Idi Hotel ★★

📍 Zaros, Faistos

"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!"

Matala Hostel ★★

📍 Epar.Od. Gortinas - Matalon, Matala

"I stayed at this hostel for one night during a music festival, and I had a really positive experience. The room was clean, the staff were very polite and helpful, and they even provided me with an extra blanket when I asked. The location is excellent—right next to the bus stop, just a 5–7 minute walk to the beach, and close to the city center. The room had a proper renovation, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and I slept comfortably. Overall, I enjoyed my stay"

"Nothing like the photos on the booking sites. The room was old, dirty, and smelled bad. The staff was unpleasant, especially the owner and the receptionists. A tourist trap! There are other, much better hotels nearby."

Armonia Hotel Hotels in Faistos

Armonia Hotel

"ATTENTION, SCAM ! Don’t fall for the pictures and reviews as i did. If you‘re looking for a place with furniture of the 1960‘s and atmosphere of a bad horror movie of the 1980‘s, that‘s the place to be! The weird -and sometimes really scary- owner Olympios is ruling his place like a Maharadscha for now 33 years, selects who can stay at his hotel (his words), no internet in the rooms, no TV, the pool is closed before 8am and after 8pm (but is not inviting anyway, directly beside the street, no shade, basic sunbeds without pillows…). But the worst about this place is the lack of atmosphere and renovation. Gives you a permanent feeling of being closed in a place where you do not want to be, horrible. And it was almost empty when we were there which made it even more suspicious…I took some picture where you can see state of the bathrooms, the reception with a switchboard on the right that is so old that it is almost cool (but also a bit scary!)….my 2 teenage boys were so scared and disappointed when arriving at the place (as me) that we immediately looked for another one. We stayed one night instead of the 5 booked and Olympios refused to pay back the difference of the down payment referring to a special law in Greece. THINK 3 TIMES BEFORE YOU BOOK THIS PLACE AND VISIT IT BEFORE IF YOU CAN !"

Valley Village Hotels in Faistos

Valley Village

"NOT RECOMMENDED!! We are probably the first with a negative experience. (after reading the reviews above) For us, NEVER again Valley Village. We had to ask for clean towels ourselves for our entire stay. A major downside! Which made the owners find us annoying. This was abundantly clear during their non-verbal communication. When the accommodation is full, we cannot all eat within the 2 hours offered in the evening in bad weather (for dining). The dining area is large and spacious, especially outside. But too small for all guests, when an accommodation keeps expanding without adjusting the dining area accordingly. The rooms are very noisy; you cannot sleep without earplugs. The many cats roaming around take some getting used to, because there really are a lot of them. If you do not like cats, or are afraid of them, then this is definitely not the accommodation to stay at. Because there are +/- 15 cats. (Large and lots of small kittens) There is no evening entertainment; at this accommodation, you have to entertain yourself. There is an elevator, which is handy if you need to take your suitcase to the 1st or 2nd floor to get to your hotel room. ONLY THE ELEVATOR DOESN'T WORK! It is certainly a family hotel. Suitable for the elderly and for families to stay in Valley Village. It is not recommended for couples, young or old, who prefer to be on their own. The swimming pool is not inviting; there is a dirty yellow rim from grime in the larger pool. The pool is not large, rather too small for the accommodation. The breakfast is extensive and well-prepared, as is the dinner. The waitress Christina deserves a feather, a star; a big compliment for her cheerfulness and service to and for the guests at the accommodation during dinner. Unfortunately, there are more downsides than upsides. Once again, never again Valley Village for us; we find it old junk, not a pleasant stay. We will definitely go to Matala again, but never, really never again to Valley Village! Not recommended! The rooms are super basic, the price-quality ratio is not right. The cleaning is minimal. Besides the fact that there were no towels upon arrival, there was half a loaf of brown bread in the wardrobe 😳. Which made us wonder if the room had actually been cleaned. Additionally, the building is very noisy. The room above the dining/restaurant area is noisy and you cannot sleep without earplugs. Furthermore, the refrigerator makes a lot of noise as well. All in all, the rooms don't deserve any awards for cleanliness. The center of Matala is amazing; there is live music somewhere every evening. Great. 👍🏼 Safety at Valley Village is fine, except that the hotel rooms are vulnerable to break-ins, both at the door of the hotel room and in the balcony room. Matala itself left a positive impression; no police, no crime, relaxed environment, especially in the center of Matala, or rather on the square from Matala, it is very safe. From Valley Vil"

Idi Hotel ★★
"Great accomodation, modern rooms, great location close to Zaros (Votomos) lake. We were surprised how good the value for money is. The rooms are spacious with a great shower. The pool and the garden are phenomanal with beautiful mountain views and trees to offer shade. Also the restaurant is great, we ate here several times during our 3 night stay for lunch and diner. If you are into hiking it is along the road to a start point for several hikes. We used komoot for navigation but there are signs also. Would recommend for sure!"

Calypso Hotel ★★
"We stayed at this property in Matala from 2 to 10 September, in room 19 (2 adults and 1 child). The hotel is very simple, in an excellent position to go to both the beach and the centre of Matala, and there is a very pleasant swimming pool. Our room was spacious and nice with a basic and repetitive breakfast. We had an unpleasant experience, as we had deposited our documents and cash in the safety deposit box (lockable), from which unfortunately €600 was stolen, €350 from my wallet and €250 from my husband's. We have been going on holiday to Crete in this area for years, for the first time in this hotel that we did not know, but nothing like this had ever happened to us. We returned very disappointed and bitter, €600 is not a trifle...."

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments ★★★
"Hotel annexes: across the street. The room was dreadful: stuck in the 70s (see photos). Breakfast was adequate. The pool was green and murky for two days: no apology, no information, and swimming was still allowed. Unacceptable."

Elea Terra Hotel ★★★
"This is our third visit to Elea Terra Hotel in Matala. As always we received a warm welcome from Maria and her staff. The hotel is small, within pretty gardens. It has a peaceful laid back atmosphere. The pool area is never crowded or too busy. Again the atmosphere is low key with pleasant music playing, you can get a variety of drinks and snacks. The whole hotel and garden area is extremely clean and tidy. Don't come to this hotel expecting entertainment, evening band playing or loud music, you can experience this in Matala centre which caters for everyone but maintaining its alternative hippie theme. Maria and her staff focus on their guests having a peaceful, enjoyable, chilled out type of holiday and this hotel certainly delivers. To the reviewer who states there was no information about car hire. If you actually ventured outside the hotel there is a car hire place directly next to the hotel main entrance. There is a further car hire company 5 mins down the road towards the town Nick Holiday rentals which we use. As for excursions, there's a full colour folder next to reception full of excursions information so again to the negative reviewer ....do a bit of research it helps. The hotel is NOT basic as the negative reviewer stated it goes above and beyond its star rating. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a laid back, chilled holiday, in a lovely location and in a lovely hote. Our thanks to the owner the wonderful Maria and her staff for everything at this little gem of a hotel"

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!"

Galaxias Studios ★★★
"The property was lovely; our room had A/C and a mini-fridge with a freezer, and the balcony had a drying rack with clothespins. The bathroom had a shower, toilet, sink, and hairdryer, too! Haroula is the best: friendly, always happy, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. She's our new good friend, and so are the people in all the stores, bars, and restaurants. We will be staying with her again. Kalamaki is heaven on earth! It was the BEST vacation we've ever had; it was beautiful, charming, and fun. I highly, highly recommend Galaxias Studios and give it a 5-star rating! ***** !"
