We loved everything about this little gem. It’s tucked away but at the same time in the middle of the town. The beds were extremely comfortable, the terrace gorgeous, the kitchen perfect, there’s nothing more I can really say. Just perfect.
Our hosts were also extremely friendly and couldn’t do more for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay & we can’t wait to come back and see you again!

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.
Lovely bungalow room in a great location. The breakfast was a good addition and staff very welcoming. Matala was a short walk or drive and is the perfect mix of beach, history and relaxed night life. Loved the sunsets, restaurants and evening shopping in the lovely bazaar.
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
The location is 2 min away from Matala beach, with lots of restaurants, shops and supermarkets near.
The 2 bedroom apartament is small but ok for a family with 2 kids. Very nice the big terrace where we spent a lot of time.
