Asterias Village

L’espace piscine est très agréable, le personnel est d’une grande gentillesse. L’hôtel est proche de bon restaurants.

Druk zwembad.veel kleine kinderen

Balcony massive Beds comfortable Location

Busy for beds bye 7am Toilet around pool poor facility Oil scum line on pool not cleaned off in 10 days

Très bon séjour au Asterias Village, buffet du petit déjeuner très bon, nous avons pris demi pension et le dîner se passait au restaurant de l’hôtel à la carte. Tous ce que nous avons mangé étaient délicieux. Personnel très agréable.

La maisonnette est vieillotte

La piscine était super ! Les équipements de qualité et le personnel super sympa.

L’emplacement le cadre de l’hôtel

Les gens qui réserve les transat dès 5h du matin

La position géographique mais tout est en pente ; il faut le savoir quand même. Accueil excellent et personnel attentionné.

Petit déjeuner moyen sauf les fruits

Prachtige plek, mooi uitzicht, vriendelijk personeel, lekker eten, goeie kamers, kortom TOP!!!

Super emplacement, très mignon le soir pour ce promener . Les logements et équipements sont propre. Le petite dej très bien

Nous avons vu les clients se lever vers 7h30 le matin pour réserver leur transat. Dommage, pour les clients qui se lève à 9h

בריכה מהממת מיקום בתוך כפר כזה יפה

חדרים ישנים וברמה של אכסניה ממש ממש באסה

L’emplacement, la proximité avec des commerces sympathiques et un très jolie village.

Beautiful pool area

The stairs

Meeldis hotelli asukoht. Samuti on basseiniala mõnusalt hubane.

The staff, facilities and cleanilness. The place is calm and respectful. The meals are fine.

The beds, I wanted a double bed as I was with my spouse. It was very difficult to slip on twin beds! The breakfast is not included though in booking.com it was mentionned, I had to pay breakfasts. The shuttle bus to town should operate properly and drop passengers at right places. We didn't have slippers in our room, we had to buy from our own. For check in and check out, the client has to transport himself his luggage on the long stairs!

Flott moderne leilighet med separat soverom, balkong og utsikt over Hersonissos. Hyggelig betjening og fint bassengområde med fine uteområder og luxuriøse solsenger . Gode restauranter i nærheten , og de aller beste i old Hersonissos en drøy km vestover.

The location is convenient, the staff are professional and friendly,, and the place is very comfortable and relaxing.

"The bathroom is very old and needs renovation. The bed was not comfortable. The breakfast lacked variety, and the food was acceptable, but nothing more. The curtains in the room did not block the light effectively. The doors inside the apartment had no locks, and we were given only one key for more than one guest. The swimming pool was quite small.

The location great ,the dinner good and the staff very nice

The bed was very uncomfortable

The pool area is beautiful- the rooms don’t match the public areas

Room was really tired. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment, which didn’t look like the pics. The balcony was small - not like the pics. The shower was small and was completely open to bathroom. The room we has was closer to the road than the pool. This is relevant because the hotel is on a very steep hill. I’m glad we didn’t have to take our cases further down. That wouldn’t have been pleasant! I’m glad we’d only booked for a couple of nights. There were a LOT of flies in the pool area.

Nous avions opté pour une chambre vue mer qui a totalement correspondu à toutes nos attentes , la vue est superbe et la chambre assez spacieuse pour 2 adultes et 2 enfants. Côté équipement la piscine est très propre avec une belle ambiance , musique, transats toujours disponibles . Mes enfants se sont faits beaucoup de copains . Le petit déjeuner également rien à dire, très copieux et qualitatif. En ce qui concerne le dîner au restaurant, cadre agréable et personnel sympa , la petite dame est trop gentille : attentionnée et cute ! Mr et les enfants sont tristes de repartir 🤣.

