- Il Viaggiatore Impazzito (10/5): - tutto perfetto !!!!
- Jacqueline (10/5): - L'accueil souriant et agréable et le personnel aussi !! La propreté est excellente rien à redire sur l'intérieur et l'extérieur. L'emplacement aussi. Je le recommande vivement !! Le prix du billet du car et les indications sur les trajets d'un point à un autre son pas indiqué et aussi il n'y a pas de bornes sur tous les arrêts ( dommage) car je pense que le prix est différent selon les endroits et les arrêts. Le prix du billet doit être plus cher dans le car .
- Roberto (8/5): - Location location Everything was good
- Ilaria (8/5): Siamo stati molto bene. La proprietaria è veramente dolce e gentile. - Ambienti molto puliti. La proprietaria è molto cortese e disponibile e ci ha fatto il check in anche a sera tardi (alle 23.00) con molta gentilezza. Forse si potrebbe mettere più attrezzatura per cucinare e prodotti per lavare i piatti. C'è una dotazione molto essenziale.
- Roksolana (9/5): Напевно, найкраще що можна було обрати за таку ціну - Зручне розташування апартаментів. Поруч є невеличкі місцеві супермаркети і сувенірні лавки. Як і апартаменти, та і вся територія готелю була завжди чистою. Персонал був привітним і одразу відгукувались на будь-які прохання. В номері було все необхідне для зручного приготування легких страв. Спати з відчиненими вікнами недуже зручно через те, що чути гучну музику з клубів.

- NIKOLETA (4/5): - ΑΠΑΡΑΔΕΚΤΟ ΤΟ 2025 ΝΑ ΣΟΥ ΛΕΝΕ ΟΤΙ ΣΤΑ ΣΤΟΥΝΤΙΟΣ ΔΕΝ ΥΠΑΡΧΕΙ ΤΗΛΕΟΡΑΣΗ. ΑΝΗΚΟΥΣΤΟ!! ΣΤΟ ΧΕΙΡΟΤΕΡΟ ΚΑΤΑΛΥΜΑ ΝΑ ΟΑΣ ΜΙΑ ΕΣΤΩ ΜΙΚΡΗ ΤΗΛΕΟΡΑΣΗ ΥΠΑΡΧΕΙ
- SANDRO (9/5): Tutto sommato molto bene - La struttura è buona bene la piscina ed il giardino adiacente. E’ dislocata troppo verso il centro un po’ rumoroso. Non è colpa ovviamente della struttura. Comunque pulizie bene e aria condizionata inclusa nel prezzo. Non troppo bene il Wi-Fi che secondo me era troppo sovraccarico di utenti.

Gazdele ok! Patul mic pentru două persoane!
Salteaua patului doar acceptabilă!
Nu am avut detergent pentru vase!
- γκοντρας (8/5): - Το μπαλκόνι χωρίς θεά αλλα καταλαβαίνω ότι δεν είναι πάντα εφικτό βάση πληρότητας
- VALENTIN (9/5): - Totul a fost minunat. Mulțumim gazdei pentru tot. Curățenie impecabila, liniște, parcare în curte sau imediat în afara curții. Totul a fost ok.

- Philippe (8/5): - Etablissement très bien tenu , et calme , très bien situé dans Malia, proche des superettes et des restaurants . Les hôtes sont très à l'écoute des vacanciers. les ustensiles de cuisine minimum, permettent juste de faire des salades et des petits déjeuners. pas de micro onde, ni de grille pain; une seule plaque chauffante.

- Trifunovic (6/5): - Basta lepa i uredjena. Sobe se redovno čiste, menjaju se peškiri i posteljina Studio nije kao na slici , veći je ali u lošem stanju. Kupatilo staro nismo imali info da sami obezbedjujemo toalet papir. Nema Tv iako stoji u sadržaju . Ima budi na zidu spavaće sobe . Stare plastične stolice na terasi
Velika razlika u odnosu na sliku. Soba 204

- Gergana (10/5): Me and my friends totally loved the pool and the food there. The rooms were clean and had everything. - The hosts are amazing and so kind. The pool is amazing, we spent two days just chilling there.
