    Maybe a bigger bowl for the washing up.

    Location is great as its really peaceful and yet within easy walking distance of all and any action you want,beaches,bus stops,shops, clubs,bars and restaurants.The pool is immaculate,as are all the facilities within the apartment.I am not a young person but am quite active so this is great.This place is civilised and genteel it is great for families and proper people,it is not recommended for 'rowdies' or anyone with 'attitude' and inconsideration of others.

    There were no sponges or towels for the kitchen. The AC didn’t work, we couldn’t find the remote for it either. The beds were a little hard but not unbearable. Do not disturb signs for the rooms- we had the door locked and the housekeeper came by for room service which was very lovely but we declined, they then continued to try the door, unlocked it anyway whilst my friend was getting changed…..not ideal.

    The location was great, the host was super lovely, the apartment was spacious, it had everything you needed to keep food and cook it. The balcony was nice. The bathroom was very clean and nice

    It would be better to have more plates, but we haven't asked for it, our bad. Cleaning every day might be too often imo. But those are details.

    Personnel is amazing! The place is comfortable, clean, we had amazing time here! I wish to come back to you.

    The pool opens only from 10am-7.30pm. There was no A/c in the bedroom but in the living area only-but we managed to sleep well.

    It was ok, well kept property-spacious grounds and apartment and very clean pool.

    Maybe it was just the room where I stayed but at times the sewage smell from the bathroom was unbearable. In the kitchen there was only one hot plate and very limited kitchen appliances, so cooking for one is doable (if you are creative and easygoing), cooking for two people or a couple wouldn't be possible. No sponge or dishwashing liquid in the kitchen. The Internet was unreliable.

    Simple apartment with everything needed for a short stay. Clean room, beds are fine. Nice area around the pool, very peaceful. Good location - close to supermarkets and restaurants, yet quiet. KTEL stop to go to the airport or Heraklion is a couple of minutes on foot.

    The apartment was very very cold in april. Had to ask for extra blankets. Sitting inside at night was cold. In summer the cold is a plus. Wifi only usable around pool.

    Location is good, close to city center.. Pool area is really nice with sunbeds and grassy area. Room size good.

    Overall this place is a mess.Would not recommend. AC was terrible even if you leave it on all day it will not cool the room. Bed was super uncomfortable - separate mattress and solid pillows. One of the strangest things: You get one roll of toilet paper after finishing it you need to buy more yourself…Even thought pool area is good personal always sits near by the pool and watching you that felt a bit uncomfortable. To Sum up take this apartment if you can handle 30 degrees heat in the room after all day outside laying on the rocky beds and of-course prepare your own toilet paper.

    Good location. Pool area is ok

    We didn't like the way the cleaning lady was cleaning our room, we didn't like that our apartment didn't have any ventilation in the bathroom and the apartment didn't have many things included that other apartments have for the same price.

    We liked the location cause it is located very near the center of Malia. The pool was clean and had a nice depth. It was safe and every night a security guard was guarding the apartments.

    Some information on Booking.com is not correct: * No socket near the bed * The room has aircon, but you have to pay €7 per day * No smoking throughout, not correct. People with asthma be aware that you will inhale smoke from your neighbours Other things: * Dodgy sockets * 1 ring hob (living here for 35 nights and having only one ring to cook from) * Bad internet connection (luckily my employer sent me a router so I could work) * Not a silent place, other guests think they are the only ones there. One week there was a hysterical lady arguing and screaming every day. The nearby hotel has live entertainment most nights of the week, so bring earplugs * Not sound or smell proof because of a shared vent with your neighbour. If they use the bathroom it's like somebody is in your room. And if they use the toilet the fumes enter your bathroom. * Bins being emptied every other day, that means you have to wrap your dirty toilet paper very well because otherwise it's going to stink (not allowed to throw toilet paper in the toilet) * You have to buy your own toilet paper * No stuff to do the dishes with (had to buy it) * No knives to cut your veggies and no potato peeler. Had to buy it too. * Owners hardly speak English so communication was difficult No help when I left. I moved to Greece so I have 3 suitcases, a backpack and a huge box with my computer gear for my work. I was put on the top floor and had to walk down the stairs with all my heavy stuff. The male host stood watching without offering any help. When I was almost done the cleaning lady offered help and she carried my heavy stuff with me. The cleaning lady is the best btw. Works very hard. The host not offering me cost the accommodation a point..

    Most of the staff was friendly and the room was kept clean. I moved to Crete and needed a temporary place to live and work from
