Hotel Neos 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 ★★

"First time in Crete and we had a blast at this hotel :) Pros- 1. Wide selection of delicious Cretan food served at breakfast & dinner buffet 2. Friendly, smiling & accomodating hotel staff 3. Well decorated exterior- especially the garden & pool, really enjoyed taking photos 4. The staff will just let you leave your bags if your transfer is late in the night and you needed to check out already. They even will let you use the pool and the public toilet & shower Cons- 1. No wifi connection in the room 2. No toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste- so remember to bring some with you 3. No coffee & tea- but there’s kettle if you buy your own coffee & tea 4. Ac- broke down during our last night Overall, I can recommend this hotel for people who are flexible to the cons and not get easily disappointed, and must have a positive outlook like us :) I am writing here just for a full & honest review to help others out there who wants to know more 🫶🏻 Hope this review helps! ❤️"

Matala Dimitris Resort ★★★

"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 ★★

"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!"

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments ★★★

"Nothing like the photos on the booking sites. The room was old, dirty, and smelled bad. The staff was unpleasant, especially the owner and the receptionists. A tourist trap! There are other, much better hotels nearby."

Zafiria ★★

Fragiskos Hotel ★★★

"Nice, simple, friendly hotel Ideal location Kindness of staff Good buffet, view of Matala beach 🤩 Decent and clean room Exterior 👍 Swimming pool and Bar with view Car rental nearby to visit the region"

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."