On our last day here Asterias village hotel , been a great stay for 1 week , hotel is very clean very polite staff , breakfast was very good nice fresh food fruit and yoghurt was excellent, different teas and coffees , the breakfast staff very polite and welcoming! The pool area is very clean and has been modernised looks great , the night bar has Nicolas serving drinks with a great smile and very welcoming! While we was here we had a massage with on site nautilus spa and Micheal he’s very attentive and polite and we felt amazing after the treatment well worth a visit ! We had a great room , facing the see and the pool , very modern and clean we did upgrade the room when we booked with jet 2 All in all a great place for the price and food for breakfast and the restaurant at the top was lovely! Would recommend staying here 👍🏻

Basic, clean accommodation and a lovely pool area and bar. Unfortunately, the hotel description doesn't match the reality so we have felt somewhat short changed. There are no cookers, no live entertainment or kids clubs and no games room. The pool was also closed and cordoned off. We ate at the restaurant on arrival and the service was shocking, the waiter really didn't have a clue what he was doing and wouldn't let us make a drinks order whilst looking through the menu. Other residents have mentioned similar issues, luckily there's a lovely traditional restaurant almost next door where the food and service are excellent. The other disappointing thing is that almost everything nearby is closed and the village and 'beach' are basically a construction site. We have resorted to hiring a car and travelling up to Chania because there is so little to do around the hotel.

Loved it so much we came back. This was our second stay at Asterias Village, and it was just as impressive as the first. Set in the hills of Piskopiano, the location is outstanding, with an excellent range of restaurants, bars, and shops within easy reach. The hotel was exceptionally clean, and the staff were amazing, friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. We felt completely safe in the area, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Asterias Village went above and beyond by upgrading our room. They remembered our first visit and surprised us with a beautiful balcony room overlooking the pool, which we truly did not expect. The beer was great, the weather was hot, and overall the stay was fantastic. Highly recommended.

We spent the last week of October at the Asterias Village in Piskopiano the first day was a spanking 30 degrees of lovely sunshine. The place itself was nicely appointed, it looked a bit worn around the edges, paint damaged on doors, broken tiles in places. The room was ok, apart from the single beds and we were on our honeymoon. The shower blocked at one point and toaster packed up but all were sorted quickly. The pool and sun bathing area were good and the poolside bar/ cafe ok. Restaurant for breakfast was good, staff were splendid, really polite, helpful and went beyond their duties to be helpful at times. The two biggest problems were; The 66 steep, very steep steps up the middle of the complex which you couldn’t really avoid. Second problem wasn’t the resorts fault it was simply the time of year, a lot if the surrounding restaurants and bars had closed which meant we were a bit limited for choice but as I say that wasn’t the resorts fault. Overall we enjoyed our stay there and thought the staff helped to make it a great place.

Great stay at Asterias. Staff were friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed the pool and breakfasts. Room was basic but had everything we needed. Would recommend.

Let's start with the good points. A great pool area, great breakfast, helpful staff, very clean and a good location with plenty of restaurants close by. (when you'd got your breath back from the hike up the steps). Not so good points, 62 steps down from the road to reception and obviously the same every time you wanted to go out, so not for the infirm. (although to be fair, they will fetch you suitcases down and take them back up for you when you leave.) We paid extra for an apt with a sea view and kitchenette, we could only see the sea if we sat on the patio, the room had two small windows, one in the bedroom and one at the front, so it was dark. The bedroom was modern with a flat screen TV but the other room (the lounge) had two more single beds in it plus a small table and three chairs, no sofa and nowhere comfortable to sit. I felt the extra charge for "an apartment " was excessive for what you got. (No toaster, no microvave) So, after all this, would I go back? Probably not. Piskopiano is a lovely spot, but with the vast choice of accommodation available in the area, I think there are better places to choose from. Sorry Asterias.

Friendly staff, very clean, quiet and beautiful rooms. The pool area was perfect! We loved everything about Asterias Village and highly recommend it! See you next time!

