"The breakfast buffet definitely poor for a 5 star hotel, I was expecting fresh juices, only had pork, same 3 fruit options everyday and dry pastries. The beds were the worse, soo low, very uncomfortable and they make noises. The shower was tiny as well argh. And then one receptionist lady (Ioanna) if I remember her name correctly, wanted us to pay extra for parking just because, to qoute her "ooh because 5 euros is such a lot of money that you cannot pay it". Even though the hotel rule is, 1st...

The Olive House - A nest of Nature & Tranquility

"Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig am Dorfrand von Kontomari, inmitten von Olivenhainen. Es liegt etwas am Hang, so dass man, wenn es mal windet immer einen geschützten Platz findet. Auf der Terasse, von der man auch das Meer sieht, kann man prima ausspannen, grillen etc. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und kümmert sich sehr um das Haus und seine Gäste. Das Haus ist ideal für ein Paar, ist liebevoll eingerichtet und hat eine einfache Küche in der man alles hat, was man braucht. Von Kontomari ist man in...

2.0 star property

"The place was great. The people at the front desk, bell staff and housekeeping were the best and most helpful. Our stay was near the end of the season so the restaurant was understaffed and a little slow. On the other hand there are so many great places to eat within short walking distance it didn't really matter. Highly recommended. Next time I will split time between here and old Chania."
