Amazing place and amazing atmosphere. Host Maria was very helpful and friendly. It became one of my favorite places in Greece. Definitely worth visiting. I want to return here!

Having to leave it

Maybe there is no paradise but Metochi is close to it! In the middle of the superb and unique island, this place is amazing. View on the sea from everywhere and especially from the taverna which is beautiful. And Maria is the angel of the place: always smiling and you feel like an old friend. And of course, the meals prepared by her mother are a must. I will be back soon!!

The property is great value for money. It is basic but very clean. The location is great and the view lovely and it is very peaceful. The hospitality is superb! The hosts are very friendly and the food is wonderful!!!

The mattress was slightly tougher than I liked ...but obviously this is matter of preference

Maria and her mum are very helpful, kind and friendly. The terrace overlooking the sea, shaded by a couple of trees, is a nice place to have your coffee while watching the sunrise. The Metochi is literally on the bus stop but, because the hotel is located in the centre of the island, it is possible to walk to every beach in about 1 or 2h depending on the beach. The taverna serves good authentic Greek food at reasonable prices.

I think that the beds and some of the plumbing system could use some updates.

The location is beautiful, on a hill, among high fragrant trees, and rooms have nice private outdoor seating areas. The tavern on site was also great, I enjoyed sitting and eating there. But the best feature of Metochi, in my opinion, are its hosts, Maria and the rest of the family are super welcoming, friendly, and generally helpful with figuring out the logistics of getting around the island by foot, bus, or otherwise. Thank you so much for making my Gavdos visit as fabulous as it was.

Everything was excellent!

Maria and her family were excellent hosts. We really enjoyed our stay there and felt like home! We had breakfast and dinner multiple times, and they surprised us with the mouthwatering creations each time.

Nothing! Mmm perhaps get that sticking room door lock replaced! 😂😂

The beauty of Gavdos is its wilderness & beaches and is not commercialised. That’s exactly what we wanted! The stay at Metochi was enjoyable and the only regret is that we didn’t stay long enough! Maria was a fantastic hostess that made the stay a little extra special! She enjoyed learning some British Sign Language albeit not Greek and had some laughs too! She & others made the Metochi what it is: warm, friendly and very welcoming place to stay. You get good facilities offered in the room! Good & tasty food, probably one of the best on the island. The main course changes everyday so you get to try out different meals! Beef was fantastic! Throughly recommend to at least stay & eat there while on the island!

The staff treat us excellently, the picked us up in Gavdos port and transfer is to the hotel which is really close. We rented a scooter there which make us stay in Gavdos unbelievable. Another thing to highlight is the food, EVERYTHING was delicious. Maybe the best place to stay in the island.

If you want to find something trivial: Of course, some rooms could use some renovation, especially the mattresses (in our room) could be renewed. But it's actually beside the point because the entire stay was just perfect.

Anyone who loves original Greece will be very happy here, unfortunately there are not many such wonderful places left. Don't expect luxury, this is Gavdos, a gorgeous island at the southernmost point of Europe. Maria and her incredibly hospitable family take care of their guests from arrival to departure in a way that cannot be taken for granted. The many unforgettable hours in the enchanting and cozy tavern were the best days for us that we have been able to experience on vacation in Greece in the last twenty years. The entire property is made with a lot of love and attention and is a place of rest and relaxation. Eftichia and Stefanos spoil their guests with delicious Cretan cuisine and their daughter Maria, who is always smiling and seems to speak every language in the world, takes care of the well-being of the guests in the tavern from morning to night. There is nothing more to describe this oasis of family hospitality and the island's relaxed atmosphere, it simply has to be experienced. Apart from that, Gavdos is a wonderful island for hiking and has a variety of beautiful beaches with crystal clear sea.

Unfortunately, due to the bad weather, the ferry's schedule changed and we lost two nights but thankfully, we managed to stay an extra night. The food at the restaurant is very good and the staff is very friendly and always smiling.

If you are travelling out of the main season be prepared for no bus running, the only mode of transport, apart from your legs. However we believe the hiring of scooters was about to happen.

Stayed here at the beginning of May. The property is the most central to explore the island. The family were most helpful and catered for our every needs in exploring the island. The property is linked to several trails linking the other villages. At the next village 45 minutes walk you will find the island bakers (Stella's not to be missed). Unfortunately as it was the beginning of the season Maria's mother was away so we missed out on the ice cream, however upon return we will sample it. We met a couple who brought their pedal cycles from Crete, had we had access to pedal cycles it would have made the getting around the island simple.

There is precisely nothing not to like about this place! Absolutely wonderful! The walks from here are magnificent, too!

Metochi is one of the most magical places in Gavdos and Maria is one of the most professional and helpful hosts you can find. The location is beautiful and the bar/tavern makes for a great stay in the isolated atmosphere of Gavdos.

Not enough time off to stay longer ;-)

The place is Amazing! Great location as it's close to each side of the island and easily accessible also by feet. Room is clean, spacious and has all amenities you need to prepare small meals if needed., Unexpected cleaning in a middle of a short stay! :-) The area with rooms and family taverna is fenced out so it is a very safe place for your animal companions or children (has children play area too). The most welcoming and happy owners, smiley and helpful. Cosy place, quiet with a sea view, beach close by, various walks around. The service and selection of food and drink are first class, together with great company of the owners. Highly Reccomended, I will go back soon :-D Thank you Maria and greetings to Mum, Dad, Lucy and Johnny! Filakia Polla 🥰😘😘 Gala, Chris and Grace 🐶🐶

I don't write reviews except in exceptional cases. I found Metochi Gavdos an exceptional good place. Maria was a joyful and helpful host, the rooms felt spacious and the outside area had a great vibe. One of the best price-quality places I have been to.

All was perfect. The location is given, million of photos can be found on booking, everything fits the offer/description

Comfortable stay, good value for money. You have to be aware that you have to do a lot of hiking/walking/trekking in the area or come with the car. There is 500 m of bumpy dirt road before you get to Metochi. Very nice hosts

We had a really great time and felt very welcome and at home. The hosts gave us many tips for exploring the island and the room was cozy. Sitting in the tavern at night or for breakfast was super nice. Would definitely recommend!