Absolutely gorgeous and lovely place. Really enjoyed it here. Went with my family of 3 and we loved every minute of it. Would recommend to family, solo etc

Obversations are based on our stay in a superior sea view room on the top floor (road entrance) in October 2025 : LOCATION ; Coach transfer from the airport took approx 25 minutes although we were first drop off. The hotel position is excellent, situated in between Koutouloufari and Piskopiano, tavernas and supermarkets within 20 metres of the entrance, walk 20 minutes and you are in Hersonissos old town which is a charming little square and well worth a short walk. A 20 minute downhill walk from Koutouloufari and you are in the main stretch of Hersonissos with the port and everything else associated with a busy resort. The hotel provides a free return 8 seater shuttle bus into Hersonissos every day at 11am, 3pm and 6pm which is a very nice thought yet I cant help but wonder if it would be better served running every 2 hours from 10am until 8pm with maybe a small €1-2 per person fee so it becomes less costly for the hotel and more usable for the guests. I hope the management can consider and maybe trial this idea. The shuttle bus was in need of an internal clean and some internal maintenance, a taxi one way is €10. ROOM : Ours was smart and modern, lovely view, seperate shower room and bathroom, good drainage and no flooding or puddling in the shower room and the water pressure was consistent, condiments supplied were also good quality. The shower cubicle could do with a shelf because there is no where to put your stuff except for the floor, I hope the management take note. The room in general also lacked wall hooks, storage was good but there were no drawers. A free fridge, free A/C and free safe were provided. BBC world news on the TV, a kettle and pod coffee machine is in the room with complimentary teas and coffees upon arrival but these are not replenished during your stay. The balcony was an adequate size for 2 people with a table and 2 chairs and a wall mounted clothes airer, the dividing wall between next door was only 1 metre high and offered no privacy, this could be easily fixed and I hope the management take note. POOL AREA : Very smart with enough sun loungers during our stay in October but I wonder how this compares in high season, the sun loungers are good with many mattrass style and some in totally shaded areas too, pool bar pricing and daytime food options were very good although the vegetarian options were very limited, not every vegetarian wants salad every day ! I hope the management take note. The pool bar dining area also doubles up as the breakfast room and it is on the small side so I wonder what this would be like in high season, outdoor dining is limited compared to indoors. Buffet breakfast choices are excellent with continental and hot food options and everything was replenished constantly. A lot of reviews have mentioned the on site masseuse, our experience was that he was expensive and a little pushy around the pool touting for business, we said no twice and then he actually woke up my partner on her sun lounger to ask yet again if she would like a massage whilst I was not present and she was a little uncomfortable by this approach. We went to the beach in Stalis and had a massage there for half the price of the hotel. The beach in Stalis is lovely, pure sand a gentle 25 metre slope into the sea and you are still only chest deep, no pebbles or rocks and lots of beachside bars etc, a good day out, about 15-25 minutes on the local bus depending on the traffic for €2 per person each way or €15 in a taxi GENERAL : WIFI is good and consistent in all areas of the hotel, rooms are cleaned every day and towels and sheets changed every other day, tourist tax is €10 per room per night payable upon arrival, pool towels are available for a €10 refundable deposit, lots of reading books in the reception if required, all staff are friendly and the hotel is very clean, 60 steps from the road entrance down to the reception and pool but you can also walk down a little side road if the steps are a problem but with either option you have to come back up ! Leave your luggage at the top of the steps when you arrive and someone will take them to your room. Overall this is a very good hotel in an excellent spot, we never went into Hersonissos in the evening because there is more than enough choice on your doorstep, it isnt a rowdy location and there are no macdonalds or karaoke bars or quiz nights etc thank goodness, it is very traditional greek and we would certainly recommend it.

Was transferred to Asterias as the other apartments Piskopiano village would close midway through our holiday. Our flight was a late one so arriving at the apartments was around 1.30 am, was shocked at the amount of stairs to go down just to get to reception, at least 50 and quite steep. Checked in then was shown where our apartment was, omg up a very steep incline. Not good if you have mobility issues, certainly got a cardio workout! Wasn't happy with apartment 120 for various reasons, no sun, couldn't see out the kitchen window, etc etc. got the room changed a couple of days later in the main blocked. So much nicer thanks to the reception staff who made it possible. Outside pool area is really nice, Nikos in the bar, late afternoon & evening is very pleasant and played good music. We would probably go and stay again but would email ahead to request where you would prefer to stay.

