9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (33)
"I made a reservation via Expedia on January 19. We've paid for the room. Today we came to the hotel, on March 27, after 24 hours of traveling there from home in USA. Manager of the property told us she doesn't have a reservation from Expedia. Moreover we've got a confirmation from VRBO and owner of this particular studio i had reserved via Expedia and paid said that he does not know anything about us. We are using Expedia service for years and now we are in different country without place to...

Rejuvenate family & friends at Stunning Villa Estia - close to beach & tavernas.

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (17)
"Our holiday in the Villa met all our high expectations. The Villa has superb accommodation and outside areas and facilities. The Management Company looked after a couple of issues which arose, including loss of hot water, very quickly. Makry Gialos is a fantastic and authentic resort, away from the tourist hot spots. So nice, I fear its secret will be out soon and it will grow and lose some of its charm. I recommend you get to it now! Martyn, Shirley & family. "

Luxury Villa with Shared Pool and Stunning Sea and Mountain Views

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (15)
"A lovely place, situated conveniently close to beaches, various restaurants, local shops and a 'mini'market'. Free parking is available uncovered or covered. None of the properties around the 20m x 10m pool look at each other, increasing your privacy. The only downside was the management dealing with problems etc. We advised them that the TV was not working. They said that that they would arrange for an engineer to come out, but nobody came."

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (10)
"When we first arrived I was worried that the villa was too remote but we were close to 2 beautiful beaches and the town was only a 10 minute drive. The pool area was lovely with great views and it was good to have all en suite rooms."

Makrigialos: Athena 3 bedroom Holiday Villa with Private Swimming Pool, Wifi

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (17)
"No directions via email were given to us but we managed to find the property. The name of the Villa wasn’t displayed so we didn’t know which one it was. The key doesn’t fit the front door properly and the owner was on in contactable so it was all a bit of a fraught start. Spoke to the owner two days later, who said that I had her landline number and not her mobile. Hence she didn’t reply when we couldn’t get into the property. Villa is on a very steep slope and any cars with small engines, can’t...

Villa with great view and swimming pool with jacuzzi - in Makri Gialos village

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (7)
"A lovely property overlooking Makrigialos Bay! Balcony was perfect for breakfasts, lunches and family time after our evening meal in a wide variety of tavernas across the area. The pool is perfect for a gentle swim or family games and the enclosed jacuzzi at one end added to the relaxing experience. Eleni, our host, could not have been more helpful. She provided a fabulous welcome package and detailed information about the area. Through chatting with her we were able to choose a variety of...

The penthouse at Lagada Resort

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"Lovely accommodation. Everything you would need for any length of stay, well equipped kitchen. The pool is perfect for families as it has 2 shallow areas. The only downside is there is nothing within walking distance so a car is essential."

Large family house with sea view and 2 pools

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (6)
"schönes Ferienhaus, wir haben die drei Terassen geliebt, in der ersten Woche hatten wir den einen Pool fast für uns allein, ohne Auto nicht machbar, mit Google Maps nicht gefunden, ca. 2 Fahrstunden von Heraklion entfernt, mit Glück auch schneller, der Vermieter muß die Substanz im Auge behalten, damit die Qualität nicht sinkt"

STEAMED CLEANED Luxury Villa, Private Heated Pool, Sea & Mountain Views

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (15)
"We were family of 5 ranging from 23 yrs up plus friends of theirs and the areas of villa suited us so well. Outside space great round pool and other coveted seated areas. Driving a must really as the local cafes, supermarkets and beaches all down the bumpy gravel track to villa about 5 mins away only but definitely a must. The pin drop for villa also essential especially if arriving in dark! One of our best family holidays in an unpretentious area that’s not full of British tourists!"

Porto Maltese Boutique Estate

1.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (41)
" Porto Maltese Boutique Estate offers a great stay with a charming atmosphere. The staff is cool and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. However, the rooms are smaller than they appear in the photos, which may come as a surprise. Despite this, the location and ambiance make it a solid choice for a cozy stay in Agios Nikolaos."

"The hotel was clean but no one to solve problems. No internet service due to management not turning our room number on- very very very poor. Washing machine provided but no instructions and would not turn off or release door to remove clothes. Four hours of non stop running. No one around to help- owner left town."

Charming house with sea view

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (14)
"This beautiful rustic cottage was ideal for our two week stay in mid May with our daughter and her husband. It’s on a hillside, is very private, has a lovely terrace overlooking the tiny village and the ocean. We had the local beach to ourselves and enjoyed several nearby pristine (and empty) beaches as well. There are excellent family-run tavernas within walking distance and many hikes in stunning nearby gorges. Ioanna welcomed us with homemade jam and biscuits and the local raki liqueur and...
