Me and a friend stayed here for 5 days. Our stay was so amazing we almost didn`t want to leave.
If you`re travelling and need a wee break from all the hustle and bustle of cities, this is the place for you. The area is surrounded by beautiful hikes, river walks, monasteries, and beaches.
The hostel itself is clean, has a kitchen and cooking equipment, a fridge and cupboard to store food, and mini fridge if you fancy a juice, a beer, or a bottle of wine, all of which you can add to your bill.
There were two group BBQ`s while we were there, and everyone hung out playing board games, or card games during the days.
We had an absolutely lovely stay and if ever I return to Crete, I know where I`m going to stay.

Easily the best hostel in Greece! Booked three nights and stayed 10! Great location (plenty to do away from the hustle and bustle!) , facilities (cooking utensils, fridge etc), common area (plenty of seating, hammocks, deck chairs) and events (weekly hostel BBQ's). The manager-Uli, also had exceptional service and was extremely helpful and friendly! I will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Liked: this hostel is SUPER! it`s located in the midst of beautiful hills overlooking the great beaches of Plakias, plenty to do around (awesome nudist beach, an old windmill and nice trails for relaxing walks). the hostel manager Uli is the nicest guy ever, knows everything there is to do, and brings all the travelers together, took us out to great tavernas to have lovely dinner and drinks cheap as heck! it`s chilled out, cool hammocks beneath the lemon trees, great breakfast (not included but real cheap and yummy), and wonderful company! I can`t wait to go back!

It was just an amazing trip

This place is what hostels are supposed to be about; really relaxed communal living and lots of fun if you´re looking for it. There´s also a lot of lovely places to see close by. I had a great time and would highly recommend staying here
