Very helpful host. We felt like at home. Good breakfast. Close to the most beautiful beaches in this part of the island.

We absolutely loved it. Maria was so sweet and very helpful. She gave us the best tips about all the beaches around. Explained everything and was available for all that we needed. The pool was very nice and the location made our long trip to Elafonisi beach a breeze.

Nothing, this property is perfect and is 5/5 stars.

1. Maria is the best hostess and provided excellent advice and guidance on where to go and what to do in Elafonsis. You’ll be in good hands if she’s there. 2. The rooms are super clean and well updated. The shampoo and lotions they provide are excellent. As are the towels and beach towels. The hotel balconies are perfect over looking the sea. 3. The hotel also has a restaurant across the street with amazing food. Trust the waiters and waitress for their recommendation’s. The hotel and the restaurant are the best in all of Crete. FYI: try the warm Greek salad or the green walnut salad at the restaurant! 4. It’s close to the best beaches in the area.

Na

Maria and Nikos and everyone at the hotel were so nice and friendly - they made the trip extra special. The bedroom was nice and comfortable with a lovely view over the sea. The pool was very refreshing after a day in the sun. The restaurant was fab - lovely traditional Greek food washed down with local Lyra beer and wine. Highly recommend a stay!

All was perfect!

Guykeria hotel and its management, in particular Maria was superb! Maria welcomed us with cold drinks at the stunning restaurant that is part of the hotel (huge bonus). The rooms are very comfortable and beautiful with refrigerator and plenty of room to stretch and to organize our things. Great balcony to the superb sunset. Maria the host is a Supper-Women, really!!! she was taking care of every thing for us, and others. we received beach towels and sun umbrella to go to the beach (later we have bought for ourselves 4 of her great beach towels that we are so happy with). The pool on premises is again a great bonus and wonderful to go to before the day begins or after a Long Beach day. my 11 years old daughter enjoyed the pool sooooo much and so do us. This is a perfect place at Elafonessi!, peace and haven. Looking forward to come for another week.

If I really have to find something, I would say that the pillows were too high and firm for my taste, but that's just a minor detail in an otherwise fantastic place.

The restaurant has a beautiful view of the sea, the dishes are excellent, and the staff is extremely friendly, making you feel right at home. When we arrived at the hotel, we met Maria, who showed us around the hotel, offered us a cappuccino and orange juice, and explained all the secrets of the beaches near the hotel. In the end, she gave us her phone number to call her, even via WhatsApp, in case of any need. Simply Fantastic!!!

Well run small hotel with incredibly friendly owners and staff. Maria and Nikos were the best managers of any hotel I have been to previously and I have travelled substantially. The restaurant is great, lovely food and again very nice staff. Cleaners were great.

More trees for shade would help with temperature and making it more comfortable outside. The restaurant is a bit expensive and more local options would be nice.

Nice location, very nearby important sites by car. Comfortable rooms. Helpful staff.

Everything was great!

The location and views are fantastic. Close to the best beaches but a bit out of the busy touristic areas. The Swimming pool with same great views. The best is the kind, helpful and super friendly team. Maria and Nikos make you feel home, plus it is very handy to have accommodation plus the restaurant together. Food excellent. Good relation price-quality. I would recommend 100 %.

The people who run this hotel are lovely. Maria told us the story of how the taverna was built by the grandparents, the hotel by the parents, and now the whole property run by the next generation. Friendly, helpful, and eager to please, everyone here made our first few nights on Crete very enjoyable. An example of the warm and friendly service? My partner had checked out while I packed and just as we were driving out of the parking lot (the hotel building is across the street from the taverna and office), Maria ran across the street to bid me goodbye. The lovely open air restaurant looked out over the water and provided a good breakfast. Our room was bright and efficient and Maria provided towels, an umbrella, and handwritten instructions on a map on how to access the beautiful local beaches. The small balcony had a handy drying rack and a beautiful view of the sea.

Nothing.

Staff were all super nice. Went above and beyond to help you. Give you ideas etc. Very easy to get to the beaches and gave us so ideas for beaches that in our opinion were better than elafonisi. Room was very comfortable with a huge bed, good quiet aircon. Lovely balcony which is in the evening sun. The Glykeria restaurant is very good. Would also highly recommend the restaurant aerino.

Nothing really. Maybe my son missed the tv in the room and a bit limited are the choices for breakfast which is not included, but there is a discount.

An oasis of peace! Great and highly recommended place to stay on the way to Elafonisis and the other beaches in the area.. High quality hotel, staff is amazing and Maria will help in any possible way. Excellent restaurant, amazing scenery, including the view from the room! A dreamy spot.

The only thing that could be improved is the toilet flush in our room, it´s old and not working very well, so that leaves a weird smell in the bathroom.

Staff is amazing and SUPER friendly!! Maria is incredible, so helpful and friendly, she gave us a list of what to visit in the region and was just always there to help. Restaurant is also great, location is perfect and overall we had a wonderful stay!! Would definitely stay there again.

The owners are incredibly welcoming. They make sure you feel taken care of and even helped us with our laundry.

The owners Nicos and Maria were extremely warm and friendly. Lovely taverna which is part of the hotel with some of the best food we had in Crete. The taverna and hotel are family run, rooms are comfortable, pool is great and all the best beaches are close by.

The view from the room was magnificent. Mary was very kind. She gave us directions regarding all the beaches that are in the area. The dinner at their restaurant was also very good.

There was nothing we didn't like, we were only there for one evening

Ideal location for us as we were on foot from the main road. Exceptionally friendly welcome

A bit better details for cleanliness in bathroom. Balcony plastic chairs could be polished from UV sun degradation.

Location, very friendly staff, warm welcome, sea view (sunset), taverna, free parking. pool, comfort beds, balcony.

Everything! Location is pretty much as close as you can get to Elafonissi beach (which is a protected natural area). The hotel and Taverna are family-owned which shows everywhere, from the warm, personal greeting you get from Maria , the grand-daughter-in-law, to the home cooked meals in the restaurant. All is beautifully updated, including solar and an EV charging station. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

The property was new construction, well maintained and great location with incredible taverna. Great choice!
