  Perfect Location with Excellent Facilities and Hospitality

  Authentically Crete!

  Liked: Our room was authentically Greek, it didn't feel like a hotel it felt like a home away from home. Yannis was so helpful and generous. The bed was comfortable and the little apartment had everything we needed. It was also perfectly located in old town and an easy walk to every where we wanted to go.

  Disliked: There is nothing that we didn't like.

  Nice stay, lovely owner but the flies in the bathroom was not a good experience

  Liked: Yannis the owner is very responsive and helpful. My flight was delayed and I arrived very late to the hotel but he made sure to hang around so he could greet me and check me in. During my stay he helped me with getting around locally and advising me on what to do. When it was time to leave he gave me lots of souvenirs and he also kindly paid for my taxi to take me to the bus station when I was leaving to go to chania airport. The bed was very comfy, and there was room service every day with fresh towels and slippers, and lots of water bottles. The owner will go above and beyond.

  Disliked: There were flies in the bathroom and the kitchen area which were clearly coming from the drains. There were also some dead flies on the bathroom floor. I did mention this to Yannis and he ended up giving me fly spray to spray, but unfortunately they still kept on coming. I don’t know if it was this particular room that there were flies in. This did really put me off using the bathroom as every time I would go in the shower they would be in the shower cubicle and on the walls in the bathroom. It was a fly battle every day with me arming my self every day with a fly spray!!!! I can’t respond to the owners message below so instead I will respond here. The scores aren’t a mistake. I originally gave a 6 and I was forced to give a 7 after the owner started messaging me on my personal number to increase the score. Tbh I don’t care where the flies were coming from, the bottom line is they were in the bathroom and the shower with me

  Liked: Afroditi was an awesome place to stay! The location was absolutely perfect, and the owner is truly one of a kind. Such a great guy friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring about his guests. He made our stay even more special. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. We would definitely stay here again!

  Liked: Great location and super helpful host (came with me to show me the carparking whic was covered by the accomodation).. Apartment was very well equiped and surprisingly quiet considering the central location. It is a little dated (and brown), but this is part of the charm and makes a nice change from the 'ikea' style of most places

  Disliked: Nothing. Perfect gor a central Rethymo stay at a good price.