- Zakaria (8/5): -
- Selima (9/5): Aangenaam verblijf en leuke familiebedrijf! - Vriendelijke familie, en locatie is gunstig net buiten de drukte van malia, kamers waren goed onderhouden. Bedden waren aan de harde kant.
- Mattia (1/5): -
- B7451KNlinas (4/5): Definitely is not a 4 star.. 2/3 star at max. - Cheap and close to the centre, but that’s about the only good thing. When we arrived, the male staff member watched us struggle up many stairs with heavy suitcases and didn’t offer to help. The room floor hadn’t been cleaned — sand everywhere and hair in the shower from the last guests.When our toilet paper ran out, we asked for more and were told to go buy our own. The listing says “air conditioning included” but it’s actually $8 a day. We didn’t pay and spent a week uncomfortably hot. My friend asked for a clean towel and was refused. One night, a male staff member wrongly accused her of not being a guest, shouted at her, and threatened to call the police, very unsettling.
Beds are rock-hard, the kitchen barely has utensils for a “self-catering” place, and the food is awful aka my tomato soup was green and tasted mouldy. Female staff are extremely patronising yet were overly friendly to the teenage boys staying there, not surprising.
Only stay here if you need somewhere cheap to sleep and don’t care about cleanliness or basic hospitality because the staff clearly don’t care either.
- delcourt (6/5): - hôtel très bruyant, pas propre du tout ménage tous les 2 jours environ. la salle de bain est une catastrophe et les lits pas du tout confortable.
la piscine est agréable.
- Ibrahim (6/5): Er is geen aandacht voor het vervangen van de lakens, en geen aandacht voor het vervangen van de han -
- Laurenţiu (9/5): Excelent - Camere mari , spațioase chicineta în camera Curatenia în camera de 2 ori pe săptămână

- Rawden (9/5): This was my 8th visit to Crete and the third time at Theoni's I will be back again. - Location is great as its really peaceful and yet within easy walking distance of all and any action you want,beaches,bus stops,shops, clubs,bars and restaurants.The pool is immaculate,as are all the facilities within the apartment.I am not a young person but am quite active so this is great.This place is civilised and genteel it is great for families and proper people,it is not recommended for 'rowdies' or anyone with 'attitude' and inconsideration of others. Maybe a bigger bowl for the washing up.
- Tautvydas (6/5): Fix your AC! - Good location. Pool area is ok Overall this place is a mess.Would not recommend. AC was terrible even if you leave it on all day it will not cool the room. Bed was super uncomfortable - separate mattress and solid pillows. One of the strangest things: You get one roll of toilet paper after finishing it you need to buy more yourself…Even thought pool area is good personal always sits near by the pool and watching you that felt a bit uncomfortable. To Sum up take this apartment if you can handle 30 degrees heat in the room after all day outside laying on the rocky beds and of-course prepare your own toilet paper.
- callumbS6178ZY (2/5): Abismal - Me and my girlfriend just finished our holiday at Theoni apartments, and all we can say about the rooms is that they are abismal, we came into to our "apartment" and found that we had no toilet seat and no remote for the AC, after asking the staff they told us that it would cost us 56 euro for the week to use the AC even thou on the booking it says this is included with the room. as for our toilet seat the staff said that it will be sorted monday, this was never sorted after asking for a second time we was practically told to suck it up and crack on. the only decent parts of this apartment/hotel is the pool to some degree, and the fridge being the only thing fully intact and working.
- Stamp-ruiz (8/5): Good 👍 - Lovely pool, friendly staff , nice big room Bad wifi, shower was very small and the curtain sticks to you when you shower
- Albannn (10/5): Good value for money and good location - Everything good value All was good
- Carol (9/5): Lovely people and would recommend to others. - Very nice people. Clean and comfortable room I wish they had a kitchen towel and dish soap for dish washing.
