Great place, location and owners. Apartaments are renovated and well equipped. There are two pools and bar with great good. Owners are fantastic giving you very friendly welcome and keep very comfortable during whole stay. Apts are very close to old city and shops area.

I booked for 3 people, for me and my 2 children, unfortunately I got a studio for 2. The hotel website says that 🛜 wifi is free in outside areas, that's not true at all, it costs 10 euros per person for 7 days. Air conditioning Kösters costs an extra 9 euros per day. On the same day I reported that the room was definitely not for 3 and asked to be given another room that I had paid for. The staff told me it was for 3 people and they didn't have any other free rooms. She was unfriendly and unhelpful. The room had 2 beds 90x 200 and a small sofa, it wasn't a proper sofa bed, it was about 70 wide and 160 long. Very bad experience, never again in this terrible hotel.

I was apprehensive looking at reviews before I travelled about rules against having a good holiday. I was met at reception by Fay - one of the owner family members - and settled into my room with no bother. The apartments and surrounds are spotless and the service from pleasant staff couldn't be any better. Guests had complained in reviews about having to pay for extras when it is standard at most apartments to pay for aircon etc. Wi-fi had to be paid for extra but that wasn't a problem as I paid roaming charges on my mobile when I needed to. Noise was the biggest complaint in reviews but the apartments are so close together that it was acceptable to ask guests to keep noise to a reasonable level after 11pm. Plus the metal stairways made one hell of a noise which really carried, especially at night. There was a rule about not entering each others rooms which I didn't agree with especially the part about being charged an amount of money if you did!! Since I travelled solo I didn't have any problems with any of the rules but you should be aware that the apartments may not suit everyone. It was about a 20 minute walk to the beach which I enjoyed. All in all I could see myself visiting again. The weather btw in early October was very good.

Recently got back from a wonderful stay at Happy Days Malia. The whole family running this hotel are beautiful people. Faye, Georgia, parents, bar staff and secrurity guard made me feel so welcome and was always there to offer advice. I don't normally stay anywhere twice but I feel this is a place I will go back to. As a solo traveller I felt safe at all times. The hotel was clean and comfortable 🥰. Definitely recommend staying here. Speak to the family, get to know them and ask questions. They will help you and you will have such a lovely time in Crete. Tips take cash and use bus service 😁. Thank you to all at the hotel will miss you.

We love staying here 😎 The family who run it make you feel so welcome nothing is too much trouble. Everything is so clean the rooms are lovely .There's a pleasant Bar and pool area with sunbeds.Nice food is available. Happy Days is ideally situated to walk to other Bars and restaurants. We would highly recommend it. The owners and staff there really feel like friends. 😎

If you are booking a room, stay close to the pool area . The Wifi is very bad in other areas . The family work very hard and are helpful. Inflation in Crete has become ridiculous . We had some lovely food In the local restaurant near by = fablous food and lovely people . Go out an explore . Get a bus stop 33 to the City and the airport. €4 + each . € 25 in a taxi . The area is expensive in Malia . See where the locals go . Go to Heraklion, much cheeper . Lots of nice day trips provide by Happy days .

I stayed here for a week, I was a bit apprehensive after reading all the views but on arrival I was greeted by Georgia who told me about the area showed me to my room I met her sister both very pleasant and welcoming, when people say they had to buy there own toilet roll I was provided with it without having to ask a very lovely stay and I would return again. Close to all shops, bars and restaurants

The staff were incredibly rude from the moment we arrived. Their behavior was not only unprofessional but also unacceptable. On multiple occasions, we witnessed staff members lounging around and drinking at the hotel bar during the day, rather than attending to guests' needs. The most distressing incident occurred when we paid for a late check-out, expecting to have the room until the agreed-upon time. However, while we were at dinner, the hotel staff decided to remove our belongings from the room. Not only did they evict our items without permission, but they also handled them in a disrespectful manner, kicking our belongings out of the room. The complete disregard for our personal property was shocking and inexcusable. Our belongs have been kicked by the owner and almost thrown in the pool. On top of this, when we went to collect our deposit we were owed €120, however we were only given €25 back. Completely disgusting
