Paradise Matala is very well located. We have been here before and we can only recommend the place. Super clean, friendly staff, nice breakfast and a great pool. We booked a room in July and we could not come to Matala. We live in Crete, so we asked to come at a later date. Giorgos was so kind to let us come in October. Here you find real Cretan hospitality. We love it!

I stayed at Fantastic Matala for more than a week, and I must admit I found more than I could hope for: a combination of comfort, convenience, and hospitality. One of the standout features was how super clean the place was. I really appreciated the fact that they adapted to my routine and managed to refresh my room in the morning, allowing me to rest during the hottest hours of the day. The bed was incredibly (!) comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep, while great water pressure, strong WiFi and effective AC added to the convenience. The delicious morning cakes were a delightful treat, while Natasha and her family were extremely nice, always welcoming and responsive, making my experience there even more enjoyable. The location is ideal, with easy access to the beach, shops and tavernas. Everything was a couple of minutes away, soothing to be able to go back and forth whenever needed. All in all, Fantastic Matala is truly fantastic. Thank you & see you next time!

    Matala is one of those places you didn't know you needed to visit until you go.. and then never want to leave. A long, sandy beach, with beautiful clear water, Matala is big enough to have a wide selection of places to eat & shop and yet not be too big. And in Scala & George's Yard it has two very, VERY good restaurants.

    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).

    The communal area of the hostel is bright and spacious. The pool area is perfect for lounging around and catching some sun or taking a swim. The hostel is only a 5 minute walk from the beach/main area of Matala and the bus stop is right outside. There is a free/donation area in the reception area where other travellers can leave items they no longer require but may be of use to someone else which I think is a great idea!
