Simple, safe, affordable and great location. I also found it charming. If you aren’t looking for a Ritz experience, just a nice place to stay in Matala, then I say go for it. We were pleasantly surprised and will stay here again.

Stayed at hotel in April, during shoulder season. Wonderfully quiet, tucked back off Main Street, but walking distance to Matala Beach. Older, small hotel, with all rooms having a door and window facing the outside, which we appreciated, for sunlight and fresh air. Though simple and dated, the room was comfortable and clean. Still early and chilly for swimming in the pool and the ocean, but we knew that would be the case. Nice Greek breakfast buffet served by staff. Try the mountain tea. Staff were wonderfully friendly and professional, making our stay enjoyable. We recommend short visits to the archaeological sites of Phaestos Palace and Gortyna European Law Code (and Temples of Egyptian and Apollo) in the earlymornings, then spending the afternoons at the beach.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This is a small (believed to be 16 roomed), presumed to be family-run, hotel, set back from the road into Matala and 3-4 minutes walk from the town's main facilities and beach. Due to its location it is very quiet and peaceful, with views of the rugged mountains around. Plenty of car parking space - no charge. The rooms are fairly basic but more than adequate, with plenty of storage space - wardrobe, drawers - a TV (limited channels on offer but how much time are you going to spend watching TV?), a decent sized fridge and a wall safe. Take your own travel kettle if you like hot drinks in your room as one is not provided. We didn't have need to use the air conditioning so unable to comment on its efficiency. Other reviews have criticised the bathroom area and shower. Whilst basic, they were perfectly adequate for our 5 nights stay at the end of October / beginning of November. Sunny days certainly generated hot water although by the morning the temperature of the remaining water had dropped to lukewarm - so perhaps better to shower in the evening than the morning. Breakfast was available beside the outdoor swimming pool, with a good and plentiful selection of items, e.g. yogurt, melon, hard-boiled eggs, fresh bread, jams, meat, cheese, cake, besides fruit juice and tea and coffee. The staff were very friendly and helpful and always seemed willing to help. We are very happy to recommend this hotel and would certainly use it again if we were returning to the area in the future.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Property was quiet, which was great, however... No warm water until the sun kicked in, which wasn't horrendous. The beds were without exaggeration one of the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept in, woke up and kept having back pain. Room size was small but hey who cares, it was just a hotel to sleep in. We left our room in the morning and came to find out room clean BUT with our things rearranged, which wasn't the best feeling in the world. After making sure that everything that we bright with us was there, we look at the bright side that we now have clean everything... But still no warm water at the end of the day. On top of that, the shower head wouldn't stay up so i had to help myself with the shower head in order to rinse off... Great surprise after paying about $250 a night here... So, to summarize, i feel that this property needs to rethink its prices given its conditions. Definitely would NOT recommend this property unless you're absolutely desperate... Which we were at the time of booking this hotel.

Turned away
When we arrived we were politely informed that the hotel was full and we would be staying in another hotel. The second hotel turned out to be a busy place on the main street of Matala and not the quiet retreat we were expecting. We were furious that our booking was not respected.

Breakfast was basic but good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were cleaned daily and any mess we left was neatly folded away. The pool was a little cold but we were there at the end of the season. Overall I would reccomend this hotel . All the basics were right

Small family run hotel on the out skirts of Matala
Stayed in July for a family wedding. Owner very friendly and helpful. The rooms were small and basic but spotless and cleaned every day. Fridge ,safe and air-con all standard. Worth paying extra for a family room for more space inside and out side. Pool area lovely with drinks and snacks served all day. Excellent continental breakfast served with everything from eggs to cake and as much as you want. Situated a 5 minute stroll into Matala which had a great beach and excellent shops,bars and restaurants.

Perfect place for the festival.
Great place to stay for the Matala festival. Right at the heart of Matala and a nice place to relax, have a drink and swim without the hustle and bustle of the beach front at a busy time of the year. Enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

Don't come here for a good time.
Hotel was decent, and close to the beach. The ac didn't work so I was eaten alive by mosquitos due to having to leave the windows open. The younger lady in the hotel staff was rude and constantly hounding us all weekend over ridiculous issues. I felt like I had my mother griping at me all weekend. If you're 60+ this place might be alright for you, but if not stay at hotel matala across the street. They'll appreciate your business and show you to a good time

Excellent value and location
Anywhere within a short walk of beautiful Matala beach is good. This was superb value, in a quiet location off the main drag with plenty of parking. Room was quiet, clean. Could have had a better mattress, but on the whole a great place to stay. The staff are friendly and even though breakfast is pretty basic, everything else is very good.

Good location but average facilities
The hotel is only a 10-minute walk from Matala (beware - the walkway is quite dark) and it is probably the best feature to mention. The staff are friendly enough, breakfast is same every morning and the hot water is a bit of a hit and miss.

place is simple, but very clean and well maintained, some problems with hot water in the morning, in the evening is fine, for those who offer it with diNner count your money, dinner is full for your stomic thats for sure, nothing fancy, but is rally good to feel full. you'll get nothing simillaar for the same price in town. In general is a nice place, regular 2.5 star for the comfort, real 4 star for total.

Nice place to stay
Matala Dimitis Villa The location is great only 10 minutes from town. The hotel with the pool is a very nice place to stay. After my arrival I was asked to stay in a room that was not requested by me, but they corrected this after two days. The only minus of my experience is that sometimes there was no hot water and that they should upgrade their WIFI service, often I had my connection cancelled do to a bad reception. Overall the people are very nice and helpful. When you are there you should ask Elena about her experience during the hippies reunion in 2011. For sure she can tell you some interesting stories. This is a good place to stay and I can recommend it. CL
