Idi Hotel ★★

"A Truly Wonderful Stay at Idi Hotel! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at Idi Hotel was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of our time in Crete. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness, and the friendly atmosphere made us feel completely at home. The hotel is set in a beautiful, peaceful location surrounded by nature and the stunning mountains of Zaros. The gardens are wonderfully maintained, the pool is perfect for relaxing, and the whole property has a calm, authentic Cretan charm. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully presented. Every detail contributed to a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The food was also excellent, with delicious local flavours and wonderful quality. What truly makes Idi Hotel special, however, is the hospitality. The owners and staff are incredibly welcoming, helpful, and attentive. Their kindness and genuine care made our experience unforgettable. Idi Hotel is much more than a place to stay—it is a peaceful oasis where you can experience the beauty of Crete and the warmth of true Cretan hospitality. We would return without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zaros. Thank you to everyone at Idi Hotel for making our stay so memorable. We hope to see you again soon!"

Calypso Hotel ★★

"Hotel i personel jest bardzo zadowalający. Opiera się na prawdziwym duchu Matala Village. Staff był przyjazny i pomocny. Śniadanie i kolacja były również w porządku."

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."

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments ★★★

"I swore I'd never go back to that hotel. I tried again three years later, and the verdict is still the same: the hotel is still just as bad and doesn't deserve its three stars. The staff's welcome needs improvement. Never a smile, no hello, no goodbye, starting with the owner and his two sons, I presume. And what about the cleaning lady?! The breakfast room is fairly modern, but it's a real cacophony; you can't hear yourself think. The breakfast is of mediocre quality. Let's start with the artificial orange juice, which is undrinkable. The pastries are all mass-produced and of poor quality. The fromage blanc, which is supposed to be a local specialty, is of very poor quality. One morning, the grapes on the buffet were rotten. The room: the only positive point is that the bathrooms have been modernized and renovated. The bedding is atrocious! It's like a bowl, and you can feel the springs. The state of the walls is a disaster, with stains, cracks, and paint splatters everywhere. The toilet seat was broken, the fridge leaked and was incredibly noisy, the furniture was outdated and dated from the 70s, and the patio door was in a pitiful state. There's no air conditioning in the common areas; the worst is in the hallways leading to the rooms. The small table with the plastic flowers in front of the elevators should be replaced. Attached are photos to support my claims. Conclusion: Avoid this hotel at all costs!!!"

Nana Apartments ★★★

Elea Terra Hotel ★★★

"We started on the wrong foot at Elea Terra, when the lady at the reception asked us to pay extra for the air conditioning that was included in our price. Apparently there is a problem with booking .com , where it simply doesn't say anywhere that air contidioning costs extra. But after the problem was solved we had a fantastic time there. The rooms are basic, but big enough and good enough. The pool area is fantastic, with real grass, and very calm. The buffet breakfast was excellent considering the price of the rooms. We stayed at more expensive places with much smaller buffets. And the location was perfect: walking distance to the beach, but distant enough so we didn't have to deal with the crowd and noise that goes with it. I highly recommend Elea Terra! It's great value for money."

Hotel Eva Marina ★★

"The 2* hotel is a few minutes from the beach and is perfect! I was there for 10 days at the end of May until 8th of June. My room was spotless, was cleaned every day by a very friendly young man and I got new sheets and towels every second day! The owners are so friendly and made me feel very welcome, their breakfast buffet and coffee was great. There were also some really tasty Greek delicacies in pastry and some Crêpes in Nutella! 😋 All in all I had a great stay and can highly recommend the Eva Marina!"
