Guest Reviews

• Marie Ange (10/5): - Vraiment tout séjour super agreable Rien
• Jessica (7/5): -
• Olha (10/5): - Близко к морю, рядом автобусная остановка и бюджетно.
• Emanuele (10/5): Fantastico posto magico e suggestivo, atmosfera unica! - Eccezionale, fantastico, letti comodissimi, pulizia ottima, qualità nel servizio, gestore disponibile e simpatico.
• Sonya (5/5): - I asked about blanket to not be cold at night- 5 € Rooms with old beds and no roof But for this price ok
• Michal (10/5): super - Bardzo podobało mi się przyjęcie przez właściciela hostelu.Przez cały pobyt czułem się zaopiekowany niczym u rodziny.Ponieważ hostel leży w Kisamos jest świetną bazą wypadową na wszystkie trzy bodajze najpiękniejsze plaże na Krecie.Z całego serca polecam Nie podobało mi się brak klimatyzacji i komary.Przydały by się moskitiery.
• Gaia (10/5): - Tutto ottimo e proprietario gentile e pronto a darti ogni informazione. Ci tornerò grazie
• Peter (8/5): - Yes.the owner is a great person Mosquitos
• Britta (2/5): - Es war schmutzig und laut. Die Fotos sind ein Fake. Es gibt keinen Pool.
• Paolo (4/5): -
• Jimena (1/5): Don't go. It's unsafe. - Nothing Since before arriving, I received a message saying that I needed to check in before 10am or after 11pm. The doors don't have locks, not even the front door or the showers. It is absolutely dirty, everywhere. There's no air conditioning, you can't turn on or off the lights of your own room. The owner controls the lights from outside. When taking a shower I took turns with my roomate to take care of our "doors". There was a creepy guy who followed me to the showers. I've been to hostels of 10 euros and they were waaay better! Do yourself a favour and don't go. I read the reviews before but I thought it can be that hard, I only need to sleep to keep going on my trip. It was worst that I expected!
• Daniele (8/5): -
• Julie (4/5): Tres décevant - Le personnel est très sympathique et la chambre dispose de la climatisation. En arrivant dans la chambre, tout était sale : les draps, les meubles, etc. Les parties communes, comme la cuisine et la salle de bain, étaient très sales également. Le problème, c’est qu’il y a une station-service juste à côté de l’établissement, ce qui faisait régulièrement sentir l’odeur d’essence.
• Vincenzo Fossanova (4/5): -
• Alessia (4/5): - La cordialità del proprietario. Tutto
• Nathalie (1/5): Pessimo soggiorno. - Il letto era abbastanza comomodo Nessuna chiave per chiudere le porte. Bagni sporchi. Lenzuola sporche. Foto non realistiche
• ANNA (3/5): Qualità / prezzo coerente: bassa - Abbiamo alloggiato qui nonostante i commenti negativi perché prenotando all’ultimo era l’unica stanza disponibile a nord di Creta in zona kissamos. Molto Bello il terrazzo delle camere private del piano superiore. Posizione centrale. Struttura non curata, ma soprattuto Descrizione di quello che abbiamo prenotato non era fedele: non era un monolocale ma bensì una stanza, non aveva un bagno privato, “è privato perché quanto ci vai tu ci sei solo tu”, ma un bagno comune per le stanze doppie del piano superiore. Il prezzo cambiava per il monolocale rispetto alla stanza pur non essendolo. Inoltre L’host ci ha dato la possibilità di fare il check-in solo prima delle 18.30 o dopo le 23.
• ΔΗΜΟΣ (7/5): -
• Mathias (1/5): - Non è un ostello, ma un negozio allestito come tale. Fino a mezzanotte non è possibile dormire: fa caldo, ci sono persone che parlano e non c’è tranquillità. Al mio risveglio mi sono ritrovato in stanza un senzatetto. Parlando con il proprietario si è contraddetto più volte. Ho soggiornato soltanto una notte, perché non avevo altre opzioni.
• Zoe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Josephine (9/5): It was good because it was a budget hostel so it’s affordable. Host is very helpful - The owner is very helpful and kind The rooms are quite hot
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
• Krzysztof (10/5): Friendly place for bikers - Great place with helpfull staff
• Peter (3/5): Deep clean and improvements needed - The manager kindly waited for my late arrival from the ferry at 2am to check in. The hostel is centrally located so close to shops/bakery WiFi works . Sadly most of the other reviews here are correct. This hostel really needs a deep clean and a number of improvements. The bedsheet, blanket and pillow in my dorm room were clearly not clean. I slept very little due to the many mosquitoes in here. The walls of the dorm room don't even connect to the ceiling, which is probably why all the mosquitoes are able to enter. The dorm room also had no light! (the switch to the nearest light is somewhere at the reception next door I think) The communal bathrooms were also far from clean. Yes there was hot water for a shower in a tiny shower unit, but the whole area just needs to be cleaned up. For €24 this is not value for money at all. I paid less than this to stay in a clean apartment, so I can't even say you get what you pay for. I had considered before arriving to stay a second night, but as I barely slept because of the mosquitoes I checked out.
