Homestays in Kissamos

Everything :) Ioannis is an excellent host, always available since the beginning with flexible check-in, good conversations regarding Crete and places to see or services available. The hotel and room has a beautiful view to the sea and mountains. The room was very comfortable and clean. The hotel neighbour is very calm with very lovely cats and also good restaurants to visit. It’s also near from all best beaches in Crete. In conclusion, if I come again to Crete I want to visit again Ioannis hotel and I will recommend to everyone.

It is a high standard property in a quite location, close to all services and Kissamos town. The owners are extremely nice and welcoming.

The staff was extremely kind és compliant. Their hospitality was awesome. ( The landlady welcame us with homemade cake. :) ) The shuttle sevice from and back to the airport was safe, precise and enjoyable. Cleanliness was impeccable. We were properly guided and informed over any matter concerned our stay and entertainment 24/7. Our deepest appreciation for this wonderful experience.

Perfect location and accommodation!

After reading a few reviews with personal comments about the staff, I would like to share a different perspective. This is a simple, family-run seaside place in Falasarna — you literally cannot stay closer to the beach. There is a covered parking area right by the door and three tavernas nearby (in early October they were still open; one of them, Gilisma, stayed open the longest, and in the evenings we were often the only guests). The food at En Plo and Gilisma tavernas was very good and reasonably priced. We had two rooms: comfortable beds, working air conditioning and fridge, and a TV — you just need to plug it in 😉. Very clean bed linen and fresh, fragrant towels. The rooms have blinds and shutters, so the morning sun is not a problem. We mostly spoke English, but our basic Greek phrases, learned from many trips to this country, also helped. We were always met with kindness and a smile. The owner was waiting for us at the property to welcome us, and before arrival, the manager confirmed our arrival time and bedding preferences (we were provided with extra blankets and pillows). The owner kindly allowed us to leave our luggage in a locked area on the day of departure and made sure we felt comfortable. Communication with the manager, Elpiniki, through Booking.com messages was always quick and helpful. We stayed in room no. 3 — on the first floor with a beautiful sea view — and room no. 4 overlooking the surroundings. In both rooms, the mattresses were firm and very comfortable, exactly the way we prefer. In early October there was no noise at all, but we always choose the beginning or end of the season for our holidays to enjoy peace and quiet, away from loud music and crowds. For this price, the quality is honestly balanced. If someone expects luxury finishes — the photos clearly show that this is not that kind of place. But if you are looking for the sea, sunsets, and genuine kindness — it’s perfect. Thank you. Σας ευχαριστούμε για όλα. Paweł with family.

Perfect place for vacation! Nice atmosphere and amazing host! Highly recommended!

A very enjoyable stay, just wished I could have stayed longer. Friendly and helpful owners. Tasteful decor in old Cretan style. Clean, peaceful garden setting, comfortable bed. Eleas Thea just up the road is the perfect place to eat.

We particularly like this type of accommodation. Athena was very nice. We talked a lot and he recommended shops, restaurants and programs. He was always smiling. The room is clean and tidy, the garden is wonderful. Eating breakfast in the summer kitchen was a perfect start to the day.

We loved everything!! The house was clean with fresh flowers waiting for us. Beautiful view with a cozy and quiet balcony. With a short walk is possible to get to the Monastery. The owners are gems! We went there every day for breakfast and dinner and the food was just spot on! Gonna miss this place! Absolutely recommended

Owned by a truly lovely and welcoming family. They shared great tips with us, and we enjoyed chatting with them in the evenings. I highly recommend this place not only because of the wonderful family but also for its beautiful location. It’s close to the monastery and to a small bay called Voulolimni, and another hidden gem the natural pool, which is still untouched by tourists – it’s incredibly beautiful, especially at sunset, and just a short walk away. It’s also very close to Elafonisi; I recommend going there early in the morning around 6 or 7 am to really enjoy the beach before it gets crowded and burning hot.