- Milica (8/5): Very good -
- Lior (10/5): 10 - The place is amazing and the hosts are wonderful
- Rawden (8/5): Every second was a joy. - Breakfast and location are great,as is the pool and there was wonderful mix of nationalities. Nothing it is truly one of the most relaxing places I have ever stayed.
- Victor (5/5): First and last time here. Thank you. - We liked the location cause it is located very near the center of Malia. The pool was clean and had a nice depth. It was safe and every night a security guard was guarding the apartments. We didn't like the way the cleaning lady was cleaning our room, we didn't like that our apartment didn't have any ventilation in the bathroom and the apartment didn't have many things included that other apartments have for the same price.
- Yvonne (8/5): Very good - Het weer, mw Theoni is very friendly, you can ask everything. I don't know
- Ruben (8/5): Very good - Pool is lovely 1-3M deep
Very clean
Owner is very nice Pillows
- Saoirse (6/5): My first home in Greece - Most of the staff was friendly and the room was kept clean. I moved to Crete and needed a temporary place to live and work from Some information on Booking.com is not correct:
* No socket near the bed
* The room has aircon, but you have to pay €7 per day
* No smoking throughout, not correct. People with asthma be aware that you will inhale smoke from your neighbours
Other things:
* Dodgy sockets
* 1 ring hob (living here for 35 nights and having only one ring to cook from)
* Bad internet connection (luckily my employer sent me a router so I could work)
* Not a silent place, other guests think they are the only ones there. One week there was a hysterical lady arguing and screaming every day. The nearby hotel has live entertainment most nights of the week, so bring earplugs
* Not sound or smell proof because of a shared vent with your neighbour. If they use the bathroom it's like somebody is in your room. And if they use the toilet the fumes enter your bathroom.
* Bins being emptied every other day, that means you have to wrap your dirty toilet paper very well because otherwise it's going to stink (not allowed to throw toilet paper in the toilet)
* You have to buy your own toilet paper
* No stuff to do the dishes with (had to buy it)
* No knives to cut your veggies and no potato peeler. Had to buy it too.
* Owners hardly speak English so communication was difficult
No help when I left. I moved to Greece so I have 3 suitcases, a backpack and a huge box with my computer gear for my work. I was put on the top floor and had to walk down the stairs with all my heavy stuff. The male host stood watching without offering any help.
When I was almost done the cleaning lady offered help and she carried my heavy stuff with me. The cleaning lady is the best btw. Works very hard.
The host not offering me cost the accommodation a point..
- Anderson (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vilmar (9/5): Superb -
- Louise (9/5): Clean, great location, good for money- would stay again - The location was great, the host was super lovely, the apartment was spacious, it had everything you needed to keep food and cook it. The balcony was nice. The bathroom was very clean and nice There were no sponges or towels for the kitchen. The AC didn’t work, we couldn’t find the remote for it either. The beds were a little hard but not unbearable. Do not disturb signs for the rooms- we had the door locked and the housekeeper came by for room service which was very lovely but we declined, they then continued to try the door, unlocked it anyway whilst my friend was getting changed…..not ideal.
- Gary (8/5): Very good - It is out of season so it's quiet,but I will come back in May, all staff were
Nice :)
- Jarqpro (9/5): Excellent! - Personnel is amazing! The place is comfortable, clean, we had amazing time here! I wish to come back to you. It would be better to have more plates, but we haven't asked for it, our bad. Cleaning every day might be too often imo. But those are details.
- Antonio (9/5): Superb - In the centre and with a nice swimming pool. Internet was not always stable.
- Eldin (10/5): Exceptional - Great apartment with AC, fully equiped kitchen, everything so clean , perfect pool outside and the bar to eat and drink (margarita + soft drink for only 7€ - you won't find that nowhere in Malia), I highly reccomend this place.
