We booked this hotel with you Hotels.com BUT when we've arrived they said "They don't have any of our reservation from your website" ... why's that ? And we needed to find another hotel.

Acceptabelt hvis man skal til Samaria-kløften
Ok sted at overnatte, hvis man skal til Samaria-kløften. Meget venlig betjening og god mad. Værelserne er kolde, og der var sjældent varmt vand.
Great location in Omalos. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We stayed two days and they brought us to the Samaria Gorge and the Mount Gingilos. They even organized to send our luggage to our next destination, so we wouldn't have to carry them in the Samaria Gorge. e had breakfast and dinner there, very good. They even prepared lunch for us.

Het is een familiebedrijf met eenvoudige kamers. Een prima uitvalbasis om de Samariakloof te lopen. Verwacht geen luxe, maar de gastvrijheid van de familie maakt alles goed.
