Authentic experience
Pros:

Good place to stay if you want some authentic experience. The house is located in a small village in the hill countryside and the surrounding area is beautiful. And it is only 40 minute drive to both Rethymno and Chania, which was very comfortable. 8 minutes down the hill is a bigger village with shops, supermarkets and cafes. The family runs the restaurant also which has traditional greek dishes. Very friendly people. There are plenty of spaces to park the car.
The room was clean.

Cons:

The bed was a little bit small. And the bathroom also is not very big. The pressure of water in the shower is very low.

Pros:

Πολύ όμορφο σπίτι με φοβερή αρχιτεκτονική, άνετο ευρύχωρο. Ζεστό και ρομαντικό για ένα ζευγάρι τον χειμώνα. Και φιλικό προς το σκυλάκι μας

Cons:

Ίσως το μόνο αρνητικό για ένα σπίτι στο βουνό ήταν η έλλειψη χαλιών

W porządku
Pros:

Pokój w porządku, choć bez rewelacji, sprawnie działająca klimatyzacja, w pobliżu rodzinna tawerna otwarta wieczorami, miły i przyjazny personel, dobre, smaczne i duże dania w zadziwiająco niskich cenach

Cons:

Zameldowanie trwało długo, rodzinna tawerna, w której odbiera się klucze około 15 zamknięta na głucho, pierwszego dnia pobytu nie działało wifi, słabe oświetlenie w pokoju, w łazience i w pokoju buszują mrówki faraona

Pros:

Nel piccolo e pittoresco villaggio di Vafes l'appartamento ha soddisfatto in pieno le nostre aspettative per il suo aspetto tradizionale tanto per la struttura che per l'arredo. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Séjour reposant et accueil chaleureux
Pros:

Petit village calme et reposant, belle maison traditionnelle en pierre, spacieuse et bien rénovée, dotée d'un salon, d'une cuisine, d'une salle de bain, de 2 WC, d'une chambre et d'un espace extérieur hyper agréable, lequel donne sur un magnifique paysage. Les hôtes sont absolument charmants et aux petits soins. La taverne qu'ils tiennent proposent de quoi se restaurer toute la journée pour des tarifs plus que démocratiques. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Cons:

Franchement rien à redire

Agradable
Pros:

La tranquilitat de la zona. Molt acollidor i bonic. Bona ubicació.

El llit és una mica petit i antic. Per dues persones grans costava una mica estar còmode.

Ήσυχη και ξεκούραστη διαμονή.
Pros:

Εξαιρετική παραδοσιακή κατοικία με άνετους χώρους.

Cons:

Ενδεχομένως το κρεββάτι να έπρεπε να έχει μεγαλύτερο μήκος.
