"All the staff were very obliging and very helpful. This is not a Hotel. Rooms for rent, more applicable. Our room, the classic, was very small, very little storage room, very small wardrobe. Which had five clothe hangers. No were to store the suitcase, so small it was difficult for two people to move around. Luke warm shower in the morming, air conditioning was faulty, these were rectified after several complaints were made. Very poor choice of television channels. WiFi was ver good. Spoke to maitaince staff, who informed us that last year's maintenance had not been carried out untill we had arrived. Ancient coffee machine, which was broken. No kettle or tea making facilities. No communal areas, no seating facilities, no bar. Only a small restaurant were breakfast was served, closed at 10 am. Very small pool, with sun loungers. No tables or chairs. This is ok for one or two nights. We a were there for ten nights. OVER all very dissapoint ING."

"We had a good stay overall, with a few things worth noting. The staff were excellent. Petros handled a leak in our room brilliantly and upgraded us to a suite while it was fixed. The bar staff were also very attentive and friendly. The main downside was the spa setup. For a hotel marketed as a 5* hotel and spa, it was disappointing that all facilities come at an extra cost. The sauna and jacuzzi require a private booking (30 minutes, €25–30 per person). The jacuzzi was also only lukewarm and only seemed to heat up towards the end, which goes very quickly. It was also a shame the indoor spa pool was closed. I understand this is no longer advertised, but it would have made a big difference, especially in bad weather. That said, the massages were excellent and worth the €50–60 per person. The hotel is a mix of old and new. The older side shows wear, with stains on couches and cushions, but the beds were comfortable and housekeeping was great. The suite was lovely. I would recommend paying extra for newer rooms in the spa building. Breakfast had nice touches like local honey, also given as a check-out gift, but vegetarian options were limited. Indoor seating can be tight in colder months. Overall, great service but not quite a 5* spa experience."

"Good stay the host was very attentive "

"Ein sehr besonderes Haus, das man rasch lieb gewinnt. Die Vermieterin Sofia und ihre Tochter Machi sind einfach nur wunderbar! Alle auftretenden Fragen konnten unmittelbar geklärt werden. Mehrfach wurde das Haus gereinigt und immer stand danach eine Überraschung auf dem Tisch, selbst gemacht! Grandios und äußerst schmackhaft. Ein Auto ist aufgrund der Lage unabdingbar. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt!"

"Very comfortable hotel in excellent position. Lots of restaurants nearby and bus outside every 15 minutes to Chania. Hotel provided fruit, bottle of wine and biscuits in the room."

"We didn't use the spa or the bar"

"Room was basic but functionable. Dinner was ok. Had the moussaka for dinner it was ok on the small side for the price and a bit dry. Only stayed 1 night "

"The hotel is located about 5-10 minute walk to the beach with a bunch of restaurants around as well as a ton of pools. Breakfast was excellent! Would stay here again."

"We visited Balito with a family of 7 and had the most wonderful stay. The hotel is small but updated and it is run by a wonderful family who makes you feel at home. The pool area is lovely and the breakfast and coffee is perfect in the morning. The rooms were good for our large family (we had two rooms with 3 beds each) and the area is very walkable. It’s about a 14 min walk to the beach (with my slower children) and a 10 min taxi into Chania. There is also a bus to take you to town and some of the other beaches that stops nearby but we didn’t do it because of elders in our group. There is a taverna around the corner that was amazing. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and will be back again if we return to Crete. "