Just back from the Asterias Village Resort. Located between two nice villages. On a hill giving a lovely view but lots of steps within the complex alternatively there is a walkable slope but not recommended for those with mobility issues. Received upgraded room on arrival, hotel has free transport down to Hersonissos - nice touch. Very clean, and rooms serviced every day. Nice pool, although slippery and lots of sun beds. TV channels in English very limited with only news channels no entertainment channels. Good choice at breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful. Complex contains highly recommended Nautilus Spa with Michael providing excellent therapeutic/relaxing massages, resolving long term muscle strains expertly and with great care. Area has lots of lovely tavernas and restaurants. Great holiday, would recommend.

Great place to stay and relax. Really nice pool area in a lovely setting. Special thanks goes to Michael in the Nautilus Spa, for a really good massage to my back. And also to Nikos in the bar, who's local knowledge is invaluable when deciding to eat at the many excellent Tavernas locally. The only downside is the slope, up and down to get to the well appointed apartments.

We had a lovely stay at the Asterias and would recommend it to anyone except those with restrictive mobility issues (being slightly unfit shouldn't affect your stay though) due to the stairs. Decor-wise, I would say the room was average rather than basic; for what we paid, I certainly wasn't expecting the same standard as a boutique hotel but I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the bedroom, living area (two extra beds and a dining table with chairs), and especially the sea view terrace. The bed was firm and comfortable. The kitchenette was decently equipped with a microwave,hob,coffee machine, fridge, freezer, toaster and the usual tableware. The communal areas are lovely. I loved the pool area as the layout was certainly more creative than your bog standard rectangular pool with a load of rickety sunbeds squashed around it. The sunbeds, canopies and beanbags gave the pool area a contemporary, stylish look. We only ate at the pool bar on the last day - we had a hamburger and chicken burger, both of which were tasty and a good price. The bathroom was compact thus leading to a lack of a sufficiently enclosed shower, but I've been going to various Greek destinations for over 30 years and the fact that the temperature was consistent with adjustable water pressure compensated for this fact. The rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels/bed linen. Air con is included in your stay. The shuttle bus to Hersonissos is another great perk, especially if you don't want to battle the hill in high temperatures. The location is great, koutouloufari to one side, Piskopiano to the other. All in all, a lovely complex with great staff. Would definitely stay again.

Resort had 60 steps from the road to the reception. So bear that in mind when booking. It was worth the climbs because the resort itself was fabulous. Large clean relaxing pool area. Spotless breakfast and evening meal restaurants. Staff were helpful and efficient, nothing was a problem. Rooms were adequate and regularly cleaned. All in all,a perfect relaxing holiday.

I first visited piskpino Crete 35 years ago for my honeymoon, so we wanted to go back on our 35th anniversary. The little village has changed so much, and yet still retains its charm and relaxed atmosphere. Lovely restaurant and taverns, Patrikos and Evines also the guys at the Irish bar . Great places for food and drink. The Asterias village hotel and apartments is a gem of a find, lovely staff great pool area and location is fantastic. However if you have any mobility issues, maybe not a great pick because of the steps that lead you to the main areas. We stayed in number 33 which was tastefully decorated with all that you need for comfort, also the internet service is great and free. Clean and friendly. You can also enjoy a massage from Michael who is very good . I definitely would recommend this accommodation and area also great safe place for solo travellers. I genuinely can't say enough how nice this place is . Top 5 day break. I will be back next year ..

