Le Palme ★★★
"Absolutely loved this hotel. There was daily room service and they kept the room spotlessly clean . The staff was kind and very friendly, with impeccable service . Will definitely visit again.Highly recommended !"
Dionisos Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel was very good, with modern design and modern facilities, we had two triple standard rooms and all of them were clean, tidy and well furnished on arrival. The shower and tap had good water pressure as well. The pool and outside were of high quality and very enjoyable to use as well, and again the furniture was comfy and clean. We stayed for 1 week at half board and all meals were of high quality and full of flavour, with the dinner time meal rotating menus each day and breakfast being the same staples each day, with a good mix of international and national items. Rooms were cleaned every day to a high standard and towels replaced every other day. Staff were lovely and extremely helpful and friendly, especially Tina who was very helpful with ordering a taxi for us to take us to Knossos palace and telling us how to get back by bus in Herakleion."
Creta Verano Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is a very nice place to stay if you are looking for a quiet place to sleep and relax, nice staff, clean rooms and good food. The staff were very polite and if you are respectful, you will earn respect. The hotel is close to the strip in a quiet area but is quite far from the beach. For its category, it is an excellent hotel."
Maria Rousse ★★★
"The location was perfect and our room had a beautiful view of Malia. The staff were lovely and friendly and made you feel very welcome. The food and drinks were amazing too and great value for money. I would 100% come back and stay here, I have no faults 🥰"
Sarpidon Apartments ★★★
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Place to Stay in Malia! We honestly cannot recommend this place enough — it is truly the best place to stay in Malia! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome and completely at home. Dora and her staff made our holiday even more special with the way she looked after us. Her kindness and hospitality were incredible, and she made us feel like part of the family. We actually ended up staying longer because we simply didn’t want to leave! The hotel has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and you genuinely feel like you’re part of the family rather than just another guest. The whole experience has been amazing, and we cannot wait to come back next year. And the funniest part is… we haven’t even left yet and we’re already missing it! 😂 Thank you so much for making our holiday so special. We will definitely be back! ❤️ Diolch 🏴 Ευχαριστώ 🇬🇷"
Pyrgos Blue ★★★★
"Booked a Suite with seaside view for 5 nights in August, we only stayed for one after discovering the real views include an abandoned building. Warning as you will not see this on any of their websites or google. Rooms from inside were nice but beds were hard and the WIFI was very weak. Such a disappointment. If you wish to stay here, I would suggest to request a room on the opposite side of the abandoned 3 storey eyesore."
Dedalos Hotel ★★★
"My friends and I chose this hotel because it’s right next to the Malia strip, and we were going on a party holiday. We arrived late at night after a long day of travelling, so we were already exhausted. Instead of being welcomed, the security guard immediately had a go at us. From the moment we arrived, he seemed to judge us purely because we were a group of young people, assuming we were there to cause trouble. Before we’d even had a chance to check in properly, he told us that if he caught us in the same room after midnight, he would “throw us out” and we’d “sleep outside.” While we completely understand that hotels have rules and expect guests to follow them, there are far more respectful ways to explain them. He also implied that we would be bringing strangers back to our rooms, which we found quite insulting considering he’d only just met us. He described the hotel as a family hotel, yet we didn’t see any children during our stay, and the majority of guests appeared to be around our age (18–20). He then showed us to our room, where he watched me (an 18-year-old girl) struggle to carry a 20kg suitcase up two flights of stairs. I nearly fell several times, yet instead of offering to help, he repeatedly told me to “hurry up.” His attitude made us feel uncomfortable from the moment we arrived, and we spent the first night feeling anxious that we’d be told off for no reason. The frustrating part is that throughout the rest of our holiday he never had to speak to us again because we were respectful, followed the rules, and caused no issues whatsoever. It felt unfair that he had judged us before giving us a chance. Aside from the security guard, the hotel itself was lovely. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the pool was relaxing, and all of the other staff members we interacted with were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, our first impression was so negative that the security guard really overshadowed what was otherwise an enjoyable stay."
