The Authentic Village Boutique Hotel

Kiki is a star! Loved her warmth and help for our stay. She gave us a few recommendations which actually were the best recommendations anyone had given us for our trip. We felt like a local and that’s exactly what we wanted! The rooms here were beautiful, a lovely set up and so close to the port. Overall a great place and would not hesitate to return if we came back to Sfakia!

Room was great, modern, receptionist was even better. Maybe best ever. They were so helpful. Sheets soft, hot shower with great water pressure. Only thing better would have been a sea view. But I'm sure that would have raised price out of the budget.

We stayed unfortunately only one night in this amazing hotel. The place is really cozy but luxury, romantic and extremely well located. It does also offer parking place at 2 minutes distance, which is definitely a plus considering the local geography. Staff really friendly, nice and helpful. There's no breakfast, but there's a coffee machine and a close bakery. On the down side, there are a lot of stairs, but nothing can be done against it, it's how the village is shaped. Room could be bigger: we were a bit tight with two suitcases. Apart from that, I would considering come back there again and again for a longer stay.

Fantastic hotel in Crete, which I truly cannot recommend enough. Booked a taxi for us from the airport and the helpful nature of the service only continued to improve from this point. The reception staff are brilliant, they could not do enough for us and give your hotel stay the best start possible, the addition of paper copies of maps was really helpful - as was the explanation provided on your arrival. The standard of the rooms are first class and the additional features of extensive toiletries in the bathroom and even a clothes steamer to easily sort those crushed items from travelling - are excellent and clearly very well thought through. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the friendly cleaning team are accommodating to the time you leave your room for the day and do a fantastic job returning the room to how it looked when you first walked in. Undoubtedly a nice little added bonus is 20% off breakfast at the local bakery, and it would be an error not to take advantage of it. All round brilliant hotel in Crete, the 1hr30 journey from the airport was very much worth it for the all round welcome and quality that you reach when you arrive. If and when we visit Southern Crete again we will definitely come to this hotel, the value for money is unreal.

We stayed for two nights to explore the area and walk one of the Gorges.The local beach is great and there are so many restaurants and bars nearby. The hotel is tastefully decorated and the staff are extremely charming and helpful. We would definitely recommend this place.

The hotel is located in the village itself and in a quiet area. Fantastic rooms in a very recent, moderna nd cosy hotel. Plus this hotel has a car park at your disposal which must be essentiel during the high season. The staff was extremely helpful, firendly and efficient. We were there mid-may which is still mid season, however the quality of the room as regards to the price was absolutely exceptionnal. I highly recomment staying at The Authentic Village Hotel.
