this is the 2nd year we have stayed in these apartments and again no complaints. We have been to Malia a good few times and would only stay here now. The owner is lovely as long as you are behaving yourself and being respectful to him. Which, as a nice person myself, wasnt... more

I honestly cannot understand the bad reviews I've seen on the various review sites on the web. I stayed in Despoulla (known as Despina in Malia for some reason!) between the 13-20th July 2010 with 3 other girls aged 18 for a clubbing holiday. After reading the reviews I... more

Had 2 rooms here, we were 4 girls and were preparing ourselves for the worst after reading many of the reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised. We thought it was good value for what we had payed for. The location was excellent - small store across the road sells... more

This hotel is the worst ive ever been in. It's worth paying an extra £50 or what not to get a better place. Seriously.. 7 days, they changed the sheets twice.. and the 2nd time was when we were leaving. The place is infected with mosquitoes and what not.. i got bitten... more

When we first booked the holiday in these apartments, 6 people from our group dropped out because of the bad reviews on these websites! When we got there I couldnt find anything wrong at all. The rooms were easyily big enough for two people, they were very clean and the... more

Yes the rooms were basic, the hotel charged us for breaking a door and new sheets even though there is a laundrette which the hotel owns so shoudlnt have been that much, the security guard wasnt there most of the time so our group got away with taking girls back. Pool area... more

This hotel is very basic and indeed very small and on the compact side, so if you are not wanting to book into the Ritz, then you will be ok. The room was cleaned most days, but seemed to tail off towards the end of the week, for example loo roll wasnt replaced. This... more

The apartments were dirty and had obviously not been cleaned before we arrived. The maid was very rude when we asked for clean towels and sheets after the 4th day. We later found out that the disgusting smell that was in our room was due to rotten food left from some... more

My advice to anyone who wants to go to Malia is not to stay in this dive! We arrived at the hotel to find that the rooms had not even been cleaned and didn’t really get cleaned throughout the two weeks that we were here. There was mould in the bathroom around the sink... more
