Stone Village

We stayed on an island Crete from 17.07.2025 to 24.07.2025. This island was impressive with the beauty of the sea, beach, mountains and hotels. The water in the sea was of three colours (dark blue, turquoise and blue). The beach was not big because there were too many sun loungers. Our room in Stone Village hotel was big with a kitchen and two rooms. But we moved two beds from the kitchen to the room so that we could sleep together. In our room we loved playing cards. The food was very different like beef, salads, fruit and vegetables. My favourite dish was spaghetti with ketchup, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and omelette. There were delicious juices and ice cream. But juices were only in the morning and ice cream was only in the evening. In the hotel there were two pools (one was ours and the other was communal) The service was slow. Some workers were unfriendly. The sea is far from the hotel. It takes about 30 minutes on foot or €5 on the bus. Thank you!!!

We had a great time at the village. Authentic place situated between the hills. Home cooked styled food. Lot of animals on the farm. Room was spacious, cool and cleaned everyday. Staff was kind. Recommended for people who does not like mass tourism.

Photos incredibly different from the reality. They make it seem that you are the problem if you show the side by side comparison.|They gave us something very different to the booking and told us we should expect a very different standard. Crowded. Tiny. We showed them all the dust and they just said a cleaning lady had been in (they agreed it was dusty and dirty and said it was normal).|They seem to be v quick to offer a refund. They know they are not being truthful. |Dusty, dirty. Very low standards. I absolutely would not recommend.

This is a hard review to write as I have such mixed feelings about the hotel and accommodation.|I travelled with my 3 teenage|Daughters, We had a fabulous holiday in Bali, a truly beautiful town and somewhere I would love to return someday. ||The Apartment we had (39) randomly had a huge rock in the middle of it,|but this just added to the ambience. The room was clean and had all we needed. The location was perfect right by the pool.|The beds and furniture were dated and really need updating. |My daughter fell through a chair on the balcony where the chair had just weathered. ||On our 4th night I saw a rat in our room, we went to the reception and we were moved to the Apartment next door while they dealt with this, unfortunately the bed in this apartment was broken and my daughter ended up sleeping on a mattress on the floor. This is when we discovered how stained and old the beds were.|The next day we were told we were to stay in the new apartment and we were helped to move our luggage over. |We had to say several times about the broken bed before they would swap.||The food in the restaurant was below expectations breakfast was ok, Dinner was awful and we ended up eating out every night.||The hotel is a good 15 min walk from the town but there is a land train you can use|For 3 euros each.||The pool area is tired and the bottom of the pool has sharp drains which we hurt our feet on a few times.||The bridge over the pool has nails through that go to the underside in the water and my daughter did scratch her head on.||The staff were not particularly friendly except the cleaning lady.

Very good value for the money,|Place itself is beautiful,pools clean and not very busy, if you are looking for chilled and quiet place it's for you. Food could be bit improved.Staff very accommodating.Bali itself is pretty quiet and peaceful.Very good base to explore fantastic island of Crete

Pros: super great staff. Everyone is very friendly and helpful! Pools! The ambiance was peaceful and felt very authentic. Great breakfast and dinner buffet, both included. Amazing food! Large apartment Cons: Nothing on the buffet was marked. So it was a guessing game what you were getting. We have some allergies so we were crazy careful but still had to get benadryl. The refrigerator was on the electric outlet that shut off whenever the card was removed. We lost groceries, but it was fine as dinner was included. Tea kettle did not work.

This hotel absolutely enchanted us. It's magical as you enter under the canopy of rose blossoms and the way of building this place is like organized chaos (just like a Greek old town). The food was very tasty and regularly changed. At first, our accommodation was not what we expected based on the description given on booking, but then we were allocated to another room which was very cozy and comfortable. All thanks to the help of a great receptionist Dimitro. All the staff was amazing, especially with our little 1yo daughter. Special thanks goes to Janis and Natasa, who took great care of us. We WILL come again, and I hope it will be very soon.

It's a tourist trap. Due to the vegetation and the stone houses, it looks like a beautiful location, but in fact things are just the other way around. I think the following things/services could be improved. Some examples would be: the heavy smell in the rooms - aired more often, replacing the extra armchairs as beds with real beds, changing the light bulb in the refrigerator in the room, cleaning the rooms daily because there are ants, spiders and house centipedes. Daily replenishment of toilet paper and shower accessories would be a nice thing to happen. At breakfast and dinner there was a heavy smell that sometimes greeted you upon entering. The cake cover is torn and dirty, the cereal jars are dirty, the cutlery and plates are sometimes dirty, the napkins are given with the portion, the coffee is more of a tea, the water dispenser can is old, and the food should be diversified. There was no zoo, just a few rabbits, 2 cats, a few turkeys, a horse and a pony, and the setting was sad and dusty. There are also owls that fly around the yard in the evening and catch mice. Unfortunately, the swimming pools are without water recirculation, and the playgrounds I saw were closed, probably to be renovated. The staff is apparently friendly until you call their attention that things are not ok. I am convinced that this location can look better and be at least 3 stars.
