Guest Reviews

• Sylvie (9/5): Hotel sans chichis où la relation humaine (re)trouve tout son sens - The Paradise, c'est le paradis car vous êtes chouchoutés par les propriétaires qui sont adorables. Maria a monté mon bagage qui pesait une tonne à l'étage et m'a prêté du matériel (encore merci!). Grâce à elle j'ai pu prendre le dernier ferry de la journée (8h45 du matin) car les suivants étaient annulés à cause de la météo. C'est un hôtel simple, mais qui offre l'essentiel : un accueil chaleureux et un sentiment d'être comme chez soi. Les chambres vue mer avec balcon offrent un lit très confortable, des oreillers ou couvertures supplémentaires si nécessaire, sur la terrasse il y a en plus du mobilier un étendoir avec pinces à linge bien pratiques. Il y a un sèche-cheveux. La chambre est simple mais offre toutes les commodités, sauf une garde-robe mais cela n'est pas nécessaire. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. L'hôtel est très proche du débarcadère et des gorges. On s'y sent bien. Rien de particulier.
• Nicolas (10/5): - L'accueil, la moussaka, le petit déjeuner, les oranges offertes par nos hôtes, le calme,... Bref tout !
• Julia (10/5): cozy small hotel for a good price with very lovely hosts - nice family run hotel; price is really good for what you get; very friendly, welcoming and considering hosts <3
• GEORGIOS (10/5): -
• PANTELIS (7/5): - Η θέα ήταν όλα τα λεφτά και η ησυχία το βράδυ. Η Ευγένεια της ιδιοκτήτριας. Φασαρία από τις πόρτες το μεσημέρι. Πολύ μικρό δωμάτιο. Δεν είχε τηλεόραση και δεν είχε χώρο για ντουζιέρα. Τα νερά έπεφταν σε όλο το μπάνιο. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι το παρατήρησα αυτό στην ιδιοκτήτρια, η οποία όμως με καθησύχασε ότι είναι σε γνώση της.
• jean-baptiste (9/5): Une délicieuse soirée étape - Paradise porte bien son nom : c'est un établissement très bien équipé, accueillant et conforme aux standards locaux avec beaucoup de charme dans la meilleure simplicité. D'une grande gentillesse, Maria et sa famille furent des plus agréables et prévenantes pour un séjour réussi où hébergement et restauration étaient assurés (inoubliable mouton mijoté !). On se sent immédiatement bien dans ce cadre sympathique et chaleureux. La dimension des lits simples quand on est de très grande taille, mais c'est usuel dans ce pays, donc pas propre à cet hôtel et nullement à reprocher aux propriétaires.
• Irene (7/5): -
• Roman K (7/5): Good rest after Samaria gorge - Welcome staff, warm bed blanket during cold weather, clean room, great seaview and also to the village and the surrounding mountains. The location of Agia Roumeli is convenient for rest after Samaria gorge. Ferry station is also nearby. Plenty of delicious restaurants nearby. Bathroom is combined with toilet, but water stays on the floor after shower, better tiling could have fixed that. The bed is too short for tall people. Door handles are very old and do not work well.
• Sarah (10/5): Wonderful, restful and relaxing stay at very friendly hotel with great food. - Delicious breakfast and amazing location. Very friendly welcome from the lovely couple who own the hotel. I was made to feel very at home.

• Łukasz (10/5): Great hosts and good room - Great stay, hosts were extremely nice and welcoming, the restaurant had great breakfest. Room was solid, beds were great. A bit dated bathroom but it was ok
• zvone (8/5): -
• Brouse (9/5): - The room was quiet and close to everything we needed The owners weee very helpful but it was hard to find them at times.
• DANIELA (9/5): Daniela e Marcello - La gentilezza dei titolari nel rendersi disponibili a tutte le nostre esigenze, l'unicità della struttura con una vista spettacolare sul mare Nulla
• Tomasz (7/5): Dobre miejsce na krótki pobyt - Spokojna okolica, pokój skromny, ale z lodówką i sprawnie działającą klimatyzacją, bardzo wygodne łóżko, mały balkon z widokiem na morze, dobra alternatywa na pobyt po przejściu Samarii W pokoju nie było telewizora, a zgodnie z ofertą powinien być, choć mi to akurat w żaden sposób nie przeszkadzało, bo i tak nie korzystam na co dzień
• Jutta (10/5): Seelenort - Die Lage zwischen des kleinen Dorfes am Hafen und der Samaria Schlucht ist sehr schön. Die Terrasse ist ein sehr schöner Platz mit Blick aufs Meer. Das Essen ist super gut. Frisch gekocht von Georgios. Die Inhaber der Pension sind so symphatisch und hilfsbereit. Ein Geheimtipp auf einer Südküstenreise!!!
• Aaron (10/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): A slice of nostalgia, a bit like Greece from 30 years ago but with cute modern touches. - The location was stunning, so close to the sea but yet with easy access along cobble path to centre of village. Very characterful taverna. Fantastic hosts Maria and Yiorgos who have had this taverna and rooms since 1994. Thank you so much for all your kindness.
