"We had a lovely stay at Fata Morgana Studios and Apartments. The apartment was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere – truly perfect for a relaxing holiday. It’s important to note that having a car is essential, as the property is a bit remote and there are no shops or services within walking distance. The nearby beach is absolutely breathtaking – crystal-clear water and unspoiled natural beauty. However, it has no facilities, so be prepared: there are no sunbeds, umbrellas, toilets, or restaurants. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway and don’t mind being a little off the beaten path, this place is a hidden gem. We truly enjoyed our stay!"

"Excellent hotel with fabulous customer service. Ferry was late, very few taxis on Easter, driving an hour and a half in the dark on winding roads on a very long day by myself. I was due to arrive late and I called to tell them that. They did not have my reservation. They worked with me to get a room after hours. Rooms are renovated, cute balcony, ocean side, very peaceful in this cute town. Would absolutely stay again."

"Perfect location in this corner of heaven. From check in to check out the service was amazing. The room was lovely, comfy bed, kitchen and awesome shower. Don’t use the hot tub but with a beach on the doorstep why would you!"

"We had a wonderful stay in hotel sfakian horizon. Breakfasts were excellent, rooms exceptionally clean and modern with walk in shower and very friendly staff. We thought it was an idillic spot but guests would need to manage hills and steps. We enjoyed all the local walks and gorges for walking, easily accessed by water taxis or local buses. The local bars and restaurants were 5 mins away and also a bakery, pharmacy and harbour. Would definitely recommend if you prefer an authentic experience that hasn't lost its greek charm and hospitality."

"At night we were bitten by bedbugs in bed, and there were many cockroaches running around the floor. In the restaurant we found a cockroach in a plate and choked on a hair. The hotel and restaurant are in terrible unsanitary conditions. We were very afraid that we would catch a disease that these insects carry. The hotel and restaurant require complete sanitization. Get rid of them!"

"We absolutely loved our three night stay here, even though the weather wasn’t kind to us. Our twin bedded room (#7), on the second floor, was really large with a lovely balcony looking straight across at the mountains as they spectacularly tumble down to the water’s edge below. The beds were comfortable and the ensuite, whilst not swish, was fine with plenty of hot water and the usual complimentary toiletries, as well as some unexpected extras including a dental kit and shaving kit. Breakfast was a simple and unhurried affair - actually, I think everything about Crete and its people is wonderfully unhurried! - sitting alongside the crystal clear water and enjoying freshly prepared orange juice, gorgeous Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit and a selection of pastries, bread and jams. Eggs were also available on request. The quality of the breakfast was excellent. Service was very good, although we were surprised to find that our bedding was changed after two nights (we were only staying for one more night). Bizarrely, though, only the bottom sheet had been changed and the top sheet and throw had been left on the bed, folded up, for us to re-make! We weren't sure if this was the norm or whether it was an oversight by housekeeping; it made us smile, though! We found the staff to be so helpful and friendly, with special mention to Ioanna who insisted on carrying our suitcases down the jetty when we were preparing to leave and catch the ferry (the ferries pull in directly across from the hotel, as well). Pavlos (not sure if I have remembered his name correctly) is quite a character and interesting to talk to, even if he does have to compete with his vocal sidekick, Coco the parrot! We had a fabulous stay here and Loutro really is a very special place although, apart from hiking in the mountains, swimming in the water or taking a boat somewhere, there’s little to do other than relax which is exactly what we did. A stay in Loutro, even in the rain (!!) really does offer the perfect antidote to stressful living and the Daskalogiannis Hotel is the perfect place to stay."

"Loved staying here for 9 nights. Room is spacious and clean, bed comfortable, plenty of storage. Privacy good. Breakfast and pool bar is open all the time and very helpful, nice food. Location is good for Frangokastello, walking to restaurants and bars. Good parking and it feels like a very safe place, it has a nice vibe. The owner and family are very helpful in all respects (provided a kettle when asked). The pool is lovely with plenty of shade, also clean. Can't wait to stay again."

"The hôtel is horrible, the rooms are dirty and unconfortable, the ladies at réception were smoking near my window although I told them that I have a health problem they ignored me and they were very rude to me, horrible expérience I advice not to go to this place"
