Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Es waren Happy Days, die ich weiter empfehle.
Pros:

Kleines, familiäres Haus mit hilfsbereiten und sympathischen Betreibern und Beschäftigten. Auf vorherigen Wunsch bekam ich bei meiner Anreise ein Zimmer im EG und ein größeres Bett. Sehr sauber. Gute griechische Küche im Restaurant. Das kontinentale Frühstück war absolut ok. Die Altstadt von Malia war schnell zu Fuß zu erreichen.Ich komme wieder.

Cons:

Keine Sitzgelegenheit im Zimmer, nur ein Holzhocker. Toilettenpapier muss man selbst einkaufen gehen. Deutsches TV bis auf ZDF Info und österreichischem 3sat nicht vorhanden, bei leider relativ vielen Regentagen schade. Wasserdruck im Bad war sehr gering.

Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Happy Days in Malia, Crete, and we are very pleased with the experience. It’s a beautiful place with truly wonderful people.
The room and bathroom were very nice, clean, and tidy, and we had fresh towels every day. The atmosphere felt just like home — friendly, warm, and welcoming.
The food was absolutely delicious. We tried a different Greek main dish from the menu each day, and we can honestly recommend every single one. There’s also a huge choice of drinks, all at good prices.
Plus, there’s a lovely beach nearby which made the stay even better.
Highly recommend!

Este o locație frumoasă .
Pros:

Curat , îngrijit , personal amabil , studio dotat cu absolut tot ce ai nevoie , o terasă mică cu masă și 2 scaune , cele 2 piscine curate și îngrijite , am primit gratuit și un pătuț pentru bebelușul nostru iar pentru asta mulțumim . Este o locație bună dar e puțin mai dificil cu locurile de parcare în cazul în care trebuie să parchezi mașina .

Cons:

Ar trebui reguli mai stricte privind persoanele cazate în locație deoarece este foarte mult zgomot până spre 2-3 dimineața .

We loved happy days and would definitely come back!! great Value for money
Pros:

We absolutely loved the pool and sunbed area. The hotel had everything we needed and staff were very friendly. We came on a girls holiday so expected the bare minimum as it’s so cheap but it exceeded our expectations. The rooms were small but clean and comfortable and the balcony was spacious and had a nice view of the old town. We found staff to be very attentive and kind and as long as you don’t break the rules you will not have a bad experience with any of them.

Cons:

We felt the rooms were a bit small for 2 people but it was okay for what we needed and the price.

Unterkunft ok, Gäste letztklassig (natürlich nicht pauschal)
Pros:

Komfortabel und gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis

Cons:

Sehr niveaulose Gäste. Lärm verursacht von laut lachenden und sprechenden Gästen zwischen 02 und 03 Uhr morgens. Ich begab mich auf den Flur um nachzusehen, von wem der Lärm verursacht wurde. Außer mir standen noch viele andere Gäste auf den Balkonen und äußerten deren Unmut. Ich forderte einen der Verursacher auf, leise zu sein und den Mund zu halten. Unmittelbar darauf lief dieser Gast zu mir hoch und verwickelte mich in eine tätliche Auseinandersetzung, indem er mir sofort in das Gesicht schlug. Erst durch den Nacht-Security beruhigte sich die Szene. Jedenfalls ist dies für mich kein „place to be“. Auch wenn sich die Managerin (Besitzerin) am Morgen zerknirscht gab und sich entschuldigte.
