We chose the room with the double bed and side view rather than the twin with the front view but the side view was ok, could still see the sea and the mountains. Over all a good budget place to stay while visiting the Gorge.
United KingdomGood value, nice view, clean and a good restaurant
United KingdomGreat location and staff. We stayed here after hiking Samaria. Rooms are modest and simple and typical of small village accommodations. Very clean. The included breakfast in the morning was some of the best I’ve had in Greece! The Gigilos restaurant was across the road and along the ocean - a perfect spot for supper and amazing food! The octopus was fresh caught and amazing value. The staff even gave us a checkout gift of a small jar of local honey! Would stay here again!
CanadaThe location was perfect for my early start on the Samaria Gorge (walking up!), and it is a lovely little place to rest after the walk down. The room is basic but clean with a view of the sea from the balcony.
United KingdomWonderful place! Nice view The night was great i recommend
FranceAll excellent value for money. Their restaurant is great and even better with them giving a 10% off voucher for residents.Home made honey pot on departure a further added bonus! Very friendly.
United KingdomPerfect location , friendly hosts, great taverna with good food and free sunbeds too. And perfect weather .
United KingdomHospitable friendly staff, services above the standard in the hotel and the restaurant Gigilos! Picturesque countryside.
Czech RepublicThe view from the apartments was great, the sea was amazing, the gorge hike is exceptional. our room was nice and cozy, everything was clean. their restaurant was great too, the food is probably the best in the Agia Roumeli. the owners were very friendly, I had a flat tire, and they pointed it out to me by three different people from Gigilos, they offered to inflate it and get me to a nearby place to fix it.
IndiaNot my first vacation in Agia Roumeli, and hopefully not the last one. Room was cleaned every second day, staff attentive and polite. Small gifts at check-in and checked out were very pleasant. All equipment worked, air conditioning, TV, WC and shower. Stunning view from the seaside balcony. The room was quite compact, but being a solo traveler, it was just what I needed.

Gigilos hotel is located in the village of Agia Roumeli of Sfakia, which has been described as a place of ''magnificent natural beauty''. The sea view, the dramatic, peaceful scenery and well-known Cretan hospitality promise you an unforgettable experience in our accommodations.
Orr family opened the Gigilos Hotel in 1992. We have been beekeepers and shepherds for many generations. We enjoy hiking 'our' mountains, fishing and Cretan music.
Agia Roumeli is the small coastal village in southwest Crete that you reach after walking through the Samaria Gorge. The village is not connected to the road network, but you can reach it by ferryboat from Sfakia, Sougia and Paleochora; or, you can walk! Agia Roumeli is a unique place that combines wide, open sea with steep mountains. This allows Agia Roumeli to offer magnificent and totally different sources of activities. Visitors can hike in the surrounding mountains, go snorkeling, fishing or simply relax on the pebble beaches. The most significant sights to enjoy are: the Samaria Gorge, the longest and most beautiful gorge in Europe, the E4 mountain path that extends east and west of Agia Roumeli, the castle of Agia Roumeli, the Byzantine church of Saint Pavlos, the Byzantine church of Panagia, and the peaks and gorges of the White Mountains, including the peak of Gigilos.
