    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.

    Hotel Matala was exactly what we expected it to be.... wonderful. Small hotel in the beach zone, which was one street from the beach and the village centre, so quiet at night away from the bustle. Room was exceptionally clean, lovely shower and comfortable beds. There's no pool here which does not matter at all as the beach is 2 minutes away. Free parking just up the road was great - there's very little parking in the beach zone. Lovely owner who was super helpful. Astounding value for the price Highly recommend

    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 only spend 2 nights at Coral. But it was great! The Manager of the Hotel, Eleni, is very sweet and so Friendly, she is just lovely! The Breakfast ist perfekt, they offer a lot of different things, so there is everything for everyones taste! Its just a small walk to the beach and the center of Matala. The Rooms are simple but good and very clean and the beds are very good. We will definitely come back next year and we can really recommend the Coral Hotel.

    We stayed here for one night during our Crete trip and it was a wonderful experience. The host welcomed us very warm and explained everything to us. The apartment is located directly at the beach and in walking distance to some very nice restaurants. Nevertheless it is absolutely quiet at night to sleep. The view from the balcony is amazing! Parking is nearby at the main parking lot of Matala - which is just 2 walking minutes from the apartment.

    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.

    I really loved this hostel. It has a good wibe to it, location is perfect not to far from the beach and cafes/restaurants in Matala. Very friendly volunteers. Big and well equipped kitchen, nice and social common areas with a bar. Big bonus with the pool outside. I had a wonderful time, and ended up extending my stay every morning for a week.

    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 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!!!

    Very tidy, nice and well equipped apartment in the middle of Matala and just a few steps from the beach. The roof garden is awesome with great view over the bay and to the famous caves. We always sat there for breakfast. The owner was very kind and always helpful and supportive!

    I booked this hotel because was very close to the caves of Matala. I loved the view of the mountain from my window and definitely recommend this hotel as it looks the best at walking distance from the beach and the caves. Lovely breakfast, clean rooms and helpful staff.

    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.
