The island features many mountains, as well as a consistent Mediterranean climate. A bus stop lies just a couple of steps away from the hotel, so that guests are within easy reach of the holiday resort, Platanes, which is 6 km away and Rethymnon, located 12 km away, where guests will find a picturesque harbour as well as plenty of shopping opportunities. The transfer time to Chania and Heraklion airports is about 2 hours.

All-inclusive holidaymakers enjoy special extras like snacks, in addition to a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. A generous breakfast buffet provides many delicious reasons to rise and shine.

“Lovely Hotel, Great Food and Excellent Value for Money”
Really enjoyed our stay at Creta Star. We booked it last year, before the Iran war, so we’d been looking forward to the holiday for quite a while. The location was great and the hotel itself was lovely. Everything was very clean and well maintained, and it was also nice and quiet with no issues wi… more

“Swedish Brothers”
We spent a week at Creta Star and loved it. The food was fresh and delicious, and the hotel was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay. But for us, the animation team was fantastic. Their enthusiasm and friendly attitude really lifted our spirits. We miss them already. Keep up the amazing work… more

“Good for relaxing- not if you want to be immersed in the culture.”
The staff are thoughtful, after a day of asking for an extra table setting they memorised who we were and did it unprompted when they saw us. It’s a lively atmosphere and there is always something to do. However if you want to go out and explore the town, the taxis are expensive as the main towns a… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
