    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).

    Beautiful little hippie Place with lots of Restaurants, Bars and Cafés. The beach in matala, the red beach and the caves of matala are a must see. When you are in matala I would recommend the Restaurants Georges Yard, Plaka and Hakuna matata.

    We stayed here for one night during our Crete trip and it was a wonderful experience. The host welcomed us very warm and explained everything to us. The apartment is located directly at the beach and in walking distance to some very nice restaurants. Nevertheless it is absolutely quiet at night to sleep. The view from the balcony is amazing! Parking is nearby at the main parking lot of Matala - which is just 2 walking minutes from the apartment.

    The hotel has a great location a short walk from the beach and souvenir shopping so you don’t have to try and park along the crowded roadway. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating - my daughter had a sore knee and they lent her an ice pack for the night. Breakfast was simple but plentiful and a great start to the day. The rooms were very clean. We didn’t use the pool but it looked inviting with plenty of lounge area around it.

    We used the term distressingly delightful and amended our trip to include an extra night here within 10 minutes of arriving. The courtyard is like an oasis and wonderful for breakfast in the morning. The staff (a family operation) are very friendly and laid back. The rooms were nice with comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms as well as a kitchenette. Two minutes from the beach and restaurants. Super relaxing environment.

    We adored the fact that we could get up and literally walk to the stunning Matala beach and at the same time enjoy our privacy in the cosy Cactus Room with the cute and aesthetically delightful terrace of our own! We could literally walk to the restaurants and bars within minutes. Most of all we adored the room owner and we are beyond grateful for the hospitality and friendship! Thank you so much for the pleasant stay!

    It is a complex of 4 2-floor appartments with a shared pool. On the upper floor is the bedroom, on the ground floor is a combination of living room and a well equipped kitchen. Everything is clean, the service is excellent. You can hear the traffic from the adjacent road but apart from that it is a very quiet area. Matala center and beach are a 10 minute walk away, a convenient walking distance

    Absolutely AMAZING apartment in SPECTACULAR MATALA. The place is probably the best short term rental we ever stayed, and we do travel quite a lot. Eva, the host was super accommodating... but the place.... the place is just AWESOME... the pictures do not do justice... you're RIGHT ON THE BEACH in Matala, one of the most enchanting towns in Crete (or is it on earth?).

    The small city of Matala and the location of the apartment are lovely. The Matala's beach and the Red Beach are wonderful. The city of Matala is simply magic and the apartment is located in a wonderful position at the top of the hill with a wonderful skyline. You can also find a lot of "taverna" and restaurants for all tastes!

    The property is a family run business, the studio was super clean as they clean your studio every day. The room was very confortable in a nice environment with a small patio to yourself. The apartment is located one block from the Main Street full with restaurants and about two blocks from the beach.

    The hotel is 5 stars in terms of cleanliness and peacefulness! The breakfast is generous and is made home (jams, cakes and honey)! We received a warm welcome. It is located at 1.4km from the beach and the restaurants. It is an easy flat walk. Matala is a great place: absolutely beautiful and chill !

    A dreamy property in a dreamy village! wish we could’ve stayed longer - the place is fantastic, walking distance to Matala beach and the town centre but still secluded enough to make you feel completely relaxed and away from everything.
