    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.

    Hotel Matala was exactly what we expected it to be.... wonderful. Small hotel in the beach zone, which was one street from the beach and the village centre, so quiet at night away from the bustle. Room was exceptionally clean, lovely shower and comfortable beds. There's no pool here which does not matter at all as the beach is 2 minutes away. Free parking just up the road was great - there's very little parking in the beach zone. Lovely owner who was super helpful. Astounding value for the price Highly recommend

    Absolutely AMAZING apartment in SPECTACULAR MATALA. The place is probably the best short term rental we ever stayed, and we do travel quite a lot. Eva, the host was super accommodating... but the place.... the place is just AWESOME... the pictures do not do justice... you're RIGHT ON THE BEACH in Matala, one of the most enchanting towns in Crete (or is it on earth?).

    A beautiful property very close to the beach. They have put many loving touches into this place and you can feel the difference. The rooms are spacious and clean, very minimalist interior but high quality. Our room had a beautiful patio overlooking the famous Matala caves. The front garden where breakfast is served is a beautiful place to spend the morning.

    The owner and his wife were really welcoming and hospitable 👏 Also we liked the hotel architecture so much, it's pretty unusual. But the king of the whole thing is definitely the view from a room balcony — it was gorgeous, especially on sunset. The Matala Beach is perfect for snorkelling — the underworld is 🤯

    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.

    The location is perfect: just in the center and near by the beach but at the same time in a very quite area. The terrace was very nice and had some shadow, We loved this hotel. Unfortunately we stayed just for one night.

    The breakfast was great and people in the hotel were nice. This place seems little bit far from the sea but it could be advantage, becase it is quiet place and it is just 10 minutes walking to the nearest beach.
