• Oliver (8/5): -

• Shiv (10/5): תמורה מעולה למחיר וצוות אדיב ביותר. תודה על שהות נעימה - ניקיון יוצא מן הכלל. כל יום ניקיון לחדר!! חדר נעים שירותים ומקלחת חדשים ומזמינים המזרון לא שיא הנוחות אבל סביר בהחלט. הכיריים איטיות מאוד לבישול. וויפי קראנו בביקורות מראש שלא יציב ואכן כך היה.
• Katherine (6/5): Good for a short stay… but hope you have an eye mask. - Good location and easy to park. Steps away from the beach and many tavernas. Our room was directly opposite a bldg with a very bright light that stayed on all night. The sheer curtains did nothing to prevent light from coming in. Not sure why, but the top sheet of the bed was not on the bed, nor was it even visible. It wasn’t until our feet came into contact with it, did we realize there even was one.(???)
• ANASTASIA (10/5): -
• Uta (9/5): Gute Lage im schönen Städtchen Kalamaki - Nähe zum Strand, nette Gastgeberin, Balkon, Mückenschutztür, renoviertes Bad, Meeresrauschen Küchenzeile abgewohnt, Geschirr und Besteck zusammengewürfelt und unansehnlich, kein Ablage für Kosmetika im Bad
• julien (10/5): Très belle découverte - Un hôtel très bien situé à 50 m de la plage. Chambre très propre avec tout le nécessaire. Le plus un petit balcon avec une vue imprenable sur la mer et le couché de soleil Personnel accueillant et sympathique. On reviendra avec plaisir. Rien
• Harald (10/5): -
• DORELLA (9/5): - Posizione, rapporto qualità prezzo, staff, set cortesia bagno, spazio cucina, balconi spaziosi su cui fare colazione, accoglienza, essere in camera e sentire il sottofondo del rumore delle onde. Base per escursioni. Nulla.
• Friederike (10/5): Traumurlaub - Ganz tolle Lage im Zentrum von Kalamaki direkt am Strand. Wir hatten einen Balkon mit Meerblick und konnten nachts beim Meeresrauschen wunderbar schlafen. Maria ist eine sehr liebe Gastgeberin! Ich war zum zweiten Mal dort.
• Marijana (10/5): A perfect place for a stay! - Kiknos Studios exceeded our expectations. Mary, the owner, is a wonderful and very positive person. Kiknos is placed next to the beach, but at the same time everything is tranquil. The rooms are very pleasant and clean. Everything we needed was in the vicinity and very accessible. The bar staff within the studio are very friendly and willing to provide you with all the advice to upgrade your plans and adventures. Awesome
• EICHENBERGER (9/5): ΕΘΧΑΡΙΣΤΗ -
• Romain (7/5): Bien - L'emplacement avec vue sur la mer qui est superbe (couché du soleil ☀️) La belle salle de bain. L'hôte (dame) très accueillante et bienveillante. La propreté de la cuisine et des équipements.
• Davide (10/5): Accoglienza calorosa e stanza in ottima posizione con vista sulla spiaggia. Consigliatissimo - Tutti molto gentili, anche le signore delle pulizie sempre sorridenti e disponibili :)
• Otilia Sandra (9/5): Overall, the stay offered very good value for money. - Everything was exactly as presented on the site; no unpleasant surprises. The bathroom is recently renovated and very nice, the bed is very comfortable. Cleaning was done daily, and the sheets and towels were changed every two days. The hosts were very kind (best wishes of good health to the lady!). The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which was quite weak. If you need to work on a laptop, it can be difficult, especially since the Vodafone GR signal in the room was also poor, making it hard to set up a reliable hotspot.
• Maria (10/5): Υπεροχη οικογενειακη αποδραση στο Καλαμακι με ολες τις ανεσεις μας. - Η ιδιοκτητρια η κ.Μαιρη φιλικη ευγενικη ζητησαμε να μπουνε λιγο νωριτερα γιατι θελαμε να κανουμε χρηση του ψυγειου εχοντας μικρο παιδι και επρεπε να μπουνε καποια πραγματα στο ψυγειο.Το δωματιο ελαμπε δεν εχω μπει σε καθαροτερο δωματιο.Και καθημερινα εμπαινε η κ.Αννα η καθαριστρια στο δωματιο με αλλαγη ακομη και σε πετσετα οταν ζητησα.Μπραβο τους αψογοι σε ολα.Εννοειτε θα τους ξαναπροτιμησουμε!!!
