The staff is really friendly and helpful, the garden with the pool and the bar at the entrance are very nice. Breakfast has a lot of choices and the location is 5 mins walking from the beach but far from the noisy town centre. The room is fine (special mention to the bathroom). Highly recommended!!!

Matala is a magical village on the southern coast of Crete, known for its golden beach, clear turquoise waters, and the mysterious caves carved into the cliffside. The atmosphere in the village is relaxed and artistic, with colorful murals, live music, and a genuine sense of peace. The beach is perfect for swimming and sunbathing, and just a short hike away is the stunning Red Beach, ideal for those looking for a more secluded spot. The town itself is small but full of charm, with cozy tavernas and friendly locals. We stayed at a quiet, clean hotel that felt like a peaceful retreat after days in the sun. We originally booked just a couple of nights, but Matala was so amazing that we extended our stay. Waking up each morning to the sound of the sea and enjoying a coffee with a view of the cliffs made it hard to leave. Matala is more than a destination—it’s a feeling, one that stays with you long after you’ve gone.

Matala is a colorful, beautiful, and lively little town with a great atmosphere. It is perfect for beach days and a good starting point for day trips to nearby museums and archaeological sites. There is a huge selection of good restaurants. It is a good idea to arrive by car if you want to go on lots of trips and be independent. However, there are also bus connections, e.g. to Heraklion.

Matala is something different and when you there you just fell in love. Of course if you are looking for the crystal clear water, Matala is not the one, even though the surronding landscape is something beautiful. Nights in Matala can't be boring. There is always something to do and have fun. It is defenitley worth a visit.

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.

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.

We just loved this apartment, everything was provided , even a tooth brush in case you forgot yours ! It was comfortable in every way. Lia and her mother are gorgeous generous women. They have made the apartment so beautifully and to sit on the balcony and watch the waves and the sunset was so divine. Sadly the wind was so strong while we were there and made beach life not so appealing but to have this apartment made our time in Matala very special .

Nice quiet villa 2 minutes away from the Matala beach and from the center. Clean, cozy, very friendly personal, cleaning every day. Fridge with a freezer, as well as teapot. I liked it here, there is no noise from the bars, nice terrase outside, and a small balcony in your room, with a table and two chairs. Thank you Natasa for your hospitality ❤️, I hope to come again here 🫠

Only a short stay in Matala, but when I come back to Crete, this is the place I will book. Lovely hosts, rooms clean and welcoming, excellent value for monies, friendly atmosphere. Private parking a definite bonus. And, Matala, itself, is a bohemian dream.
