The Hostel was overall great. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere of the hostel was fantastic. Although I must say that the room where we stayed was very much small.

At first when we arrived at the hostel we found to be an ok atmosphere there we a lot of young people like expected but washrooms were outside which was unexpected almost similar to an "out-house". The staff was very laid back about payments, and this gave us a comfortable vibe at first. I was travelling with a group of girls and one night there was an incident which involved the manager of the hostel using his master to key to enter a dorm of 6 females at about 4:30am due to intoxication.

Owner Comment (Show)
That night (08/05/2012) we had 2 groups of girls staying at the Hostel in different rooms on the second floor. Around 04.00h in the morning the manager heard some of them making a lot of noise (they were actually on the roof top next to the rooms) and went upstairs to check what happened. He told them to stop immediately because other quests were sleeping and as soon as the girls returned to their rooms he also went downstairs to have some rest because, he works early every morning.

This hostel had a great vibe, easy going, laid back, the balcony was a great place to meet other people. The hostel owners were also super friendly and knowledgeable should you have any questions on Crete and Greece. Truly enjoyed my stay there.

I had an amazing time at this hostel. I was very happy that it was a traditional kind of place with semi-outdoor showers and beautiful orange trees overhanging the terrace. Even though there wasn\'t a place for me to lock my backpack, I still felt like my stuff was extremely safe. I definitely recommend this place to any kind of traveler.

The Rethymno Youth Hostel was the best hostel I have ever stayed in! Ivan was wonderful and you could really tell that he is passionate about his job. The hostel was a lot of fun and relaxed and you definitely get the most of your money. The location was great being so close to the beach and bus station. Ivan helped us plan activities and was exceedingly helpful and friendly.
