Fivos Apartments

There are rooms for large families and not only. In the one I stayed in due to necessity, it was large with two bathrooms, but the shower was small and did not fit easily either in height or width. There was also a sense of antiquity in the atmosphere from the mattresses of the beds to the wardrobes, reminiscent of the 90s era, so there should be corresponding values in the rental.

Our experience was not one of the best. We have visited several hotels both in summer and winter holidays. This is the first time we have encountered such an owner. I found the hotel through the booking platform but because I do not trust it so much I found the owner's phone number and booked it by phone. The price of the room was exactly the same and by phone I contacted at 112€ I put a deposit of 150€ to reserve the room. When we arrived at the room the owner directly asked for the money to pay for the room and of course he wanted it in cash. I informed him that we did not have the full amount in cash and that we would get it out and give it to him the next day. The next morning we were leaving for a swim and while he was sitting on his balcony he called us to tell us that we had the rest… The gentleman didn’t want to cut a receipt and pay by card to avoid commissions and taxes, when I told him that in the app it is the same price including taxes and reservations and that it doesn’t make sense to charge us the same amount since he wants them black he found a way to say that we have the air conditioning in addition. Of course he didn’t accept us paying by card and simply deducted €10 from the total amount as a favor. The cleanliness of the room when we went was quite good, I can say that the next few days one sweep and that wasn’t perfect, the many many, they didn’t even change our towels… on the third day I took it and begged them to change our towels. The owner was quite surprised that the women hadn't changed the towels and informed me that tomorrow when they come again they will change them while I told him that I would like new towels that day he hung up on me. After a while he called me and told me to go get them. He gave me two large ones and not small ones, telling me that the women would put small ones in the morning and of course that never happened. One last thing I want to point out about the owner is that on the penultimate day I asked him what time he wanted us to leave the room and while on the internet he states check out time is 12 he told us to leave at 10… As for the outside area, it is quite nicely decorated, the only unpleasant thing is that the cockroaches are having a party. Of course the other day when we saw the ones that we said had a lot of cockroaches we saw that they had put a towel in the sewer from under the lid to prevent them from getting through. The distances of the island from the accommodation were great and we regretted choosing it. It is good to pay attention to my Cretan before choosing it.

A very welcoming place that reminds you of an island neighborhood. Mr. Achilleas and all the staff are always there to make you feel at home. Thank you very much, keep it up!!!
