Fantastic!

Absolutely wonderful - all the staff were really friendly and kind, the food was fantastic, everyone spoke v good English. Very clean. Massive meals - under-order! An absolutely beautiful pool and gorgeous views of the mountains, and a private little balcony on our room. Friendly cats visit during dinner (they go away if told). A brilliant experience.
Rebecca, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely alternative to staying in downtown Heraklion, especially if you have kids as Arolithos is a charming, self contained complex and is very safe with a decent pool. Terrific views down to bay and up to fabulous mountains. Nice outdoor restaurant terrace. Delicious wholesome Cretan food menu for both breakfast and dinner. Rooms are charming with balcony terraces and air conditioning. However, the only negative, the beds and mattresses feel like they have been unchanged for thirty years and are especially uncomfortable. Time for the management to reinvest as for me it was the only serious negative criticism.

Le logement ne correspondait pas du tout à ce qui était annoncé lors de la réservation était dans un état de saleté indescriptible

posto magnifico all'esterno, splendida ricostruzione di un villaggio cretese, tranquillo, ottimo ristorante a bordo piscina: atmosfera bellissima. Peccato per la camere che sono piuttosto trasandate, ma per poche notti o di passaggio vale assolutamente la pena
carolina, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The concept is charming and that is what led us here. This is a traditional village with lots of little houses and nooks and crannies and tiny garden spaces, transformed into a complex of rooms. The positive: there is a very nice terrace where one can sit, have breakfast and order a dinner. And the staff are very friendly. The negative: the rooms are uncomfortable and many things are broken. My shower attachment was broken so the head could not be affixed to the wall. The shower is miniscule and the flimsy plastic curtain does not prevent water from flooding out. The mattresses are more like thin mats - my colleague had a backache the next morning. The blanket was thin for the spring temperatures and the spare blanket and quilt in the closet did not appear to be clean. The WIFI only works in selected public areas. The location is remote so it's a long drive to anywhere. The many irregular stairs going to many levels in many directions are dangerous for older people and children and completely unsuited for the handicapped. I believe this location is best suited for local group events not requiring an overnight stay - there was a baptism while we were there. A corporate retreat could work as there are many spaces for breakout groups etc., but that would require functioning internet site-wide. The decor inside the rooms needs a cosmetic upgrade - aims for rustic but just looks sad.

Nice place in the mountains

Great place in the mountains, basic room, comfortable bed, needs some brush up - feels a bit old - broken mountings in bathroom - overall good value for money, friendly staff, excellent food, quiet room. Would come back

Nice heritage village, which we explored during our stay. The view from the restaurant was fantastic and the breakfast delicious. Room had basic facilities.

An Authentic Greek experience!

A truly unique experience, it felt like we were staying at a friend’s place rather than at a hotel. Very homey and our room had a beautiful view. The restaurant was charming, with delicious food and we even had a group of excellent musicians with authentic Greek dancers in costume. Anther bonus - it was a 15 minu LP te drive to the airport. A great stay!

Nonostante fosse un villaggio di un certo livello abbiamo avuto il bagno inutilizzabile - facendo la doccia usciva l'acqua dalla grata del pavimento e non scendeva dalla vasca. Al momento del pagamento ho dovuto pagare 14 euro per tassa locale che, a mio avviso, avevo già pagato a mezzo Expedia ma, anche mostrando la ricevuta, mi hanno detto di sentire Expedia perchè non capivano il motivo del doppio pagamento...assurdo!
LARA, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Insgesamt din sehr schönes, traditionelles Hotel welches einer traditionellen Siedlung nachempfunden wurde. Die Aussicht ist sehr einladend und das Personal ausgesprochen zuvorkommend. Allerdings ist zu erwähnen, dass des öfteren große Hochzeitsfeiern in der Anlage stattfinddn, weshalb es nachts sehr laut werden kann. Parkplätze sind dann ebenfalls keine mehr zu finden. Trotzdem insgesamt empfehlenswert, wenn man bei nächtlichem Lärm gut schlafen kann und auf Parkplätze direkt vor dem Hotel keinen Wert legt.

Bellissima struttura caratteristica del luogo tutta in pietra e legno. Ideale per chi ama la natura la pace e il silenzio e non fli ambienti lussuosi e sfarzosi. Ottima la piscina e bello l'allestimento della zona di ristorazione personale gentile ed accogliente. La colazio e ricca di prodotti genuini. Consigliato a chi ama il relax totale.

Staff très sympathique, belle propriété. Les moins : literie médiocre, plomberie vetuste (douche et lavabo), eau de la piscine un peu trouble, et une perruche en cage (qui préférait sans doute voler librement).

Struttura mediamente curata solo nelle parti comuni, forse perché utilizzata quotidianamente per feste/eventi, camere fatiscenti e bagni in condizioni pietose. La prima camera assegnataci era sporca e con forte odore di muffa, un po’ meglio la seconda…

Village hotel adorable

Traditionnel et tupique ce village hotel cretois. Nous avons adoré les ruelles, la place du village et sa chapelle, c'est magnifique. Arrivée tardive, repas pret dans notre frigo de chambre, genial! Confort simple mais on ne manque de rien, clim frigo salle de bain privée avec douche. Petit dejeuner tres copieux à l ombre sous les arbres de la terrasse surplombant la piscine. Tres calme. Nous avons assisté a un mariage tipyque c etait incroyable avec musiciens.