- Lorena (8/5): Very good -
- Michelle (10/5): We would definitely book to stay again, great value for money. - Ideal location, very close to the old town and the main bar street (within 5 minute walk to both). Very quiet and relaxing pool area. Pool bar serves a variety of snacks and meals all freshly prepared. Staff are lovely and friendly. Rooms spacious and clean. Nothing!
- Elena (5/5): Passable -
- Doreen (8/5): Very good - It was ok, well kept property-spacious grounds and apartment and very clean pool. The pool opens only from 10am-7.30pm. There was no A/c in the bedroom but in the living area only-but we managed to sleep well.
- Clément (9/5): Superb -
- Magda (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely amazing hotel . Location near strip and beach .Hotel was lovely with chill atmosphere with amazing family feel . Katherine that working there is amazing,nice and really helpful.Rooms and swimming pool area cleaned daily .There is security at night so hotel feel safe .Food really tasty and good for a value .Always beds at swimming pool area available. Great hotel .
- West (10/5): best time ever honestly - spacious, clean, good air con
- Claire (7/5): Basic but clean apartments, good location and the owners are lovely - The rooms and facilities were very clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful The beds were very uncomfortable
- Anastasia (7/5): Pleasant stay - Simple apartment with everything needed for a short stay. Clean room, beds are fine. Nice area around the pool, very peaceful. Good location - close to supermarkets and restaurants, yet quiet. KTEL stop to go to the airport or Heraklion is a couple of minutes on foot. Maybe it was just the room where I stayed but at times the sewage smell from the bathroom was unbearable. In the kitchen there was only one hot plate and very limited kitchen appliances, so cooking for one is doable (if you are creative and easygoing), cooking for two people or a couple wouldn't be possible. No sponge or dishwashing liquid in the kitchen. The Internet was unreliable.
- Guillermo (10/5): Exceptional - It’s not far away from the clubs and the beach, but far enough to have tranquility. Good location and if you’re traveling as a couple it’s super günstig. And the personal is really nice. You can imagine how nice this place is, if the only thing was that the doors were loud and the shower curtains short.
- Sylvie (10/5): Bon emplacement et bonne qualité de prestations - Studio tres calme et proche centre-ville. Pratique. Personnel agréable et serviable.
Espace piscine agreable
- Fry (9/5): Amazing; super relaxing and simple - Beautiful little resort and seems super discrete too, hidden gem No washing machine while its advertised but not a big deal
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Agnesemarija (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rawden (8/5): Despite the weather,which was mostly grey and overcaste,this place was very pleasant to stay in . -
- Harry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Raul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Raul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adriana (7/5): Good for a couple nights. - Location is good, close to city center.. Pool area is really nice with sunbeds and grassy area. Room size good. The apartment was very very cold in april. Had to ask for extra blankets. Sitting inside at night was cold. In summer the cold is a plus. Wifi only usable around pool.
- Bart (8/5): Very good -
- Guy (8/5): Very good -
- Whats_goes93 (10/5): Very nice and clean hotel! - Very clean and friendly Hotel! The pool area is very clean and the hotel is calm and the rooms have everything which is needed for a trip. The people there are very friendly and explain everything very properly and patiently. Will definitely come back again!
- Comoxjean (10/5): Exceptional - The manager is very nice and helpful and the property is beautiful. The pool is great and the pool bar serves reasonably priced delicious dinners. There are also good nearby restaurants. It is a 15 minute drive from the Malia archaeological site (stunning— we preferred it to Knossos) and it was 50 minutes to Knossos, in our opinion preferable to the shorter drive from Heraklion. We always prefer secure on site parking. The back lane parking felt safe, but it’s on a first come basis. We never had a problem, but at some times it might be difficult to find a spot there. There is also a nearby municipal parking lot and this small town felt very safe.
- Bercu (8/5): Very good - The signal of the Wi-Fi was very weak or none at all in my room..
- Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Volvo (9/5): Superb -
- 533jaenaa (10/5): Tidy appartment and excellent service. - Theoni appartments is a walking distance to the old village, main strip, bus stop, shops, supermarkets and restaurants. We even just walk to go to the beaches.
This accomodation is very clean and most of all, the owners and staff are very hospitable. There's a kitchenette. The pool and bar area are also well kept. We appreciate that there is security in the evening and it is relaxed and quiet. We felt safe and slept well throughout our holiday.
Even if we have to pay extra cost for the airconditioning, I think all in all, we got more than what we paid for.. excellent service and lovely team. Thank you also for the treats. ☺️
- Isabella (8/5): Very good -
- Chantel (9/5): Would stay again - Clean apartments, good location, friendly and helpful staff. No microwave in the apartments
- Sarah (10/5): Highly recommend Theoni Apartments wonderful people & special place. - Lovely place. very nice family run it who are really kind and friendly & it is great value for money. I’d like to return! it may not be to everyone’s tastes but for me it was wonderful. thank you!
- GeneralMacs (8/5): Staff feel like family... Very welcoming - The location was conveniently loaded close to the areas that we wanted to access. Plus the staff were lovely and the layout of the premises was good in my opinion.
Clean and tidy with good maintained AC.
I would happily return to this establishment in future.
- Cretanmama (10/5): Beautiful little place - We staying here for a month, and so far we love this place, the people and service.
It’s on the Main Street of Malia close to everything but ones in the premises you forget the noise and relax by the beautiful pool and the garden full of beautiful flowers.
It’s a family owned place, very caring and always smiling.
The rooms are kept very clean and factional.
We have not eaten a lot here but the times we did it was very tasty, plus they have the best ice cream here 😋😋😋
Trust me you will not be disappointed if you choose Theonis.
- Pascal (8/5): - Bien situé. Propre. Personnel trés aimable.
Douche étroite. Plaque de cuisson non fonctionnelle.
- E8557JJkk (8/5): Nice Family Run Apartments - We stayed here during the last two weeks in July 2019. This place had everything we needed at a reasonable price.
We were fed in the morning (good continental breakfast, sorry no full English or fry up) but it was finely adequate to start your day off.
Again at night we were fed with a home made meal, Fish & Chips or rice or chicken souvlaki, Salad & rice. The drinks are extra and you are not to bring your own drinks or water but you will always get a complimentary drink called raki (A strong local spirit drink, which we loved :)
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Aria condizionata non compresa nel prezzo della camera
- AlMac1999 (8/5): Good value - Me and 2 mates booked this for our lads holiday. When we got to the apartments, we realised it was more of a family friendly place, so we had to keep the noise to a minimum. Initially, we were greeted by an angry man who rudely told us "No noise and no funny business or you're out immediately!". He wasn't polite. However, the rest of the staff (all family I believe) were very friendly and welcoming. The pool was very clean which we all agreed was a great positive. The food was ok, but nothing special. Still nice though. The rooms were basic but did the job... however you had to pay 7 Euro a night for aircon. We decided that we'll just cook ourselves as we deemed that price very dear. Overall, it's a great place to stay if you are coming with family. Even though it is situated right by the strip, I would avoid booking here for a lads holiday as you face hidden restrictions such as noise levels etc. Saying that, if you are coming as a family, it is tucked away far enough from the strip so that there is no noise.
- 204waynee (8/5): Good Value - Visited in April 2018, rooms were basic but clean. Lovely pool that was very clean. Away from the strip so very peaceful but then again it was out of season. Had a couple of meals here that were very nice and reasonably priced. The owners were very friendly and helpful kept bringing us free shots of homemade raki whilst we were by the pool . Nice little bar that served local and branded drinks, again reasonably priced. Lots of eateries and bars close buy. Recommend Pothamos beach which is a short taxi ride away. All in all a great holiday for what we paid. Will be going back soon !
