    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.

    Best stay in Crete so far. Just amazing. Wonderful host.Great beds, showers and room cleanliness. Plan to stay here for a long stay soon. 5 minute walk to main beach and 20 minute walk to Red Beach over a small mountain. 150 feet to Hippie Village. A top 5 all time area (Matala) and I’ve been to 35 countries. Love the quaint small city. Superb beaches. Tons of restaurants on the water and along the town. No breakfast but 2 small restaurants 2 minutes away.

    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.

    Many selections at Breakfast. Everything served Hot and fresh . Excellent coffee/cappuccino. Great location. Short walk to shopping/restaurants/beach. Room had excellent wardrobe space to unpack for a 2 weekl stay. Balcony is an added bonus to sit and enjoy daily. Big shout out to the Breakfast staff and daily housekeeping. They made our stay pleasant!

    We liked the location, because it was a bit out of ‘touristic’ center of Matala, but not far away - like 10 minutes easy walk to main beach. House and garden are full with the most beautiful plants and trees, and the host, Maria was very helpful and kind. If we were coming to Crete and Matala again, this will be our choice again definitely 😀

    The apartment was beautiful, practically new and very clean. It had everything we needed for our three day stay, including a comfortable double bed, a fully equipped kitchen and big screen tv. It's located a few hundred meters from the beach and the centre of Matala. The owners were very helpful and polite. We will definitely visit again!

    It is a family run hotel, a 20-minute walk from Matala beach. The accommodation had 2 rooms. cramped with beds and other furniture. It had a slight 1980's feel to it. There is a pool as well as an adjacent breakfast/dinner covered space.

    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.

    Fantastic location: 30m from the center but in a street without foot traffic. Red Sand Beach 10mns away by foot and Matala beach 5mns away by foot. Super clean. Fun layout with the bathroom in the cave. View on the beach and sea.
