Bella Vita Style Rooms & Apartments ★★★

Calypso Hotel ★★

"The perfect place to relax and spend a quality time. Very close to supermarket, restaurants and beaches. The staff is amazing and very welcoming."

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."

Idi Hotel ★★

"I visited the hotel Idi in the early 1990s and had a very relaxing stay. The experience was so good and I had so many delightful memories that I decided to return. Of course there have been many changes and upgrades in the intervening years; new buildings housing more rooms, smarter and bigger dining areas - but what has not changed is the sense of tranquility and the high level of personalised customer service. The owners and their team work extremely hard providing excellent services but they do it happily and with enthusiasm. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at the hotel Idi for a refreshing break in a beautiful, secluded location that is also a hub for easy access to the rest of the island of Crete."

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments ★★★

"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!"

Fragiskos Hotel ★★★

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!"
