3. Old Town Charm-Cozy 2BR with Rooftop

Old Town Rethymnon

"This spot was exactly what we wanted for our stay in Rethymno! The actual residence is even more exquisite than the pictures - minimalist but thoughtful decor and an amazing rooftop view. It is on a quieter street on the edge of town, allowing easy access to all the restaurants, shops, beach, etc. without a bunch of foot traffic. Access to a full kitchen and washer/dryer made our stay even more comfortable. The hosts were proactive in communicating about self check-in and very accessible for...

13. Charming cottage with a unique view

Episkopi Rethymnon

"My family's stay at the cottage was wonderful. The home was spacious, clean and mostly comfortable (although the beds were a little bit too firm for my family). The mountain and sea views were fantastic! Herbert was a kind and gracious host and was always available in case we had any concerns. He was delightful to talk to and he has a wealth of knowledge about the area. Although we were on a pre-planned schedule, he was always willing to offer a tour of surrounding areas. All in all, the stay...

15. Semi-Detached House On A Beautiful Holiday Park With Sea View From Terrace

Panormos

"The apartment matches the description and the photos. It is well set up, with everything you need for your stay. There are 2 AC units, one in each room, with a door that can be closed between them. The patio has shade all day and a nice view of the pool. The pool is well-maintained, and perfect for families, with several depth options. The apartment is a great base to explore the area. It takes about 15 minutes to walk into town (1km), where there are lots of dining and shopping options. "

17. Askoutsi Manor, a Natural Tranquil Retreat! With jacuzzi terrace!

Rethymno

"We wanted to experience Crete's culture. You really cannot do that when you stay in a hotel with 500 or your favorite friends!! This Villa is located about 30 minutes from Rethymno. Nestled in the foothills surrounded by olive orchards at about 1100 feet above sea level. We were there for 18 days. We discovered a Taverna (Mina's) in Garazo about 15 minutes away. The owners MADE our stay! Genuine Cretan food and hospitality."

"Not a good situation or experience with this property. We arrived at the local beach (beautiful) and enjoyed our day. At 4 pm I messaged the host to see if we could check in(check in after 4 pm on listing) and was told property not ready and to come at 6 pm and we said ok. We arrived at 6 pm to the property to find property in disarray and place absolutely nothing like posted pictures(pictures likely 5 years old). Host frantically trying to clean space with wipes and nothing ready. Beds unmade...

Top Rethymnon Hotel Reviews

The Syntopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful experience at the Syntopia. The staff were friendly and attentive without being formal or overpowering. As an example, the person on reception who checked us in remembered our room number a week later at check out! Had an amazing massage at the spa and made the most of the pool and roof top bar every day Food was fresh, tasty and varied every day"

Oros Luxury Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was simply perfect. From the beautiful pool-access room to the exceptional kindness and hospitality of the staff, every detail felt special. The hotel manager personally walked us to the dining room on our first visit, and Nikos from one of the hotel’s impressive restaurants was absolutely amazing. The spa is also fantastic and even offers hairdressing services. Simply wow. If you’re visiting Crete, don’t miss the chance to stay at OROS. An unforgettable experience!"

Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The service was excellent throughout, with friendly, attentive staff who were always available and made us feel genuinely well looked after. The food was a highlight. We had breakfast each morning and one evening meal, both of very good quality, with a wide selection and plenty of vegetarian and some vegan options. Breakfast wasn’t quite as hot as the evening meal, but was still very good. The restaurant itself is lovely, overlooking the pool. Our room was modern, clean and spacious, with a huge balcony, a lovely hot tub and a great second-floor view of the pool and sea. The bed was extremely comfortable and the lighting system was very useful. The pool area is beautiful, with plenty of space and no difficulty finding sunbeds. The beachfront location is a real highlight, with a gorgeous sandy beach and clear blue water. We even managed to get a cabana twice, free for guests of the hotel. The spa and indoor pool were also excellent. We both had massages, which were genuinely very good and better than many hotel spa treatments. The location is great, towards the end of the main strip but with restaurants and bars in every direction. The old town is around a 40-minute walk or 10-minute taxi ride away, and e-scooters & bikes are readily available nearby. We honestly have no negatives to mention, it is a fantastic hotel and an easy recommendation."

Eltina Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel easy to find, next to large supermarket on a main road, a mile from the cross island route. Some parking, 3 allocated spaces and then on street parking nearby Has a lift but some stairs involved for most rooms. Room was a 2 room apartment with a large lounge/kitchen area, with a large Smart TV, oven, hob and fridge. Balcony off each room, large shower room, and plenty of storage space. Complimentary breakfast was good. Pool area limited, not enough sunbeds and begins to lose sun from about 3pm. Staff were pleasant and helpful. 100yds from the massive beach and its safe promenade full of bars and restaurants leading to town, about a mile away. The main road option I would avoid on foot, parked cars and busy junctions."

The Royal Senses Resort & Spa Crete, Curio Collection Hilton

8/10 Good

"This is a good resort with many pools and spa but not on the beach. There is a shuttle that takes you to a small cove across the street but it has limited chairs/sunbeds and can get taken very early. Good food option with a main buffet (excellent choice) and two other restaurants that were not part of the half board. Excellent sunset views from all rooms. Best to get rooms higher up the hill. Rooms are comfortable. Rooms without the pools are bigger actually. We had no hot water for a day which was quite inconvenient as we were supposed to go out for hiking early morning. Showers are messy due to the way they are designed. I don’t like the concept of not having a wash basin in the toilet. But overall a good experience but if you want to be on the beach this is not what you should choose."

Iberostar Waves Creta Panorama & Mare

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay, my kids loved it. The hotel is lovely and has the most beautiful sunset form our sea view bunglalow and the bar area. The food was great, the all inclusive options were fantasitc and such great value. The cleanliness of the rooms and everywhere was impeccable. Thank you! We will deifnitely be back"

Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent food from all of the restaurants, snack bars and even the buffet. Good range of pools without any major issue finding sun loungers. Beach is sandy and can easily swim in the sea safely. Water park is great to have as another option. Hotel is big on sustainability so have to refill your own water bottles each day, but easy enough to do. We occasionally needed to request the room to be cleaned via the app as not always done daily, however each time we requested it to be cleaned it was done within the hour."
