    Nice place outside the village trouble, but in walking distance. ~5-10min to the village center / beach. Flexible check in! Very good communication. Small balcony with a table and two chairs to sit outside. Fridge and some dishes, but nothing to make your own breakfast/ meal. Room / bathroom were clean. Parking opportunities directly next to the house. Good place for 1-2 nights.

    The hotel is the biggest from the village and is maintained pretty well. Most of the tourists are from Germany. This is a good thing as they could have a constant flow of customers and they have secured an outcome and a dangerous thing as they don't have to fight to provide an excellent service, especially the breakfast as they already know the customer profile and they have the recipe to please them in full. The guy from the reception already offered me a free upgrade for the room so I might be subjective in a way.

    Great hosts, delicious breakfast, plenty of parking spaces and good for money rooms (clean and with decent beds). Nothing to complain about. Don't be fooled by the fact that the hotel appears outside of the main village - it's just a very short walk to the centre of Matala.

    Nikos met us in person which we appreciated, he is friendly and helpful. We liked being slightly away from the village as it was very quiet. It’s a short walk to the centre/beach 10-15 minutes). We enjoyed having a little terrace and appreciated having a fridge (note that there is no possibility to cook as there is no hob/kitchen sink). The free parking on the premises Clean apartment Good value for money
