The family who runs the place is the sweetest family I’ve ever encountered! The place is nice and clean and quiet. Very nice to have parking right there and it’s a quick walk to the beach. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wrong room, incredibly kind staff

The staff were very kind, friendly, and welcoming. The location is perfect, right in the center of Matala, which makes everything easily accessible.

Lovely family run place, very friendly and helpful, and nice dogs! On the road behind the main town so quiet, but was also end of season so may have been even quieter as a result. We only stayed one night, using it as a place to stop over before driving back to airport the next morning. Beach was lovely (again quiet because end of season).

Very comfortable and friendly place to stay

The hosts were fabulously welcoming and friendly and gave us really god information about a nearby beach that is so much nicer than Matala itself. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept amazingly well as it was very peaceful (beginning of November). Thank you to our hosts for being so warm and welcoming and caring about our stay.

Decent accommodation in Matala

The room was clean but very small, bathroom was nice, very friendly host family lives downstairs (the house is under permanent control same as the guests), parking nearby - but you need always ask the host for the key when you leave or arrive.

Amazing Matala which was quiet in the evening once the day trippers had left with good choice of tavernas and restaurant

Excellent hosts with a spotlessly clean room. Excellent shower with plenty of hot water. Quiet location but close to the beach and tavernas

Best guest house with a lovely Greek family

A gorgeous guest house run by a lovely Greek family with all generations present. We felt very looked after by Doria and her family - they really were such friendly people…thank you for the cake and coffee. Room had everything we needed and lovely balcony facing the cliffs.
