THE BEST!!!THE VIBE AND AURA OF THE PLACE, I can’t explain it’s something more than just a hotel. Thank you so much Maria, Kostas, Julien, Othello, Maria’s mum and dad, ladies who helped with cleaning and cooking for making our stay great and welcoming. We stayed 40 days in Baladinos and we will definitely come back. Excellent apartments on the beach. I enjoyed sounds of sea waves all day long including night as apartments have nice balconies with a stunning view. You have to try their dishes as well, I have never ate such delicious Greek salad in my life as Baladinos restaurant has. Othello, the dog, I will miss him so much. He was always so kind with kids playing around. We felt like we stayed at friends house. I wish all the best to Baladinos team and thousands of kisses to Othello❤️ beds were very comfortable, cleaning was also great, the view, small kitchen — everything was on top. thank you once again

Even if the expectations were a bit high after reading the reviews and viewing the pictures, I cannot forget how I felt when I actually got there. I was overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the place and I felt very lucky to have discovered this gem. I don't know if any review or picture could actually describe how you feel there. And then it got better, every day. Everything was perfect: the beach, the bar, the food, and especially the people there. And the slow blues, of course 🙂. I cannot imagine I would stay anywhere else if I come back to Crete.

Baladinos Apartments is a magic place where you can relax, eating very good food, enjoying the company of the other guests and at the same time have the privilege to be very close to a beautiful beach. Maria & Costas are very friendly as well as all the family. They don’t treat you just as a customer but as a member of their family. They do all their best to meet all the requests and needs you can have because they really care to make you feel happy and most importantly to enjoy your holiday. Every evening before dinner you can admire the sunset and in the morning, if you wake up early, the sunrise. Besides, it is a peaceful place, the apartment are equipped and clean. Beds are comfortable. Really recommended!

It is lovely home for holiday in great location: next to a big and not crowded beach, convenient to reach by public transport, several supermarkets located in walking distance, various and very delicious home made quality food (healthy and vegetarian friendly). Here we found everything what was needed for our relaxing week on the island and felt like visiting friends. We, two families with teenagers, were very warm welcomed by amazing hosts Maria and Kostas, who also kindly gave us useful tips, so we were able to travel without a car to all the places we wished, e.g. Falassarna, Elafonissi, Chania. We would like to comeback.

The location, the ambience, the welcome, the hosts, the food - everything. It is located righht on the beach and guaranteed not to be crowded. You feel right at home, it doesn't feel like it's a hotel, more like a home away from home. A warm welcome is guaranteed by Maria and Kostas, and the delicious food is prepared by Maria - real home-cooking with vegetables from the their garden. It's a real relaxing get-away - I will be back!

There was nothing that stood out for me. It isn't as polished as some of the other places along the beach, but that is its charm, and you feel part of it. It doesn't have a pool, but why bother when you have the sea at your doorstep?

Maria and Kostas are splendid hosts. They create such a beautiful environment for the guests that it feels like a family. I had amazing food (cooked at the moment with fresh ingredients), and the apartment was cleaned every day by the staff. The position was amazing, being far from the city center but perfectly serviced by bus services, and in a wonderful and tranquil zone, perfectly adapt to relax.

I had sometimes issues with the wifi speed, which I needed partly for work, but if the goal is to relax then it is the perfect combination!

I am old school guy (outdated) and so far (as of 2011) I did not rated any accommodation with 10. But had a lot of "opportunities" to be in accommodations highly rated , but just average from my side. Having in mind that that Baladinos Apartments would be rated at least with grade 15. Back to reality. Hosts are really great. A;ways willing to help and make stay better. In front of apartments is big sandy beach. Sunbeds and umbrella are also available, for free. If you have small kinds, playground for them is also available.. There is plenty space to park car. Closest market is at 5 minutes walking distance.

We had really enjoyed our stay and is is hard to find what we did not liked. Dining table was little bit small but again able to feet or needs.

50 meters to the sea, 1 km to Lidl shop. 200 meters to bus stop. Excellent for me staying with kids there. Child friendly: owners children + travellers’ make a great combination for fun and entertaiment. Shore is pubble, so I suggest to have gummi shoes to swim. But easilly to buy 4€ a pair in the nearest supermarket. Free sunbeds

The shower cabin is very narrow (~ 50x50 cm) so its better to be thin to use it. But its so small contra that is not important at all. Kitchen corner is small but it was no problem for us to use it and cook meals.

Location was great. Quiet beach to have a swim before breakfast.. I recommend families to travel here together. Safe and peaceful.Having a view to the sea and beach whilst having breakfast was just so relaxing. Breakfast served with a smile 😊 all the time. Simple fare with fresh homegrown eggs cooked to how you like it. fresh squeezed orange juice 🥤. Available are yoghurt jams etc. there is a bar and meals served . Great value for your money. Would definitely come back with family.

The staff was very helpful from the very beginning. The idea of a personalised breakfast was great, really unique approach and easy to appreciate. The quality of the food was good. The access to the beach with the sunbeds provided made us feel really comfortable. At the checkout the staff allowed us to keep our stuff in one of our booked apartments free of charge while we still had to work which is also something that is not so common but was easy to appreciate. The nearest bus stop back to Chania was basically right next to the apartment on the main road.

Hard to say anything negative. Maybe the location could be a bit closer to the center. But it was not disturbing at all.
