    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.

    Wonderful rooms and terrace area, simple and comfortable. The owner is very kind and helpful, giving me a welcome coffee and even fixing me up when I injured myself! The rooms can be cleaned daily. I had everything i needed and was very happy here- ended up extending for a few days! The location is quiet and good (especially if you've rented a car, it's a 1 minute drive to town... although in high season i imagine once you've found a parking spot, you won't be much closer than the hotel!) There was a kitchen available onsite.

    The location of the hotel could not be better. A 2 min walk to the beach, a 2 min walk into gorgeous Matala village. Red Beach is close but quite a difficult hike up and back. We stayed in El Greco apartment which was a perfect size for our family of 4. The bedrooms are spacious with their own bathrooms. Breakfast was fabulous and the staff were incredibly kind

    Xenia’s Dias is in an excellent location for walking everywhere in Matala, and an added bonus is the free parking on sight. The bed was very comfortable, our room was quiet, everything was spotless, and the staff was very helpful. The free breakfast at a nearby cafe was delicious and came with a great view of the beach.

    We were upgraded so room was very good with nice views of the hills. Easy walk into town and Matala beach. Breakfast was good and buffet dinner was reasonable. Enjoyed our day at Red Beach worth the walk. Also remains at Festos, Gortyn and the new museum there.