We stayed at the Asterias for 2 nights, returning on Monday 15th September. We were dropped off outside the Hotel but had to walk down apx 60 steps to get to the Hotel Reception, anyone with mobility issues should not consider this Hotel as there are no lifts. The Reception was clean, bright and welcoming and although the rooms were basic they were perfectly adequate and clean. The shower head needed to be pointed towards the window wall to avoid flooding the bathroom but on the positive side the pressure was good. Breakfast was adequate, the fruit was sliced but not chopped and the eggs were disappointing but the yoghurt was exceptional. All of the staff were happy and helpful especially Nikos on the pool bar. The only toilets for use by the pool, bar and restaurant are in Reception which is n issue at peak times as there is only one Gents and one Ladies. Overall the village is pretty with plenty of bars and lovely restaurants, just mind those stairs!

The hotel was recommended to us as we wanted to stay in Koutouloufari. We arrived late in the evening and the staff were waiting for us and were lovely. All the staff were lovely. The pool area was lovely too always clean and we could always get a bed. It was our room I was a little disappointed with. We stayed in room 26, sea view is gorgeous and overlooking the pool area. But for a 4 star hotel I thought it wasn't maintained as it should be. There was a leak under the kitchen sink with a colander there to catch the drips, the wall was rotting so the smell was unpleasant. The bathroom was tatty. The woodwork around the door was also rotting and there was black mould in the corner behind the door. I believe there are rooms that have been upgraded not sure if they are more expensive. For what we paid for a room only basis I think we paid too much. Not a 4 star in my opinion.

My husband and I stayed here for 11 nights. Overall we had a pleasant stay, its a decent hotel but has areas to improve to earn its 4 star rating. The good bits: Staff- all very friendly and helpful Location- really good location in between the two villages Michael's massages at Nautilus Spa (although he could do with a proper treatment room vs the open tent by the main stairs) Pool area- very clean, lots of loungers (if you visit in September when the kids leave) Dinner- Good options and most dishes were nice. Drinks reasonably priced. The bad bits: The toilets in reception were not as clean as they should have been- bins with toilet tissue overflowing alot of the time. Outdated dysfunctional bathrooms- like others have said, there is no shower door so the entire bathroom floods and you need towels to mop it up or its very slippery. Pool music- repetitive playlists and very loud..not relaxing.. The slope going into the pool is dangerous as the tiles are extremely slippery- I saw so many people nearly fall over/fall over The breakfast was OK but the same each day- would benefit from an omelette station and better quality fruit juice. The back of the hotel looking out to sea is an eye sore- dumped piles of rubble/bricks and wasted space..could do with a tidy up.

We had a lovely holiday and did a enjoy our stay at this hotel, but there are a few things that could do with improving, starting with the shower which does not have a door to fully enclose it and it flooded the bathroom every single time we used it! The rooms were clean but very outdated and could do with a refurb. The hotel is in a good location if you enjoy walking to different areas near by and is also quiet in the evenings. The pool area was our favourite thing about the hotel, it was clean and had enough sun-beds that we didn’t struggle to get one at any time (but this might of been dependent on the time of year we went). Food at pool bar was decent and drinks were okay price. If you don’t like stairs or have mobility issues do not book this place, you will struggle. All staff were nice that we spoke to. I do think the rating of a 4* is slightly generous due the condition of the rooms but other than that, thanks for a wonderful stay!

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Asterias Village and had a lovely time. The pool area is fantastic with the comfiest sunbeds and beanbags. If you wanted to get a prime spot round the pool you did have to be up fairly early to put your towels out though. The pool isn’t massive and as it was school holidays it did get fairly busy in the pool, as we got to the end of our holiday a lot of kids were going home so it did get much quieter. The breakfast was good and there was always something for my fussy daughter. The pool bar/restaurant was also really good with a good menu and reasonable prices. We were in room 103 which was fairly close to the pool so was handy for nipping back if you needed to. It wasn’t a refurbished room and was very basic but was clean although we did have an issue with ants in the main bedroom. I found the beds ok to sleep on but my husband didn’t sleep great as he said the mattress was too soft. The bathroom was the main issue as the shower head was tiny but sprayed everywhere so you couldn’t help but get the whole bathroom soaked and the tiles were slippy. They only have one small shower screen which divided the shower and toilet. We had to use extra towels every night on the floor to mop up the water. The water was very temperamental too, it was either luke warm or boiling hot. There was a fridge in the room plus a kettle and coffee machine with mugs but no washing up facilities so you’d have to use the sink in the bathroom. I know a Greek 4* is different to a uk 4* but I’d say these rooms would only be a 2/3* I’d hope in future they could refurbish all the rooms so they’re at the same standard as the rest of the hotel. It wouldn’t put me off coming back to Asterias as we loved the pool area but I’d definitely pay for an upgraded room if we were to book again. I also loved that there were quite a few cats round the hotel and I did end up feeding a couple that would pass our room. Overall we had great holiday and loved the villages and all the restaurant choices. Asterias is in the perfect location for venturing between them.

