Clean, comfortable and convenient rooms, and perfect location if you're planning on exploring Matala. I would highly recommend this place for anyone that visits there. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast spread was also very nice with a lot of options.

It exceeded our expectations . The room was beautiful and the view amazing. The welcome on arrival by the host, the friendliness of the service and especially the delicious breakfast in the courtyard under the trees completed the perfect picture. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly return one day.

    Matala is one of those places you didn't know you needed to...

    Matala is one of those places you didn't know you needed to visit until you go.. and then never want to leave. A long, sandy beach, with beautiful clear water, Matala is big enough to have a wide selection of places to eat & shop and yet not be too big. And in Scala & George's Yard it has two very, VERY good restaurants.

    Such a beautiful little seaside village that comes to life at night. Could have stayed longer and enjoyed the views, vibes and people. Also we found the pricing cheaper for food and drinks. I must stop

    The room was clean and relatively new looking.

    The room was clean and relatively new looking. There is no wifi or tv in room. They have wifi at the bar and should be able to get it to rooms with routers but have not bothered. The bed was a disaster, it was hardest bed I have ever tried to sleep on. My wife and I both hardly slept and had sore back in the morning. We have been travelling for over 5 weeks had no problem with any other beds.

    There is a great vibe at Matala that differs from the rest of Creta. The hippie feel is true. We caught live music the night we were there and it was the best moment. This along with the red beach - strongly recommend.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot. So a lot of restaurants there, lot of tourist shops with souvenirs and a lot of people. The beach itself is not that big, but it was nice though. I mean it really depends on what you are looking for. I am more fond of less crowded and less touristy places, so perhaps next time I would look for something more matching my preferences. On the other hand there is nothing wrong about Matala at all. All the people there are very friendly. Really it depends on what you prefer...

    Matala is a quiet little town with not a lot of traffic, music or noise. You come here to relax. If you like naturist beaching this place is definitely for you (Red beach and Komos beach). Moreover, Matala can be a good base for visiting the area (you have to rent a car or a bike).

    A spacious room with a comfortable bed. The hotel is a short walk from the amazing Matala beach and caves. It is also minutes from the town, restaurants and the old tree where live music takes place at night. The breakfast was delicious, with a good choice and a nice view over the beach. Staff were friendly. Easy parking.
