fix the room, which never happened. I just wanted to leave, even if it meant losing my money! Non-existent service, neglected property, don't be fooled by the photos: this place is anything but a hotel. A complete scam!"

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments ★★★
"I was left a little disappointed, our bed was really hard and you could feel the springs, our air-conditioning wasn't cold, when reported to the owners of the hotel, they were less than friendly. The pool was really good and the breakfast was excellent, the outdoor barman was so friendly, and breakfast staff were as well. Would I stay again, no."

Idi Hotel ★★
"We spent two wonderful weeks at the Idi Hotel in Zaros and were delighted by the hospitality of this family-run establishment. The hotel's location at the foot of the majestic Psiloritis Mountains is spectacular. The rooms were comfortable and clean, equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We were impressed by the family atmosphere – the staff was always helpful and made us feel at home. Breakfast with local products was a daily highlight, and the proximity to the charming village of Zaros allowed us to experience authentic Cretan life. The hotel is very good value for money, and we will definitely return when we visit Crete again. Thank you for the wonderful time."

Matala Hostel ★★
"Excellent place with a friendly and very helpful host. The kitchen is clean, well-equipped, and there’s plenty of space throughout the hostel. I especially enjoyed the pool. Overall, I highly recommend this place. The only thing I missed was a bit more social atmosphere, but it’s still early in the season. Matala is a lovely location, and this hostel offers great value, especially when booking on their website."

Hotel Eva Marina ★★
"The 2* hotel is a few minutes from the beach and is perfect! I was there for 10 days at the end of May until 8th of June. My room was spotless, was cleaned every day by a very friendly young man and I got new sheets and towels every second day! The owners are so friendly and made me feel very welcome, their breakfast buffet and coffee was great. There were also some really tasty Greek delicacies in pastry and some Crêpes in Nutella! 😋 All in all I had a great stay and can highly recommend the Eva Marina!"

Galaxias Studios ★★★
"The property was lovely; our room had A/C and a mini-fridge with a freezer, and the balcony had a drying rack with clothespins. The bathroom had a shower, toilet, sink, and hairdryer, too! Haroula is the best: friendly, always happy, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. She's our new good friend, and so are the people in all the stores, bars, and restaurants. We will be staying with her again. Kalamaki is heaven on earth! It was the BEST vacation we've ever had; it was beautiful, charming, and fun. I highly, highly recommend Galaxias Studios and give it a 5-star rating! ***** !"