We really enjoyed our holiday at Asterias Village. The pool area was really clean and modern, with a variety of sun loungers which were plentiful. The staff were great and helpful. Breakfast was nice with lots of choice, but popular items such as fresh fruit ran out quickly and took a while to be replenished. We had a one bed apartment with a sea view. The sea view was fabulous and my place to escape and relax with a coffee or a beer. The apartment could have done with a revamp. The shower flooded the bathroom like a wet room, although it wasn’t supposed to be a wet room, which made it unusable for an hour or so afterwards due to a soaking wet floor and slippery. Additionally, one of the plug sockets was coming away from the wall which I should have booked out, but after reception informed me they do not have 24/7 maintenance available one evening when the air con was leaking, I decided to ignore the issue and reported it on check out instead. Overall, a lovely place to stay in a great location. A couple of issues with the apartment wouldn’t put me off booking Asterias Village for my next holiday.

This is our third year coming to Crete and staying at Asterias village. It is in a fabulous location, with plenty of tavernas on the door step. The staff at Asterias are really friendly and welcoming and are happy to help. It was my birthday and they surprised me with a bottle of wine in the room. We had some issues with the electrics in the room and they were able to sort it out very quickly. We were in a room at the top with great views ( we didn’t mind the steps). The whole hotel and pool area was spotless clean and room was cleaned daily to very high standards. There were plenty of sun loungers to go around. We will miss Nikos the barman who makes you feel very welcome. Big thanks also to Nathan the Jet2 Rep who was a genuinely nice guy, very friendly and helpful with booking trips and tips and places to visit with our rental car. We look forward to coming back again and would definitely book Asterias village again.

L’établissement est joli, notamment autour de la piscine. Il y a même une chapelle. Les chambres sont propres, suffisamment équipées et comme sur les photos. La proximité du village de Koutouloufari est très agréable pour se promener le soir et dîner.

Le fait d’avoir le soleil dans les chambres malgré les rideaux dès 6h du matin. Les coussins trop dur.

Overall, I’m happy we stayed here. The location was ideal-so many tavernas on the doorstep & an easy walk into town. Our room had everything we needed & a beautiful view. A few tiny niggles-the receptionist telling us off for carrying our suitcases down 60 steps as he’d have to help us get them back up (no idea we could leave them at the top), the no inflatables in the pool rule bothered me. Is it a proper holiday without a lilo? And the pool man told my children off for jumping in (despite ignoring other older people doing it). I’d probably look for a slightly friendlier vibe but would love to go back to this area again.

We added half board to our stay and were pleasantly surprised with the selection at breakfast. We were also pleased that the hotel allowed us to switch evening meals to lunch time at poolside bar. This allowed us to discover all the wonderful tavernas surrounding the villages. The staff were brilliant. Hard working and all very polite. The areas were kept spotless and our room was very clean too. Our only observation was the room we had is ready for an upgrade. On our last day we paid extra to keep the room on as we had a late flight. They needed the room we’d been using so offered us a superior room for the rest of the day- this room was definitely an upgrade. I hope they continue to upgrade all rooms. The location of the hotel was perfect. 20 min walk to Hersonissos port area and 20 min walk to old Hersonissos.

Pool feels slightly small when hotel is busy. Despite inflatables clearly banned, we did see several children with really big inflatables that took up lots of room.

