- THOMAIS (7/5): - Το προσωπικο είναι εξαιρετικό!!!!
- Ioannis (10/5): -

- Andreas (8/5): Insgesamt ist dieses Hotel für einige Tage durchaus zu empfehlen. Lage und Freundlichkeit des Personals gleichen die ger - Die Lage war sehr gut. Nur 150 m vom langen Strand entfernt und auch in die Hauptstadt Heraklion war es mit dem Bus nur 25 Minuten. Das Hotel verfügt über einen grossen Pool in dem man wirklich schwimmen kann. Auch eine Poolbar mit Snacks und kalten Getränken zu moderaten Preisen ist vorhanden. Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend. Die Frühstücksterrasse war sehr gemütlich. Leider war das Zimmer ziemlich dunkel, was wohl an den nicht verputzten Wänden lag. Wir hatten ein schmales (80cm) und ein etwas breiteres Bett (140cm), was etwas unbequem war. Während des Duschens lief das Wasser schlecht ab, was immer für „Überschwemmung“ im Bad sorgte.
- Djordje (10/5): - Staff was very nice 24/7 you can ask anything you will always get answer 10/10, rooms are super clean and very good.
- Jamie (10/5): - Breakfast and pool
- Johann (9/5): Merci bcp pour le personnel très accueillant. Bravo ! -

- SONJA (8/5): Nettes kleines Hotel mit tollem Pool - Toller großer Pool, sehr freundliches Personal und sehr zentral gelegen an einer Straße mit vielen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants. Nähe zum Strand war auch toll, dort gibt es Beach Clubs in denen man nicht für die Liegen bezahlen muss, sondern im Club etwas konsumieren muss. Das fand ich toll.Das Frühstück war auch in Ordnung.
Das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis war super, und ich würde es wieder buchen wenn ich in der Nachsaison komme. Etwas störend war der Straßenlärm Nachts, aber wir hatten Glück ein Zimmer mit Aussicht in den Garten zu haben.
Die Klimaanlage ist auch etwas laut.

- Alessandro (9/5): - Staff accogliente e pronto ad aiutarti
- Jasmin (10/5): Entspannung pur - Gorgona ist ein kleines Hotel, das mit der Freundlichkeit und Herzlichkeit der Mitarbeiter besticht. Es gibt 24Std einen -immer- hilfsbereiten Mitarbeiter:in, alle sind immer freundlich und jeder sorgt dafür, dass es einem gut geht - man entspannen und abschalten kann. Sehr gute Anbindung an die Innenstadt Heraklion, Kulturstätten, Strand, ein sehr sauberer Pool. Tolle Poolbar. Ich lieb's. ÷
- corneliu ioan (8/5): Affordable and a good offer - Clean, very good and amiable staff, a good WiFi,the breakfast included, good location Need a modernization, problems with mosquitoes
- antoine (10/5): - Un accueil très chaleureux et une disponibilité de tous pour rendre notre séjour agréable. Très bonne ambiance générale au cœur de l'établissement grâce à la gentillesse des responsables. C'est parfait continuer comme ça
- Enes (2/5): - The photos are not the same as the real.
- OMAR (8/5): תמורה טובה ביחס לעלות. - צוות מצוין שתמיד עם חיוך ונכונות לעזור ולתת מענה לכל פניה. ארוחת בוקר טובה
- Cuono79 (9/5): -
- Willy (8/5): Pratique et agréable - Amabilité du personnel et emplacement de l’hôtel à proximité de tout
- Valentin (2/5): Не бихме отседнали отново тук. - Сравнително добра Ужасен интериор, малка стая, захабени хавлиени кърпи и спално бельо, твърди и продънени матраци, пожълтели възглавници.
- Mihails (8/5): -
- Monika (7/5): -
- Adrian (10/5): Excelent! - Micul dejun foarte consistent, curatenie zilnica in camera, personalul foarte atent, m-a ajutat de cate ori am avut nevoie cu informatii sau servicii (taxi). Ospitalitate excelenta, locatie linistita, apropiat fata de plaja sau taverne. Situat in apropiere de Herakleion, o vizita cu autobuzul este usor de facut, ieftin si un mod placut de a petrece o zi sau o seara. Din localitate exista autobuze care ajung si la situl turistic Knossos, un alt loc minunat de vizitat.
- giovanni (8/5): Hotel accogliente con posizione ideale - Posizione ideale, parcheggio gratis, staff gentile e molto disponibile Doccia senza cabina
- François (8/5): -
- Coline (8/5): Agréable calme - L’accueil Petit déjeuner pourrait être davantage varié et les équipements commencent à être ancien
- Baghinyan (9/5): - Очень дружелюбный персонал, всегда были готовы помочь. Очень чистый бассейн. Пляж близко, автобусная станция рядом, много супермаркетов, ресторанов и кофеи. Завтрак вкусный, но вообще не менялась за 10 дней, одно и тот-же...🙁
- Paula Florina (10/5): - Este un loc primitor cu camere curate, spațioase și foarte cozy, perfecte pentru familie sau grup de prieteni. Personalul este foarte amabil, primitor și te face să te simți ca acasă. Micul dejun este sățios și sincer nu puteam cere mai mult. Piscina este curată, iar barul de lângă oferă o gamă largă de produse, plus muzica îți dă un vibe de nostalgie. Sejurul a fost excelent și recomand cu mare drag hotelul. Este aproape de plajă și ai multe restaurante (Dionysos, Uncle George și Maxim) în zonă cu mâncare excelent de bună.
- Yelyzaveta (10/5): -
- Cecilia (7/5): - I love the service of the staff, I like the room and comfortilbe, pool area very good I dident like the breakfast, no juice, no coffie lattle, one bed was no good
- Arpad (7/5): - Location, staff. Ants in the room. Noisy because the room door doesn't shut well. The balcony door cannot be shut (only the blinds door). The refrigerator was extremely noisy.
- Dorina (3/5): - La struttura è vicino al mare Il prezzo troppo alto la struttura non merita
- István Rudolf (10/5): - Minden tökéletes volt. A személyzet összes tagja professzionálisan látja el a feladatát. Bármilyen probléma vagy kérés merült fel Ők haladéktalanul és nagyon kedvesen intézkedtek. Ezúton is köszönöm Nekik. Mindenkinek csak ajánlani tudom a szállást. Üdvözlettel. I.

