    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).

    Best stay in Crete so far. Just amazing. Wonderful host.Great beds, showers and room cleanliness. Plan to stay here for a long stay soon. 5 minute walk to main beach and 20 minute walk to Red Beach over a small mountain. 150 feet to Hippie Village. A top 5 all time area (Matala) and I’ve been to 35 countries. Love the quaint small city. Superb beaches. Tons of restaurants on the water and along the town. No breakfast but 2 small restaurants 2 minutes away.

    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 small city of Matala and the location of the apartment are lovely. The Matala's beach and the Red Beach are wonderful. The city of Matala is simply magic and the apartment is located in a wonderful position at the top of the hill with a wonderful skyline. You can also find a lot of "taverna" and restaurants for all tastes!
