"An absolute gem. The private beach is much nicer than the photos, perfect for snorkelling, the two pools are great and all the amenities kept in great condition. Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff always friendly. It’s probably the best hotel anywhere near this price, fully recommend!"

"Facilities are great, as is the service. The only (minor) downside is location is somewhat outside Chania. Taxi is €15 and is easily booked by the hotel. We would definitely go again."

"Enjoyed my stay at the Cretan dream Resort and spa. Very friendly and helpful staff! We were well catered to. Amazing views, food, room and service! "

"Beautiful house, in a great location. Hosts were especially helpful. "

"A great hotel. Our room was really comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff are all so welcoming, friendly and can’t do enough to help you. Great set up and ideal for a holiday. "

"I loved everything about it. "

"This is a horrible property in a horrible location. Do not believe the VRBO photos or the property description. The drive to the property is on narrow cliffside roads and is risky at best at night. Acessing the property requires two cliffside 3 point turns on a narrow gravel road. The property photos are decades old and the property is currently dirty and full of junk. No toilet paper! No lockable front door! The owner told us not to worry because of low crime. A cat freely roams the house and there is filth everywhere, such as cigarette butts in the fireplace. The gas stove leaks and the smell is stronger that the cat pee smell of the residence. The upper bedroom has a major hazard low ceiling fan with blades that reach face level for most folks. There are several exposed electrical wires. The bathroom has a sinktop that has rotted with water damage. A rat or mouse ran across our bed at night and vermin holes are in the window screens. The furniture is nasty, old & worn, broken and/or quite dirty. We left after 2 nights of a 20 day stay and could not get any refund of a four figure fee. Steer clear of this rip off!"

"We visited Balito with a family of 7 and had the most wonderful stay. The hotel is small but updated and it is run by a wonderful family who makes you feel at home. The pool area is lovely and the breakfast and coffee is perfect in the morning. The rooms were good for our large family (we had two rooms with 3 beds each) and the area is very walkable. It’s about a 14 min walk to the beach (with my slower children) and a 10 min taxi into Chania. There is also a bus to take you to town and some of the other beaches that stops nearby but we didn’t do it because of elders in our group. There is a taverna around the corner that was amazing. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and will be back again if we return to Crete. "

"A perfectly delightful place to stay. The owners went above and beyond to welcome us! The apartment was thoroughly stocked with everything one might need. It is beautifully decorated, has a luxurious hot tub, lovely view, comfortable beds, quiet and has the most helpful and friendly hosts. Communications were prompt and full of helpful information. Location and parking were a big plus. We would highly recommend this to a couple or a family. If we go back to Crete, we will definitely stay here!"
