Great little place! Lovely pool and cute apartments with great TV and shower facilities. Balconies get the evening sun. Plenty of parking which is hard to find in Matala. Superb location. The pool area is lovely and calm, nice little bar and breakfast was great! A very very short walk to the action. Matala is a very small place. Superb price and very lovely staff!

    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 loved this hotel during our stay in Crete ! Matala and its surroundings remains one of our best memories. The hotel is calm and restful. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Large homemade breakfast. Super nice swimming pool to relax at the end of the day. Minutes from the center of Matala but far enough away to escape the noise and crowds. We had a vehicle but the town center and the beach are within easy walking distance.

    Spacious room, pool with shower, 500 meters to the famous hippie beach (pebble beach, difficult without shoes), caves available to explore from 10 am. Room was ready 2 hours before scheduled check-in, on the plus side late check-out, parking, ATM in front of the hotel. We recommend beachside restaurants and self-service for buying raki.

    Matala was our second destination on Crete after Heraklion. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The place is touristy but not overcrowded in May. The most beautiful is the 'Red Beach' which, however, had to be reached on foot what is not easy but manageable.
