We stayed for 4 nights, the family of dimitris resort are amazing, full of good energy and they make you feel at
home.
The rooms are nice
And
The swimmingpool is amazing and the view is beautiful.
They can also help with a texi from the airport
We really recommend.
Booked directly using the poor check bookings site. Sent a note to cancel for a partial refund which was ignored for a week (even though all previous communication was instant) was then told that I had to use the check bookings site to cancel - by which time I was too late for a refund -and in any case it was not possible to cancel using the site. Awful communication from the owner who started talking about getting his legal team involved. - not the Cretan hospitality I have been used too for 30 years.
So I told this story to a few friends and low and behold a number of others have had the same experience. One friend lost 500 euros because the rooms he booked were not cancellable and he was not allowed to let a friend use the room as it is not allowed. This was for the Matala weekend where rooms would relet immediately.
There are plenty of other lovely rooms and hotels in Matala so avoid this place if you can!
Dear Dave
About your commetns i thing is not "all the truth"
you have use the Real Time Reservation System from CHECKBOOKING ...when you make a Reservation you receive a username and a password if you wish to make any "changes" or "cancel" your Reservation till 14 nights before the arrival date....you never use them and from our side we can not have access in your "data' to make any change in the Reservation becouse this is Unlegal from Europian Law.
About your friend who you say "he lost 500 euro" he make a Reservation to our Hotel from BOOKING.COM under a NON-REFUNDABLE mode and as you already know these Reservations can not change or cancel thats why the Price in these reservations are really low ( -40%) ...this is the truth ...i understand that you probably you dont know to use the Technology of Internet to make changes or to follow "Term and Contitions" but our Hotel do...
Also from our side we prefer to co-operate with guest who understand how the Internet work and to follow the "Term and Contitions" of a Net Reservation ....please try to forget what you can do in Greece 30 years ago becouse this style and this "philosophy" make all this financial problems in the Country.
Thank you again and i wish to you the best for the rest of the summer.

Hotel Owner
Had a great stay for a week October 2017. The rooms were spotless and cleaned nearly every day. The breakfast was very good and as much as you would want to eat. We also had the half board option and the evening meals were 3 course traditional Greek cookery. The pool was first class and very clean. The property is well set back from the road so is quiet. Elaina ran the facility and was warm and friendly. If you are a natural complainer this may not be the place for you but if you don't like friendship, hospitality and generosity you probably shouldn't be in Greece anyway! the hotel has a slightly hippy bijou feel other guests with children loved the atmosphere and some had visited several times. Note the pool has a deep end.
We spend three weeks in September in Dimitris´ in Matala and it was a nice experience for all of us. We booked for two rooms - one was in the house nearby the breakfast premisses and the nice swimming pool, the rooms are on the second floor (a little bit higher stairs - no elevator), the other in the building only one minute walk distant, with rooms also on the ground floor with a charming veranda. Our rooms were not five stars but corresponding with the price we had chosen - big enough for two and every day cleaned. If You are not in a honeymoon trip, book for a room with two separate beds as the double bed is not wide enough and every move next to You will awake You. All offered equipmets were functional - just a little bit weak shower. Only a couple of wire hangers in the wardrobe. Pack the hangers in Your suitcase as well as drying line, there is no facility for drying Your swimming costume and towel used at the sea.
Breakfast in a form of buffet is sufficient and nobody will limit Your appetite and hunger - good coffee or tea, outstanding greek bread and feta cheese, pastry, ham, eggs, butter, jam, excellent yoghurt, honey, fruits ... The stuff - mother and her doughter and the aunt are friendly and always willing to meet Your needs and wishes - our thanks to all of them!
The swimming pool at the breakfast premisses is 1st class - spacious and clean, surrounded by a lot of couchettes. The nearest Matala beach is reaaly just a stones´
throw away, but alwas crowded. We decided for the nearby beach Komos - much bigger (1 km long) without any beach facilities but possible to swim or sunbathe without swim suit. In Matala there are many taverns with delicious dishes. We realy enjoyed our stay.
We stayed for one night (2 persons) for around 54€. We became a very good breakfast, the rooms are simple but clean and roomy. We had a working AC and the pool is very nice and clean. The beach is just 5 min. from the accommodation but it's nevertheless a quiet place. There are good parking places direct in front of our room. Good Wifi in our room. The stuff are very friendly! :) thank you! We would come again!
