Ariadni is family run and it was so convenient and a very central location , perfect for strolling through the villages , rooms were basic but had everything we needed , beds were very comfortable and it had a good shower too ..there is a great restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and staff

very small pool and not much room around it for sunloungers and then the building blocked a lot of the sun , but we still enjoyed the time we spent relaxing by the pool and listening to the music that they played

Very clean, comfortable and relaxed. Excellent location in the village. Staff here were immensely friendly, fun and helpful. Their restaurant has fabulous food. We would most definitely recommend to anyone. It is great value for money. Very Basic but a great alternative to the 5* expense, which honestly is not needed in Koutouloufari. We will definately be back. Sue & Steve (uk).

Not much room round the pool area. Lack of umbrellas. However this did not lessen our holiday experience in any way.

In an excellent location in the heart of the village is this brilliant basic budget hotel. No frills for sure but spacious bedroom, comfy beds, lots of cupboard space, very good proper bathroom with proper enclosed shower cubicle, no curtains!! Decent lounge kettle,coffee machine, sandwich toaster and 2 rings, fridge. Cleaned on alternate days so always nice and fresh, towels and clean sheets x2 per week, good quality and mattress protectors on the beds, spare pillows and blankets

The downside is the pool area, there is very little space for sunbathing, no pool bar as such though the restaurant bar is open during the day. It being a restaurant other customers are always there and it can feel a bit public. If you like sitting round a pool bar in your bikini all day don’t come here -unless you are going to go off to other pools or the beaches of course

Fabulous location in a stunning part of Crete, immaculately clean, fantastic hosts and incredible value for money

The only thing and this is extremely minor as everything was exceptional is that there were a great selection of pans but no cooker and lots of cups and saucers but no kettle so couldn’t make a cup of tea - the owners were so lovely I’m sure they would have provided one if I’d have asked - but it was such a short stay and there was a coffee maker instead :)

Breakfast was very good and their restaurant was excellent, pizzas and slow cooked lamb from the wood oven, and other traditional Greek food, and the service was really good, fast and friendly, and good sized portions. This is a family run hotel and they go out of their way to make sure you're satisfied. The staff were really friendly and helpful, rooms were very clean, aircon was good. The location was perfect for us. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Koutouloufari.

We were happy with everything.

Absolutely love staying at Ariadni , it’s our 6th consecutive visit , staff are always so welcoming . The studio we stayed in suited our needs and was clean and well serviced . The restaurant at Ariadni’s is one of the best in Koutouloufari and we look forward to coming back again next year and the year after .

Everything was good

Stayed with this amazingly friendly, international yet traditional Greek family who gave a little personal touch to the service and their guests. It was like staying with family really. Also had the best cheeseburgers in town from their kitchen! Will definitely stay here again when visiting. Can’t really wait ❤️

Very clean, staff is amazing, very nice and very friendly, professional, the restaurant has fresh food and very tasty, at good prices and the food arrived fast. The owners are extremely friendly and wonderful people, really made my stay a very pleasant experience. Fell in love with everything! Will surely return.

there is nothing not to like

The staff are good people, the view is quite nice and overall this hotel definitely offered the best price for a private room on the whole island during the end of the season.

Sadly there were a few things preventing me from giving this hotel a perfect score - the wifi was very slow, the AC was too noisy and there wasn't always hot water available in the shower.