• Therese (8/5): - A clean and friendly family-run studios hotel in a relaxed summer resort. Nestled right beside the beautiful Kalamaki beach, it offers simplicity, warmth, and easy access to the sea. Perfect for a peaceful, no-fuss holiday on the Cretan coast—what more could you ask for? Special mention, Maria was such a friendly and warm host, she and her husband made the guests feel like part of the family. Definitely worth revisiting during cooler months. While the kitchenette in our room was compact and best suited for light snacks and drinks, the fridge kept our beverages perfectly chilled for beach days. One of the highlights was the nearby supermarket with a lovely bakery—ideal for picking up fresh pastries and breakfast to enjoy by the sea.
• Antonio (9/5): Ottimo Studios - Vista mare,sotto c’è una spiaggia bellissima e comodissima!bagno nuovo e moderno 2 piano senza ascensore e molti rumori provenienti dalle camere confinanti
• regis (10/5): Exeptionnel - L;accueil, La proximité avec la grande plage de kalamaki et son coucher de soleil chaque soir. exeptionnel ! La grande douche.
• Svitlana (10/5): - Прекрасное расположение, море в 2 шагах, магазины и кафе рядом, прокат машин в соседнем здании, очень гостеприимные хозяева,семейная домашняя спокойная атмосфера. Уборка в номере ежедневно, замена постельного белья через день, полотенца менялись постоянно, в номере есть мини кухня, электрочайник, необходимая посуда, при желании можно готовить самостоятельно , а можно посещать кафе которое находится при отеле, заказывать завтрак и завтракать практически на берегу моря.Это отель для прекрасного спокойного отдыха!!!
• Claudia (10/5): - La solarità di Maria che è un host eccezionale. Disponibile e sempre sorridente ci ha fatto subito sentire in vacanza.
• Mindaugas (9/5): Superb - The location is very good. The studio was cleaned every day. The bed is very comfortable. There were mosquitos, but ii is not property problem. It is the nature.
• Lynne (10/5): Wonderful stay and friendly hosts - The studios were perfect for our week long stay. Spacious comfortable room with a fantastic view from our balcony of the village and hills. Towels and bedding changed regularly. A special mention for the amazing hosts and staff who go out of their way to make sure everything is ok for your stay and help with any questions. Maria and Anna were so warm, kind and friendly and we were made to feel like part of the family. Kalamaki is a beautiful resort for a relaxing holiday and I can highly recommend these studios.
• Kim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Voula (10/5): Great place for great price - On the beach and close to restaurants, bakeries, supermarket and small shops. Room was updated, clean and good size for the price. A/C worked wonderfully. Hot water was available at all times. Friendly service by Mary and her husband and the maid, Anna. Very safe location. Bathroom shower was updated but a bit smaller in size than what was expected, but did the job.
• Marius (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dimo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angelos (10/5): Excellent - Beach front location, free sunbeds for the guests, clean, quiet, friendly staff, daily cleaning. Overall very good!
• Lucie (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the location!! Owners were awesome and helped us get a boat tour.
• Andreas (8/5): Very good -
• Jovana (10/5): Hopefully we will come again! - Absolutely perfect stay! Maria, the host, is such an amazing and kind woman. Room was nice and cozy. Kitchen is small, but it has everything you need. Bathroom is freshly renovated with awesome marble like tiles. Bed and pillows are extremely comfortable. Location could not be better. 20 steps to the beach, and 30m to the awesome bakery and supermarket. Outside unit of air condition is a little bit noisy. The cleaning lady does not speak a word of English.
• Heidi (9/5): Amazing sunsets right at the beach - The owners are very nice people, so friendly and helpful :) The location couldn't be any better: it is just next to the beautiful beach and you can hear the waves when you sleep. The beds were comfortable. The cleaning should be better... The cleaning lady didn't remember to give us towels or toilet paper and one time she didn't lock the door when we were away... She didn't clean the toilet at all although we stayed there for 2 weeks... But this is definitely not the owners' fault: they helped us with everything!!!
• Helene (8/5): Very good - The beach, the landlady is super nice The terrace is fantastic A table and chairs inside the room would have been nice The fridge is too loud and needs to be unpluggued at night
• Cristiana (9/5): Great value at Kiknos - We had a wonderful experience at Studios Kiknos. The quality-price ratio is excellent, and we highly recommend this place. The owners and staff were incredibly nice and friendly. We would definitely recommend Studios Kiknos to others and book again in the future. Thank You!
• Filia (9/5): Perfect location, clean rooms - Loved the rain shower and the great water pressure. The room was clean and well maintained. The location is perfect, overlooking the beach. Small thing - but the pillows were a bit hard. One was not enough and two were too much.