• Janic (7/5): Hostel with simple accommodation, but good vibes of true backpacker culture. -
• Daniel (3/5): Poor - Location It is not well maintained. Not very clean. Good for people with low demands.
• Terry (6/5): Pleasant - Good that close to everything The Host was friendly and helpful The beds and noise and lights from the street-curtains should be thicker or dark out
• Ellen (5/5): Passable - Nice host, good info about the E4 Price-quality is as expected.
• Daskalakis (1/5): Bad - Terrible experience. The room seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in months. There was an olive pit on the nightstand. The floor had breadcrumbs. The bathroom smelled bad. The window was very dirty. The bed hadn't even been made. It was dangerously filthy; we didn't even check the closets or other areas of the room out of fear of seeing a cockroach. Awful experience, stay away.
• George (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sandrine (1/5): Bad - This establishment should not even be on the list. There is nothing to like. This deserves a zero The host does not take care of the place and there is no security or safety, the hostel is a store front with a bar and the dorm room is just thin walls built to make a room in the store and there is no ceiling and no key to lock door and no light switch in the room. You have to go by front door of the store to turn off the light. Furthermore the owner was unfriendly and very weird and was expecting me to check out two hours earlier than is posted on the webpage and got angry because I woke up late and was taking my time to check out at 11am I never give a bad review but this place is terrible
• Stella (7/5): Good type of crazy - He was really helpful and also funny guy. Really a good spot for back packers if you don't want to spend on hotels. There are lockers etc. Only thing, don't expect a promissed turbo plate "because you're special" LOL but it is abso a good fun spot for low cost. I recommend.... ;)
• Pela (5/5): Passable - It was an experience. The hostel did not match with the pictures ! It was very expensive for hostel!
• Yair (1/5): Bad - It's not private room Shared bathroom Smells of mold
• Wells (6/5): Pleasant -
• Labastie (10/5): Great Host and great place - Our stay in Stylianos.was great, Styliano is a great Host, he welcoming us with lemoncello and his wonderful energy Everything was good
• Spasena (6/5): Pleasant - The host is really friendly Check in is possibel last minute and also very late it's really weird that theres only one lightswitch for all the rooms. They are all connected since the walls dont go all the way up. Also little weird that the host has the control over the switch. It wasn't clean ://
• Kawe (7/5): Good - Location, I didn't have to Search much, as the Mr. Stylianos just waving me from the Hostel entrance Plus two welcome drink, which was very refreshing. a bit loud from the outside traffic a kitchen would be a good thing to set up.
• Martin (4/5): Disappointing - Friendly host, rooftop view No clean sheets, just a well used duvet with no cover
• Bernadette (10/5): Exceptional - Great staff! Extremely forthcoming and friendly!
• Filipa (6/5): Pleasant -
• Jan (7/5): Great stay for a few days - - Best host ever! Stylianos is very friendly, helpful, open-minded and overall a go-to guy for everything you might need - Working WiFi and also free lockers in the hostel, in front of which you have also ATM - Great location of the hostel! On the main city street, opposite of a bus station and newsstand and very near food markets - Perfect starting point for your trips to beaches Balos (15 km away by car), Falassarna (15 km) and Elafonissi (41 km) - Uncomfortable mattress and pillow - Worn down showers with damaged/dripping showerheads - The whole place needs a little more daily cleaning and bathroom area should be renovated
• Dave946 (2/5): Very poor - No walls Mosquitos and insects everywhere, i didnt sleep because they kept coming all night, i preffered t have slept outside on the street or beach
• Anjan (1/5): It's the dirtiest and worst hostel of the world run by a dishonest owner (stylianos). Avoid it. - This is not a hostel it's a sheep farm. It's the dirtiest hostel of the world, no cleaning, rooms full of mosquitoes, no Air-con, no fans, dodgy owner. Avoid avoid avoid. This was the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. I stayed over 50 hostels in Europe and outside and this was the worst one by far. There's no cleaning staff in this hostel, only the owner (Stylianos) maintains it and he is busy running a restaurant called (Aretousa). So no-one cleans the rooms, toilets and common areas. The rooms are full of mosquitoes. No Air-con, no fans. We checked in late evening and couldn't sleep in whole night. It smells like a sheep farm, it's so dirty and smelly we were feeling sick, so left early. Of course no money back. The owner is a scammer. Fake pictures fake description of the hostel. He talks too much and lies all the way. He's the most dodgy man I ever met in my life. Do not go there guys, the hostel and the owner will ruin your holiday. Sorry for the long review as we don't want others to suffer there. Thank you.
