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.
Matala is a small town, and the hotel is a little outside, maybe 5 minutes walking from the Beach/town. The Breakfast was ok, i visited 3 other Hotels and this seems a standard Breakfast in the Island. The hotel has a pool what makes it perfect for after or before the beach. The room was big enough and we had a "big" terrase, where we could even hang our wet clothes.
Good budget option, 10 min walk to the beach and restaurants. All clean and quiet surrounding. Ok bathroom. Very good, strong wifi. Pictures give a bit more modern look than reality but stlli all is nice and good. Very big terrace. Flexible check-in. Parking by the house. Some tableware and kettle to prepare small breakfast.
Small family hotel with clean rooms and a nice swimming pool. The beating heart, however, is the cosy bar where the owner makes every body feel welcome, connect and taste his excellent home made limoncello like raki. There is free parking and the beach, the bars and restaurants are at 10 min walking distance.
The hostel was great, quite big with a lot of young people around. Staff is very friendly and always helpful. Can’t even describe the beauty of Matala and the beaches around there. We used Matala Hostel as a base to explore southern Crete and we can’t wait to go back! <333
This place is in the middle of everything, and the most important .. in front of the beach!
The place is clean, modern and beautiful. The sunset view from the balcony is breath taking. You can go down the stairs and be straight at the beach, i love it!
The room and location was great! Walking distance from the beach and village. Matala is small, so everything was close-by. Free parking and large room! Matala in general was a very nice place to stay. It's touristy but it doesn't feel over crowded.
Comfortable ground floor apartment in a quiet area 1.5 km easy walk to beach, restaurants, shops. Property was spacious, well appointed, perfectly maintained, Good kitchen, wifi, and bathroom. Hosts and domestic staff excellent but discrete.
It is a family run hotel, a 20-minute walk from Matala beach. The accommodation had 2 rooms. cramped with beds and other furniture. It had a slight 1980's feel to it. There is a pool as well as an adjacent breakfast/dinner covered space.
Room location was perfect. You basically cannot get closer to the beach. And for the price it’s unbeatable. The room is relatively close to a bar so you can hear some noise/music at night but it’s not overwhelming.
Very nice , clean apartment, just a few hundred meters away from the beach. Far enought to be nice and quiet , close enough to go by feet.
Recently renovated, Very nice shower and had everything we might need.
The whole Matala beach is amazing, one of the best in Crete. And with the nice accomodation just a few steps from the beach, tavernas, shops makes the it unforgetable holiday. We miss Matala spirit!
Great location: walking distance to beach and centre. Swimming pool is at the hotel across the street. The room is specious enough for 2 people. Very clean. Bed and shower very good!
