Hotel Neos Matala
7.8 (26 reviews)

Hotel Neos Matala ★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"A very fond memory. We've been there twice in a row and it's always great. The owners (Cornelia and Michael) are extremely nice, as well as the related guests, all one big family. If you are looking for the luxury of a 5-star hotel, look elsewhere. The priority here is the atmosphere, maximum cleanliness, the effort to fulfill every wish of the guest. A few minutes' walk to the center or the beach. We teach everyone. Marian and Viera, Slovakia"

Calypso Hotel
8.0 (13 reviews)

Calypso Hotel ★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"I think it's the worst hotel I've been in... The food, let's not talk about it, it's totally indecent (the lunch is nothing continental, low standard. The evening meal, 1 normal dish and 1 vegetarian dish. As starters, salad, tomatoes, onions, olives, ... dessert, 1 fruit...) And what's more, it's not even good, the leftovers reused as much as possible, boiled eggs that have been hard for several days... At least we discovered some great little restaurants in town! The wifi does not work in the rooms even though it says "Wifi in the rooms"! When we complain about it, they say it works on the terrace, which is not true, we have the signal but impossible to connect. And when by some miracle it connects, nothing happens! It seems that it's because of the mountains, that it's like that everywhere in Greece, I have to deal with it... while the wifi works very well in the restaurant and everywhere else in Matala in the restaurants! At the Calypso hotel, we even receive wifi from surrounding hotels, but unfortunately no password :( TV. We're not here for that but still, at the limit, I would prefer that it not There aren't any! 3 channels: 2 German and one French-speaking. All almost as scrambled as Canal + without a decoder. The French-speaking channel remained frozen 4 days a week and what's more, they chose LN24 but the African version! Nothing against it, but this information interests me less... I had asked for a room on the ground floor, we were put on the highest floor... A broken fridge remained at the bottom of the stairs during the entire stay... Icy reception, I was even yelled at because I wasn't parked in the right place. And at the reception, you have to manage: we go up there with our luggage, we are given a sheet with some practical instructions and then it's you manage. And no one to help with the luggage... they are there, sitting, but no one moves... nice The girls who take care of the cleaning and clearing the tables in the restaurant are nice, but we have to clear our table ourselves! Is this a hotel or are we at home? A word of advice, there are other hotels, avoid this one, even if it is not expensive! Written promises but nothing in practice. Positive: the swimming pool but we have the sea very close..."

Matala Dimitris Resort
8.2 (33 reviews)

Matala Dimitris Resort ★★★

📍 XQW4+28, Matala Main Road, Matala

"Set in quiet gardens on the outskirts of Matila, this small complex of apartments is ideal for a peaceful stay. The room is nicely furnished with a model shower room, tv and fridge. There is a small balcony over looking the gardens. There is a really lovely swimming pool for guests use. We were able to park our hire car close to the accommodation and walk into town in about 15 minutes."

Matala Hostel
7.8 (7 reviews)

📍 Epar.Od. Gortinas - Matalon, Matala

Hotel Eva Marina
8.0 (15 reviews)

Hotel Eva Marina ★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"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!"

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments
8.1 (27 reviews)

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments ★★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"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!"

Zafiria
8.4 (46 reviews)

Zafiria ★★

📍 Zafiria, Matala

Fragiskos Hotel
8.8 (40 reviews)

Fragiskos Hotel ★★★

📍 Pitsidia, Matala

"The Frangiskos hotel in Matala, Heraklion is the best or one of the best in the area. It has spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms with an amazingly rich breakfast. Moreover, it is in the best location near the center of Matala and its beautiful beach. And all this at the most reasonable price..."

Elea Terra Hotel
8.1 (31 reviews)

Elea Terra Hotel ★★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"Great location and a lovely view. The cleaning service was absolutely fantastic. The owner and staff very helpful and nice people. A good quality of rooms and food for a reasonable price if you like simple Greek style. We loved it. We will be back for sure. Dagmara"

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 Hostel ★★
"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"

Hotel Eva Marina ★★
"Just steps from the beach and the narrow streets lined with taverns and shops, yet on a quiet, shaded street, this small hotel stands out for its outdoor green space, where you can have breakfast or relax at any time. The owners, a very kind and hospitable couple, pay attention to the little touches that make guests feel welcome: bottles of cold water, carrying your luggage to your room (there's no elevator), a smile. Our room (and probably others as well) was a comfortable size, simple, and pleasant in its colors and furnishings. It lacked a place to put your luggage—perhaps a bench with cushions, but we didn't want to get them dirty. Some of the room's features were perhaps a little dated, but it's not a four-star hotel, and that's acceptable. Air conditioning included in the price, a small refrigerator, kettle, and cups are other thoughtful touches, as is a lovely little balcony with a table, chairs, and lines for hanging out swimsuits and beach towels. The bathroom, recently renovated, had a window... which is very rare. The breakfast buffet is available separately. We had a great time and recommend it to anyone looking for simple, no-frills accommodations."

"The hotel isn't too far from the caves, but there are closer options. There's a HUGE problem with the Wi-Fi, which disconnects very frequently. The food is just okay and quite repetitive. The room is outdated."

Elea Terra Hotel ★★★
"We started on the wrong foot at Elea Terra, when the lady at the reception asked us to pay extra for the air conditioning that was included in our price. Apparently there is a problem with booking .com , where it simply doesn't say anywhere that air contidioning costs extra. But after the problem was solved we had a fantastic time there. The rooms are basic, but big enough and good enough. The pool area is fantastic, with real grass, and very calm. The buffet breakfast was excellent considering the price of the rooms. We stayed at more expensive places with much smaller buffets. And the location was perfect: walking distance to the beach, but distant enough so we didn't have to deal with the crowd and noise that goes with it. I highly recommend Elea Terra! It's great value for money."

Armonia Hotel ★★★
"ATTENTION, SCAM ! Don’t fall for the pictures and reviews as i did. If you‘re looking for a place with furniture of the 1960‘s and atmosphere of a bad horror movie of the 1980‘s, that‘s the place to be! The weird -and sometimes really scary- owner Olympios is ruling his place like a Maharadscha for now 33 years, selects who can stay at his hotel (his words), no internet in the rooms, no TV, the pool is closed before 8am and after 8pm (but is not inviting anyway, directly beside the street, no shade, basic sunbeds without pillows…). But the worst about this place is the lack of atmosphere and renovation. Gives you a permanent feeling of being closed in a place where you do not want to be, horrible. And it was almost empty when we were there which made it even more suspicious…I took some picture where you can see state of the bathrooms, the reception with a switchboard on the right that is so old that it is almost cool (but also a bit scary!)….my 2 teenage boys were so scared and disappointed when arriving at the place (as me) that we immediately looked for another one. We stayed one night instead of the 5 booked and Olympios refused to pay back the difference of the down payment referring to a special law in Greece. THINK 3 TIMES BEFORE YOU BOOK THIS PLACE AND VISIT IT BEFORE IF YOU CAN !"