• Olaya (1/5): AVOID! Dirty, smelly, locked at night, trying to take as much money from you as possible - AVOID! Nothing is okei on this place! I have been in hundreds of hostels and this is my firsts bad review as I am normally quite understandable but this one… really AVOID Owner is just about lies and stories to make you spend money there ( like another places are closed which are not, other things are busy so you have to blablabla which is not true , and on and on and on ) literally, everything that you heard there do not believe it as later you always realise that it was not true , at least in our case. You feel like he wants you there just to take as much money as he can from you. If you want to check out and leave the bagsbat the hostel for a couple of hours before you take a bus or whatever.. each bag is 10 euros ! Each bag! For a couple of hours of luggage storage after sleeping there! walls are not until the top, like open at the top.. which means that you hear everyone else in their other rooms but also in the toilet! Hear and smell and it is like you are in the same room…. Dirty! Everything is completely dirty but everything, entrance, rooms, toilets, showers. Like they have not been cleaned in months. No common areas in the hostel The most incredible thing is … outside door is shut during the night. Which means that you are there with no option of leaving the hostel ( no option, even if something happened during the night. As door is locked and nobody is there ) this is not even normal and it should not be legal. Really AVOID! REGARDING HIS REPLY TO THIS: at the time we were FOUR people on the whole hostel one travelling with me ( and also thinking the same) other two going for dinner and drinks and walks with us ( and also hating the place and the service and being there) As I said, everything there is about LIES I have never in the past put a bad review to a place, ( I have travelled in tons of hostels around the world) but I never saw anything like this. If you go there just be aware that anything that they tell you is just not true (probably not true)
• Aurimas (9/5): Superb -
• Johann (4/5): Disappointing - The employee is a good "fairy tale teller" ... he makes an elephant out of every mosquito instead of being of service! No hygiene!
• Magda (5/5): Passable - +The bed was comfortable and duvet was clean +It is a good location, if you are planning to go to the Balos -Bathroom needs renewal. Showers is not working property -You can hear every noise from out of the room and it was not quiet
• Konstantinos (8/5): The host, Stylianos, was most helpful, polite and hospitable. -
• Du (1/5): Bad - Nothing No air conditioner. U can't really sleep because of all the noises
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Anonymous (7/5): Good place to stay before your trips to Balos, Phalasarna and Elafonisi. The owner is very friendly and available. He wi -
• Dimitrios (10/5): Exceptional - I really liked the friendly atmosphere of the place and the that the staff gave you. There were banks and supermarkets nearby, the location was exceptional with an awesome view of the sea!
• David (5/5): Passable -
• Carem (5/5): Passable -
• Aymane (6/5): Pleasant - The manager was nice. The time of arrival are not like in booking. So it’s better to check with the manager before/after the reservation.
• Pamela (4/5): Qualche dettaglio mancante - Abbiamo prenotato un appartamento presso questo ostello (monolocale con un bagno + una piccola cucina). Quando siamo arrivati abbiamo visto l'appartamento che effettivamente era molto grande e ben tenuto con anche un'enorme terrazza. L'unico dettaglio, direi non poco rilevante, era che sul nostro monolocale potevano accedere 2 ulteriori stanze...in pratica gli ospiti di queste due stanze per andare in bagno, cucina e anche per uscire dall'appartamento avrebbero dovuto passare dalla nostra camera (assurdo!). Il gestore ci ha detto che dopo la prima notte ci saremmo spostati in una delle due stanze, anche queste vendute come stanze con bagno privato, oppure che avremmo potuto passare l'intero soggiorno in un'enorme cantina con un minuscolo e mal tenuto bagno privato. Abbiamo deciso di rimanere nella stanza con bagno condiviso, nonostante non avessimo prenotato questa, e fortunatamente nella stanza principale non è arrivato nessun altro ospite. La reception aperta 24 h su 24 consiste in un collegamento via skype disturbato con il tizio che inizialmente ci ha accolto e una simpatica e disponibile vecchietta che non parla molto inglese sempre presente.