• Julia (10/5): -
• Αγάπη Δημητριάδη (8/5): -
• Eric (9/5): - Superbe accueil de Maria et Yeorgos! Petite chambre simple et confortable. Réfrigérateur silencieux ! Bonne literie, petite terrasse. Bonne climatisation et bon wifi. Un excellent rapport qualité prix dans une pension à la sortie du (petit) village vers les gorges de Samaria. Pas de bruit ou de musique intempestive . Une halte de 5 jours que nous avons appréciée.
• Lola (10/5): - Simple and lovely accommodation in Agia Roumeli. The hosts were kind and accomodating. Nice to be set a bit back from the main row.
• leonore (10/5): C'est vraiment le paradis - Tout: les proprietaires Maria et Georges absolument charmants, adorables, l'emplacement, la vue depuis le balcon de la chambre, la propreté, la simplicité , nous aurions aimé rester plus de deux nuits tellement nous nous sommes sentis dans un environnement chaleureux, n'hesitez pas à reserver si vous aimez la simplicité et l'authenticité! Rien!
• Iraia (10/5): -
• Claudia (10/5): - L’accoglienza e la gentilezza dei proprietari
• Agnieszka (10/5): Happy, loved it :) - The place is great, very welcoming, relaxing, with good vibes, very clean and tidy, calm and quiet, with beautiful sea view, I had a very good time there, and it was great idea to stay there and relax after my Samaria hike. The owners are very nice and helpful, highly recommended, loved it! :)
• Martina (9/5): Superb - Thank you.
• Kruml (9/5): Superb -
• Erik (10/5): Exceptional - This is how simple hotels in Greece looked like 40 years ago. Cheap, basic, effective, no frills. What is truly outstanding in this place is the hospitality of the owners.
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Maria and Giorgios are the perfect hosts. This is the old Crete: simple, friendly, genuine. They are fantastic. I loved everything. But this isn't a posh or luxurious place. It's way better than that. Maria and Giorgios welcome you in and make you feel at home.
• Joshua (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sotiris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mirna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maurice (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location with sea view, comfortable and clean room. Very kind hosts, gave us all the tips for our Samaria gorge ascent.
• Jeff (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (9/5): Great Value, Comfortable Stay, Friendly! - I really enjoyed my stay at Paradise. George and his wife gave me a very nice welcome and were a pleasure to talk with, like staying with friends. The room was very clean and comfortable, it had a balcony with coastal view and AC. The place is 3 minutes walk from the main restaurant area so it's quiet and feels isolated yet your so close. George was a good source of information for the E4 hiking trail which I was walking. The food was delicious, they gave me Greek yogurt with cherries from their garden, delicious. This was the best priced property in the village, a great value, I couldn't have asked for more and definitely reccomend. Thx George!!
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Maria (8/5): Very good - kind and helpful host the room had everything i needed
• Lee-ann (10/5): Exceptional - This is a simple, clean and comfortable accommodation with gorgeous views of the mountains and sea. The best thing was the amazing staff, Maria and her husband Jorge. They are incredibly kind and accommodating. Old fashioned hospitality at its best. Thank you so very much!!!
• Gail (9/5): Superb -
• Mark (8/5): Very good -
• David (10/5): The old Crete. The best Crete. - Maria & Giorgos are such a kind, hospitable, considerate couple, and their hotel is what I think of as the real Crete: simple, spotlessly clean, homely, welcoming, peaceful. Don't expect luxury. There's something far more valuable than that here... I liked everything. It's got all the best of the real Crete. Simplicity. Kindness.
• Sofy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Achim (9/5): Superb - very friendly owner nice place
• Sharon (10/5): The best place and people in all of Crete 🥰 - The location is truly paradise itself. The hosts Maria and George are the very best people you will ever meet, genuine, friendly and can't do enough for you. It's a real pleasure to come and stay here with them. It's a home from home.
• Kurt (9/5): Superb - The family was really friendly and made my stay very pleasant The rooms are a bit old and small but good enough for me for an overnight stay. There is all you need and the restaurant they have is good. I was the only one there and they still made me a great meal.
• Diamantopoulou (10/5): Very friendly and cosy stay, with great service and very quite place to stay - The balcony, the food, the people who own the place Nothing
• Calder (10/5): Exceptional -
• Simona (8/5): Very good -
• Andrey (10/5): A simple hotel in a magic location - A simple hotel in a magic location. The quietness, the sounds of nature, the village and the people are unforgettable.
• Andrey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shana (8/5): Very good -
• Theoriginaltravellerman (7/5): Good - Didn't have any hot water in the mornings.
• Sara (10/5): Exceptional - Giorgos and María made us feel home during our stay. Homemade food in the taberna and very clean and confortable rooms with the best views of Agua Roumeli. Definetly we will come back.
• Richard (9/5): Superb -
• Farah (3/5): Poor - No hot water, too cold to shower and no heating. No working light in the bathroom (pitch black), very noisy late at night. Owner is nice. Room itself is clean though very minimally equipped.