Happy Days ★★★
"Holiday from hell , please read this review if you are staying here just to set the tone we were told ( if you even breath wrong you will get evicted ) Where do I start , first of all we arrived and they charged us 60 euros each , for a tourist tax and air-con and a safe , when we asked for an itemised bill they couldn’t come up with one so we have no idea what we were paying for. The rooms we advertised incorrectly we asked for a room for 3 and we got a double bed and a tiny bed best fit for a toddler, not only this when we arrived there were silverfish in our room and blood stains in my bed. There were no locks on the bathrooms either. Our air-con was completely useless and flooded all our room and got the suitcases soaking, all they did to fix this was put a towel down which did nothing , eventually they got around to fixing it on the 5th day of the holiday after telling us they would sort it straight away. The balcony’s are very small and for a 3 person room you could only fit two people at a push on the balcony Next up on this rant the staff and hospitality of this place is completely shocking no effort to make us welcome, everyone here was rude, except the woman behind the bar who was the only one who genuinely seemed to care . There was a 5 euro limit on the card machine which forced us to buy multiple drinks at once another scam in this hotel. Further a €10 charge was requested for wifi as ‘not everyone uses it anymore’ and that €10 was per device not person.(the wifi did not work) and when asked for a refund for the wifi it was slapped into my hand I felt so offended I offered to give it back and the woman said ‘if you breathe wrong you will be kicked out’ The day before we left we asked for an extended room stay till 5 o’clock on the day we leave they said it would be 40 euros for one room to which we agreed, in the morning they said it would be 45 euros so when we asked why it changed they said we were being rude and said we can’t have an extended check out at all further showing there hospitality skills We were only supplied with one towel each for the entire stay and were only given one toilet roll for each room Now onto the rules , 1 not allowed to be on the balcony past 11 which ruined are nights completely 2 even if you are staying in the same hotel your not allowed in your freinds rooms 3 not allowed to bring your own bottles of water to the pool area which makes you fall into the trap of the 5 euro card reader limit 4 not allowed to bring anyone back to the hotel"
Golden Sun Boutique ★★★
"Hotel is ok with decent sized rooms and beds that are clean ish. However, the staff are extremely rude with no smiles from any of them over my stay here. At one point a member of staff physically kicked one of my friends which should never be done regardless of the situation as they work there and are not some random person. Would not recommend this place to anyone who's looking to have a good time in Malia as the staff just try and stop this with their horrible manners. Definitely would avoid."

Melissa Apartments, Studios & Suites
"First time to Crete and Mellissa apartments was recommended to me. I have a fantastic holiday and mainly down to the family run apartment. Help kind and very embracing the hospitality was 5 Star. The location was perfect. I would highly recommend and definitely return."
Parthenis Beach, Suites by the Sea
"Two nights room rate 500 euros not refunded me"
Stelios Gardens
"We arrived at 23.15hrs and received a warm welcome from Yannis and Nikki the owners. Very family orientated business with Stelios, their son helping out in the bar and restaurant. Nikki should be an interior designer .. the bar, restaurant and surroundings are tastefully decorated with a beach theme. Breakfast was buffet style and there was ample choice. Dined a couple of times too and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend it. 3 minute walk from the beach."
Sentido Kyknos Beach Adults Only
"We booked this hotel for our honey moon and it has ticked every box, staff are amazing from the cleaners to the receptionist. The hotel is absolutely spotless the attention to detail is second to none, the pool is clean and very relaxing, cocktails are amazing especially made by Maria during the day or Carlos at night, breakfast there is a huge selection catering for every fussy eater, my only criticism is the evening selection is more catered for the Germans so we ended up eating out 4 of our 7 night stay unless you wanted salads then your fine. The staff are extremely friendly and really can’t do enough for you. The rooms are clean, bright and well equipped we had a room with a jacuzzi we stayed in room 1212 had a pool and sea view from the balcony but nice and quiet. We looked at one of the rooms with a swim up pool and these were out of this world and definitely what we will book on our return visit. This hotel should be a 5 star, one of the best we’ve ever stayed in and will definitely be returning."
