"Very clean, bathroom was spotless. A few days before arriving, my flight changed to a later departure, so I knew I wouldn’t arrive until after 10pm. The staff responded to my message promptly and was very kind to leave a key and note for me to get in. No problems driving to the place at night. The room was simple, clean and comfortable except for the bed which was very hard. I went out early to explore and planned to have breakfast when I came back around 9am, but when I returned to the property there was no staff or breakfast to be found."
"We stayed for one night. Our host Haroula was amazing! Our room was simple, nothing extravagant, but we did not seek the modern and slick. The garden has many many blooming cacti, and you know how rare those are, the room was spotless, wifi was better than hotels we stayed at in Crete, and we lacked for nothing. But honestly, pick this place so you can meet its host! She welcomed us w coffee, her advice could not have been better and she is honest to goodness delightful !"
"This is the place to be in Kiklamino🙏 Very gracious owners and relaxing atmosphere. Delicious breakfast for an additional 10 euros. Highly recommended."
"Room was small but workable. Nice balcony to relax on not much of a view . Shower is very small a thin person would barely fit but the water was hot. Came with a small.fridge freezer and worked great once plugged in. A/C was available but they removed the remote thinking I would not need it so room was stuffy and opening the bacony door helped a bit until the mosquitoes made their way in so that was annoying. Breakfast was very good no complaints. About a 10 minute walk into town so not a big deal and flat. I would suggest checking that the A/C remote is in your room before front desk closes. I would have rated the place higher if not for this. Again simple clean small room but served the purpose. Bed was a bit on the hard side."
