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.
We truly enjoyed our stay at this place - it was a last minute choice and I'm glad we chose it. The staff is EXCEPTIONAL, the room was immaculate, the pool is great and the vibe is fun and friendly. We had our own room (not a dorm type) with a private bathroom. Our room also had a large balcony and great A/C which we needed. There was always plenty of hot water which I managed to get everywhere (see below). The hotel is located a bit out of the main area which we liked... about a 15 min walk from "downtown" Matala.
We used the term distressingly delightful and amended our trip to include an extra night here within 10 minutes of arriving. The courtyard is like an oasis and wonderful for breakfast in the morning. The staff (a family operation) are very friendly and laid back. The rooms were nice with comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms as well as a kitchenette. Two minutes from the beach and restaurants. Super relaxing environment.
The hotel Is truly five minutes away from the main beach in Matala, the pool Is wonderful and the rooms are super clean and very comfortable. i travelled with my boyfriend but I would definitely recommend this accomodation for a family with Kids too. The hotel is in surrounded by trees and plants and Is a very relaxing Place. The owner Stelios Is super friendly and very funny. We Hope to get back soon.
The location of the hotel could not be better. A 2 min walk to the beach, a 2 min walk into gorgeous Matala village. Red Beach is close but quite a difficult hike up and back.
We stayed in El Greco apartment which was a perfect size for our family of 4. The bedrooms are spacious with their own bathrooms.
Breakfast was fabulous and the staff were incredibly kind
Nice place and very polite employees. We rented a bungalow but do to bad weather flights were canceled and our accommodation was not available. We got to choose between 3 other rooms which was nice. And because of the situation we cannot say bad thing about this. Great breakfast buffet and only short walk to beach and Matala center.
We loved our stay at Dimitris villa hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable. TV, air conditioning, fridge was working good. Pool area was amazing. Beach and city centre is in walking distance. We enjoyed our stay and we recommend the place to everyone.
A dreamy property in a dreamy village! wish we could’ve stayed longer - the place is fantastic, walking distance to Matala beach and the town centre but still secluded enough to make you feel completely relaxed and away from everything.
The location is 2 min away from Matala beach, with lots of restaurants, shops and supermarkets near.
The 2 bedroom apartament is small but ok for a family with 2 kids. Very nice the big terrace where we spent a lot of time.
The location was great, just a short walk from Matala town and the beach. The breakfast was very good!! Lots of choice eggs, yoghurt, fruit, pancakes etc.
Close to Matala centre, Beach and plenty of parking space. Beds comfortable. The pool area was great with plenty of loungers. Staff pleasant and helpful.
