Great location for sunrise from your room and sunset from Balos beach. Very spacious and clean

Stayed in August 2023

Nothing.

Location, attention to detail with all the facilities, cleanliness, shower, balcony with sea view, breakfast (which was superb…lovely coffee in individual cafetières, fresh orange juice, fresh fruits, eggs (tasty scrambled eggs!), bread and local jams plus yoghurt and cold meats/cheeses if you also want).

The pillows are very hard and tall, not very comfortable which resulted low sleep quality. Would be good to have options. Also, with two big suitcases, climbing up the stairs was a bit tiring. We didn’t really mind though

On the way to Balos, very clean and spacious. Staff very friendly and flexible. Stylish room and modern facility. Facing the sea with great views.

The simplicity of the hotel is what makes it great, but if some guests are looking for extra amenities, these would be missing here.

We stayed 5 nights at Kaliviani Traditional Hotel and visited from here Balos, Elafonisi, Phalasarna, and villages around. The room was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the sunrise if you're brave to wake up before 6h45 in the summer! We know we enjoyed it 🤩 Breakfasts at the hotel were delicious and just what we needed to fuel the start of our days! But the highlight of the hotel is Yianni (the owner, receptionist and cook), we particularly enjoyed his sense of humour and his wisdom on the philosophy of life! We left feeling grateful and satisfied with our stay and would come back again/recommend for those visiting!

We loved our stay at Kaliviani Traditional Hotel, the room was comfortable and clean with sea view, there was a great restaurant nearby and the breakfast that we ate at the hotel was perfectly prepared and delicious. There were beautiful beaches nearby and Ioannis is a great host, he gave us some useful tips. I definitely recommend this place, I wish we come back ;)

Kaliviani Hotel is located in a beautiful, quaint village with an authentic vibe. You won’t find many party goers around there which makes it even more special. Ioannis is a kind and helpful host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at his place and would recommend it to anyone (with access to a car).

Breakfast a little bit expensive

Seaview, room

Stayed in July 2023

It is a good option for a short stay as the room is nice but quite small. Also the bed could be a bit bigger and softer but again for our 3-nights stay it was okay 👍

Nice location close to the Balos and Falassarna beaches Vicinity of good restaurants Surrounded by a beautiful nature Very friendly and helpful host

Nothing to add.

With just five rooms the hotel provides a large private home like environment yet with plenty of privacy. Room balconies offer sweeping views of Gramvoussa Bay and are a few minutes walk from excellent traditional restaurants. Falasarna beach, rated one of the two most beautiful in Crete, is a 20 minute drive away.

Located in the beautiful village of Kaliviani on the road to breathtaking Balos bay. Amazing view! Beach can be reached on foot in 20 to 25 minutes. Several really good restaurants in the village. Perfect location for trips in the South West of the island when you have a car. Also really nice spot fo a hike to Balos bay or Falasarna beach. Ioannis is a perfect host and i really eager to help in case you have some questions. Bed was perfect and place was really calm and quiet during the night. Will definitly come back!

We liked the room, it was big, very clean, with a great view. Staff was really nice, gave us a lot of useful tips about the area. Breakfast was very good as well.

We enjoyed our stay very much so we would merely suggest maybe installing more shelves/ drawers to provide enough storage space and perhaps making the door a bit more soundproof to insulate the noise from the corridor.

The location: Close proximity to Kissamos town, Balos, and Phalasarna beaches. Not that far away from Chania town or Elafonisi beach as well. The room: It was cleaned every day. Spacious room with new/modern furniture and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Beautiful view over the Kissamos Gulf. The staff: Ioannis is a really nice guy. He was always friendly and very helpful. Great breakfast!

Amazing personally run family hotel, very good location

Stayed in July 2022

no covered terrace for breakfast outside we missed a small bar, not served with tally, in the breakfastroom to sit outside and talk with other guests

A good starting point for some days to visit west Crete by car Nice appartment, beautiful bathroom, van and air condition, balcony 3 Restaurants and 2 taverns in less than 5min walk distance Kaliviani beach is really beautiful. Nice stoney beach, perfect water, no one around but also no taverne, dont forget a sun protection The way to the beach is not that beautiful but ok

Stayed in June 2022

you're not allowed to smoke on your own balcony ( no ashtrays)

We really enjoyed our stay in Kaliviani Traditional Hotel. Its located in a cute little village close to the most beautiful beaches. Ioannis was always helpful and answered super fast. Our room was cleaned every day & had a spectacular view. Its also closed to the best tavernas. 0

only at the departure we discovered several pillows we had in the room had different “softness” while they looked similar :/ and we were looking for softer pillows 😆

Modern amenities while preserving traditional look and feel, very comfortable room, great location to discover iconic beaches of the west of Crete - Balos and Elafonisis (must do both), 100m from several great restaurants but far enough for peace and quiet, great host and owner Ioannis, speaks wonderful English and serves the best breakfast! totally worth it!