• Laetitia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tereza (8/5): Very good - Very kind and friendly hosts. I could leave my things there until evening departure. Perfect location outside the main village streets, good view. The house was sometimes noisy at night.
• Lee (9/5): Great location and perfect hosts - Maria and Giorgos are the perfect hosts. This pension has everything you need for a comfortable stay on a budget. The place was very clean and in such a great location. The food in their restaurant is incredible too!
• Alexis (8/5): Sweet place with sea view and lovely owners - Maria and Giorgos are the best hosts. They helped us with everything and treated us like family from the first day. We will be back!
• Idalia (8/5): Lovely hosts, beautiful view - This hotel is a bit further out than the other properties. That means it’s much quieter and you have a beautiful view of the cliffs and the sea, and at night, the stars are crystal clear. The actual room furnishings are mostly the basics, but the owners’ kindness makes up for it. As a solo female traveler, I really felt safe and enjoyed my stay. Wifi could be a bit stronger, but it did the job
• Alexis (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you very much for your hospitality and welcome! we will come back with pleasure!
• Xaria (9/5): Peaceful stay with great views! - It was a nice refuge after a long hike in Samaria gorge. We loved the beautiful water views from the balcony, and enjoyed cooling down with the A/C. The owners were extremely welcoming and it was a great value! We didn't realize the remote for the A/C was in a drawer, so we spent a couple hours sweating. Luckily we figured it out! Also, thin walls meant we could hear a noisy guest nearby
• Greg (9/5): Such a privilege to have met such genuine people, hard working honest and generous. - We loved the hosts👍 Such a kind couple, pure cretan kindness at its best, nothing was too much trouble We will DEFINITELY return Thank you Georgos and Maria Greg and Margie Ireland Nothing
• Valeria (9/5): Sea, mountain, wonderful people, you must come here! - The hotel is in a great position, a few steps from the town, stores and harbour, and a few steps on the other side to a wonderful and relaxing walk which takes you to the entrance to Samaria Gorge. It is really quiet and it includes a nice restaurant where you can eat with a sea view. Our room had a private balcony with a wonderful view of the bay through an archway. I think it is the best room in the hotel and I'm so glad I booked it more than six months in advance. The room inside is small and a bit old but it is so cheap and it has such a beautiful sea view that you can't ask for more. The owners are so kind and patient and they also take care of the town cats who stay in a garden in front of the building. They are really wonderful people and we felt like at home with family. If you want to walk in the Samaria Gorge or even just take a break from the stress of work and the city you must absolutely come here. As I said, the room is a bit old but the sea view is totally worth it.
• Dimitrios (9/5): Superb - Great value for money for a short stay in Agia Roumeli. The owners are friendly and accommodating. Nice view from the balcony. Cleanliness A bit old and outdated.
• Alexander (10/5): Amazing service, exceptionally friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit many more times. -
• Angelos (8/5): Very good - The location was great, very close to the exit of the Samaria Gorge. The highlight was the food offered. I've recommended it already to friends even if they're not staying there. Very friendly people.
• Cristina (8/5): Lovely view and good value for the money - Nice little space with beautiful view of the sea straight from the bed! Clean, simple and absolutely lovely staff! A bit humind and some insects, but it is normal for this region!
• Paulina (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely love the stay. The place is very quiet, perfect for a rest after a long hike. It’s super close to Samaria Gorge and other interesting trails. Has a tavern downstairs where Georgios serves amazing local food. Georgios and Maria are amazing hosts, very warm, very helpful and crying. Room itself clean, cosy and with a very nice sea-view. Room has basic equipment (kettle, fridge, air-condition, additional blankets and pillows) , but it’s all what we needed. Very very good value for reasonable money. Definitely a place to come back ! Bathroom is quite old fashioned, could be renovated, however it’s not a huge disadvantage. Off season - mind ferries to Agia Roumeli timetable ;)
• Janet (6/5): Simple rooms, friendly hosts - Lovely, welcoming hosts. Room itself was basic, and dated, as expected for the price paid. Quiet, as most guests seemed to be solo walkers. Large dining room serving food all day. There was no kettle in the room, as advertised on Booking.com so had to purchase drinks in their dining room (which somewhat added to the cost of the stay). The whole building looks in need of repair - the rooms are not just dated, the building work is poorly finished. There were electricity power cuts in the evening and overnight.
• John (8/5): Proprietor could not have been more welcoming and friendly - Breakfast was excellent Shower could have been hotter
• Liz (10/5): Very special place to stay. Beautiful, clean, relaxing. Very friendly and helpful hosts. -
• Fiona (9/5): Superb - We were delighted with our stay at Paradise. Maria and Georgios are warm, kind and very lovely hosts. The breakfast on the terrace in the morning with delicious local honey was a true pleasure. Our room was very clean with a balcony and beautiful sea-view. The facilities are simple but have everything we would have wished for - including a kettle and fridge and good air conditioning. We were very pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality of accommodation for a very reasonable price. Thank you so much Maria and Georgios! We had a very happy time staying with you in charming Agios Roumeli :-)
