    No heat on in common kitchen and lounge, cold as a tomb!;

    Quiet location; personable helpful host; full access to common kitchen, but room had electric kettle and instant coffee, parking on site; great value in off season; great water views; 20 minutes drive to Chania or airport

    Extremely nice, welcoming and helpful host, a clean room with everything one needs to be ready to explore Chania and the surrounding area. A bit far off and one really needs a car to come around but a car is needed to explore Crete fully anyways.

    The location is nice if you have a car or a motorcycle. Otherwise logistics will be really difficult. The closest normal supermarket is 45 min walk. And buses schedule is really inefficient. Also there are dogs in the area, makes it more complicated to get home on foot at night

    Amazing host, lovely secluded neighbourhood, comfortable apartment. Our room had 2 balconies: you can meet sunrise at one and sunset at another. We were welcomed warmly and the host was ready to help with all needed information

    Landlord was very welcoming and available. Both my puppy and myself felt safe there. The property is in a quiet location but close to a popular kafe just 2 mins walk down the road. It is also a few minutes walk away from 2 lovely beaches ; Kalami beach and kyani beach that leads you to the popular Kalyves where there are lots of tavernas. We will definitely return!

    The wifi is slow, but if not trying to work remote, it is fine for emailing and whatnot.

    We were welcomed like family -- with raki and fresh watermelon, in the traditional Cretan way -- and felt like family the entire time. The homestay is also animal-friendly and our host had the cutest two dogs and one magical kitty. The location itself is excellent -- staggering views across Souda Bay and relatively close to many other beaches, sites, and local restaurants (though you will need a car, of course). Honestly one of the best places we've stayed in.

    Fantastic location about 20mins from chania. Host was very helpful and provided us with fruit and water. The room was spacious spotlessly clean and shower room was more than adequate. Will definitely stay there again only sorry we only stayed one night. Nice taverna about 100m away.Well recommended.

    Excellent location - fantastic view over Souda bay. West facing room, so got great sunset views. Nektarios could not have been more welcoming - cold drinks and fruit on arrival. Also chatty and helpful with any questions you have Extra large room, so had plenty of space. Note for pet lovers - Nektarios has two adorable rescue dogs that just want to be made a fuss of 🙂

    When I booked this, I thought that the village of Kalives is nearby. But it is unfortunately quite a distance and there is no life in the village of Kalami. One Kafenion that serves drinks and one restaurant that is already closed for the winter. There are 2 hotels with restaurants in walking distance, but I love my traditional Taverna for food when I visit Greece. One thing that really irritated me and I found it quite disturbing was that there was a very strong unpleasant smell but I couldn't make out what was the cause of it. I asked Nektarios if the walls were treated with anti mould recently but he said they weren't and the smell may be from the bleach used for cleaning. To me bleach from cleaning doesn't have such a strong, stinging smell, though.

    Nektarios is a fantastic host, he makes sure you feel welcome. I was welcomed with home-made lemonade and delicious fresh fruits and I received lots of help and support from him during my unfortunately very short stay. The room was very nice, spacious and the balcony had lovely seaview.

    Clean, spacious room with coffee / tea making facilities. Hospitality of the owner, he served home-made lemonade and fresh fruit upon my arrival at the accommodation. It is also very close to the airport making it an excellent place to stay for early morning departures or late arrivals into Chania airport. Overall excellent value for money.

    Best location and room we got during our trip throught west Crete (standard-vise, location-vise, equipment-vise :) ). Big thanks to the owner for hospitality, it was so great to meet you. We got a room with sea-view, so I believe the attached picture will says everything.