Alexander Beach Hotel & Village Resort
"I had the great fortune to stay here for a week with my friend, who had been here 4 times prior to this . It was so beautifully laid out along the beach it had 3 pools ? Several restaurants, a spa and a gym . We were upgraded to a junior suite with such a beautiful view of the beach . The room was lovely , very spacious and very clean . The staff were all so lovely .And nothing was top much trouble. A special shout out to Socrates the barman in the pool bar , he was hilarious and great fun . The food was amazing in the Asian fusion restaurant and Maria was lovely . She remembered my friend from her previous stays and greeted her warmly. They even had a Cat Cafe where the guests could feed the local cats , which really meant a lot to me as I love cats. Everything was perfect. The only small downside was the channels on the TV..they were all in German The majority of people that stay there are German, they were all very quiet and pleasant, but it would have been nice to have a couple of English channels for when we got back to our room in the evening."
Phāea Cretan Malia, a Member of Design Hotels
"The two-day stay was way too expensive for the hotel, knowing that there are people staying there for half the price—though for a week. However, it is a nice, large hotel where the low-rise design adds value."
High Beach Resort
"Amazing! If you want the best possible experience, I highly recommend taking the beachfront suite. It’s the perfect way to fully enjoy your vacation. The service is amazing, the food is very good, and the cocktails and drinks are excellent. A special thank you to the entire staff — everyone is so polite, friendly, and attentive. They truly take great care of you and make you feel special throughout your stay. A special mention to Didi and Maria, who gave us an amazing massage experience. My wife has never felt so relaxed! We also had the chance to dine at Veranda. Sadly, I forgot the name of our host, but we had such a lovely conversation throughout our dinner, and he took very good care of us. It really made the evening even more special. Absolutely amazing vacation! I have a feeling I’ll be coming back here again. Highly recommended! PS! Swim from the beach to the church on the little island. It’s worth the swim!"
Enorme Ammos Beach
"I had a deep massage and hydration facial with Alexandra who was amazing! I nearly fell asleep it was so great. Highly recommend, they have a great range of services here ☺️"
Golden Bay Apartments-Garden Haven
"One of the best hotel I’ve been"
Neon Hotel
"Perfect location, beach just out the back of the hotel. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Maria and her family were all lovely. Always there to help or share some raki. Will visit again when back in Crete. Thanks very much for a lovely stay and for the olive oil! DJ and Olivia."
Hotel Matheo Villas & Suites
"Very pleasant hotel, friendly staff at your service. Possibility of renting a car for the day to visit the Island, essential because the hotel is quite far from the center and the beach and during high heat it is very complicated to walk under 36 degrees and on the way back it goes up lol. Hotel valid for a vacation to do nothing."
Aeolos Beach Resort
"Overall nice hotel and the beach is very close. There’s things to improve though. It was disappointing to find out that in order to have an air con we had to pay extra €7 per day, also the food was not always fresh, many times it was food from the previous day."
Koni Village Hotel
"Having read some recent reviews, we were dubious about going but thought we've paid so will go and see. The place was clean, rooms were fine and the food was much better than anticipated. There were 2 downsides... There is nowhere to sit inside for drinks and we going the restaurant managed to be rude at the beginning of the week."
Sirens Beach & Village
"Amazing treatment made by strong hands of Eleni"
Philoxenia Hotel & Spa
"Amazing jacuzzi area & sauna. Opportunity to sit in hammocks and enjoy cocktails. Very nice quality and wide range food during breakfast and dinner (perfect for health diet food loving as me) & milkshakes & smoothies . Suggestions: more desserts in evening, all same style clothes hangers in wardrobe, other amenities, more natural smell )) All was perfect! Thanks. Keep going!"
Kastro Beach Apartments
"The hospitality of the owners and staff are what make this a brilliant place to stay. 1min walk to beach. Hotel is at bottom of the strip so 1min walk and your on the stip Breakfast was good you choose what you want each day. Charlie's bar is a really good laugh drinks very reasonable prices. Ate here a few times as well as eating out brilliant food and again great value. Transfer from airport was about 40mins."
