This hotel is probably the highest quality in Crete, certainly in Malia. The family who run the hotel are amazing and are happy to look after you. The location is far enough out of the town to be away from the noise, but only a 10 minute walk, meaning you aren't secluded. The rooms are nice, pool is lovely and... More

We was staying three times in Malia. Hotel Matheo was the best. Next year we are coming again. We have appreciated the hotel family atmosphere. The room was quiet and we have had a wonderful sight to the sea.

Stayed at the hotel in September. The family who own the hotel were great, really friendly and welcoming. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the pool was brilliant. You are far enough away from the main strip of Malia to avoid noisy bars and nightclubs but within walking distance for shops and the beach. It is an ideal place to... More

Alot of the reviews were fairly old before we visited so heres a nice up-to-date one for you! Having worked in the London hospitality industry, it was nice to come away to Crete and stay at the Hotel Matheo! We arrived expecting to be away from everything and having to pay countless euros for taxis back and for to malia... More

The hotel is set inland, up in the hills away from the madness of Melia and the crowded beach. It's not too far to get down to town - should you be feeling masochistic. The hotel staff are great, very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and the aircon works. The only thing that will annoy you is if... More

When we booked it we were a little concerned with everything u hear about malia, we couldn't have been more wrong, George and the family were fabulous hosts , the hotel was a... More

We booked a standard room and were given one in the main building. The room was old, knocked about and the shower was a trickle. We also had to pay 82 EUROS for 7 days 'rent' of air conditioning, fridge and safe which were all listed as being included in the room rate. On our last day when we paid... More

My boyfriend & I went to visit friends working in malia, this hotel was just perfect, a few euros in a taxi to the old town & malia strip but you'd never know you were in a hotel in Malia. The place was peaceful and so chilled out. Wonderful family who made us feel incredibly welcome. I'm hoping to go... More
