Danelis Studios & Apartments 3+ - Μάχης Κρήτης

Booked a holiday with a jet 2 rating of 4* And this is not what we got . Even though the gentleman was very friendly and polite the hotel it’s self was not what we expected . This hotel is very basic and we had to be moved from the lower ground room because of the cockroaches and bugs. The 2nd room wasn’t nice but had no bugs . The fridge was dirty and we didn’t feel comfortable. We have moved hotels and jet 2 hasn’t refunded any money at all in fact it has cost us £519 to move and whole experience had ruined our holiday . We will not be retuning

Lovely host and great apartments

What a fab holiday....great location....fab pool Makos and Nickos were brilliant...very friendly...helpful and always go that extra mile to make sure you enjoy your stay...no hesitation in recommending the Danelis for a holiday.....thank you and Yamos :)

Two brothers who are taking care of property are very friendly and kind. Swimming pool is just perfekt, food is very good. I love it here.

Very close to the strip with awesome staff and a nice pool. Perfect for a lads holiday with the chance to relax in the day. Shout out to Nikos, great guy terrible at poker.

This review should be particularly helpful for a group of lads on a drinking holiday. Upon arrival- greeted by Matt and Nico's who are both very friendly and helpful by telling us the do's and don'ts of malia and giving us free welcome shots. Location - absolute gem, 5 minute walk from the strip and away from all of the madness. Also close to old town which is worth visiting for food. Beach is a hike however which takes around 15-20 minutes to walk. Thinking back I'd probably get a quad but I didn't due to the risks involved with stealing etc. Rooms - rooms are near enough perfect for the price air con is solid however the safe is very not safe as they use a key rather than a code. The pool - perfection, always near empty meaning you have the pool to yourself essentially, there is also a deep end of the pool to dive and that. Food - do not eat food in danelis the sausages are terrible. Look at the top 10 trip advisor restaurants and go to all of them some excellent meals. Cleaner - Keep all of your things tidy or she will bin them. Moody and very rude. Comes into the room when your sleeping then doesn't clean it, she came in one day shouted then slammed the door . She also binned a few towels of ours. Bed sheets were not changed the whole holiday. Fines - we had no fines to pay for the holiday apart from the security guard who takes bribes for taking girls home. Staff - Matt and Nico's very friendly however Ben is lazy, rude and unwilling to help in situations of need. In conclusion danelis is the perfect spot for a lads holiday at an excellent price. If I was to return to malia I would 100% go back to danelis I hope this review aids your decision

The staff give an exceptionally warm and friendly welcome with above expectation support if anything is wrong, offer excellent advice about the surrounding areas and the rooms and hotel themselves are kept very clean and organised. This is by far the best accommodation I've stayed in abroad yet and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a holiday in Malia

Nikos and his brother (the owners) were great hosts. Nice rooms, great service and good food (breakfast). The pool is very nice and spacious and the best is location, 5 min walk from the main avenue - All good stuff is around, pizza, super market, bakery, car rental, bars and pubs..