- sigalit (10/5): - Near the beach, the staff are so nice and lovely everything is perfect.. nice pool.. 10/10 thank you.. Earthing
- Maksym (10/5): Great value for money, friendly staff, perfect location near the sea, delicious breakfasts, a stunning clean beach with - A truly great hotel in terms of value for money! The staff are incredibly friendly and pleasant, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. As soon as you step outside the hotel, you can already see the sea – it’s just a short walk away. Breakfasts are delicious with a wide variety of options to choose from.
The nearby beach is absolutely stunning – not crowded, very clean, with breathtaking mountain views and crystal-clear turquoise water. The hotel also has a nice swimming pool for relaxing.
If my friends or family asked me where to go for a vacation, I would definitely recommend this hotel. Thank you for an amazing holiday! -
- Sándor (10/5): We are completely satisfied with everything. - Clean and quiet room, very delicious and abundant breakfast, helpful and kind staff, large pool with bar.
Excellent location, close to the sea, many restaurants and bars in the area.
Renting a car allows you to explore the entire island.
Heraklion city center is easily and quickly accessible by bus.
- Raluca (10/5): Wonderful stay with amazing staff and great location - We stayed at Hotel Gorgona for 7 nights and we enjoyed it very much. We absolutely loved the swimming pool and the lush garden, which is truly beautiful. The beach is very close and looks great, with fine sand.
Although the breakfast is the same every day, it’s very tasty.
The best part of our stay was definitely the staff, who are among the friendliest we’ve ever met in a hotel. On the day of our departure, they kindly asked what time our flight was, and since it was very late in the evening, they offered us a room to stay in and let us enjoy the pool for the whole day — incredibly thoughtful!
On top of all that, the price is excellent!
Highly recommend! Nothing
- Bardetta (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect
- Mitrovic (8/5): Very good - Nice swimming pool, nature and vibe around.
Good breakfast, fresh and tasty. AC was too loud we couldn’t sleep with it, room smelled bad, it’s pretty old hotel, it looks like it needs renovation
- Marie (10/5): great experience - everything was very very good. the breakfast, the service are sooo nice. the local people are so friendly there to manage all your wishes.
I will come back to this hotel, when I went to the island. all was good.
- Monika (10/5): A lovely Hotel with good food, great atmosphere and helpful staff - This place is just simply lovely! Breakfasts were very tasty, staff was very helpful and nice and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is also great - close to the beach, and you have a few places to eat nearby. It was quiet too :) I loved the atmosphere of this place and i will definitely recommend it to my friends and family. The staff was always very helpful too - we had to leave early one day and we were given lunch boxes to go (it was still a pity to miss that breakfast because it was really delicious). I think for this price you couldn't find anything better - it's also close to the airport, only like fifteen minutes by car or something like that. It's a great spot to be at if you're planning on travelling by car to other places. All in all, this is a beautiful Hotel with amazing gardens and pool area. If I ever go back to this area I will definitely stay here. The only thing I didn't like was that the pool was closing at 8PM I think. It would be lovely to have that evening swim or a drink by the pool. All the other places I've been to that had a pool had it open until like 10 or 11PM, which was very nice, because you could actually use it after the whole day of sightseeing. This way we didn't get to use it much - and the pool they have and the area around it were really lovely!
