The Coral was the best and most atmospheric hotel we stayed in in Greece. It is ideally l;ocated, spotlessly clean, spacious and the owner and staff are very helpful and friendly.
Located 7.5 miles from the ancient city of Phaestos, family-run Dimitris Villa Hotel is on the coast of Messara bay, surrounded by trees, just 8 minutes from Matala beach.

Nice hotel, large family room that had plenty of room for our family of 4. Nice pool and good breakfast included. Lots of parking. Not far from Matala Beach, about 15 minutes to walk down. Staff were very pleasant.
Hotel Sofia is in a quiet area of Matala, yet close to the center and its shops, bars and restaurants. It is just 164 feet away from the sandy beach and 20 minutes from the famous Red beach.

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.
Amazing welcome by our host which let us feel so much welcome. Perfect facility with all what you need for a holidays, even possibility to make a little laundry of your beach clothes after day on beach. Walking distance to Matala city center and beach. Restaurants and bakery few minutes walk from the Garden rooms. This is one of my favorite places in Crete thank you Vaso !
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
Good budget option, 10 min walk to the beach and restaurants. All clean and quiet surrounding. Ok bathroom. Very good, strong wifi. Pictures give a bit more modern look than reality but stlli all is nice and good. Very big terrace. Flexible check-in. Parking by the house. Some tableware and kettle to prepare small breakfast.
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.
Amazing hotel in Matala! The family who run it are so kind and hospitable. The rooms are extremely clean and the beds are super comfortable. Only a 5 minute walk to the beach and the centre of Matala. Can’t wait to return again :-)
Exceptional place to stay in Matala … super friendly and caretaking host family.
Close to beach and Restaurants but situated in very quiet and peaceful surrounding … we loved the place and enjoyed every minute. Thanks again …
The whole Matala beach is amazing, one of the best in Crete. And with the nice accomodation just a few steps from the beach, tavernas, shops makes the it unforgetable holiday. We miss Matala spirit!
