Patrick
We had a great time at the hostel in Greece. The location was convenient, being close to Karteros beach. The hostel was super clean and well-managed, with personal care from the owner. He even helped us with planning our activities and gave great recommendations. Additionally, we appreciated the nice balcony in our upgraded room.
While there were a few drawbacks, such as the lack of lockers and the shared bathrooms, overall our stay was enjoyable. The hostel was a bit far from the city and required a taxi ride, but it was worth it for the peaceful surroundings.

I stayed at George's house in Karteros for a week with my best friend and had a great time. It's close to the beach and there's a lovely bar nearby. The room had a balcony and air conditioning, which made for a comfortable sleep. The kitchen was spacious, and we enjoyed eating our meals on the terrace. George was a fantastic host, providing helpful tips and engaging conversations. The place was clean with a peaceful balcony and mountain views. I highly recommend staying here if you're in the area.
Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

I had a fantastic time staying at this hostel in Greece. The location was great, just a short walk to Karteros beach, which was absolutely beautiful. I felt safe and at home as a solo female traveler, thanks to the friendly and welcoming staff. The room and bathroom were clean, and I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this hostel for a short stay in Greece.

I had a fantastic stay at George's in Karteros. As a missionary, I was pleasantly surprised when the owner upgraded me to a private room with a balcony. The beach was beautiful and just a short walk away. George and his staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making sure I felt like part of the family. The location, although on the edge of the village, was perfect for me as I had a car and there was plenty of parking available. The value for money was exceptional, and I would definitely return in the future.
Strongly recommend this hotel.

Great value for money with a clean room and lovely view. The location was close to the beach and had a local vibe, which was nice. The host, George, was friendly and even allowed us to check in early.
The morning meal could be improved with more options.

Our stay at Saint George's hostel was marvellous, beyond expectations. The host and his family are very friendly and accommodating. They speak many languages and make you feel right at home. The location, just outside of Heraklion, is perfect for hot summer days/nights, as it's cooler than the city center. A beach is within walking distance and there's a pool with a restaurant nearby. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
I recommend this hotel.

Great hospitality and clean rooms. Very affordable prices and helpful owner. Good options for both dorms and private rooms. Always someone available in the garden for chats and advice.
Aggressive and insulting behavior from the owner. Lack of personal touch and additional amenities beyond the basic facilities.

Excellent selection of accommodation with comfortable beds, chargers near the bed, and great air quality. Friendly and like-minded travelers to meet. Great price, conditions, availability, and community. A hidden gem in Heraklion, offering top-notch conditions for an unbeatable price in Crete.

We recently enjoyed a romantic escape at a budget-friendly accommodation near the airport. The room we stayed in was clean and had a lovely view. We were pleasantly surprised to be allowed an early check-in and the host was very friendly and helpful. The peaceful neighborhood made our stay even more enjoyable.
There were a few things that could have been improved. we noticed some guests did not adhere to the quiet hours, which affected our sleep quality.

Clean and well-managed hostel with personal care from George. Close proximity to the airport, a big plus for travelers. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely view and great balcony. Spacious and clean bathrooms. Shareable room with locking facility. Working communal kitchen and wifi. Amazing value for money. Opportunity to meet and make friends for life, not just a place to sleep.
Felt like part of the family, with nothing being too much trouble.
