Unfortunately I had a horrible experience here. The listing photos don't show how dirty and run down the hotel is. Even during the day it is so dark inside I had to use a torch to be able to find the keyhole and unlock my door. The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything in the other rooms. There was a horrible smell in the bathroom (host said was caused by the wind), the back door didn't lock (but don't worry Crete is a peaceful place and no one will come in) and cigarette smoke kept coming into the room. I tried very hard to fix the issues with the host, Maria. I was patient and polite but had to insist on the door getting fixed and in the end I changed rooms. The new one was even worse. There was no hot water and I wasn't able to shower for 2.5 days. Even 24 hours later Maria hadn't fixed the hot water. I ended up leaving 19 days early and getting a refund. Maybe this place is different in summer but I do not recommend for a low season stay when the host isn't on site.
