Villa Diasselo

Very nice little hotel, the owner was very helpful and stayed up to greet us after a delayed flight. I short walking distance of Stalida Beach and Malia but quiet at night. Clean and spacious apartment. Great for 2 nights or possible more. Bar and food available, nice swimming pool. Beds a little on the hard side, could do with a mattress topper. No toiletries, or kitchen cleaning material but Supermarket is 3 minutes walk. Good value for money. Thank you to Panos and his family and staff.

Unfortunately the photos in the ad were different to what we got. Our room was supposed to be 1 double bed and 2 singles bed but there were 3 single bed which was quite disappointing. The mattress is horrible quality and very springy. When we arrived to check in, the owner took us to the bar where he hand wrote our personal details including passport information in a notebook that was just left on the counter top for anyone to easily access. This is a huge concern. The owner told us that we would need to pay 35 EURO to use the air-con however the booking states aircon is included. They advised us that it’s only included if the booking was paid directly on their website instead of Expedia. I showed them the booking where it states aircon is included but they didn’t care, only wanted my money which I flat out refused. The shower is extremely tiny and there is not enough room to turn around without having the wet dirty shower curtain sticking to your body. We didn’t feel clean after taking a shower here. They didn’t supply a sponge and dish soap to wash the dishes so we didn’t want to use any of the supplied plates, cups and cutlery because all the previous occupants wouldn’t have washed them properly as there’s no sponge or dish soap to allow this. The fridge was also dirty inside, it doesn’t appear that the cleaning ladies do much here. I now understand why this place has recieved soo many bad reviews. Please be aware!

Staff was very kind. Close to the beach.
