We received a warm welcome from the hosts, they helped us with information and recommendations. Located perfectly, the place offers some peace, but just around the corner you will find city center and the beach. Matala is such a nice city, we were sorry we could stay only one night.

It was nice that it had wifi, free parking (is like 2 minutes walk), the common kitchen and washing-machine were useful and the hostess was verry reasonable. It has a close super-market and tavernas that are close to walk by. And of course the good AC.

    Matala is one of those places you didn't know you needed to visit until you go.. and then never want to leave. A long, sandy beach, with beautiful clear water, Matala is big enough to have a wide selection of places to eat & shop and yet not be too big. And in Scala & George's Yard it has two very, VERY good restaurants.

    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).

    Very affordable and clean hotel. The place looks nice. Contrary to some other places in Crete, there is actually a free parking lot right by the hotel! The rooms are simple but effective and cosy. The staff was very polite and helpful. The lady who prepares the breakfast is so nice. The pool is a nice plus; the water and the sides are kept quite clean.

    Great location next street to the very center of Matala, room was cool without having to use the air-condition. The beaches are close and Hotel Sofia has umbrellas for the the guests, so you don't have to pay for one at the beach every day. Γιώργος is an excellent host, we had a great Raki!