- Viktoryia (10/5): Wonderful stay and great value for a money! - We loved Gorgona hotel and highly recommend staying here if you visit Heraklion!
The hotel staff was very kind and willing to go out of their way for us.
The room we booked had garden view and was spotless from the moment we checked in!
The hotel has an amazing pool area, full of green, which is a great place to sit and relax.
We also very much enjoyed the breakfast. It had a variaty of fresh fruits and vegetables alongside fresh pastry!
The hotel location is great with only 150m from the sea and alot of nice restaurants.Free parking also help us to is just at the front making it very convenient.
We will definitely come back next year!
- Egle (7/5): Good -
- Petrou (10/5): Gorgona is an amazing hotel! - After a 10 day trip around Crete for work my last night stay at Gorgona was the break I really needed. One can feel the smell of freshness around the hotel which is really clean. Cleaning is one of my priorities when choosing a hotel even if it is for an overnight. Of course, other than the comfortable rooms and the location the friendly staff is what makes it amazing. All of them were available when needed and willing to assist. That made me feel more than a hotel guest. I would like to thank you all! Everything was perfect!
- Alasdair (8/5): Gorgona Hotel, Ammadoura - Clean room and good pool. Tasty breakfast.
Good location. Helpful staff. Good value. Rooms a little dated and beds not so comfortable but otherwise fine.
- Dimitra (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay at Gorgona Hotel in Amoudara was beyond our expectations! The location, the cosy atmosphere, the staff, everything was perfect. Nikos and Maria were the best, helpful and smiling. And of course, the room was big and clean, and the bed very comfortable. We had a very good night sleep. We spent only one night because we had to catch our flight from Heraklion airport but we will definitely come back for a longer stay in Heraklion and Gorgona Hotel!
- Anastasios (8/5): Very good -
- Dennishindelang (9/5): Superb - Friendly Staff, Breakfast, only short walk to the Beaches and Restaurants/Markets. Good Car parking My Room was very noisy. For 2 Nights its no Problem.
- Jovana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (10/5): The stuff running the hotel was super nice and helpful and friendly and created an atmosphere to make you feel welcome a - It had a huge pool which was not very crowded at all. Sometimes we were the only ones at the pool. Perfect if you want to read. Not a party place. There is a bar where you can order drinks and coffee for a pretty good price .... better than in most Cafes.
The place is close to restaurants close to a bus stop and close to the beach. Easy to walk to. Enough parking spaces belonging to the hotel.
- Panagiotis (10/5): Excellent holidays hotel, centrally located - Very spacious room, spacious and clean bathroom, nice buffet breakfast, large pool and garden, great location There was no drying rack in the balcony for the wet towels and wet swimsuits.

- Vasilisp (10/5): Exceptional - Location is great, close to the beach and easy access to the city. The hotel rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet. The most important aspect is that the staff make you feel like home. I enjoyed my stay and I will definitely go back.

- Verified traveler (4/5): - The reception staff very nice, the pool huge, nice gardens. Good breakfast, but we had to leave for the ferry early. The rooms need updating, no hot water. Beds were comfortable & had warm blankets, as it was cool. For the money ok. We were glad to find this place as hotels were full due to ferry cancelation.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - staff was super nice!!!!!!!!
the two ladies at the reception, who manage the hotel are adorable!!!!!
princess cat is the perfect guardian of the hotel :p
the hotel is clean, pool with music & bar :)
