Kri-Kri Village Holiday Apts by Estia

The hotel is a little oasis right next to the beach and very close to restaurants and bars in a small quiet village. It is a very good place to relax and slow down and a good starting point for many activities (hiking, quad tour, boat tour, city tour, ...). The city of Heraklion can be reached by public bus every 20 minutes (for about €1.50). The bus stop is about 400m from the hotel. The service was first class and universal and we grew very fond of the warmhearted owner. So we decided to come right back after only a few months.

Three of us arrived at 3.30 in the morning. After waiting an hour a woman turned up and showed us to a 2bed apt. Upon opening the door we were greeted with the most unpleasant smell on one of the beds it was covered in cat faeces as well as pee! She wanted to just change the shhets we insisted on another room. That turned out to be filty!! It stunk of dirt and must. The bedding was threadbare big cracks in the wall where the bugs popped out unless you left a light on. Ripped curtains broken towel rails and the shower was that small we wasn't sure if we was on the toilet or in the shower!! No air conditioning just two filty fans that blew more muck and dust. The temperature at the time was 38degrees. It was impossible to sleep. We were told only air conditioning in one bed apartments. The pool had a dark brown scum line round it the sunbeds and tables all broken and there wasn't enough for customers. The boss even took them off people if they was in the pool! The cafe part was just as bad bare wires and filty. The rules was you emptied your own toilet bin a d clean sheets once a week. A do it yourself holiday. I've stayed at basic before but never did I expect to pay for as much muck and filty. After 2 days of trying to get a rep or easyjet we gave up and found another apartment for the rest of our holidays. DON'T GO HERE. YOU CAN PAY LESS FOR BETTER.

Booked wrong location by mistake but how pleasant! clean and nice pool and staff Great value for money 15 minutes walk from bus stop to Malia and Heraklion..€3 to Malia takes 20 minutes would definitely book again Best feature...owners alsatians ! 😉