בריכה נהדרת ומוסדרת יש המון פינות לשבת אווירה ממש ממש טובה. חדר משפחה נח ויחסית מרווח מיטות נוחות ! חניה מסודרת ממול לאורחי המלון מיקום ממש טוב

ברז באמבטיה חצי סתום כלים במטבח היו מלאים באבק יש המון מדרגות לא מתאים לכל אחד... צריך לקחת בחשבון לעלות ולרדת לא מעט לבריכה , חדר ובחזרה...

המלון עצמו מאוד יפה ודי קטן. הוא ממוקם על ההר די רחוק מהחוף, בהתחלה חשבנו שזה "שום מקום" אבל אז הבנו שזה בעצם כפר קטן בפני עצמו, שהפך למאוד תיירותי, אבל עדיין יש בו סמטאות חיניניות לטייל מהם אם יש כוח להתמודד עם העליות החדות. היה נחמד מאוד!

“Asterias Village is a very nice hotel with an overall great structure – everything is well maintained and the facilities are excellent. The breakfast and dinner options were really good, with plenty of variety and quality food. The bed could be a bit more comfortable, but that’s a small detail compared to the overall experience. As it’s a larger resort, there’s the common issue of guests reserving sunbeds early in the morning with towels, sometimes keeping them blocked for the whole day. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay.

Lack of reinforcement of the rule of guests reserving seat at the pool early in the morning

Nous avons séjourné pour notre dernière nuit en Crète dans cet hôtel. L’extérieur (zone de piscine et restaurant étaient bien entretenus)

La chambre familiale était très décevante. Les équipements sont vétustes et attention aux photos 3D qui peuvent être trompeuses. Très mal insonorisé et matelas trop mou. Pas au niveau d’un 4 étoiles

Decided to treat myself and my numerous niggles to a full massage with Micheal. Micheal listened to my various aches and pains and promised he’d make a difference. I’ve had bad back pain that wakes me up in the night, for the last 8 weeks I have to take tablets to go back to sleep. My feet hurt from plantar faciatus from long hours on my feet at work. Micheal asked me to leave a review if I was happy I joked back I will if I sleep through!! Well Micheal here is your review Micheal is a true master of his trade, an absolute gentleman who I will never be able to thank enough. Last night I slept through pain free and for the first time in 8 weeks no pain tablets. My back feels amazing, my feet feel like I have individual toes again. I really cant thank Micheal anymore than to say I just came for a holiday and going home fully restored. Worth every € to be pain free and to have decent sleep. He is a true asset to this hotel and should be considered for a more professional spa room as you do feel a bit on view next to the main stairs. This is my first day of no pain tablets and it is such a joy to be pain free. Thank you so much.

Gary Evans 5/5 2 days ago on Google Third time we have stayed here and it's been great every time. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Michael who provides the massages is so good and me and my wife both booked multiple massages we were so relaxed and pleased with the service.

We stayed for 2 weeks at the Asterias Village Resort what a fabulous place to stay We were bed and breakfast as we like eating out spoiled for choice with Tavernas food amazing… I had read so much about the massage so I treated myself ….I had a massage it was so good I booked another one this was done by Michael …. Mautilus Spa what a great guy and so good at his job ….so don’t hesitate you must go and meet him and definitely book one

Returned to Asterias after a great holiday last year. Even better this year with the addition of the Spa. Michael is amazing, lovely person and fabulous treatment.

The pool space is great with plenty of sun loungers, bean bags etc for all. Staff are very welcoming shout out to Sofia in kids club. You absolutely must get a massage from Michael! You'll feel like your on a cloud of sunshine after really great massages I went twice! Lots of incredible restaurants within a 5 mins of the hotel

We have just returned from a week at Asterias Village - my husband and I and our 17 year old daughter. It was our first time as a family in Greece not on an All Inclusive holiday (something we did for many years given the facilities for our daughter) and we had THE BEST time! Asterias Village is a really nice hotel; a very chilled out vibe and as others have mentioned, a really nice mix of areas to hang out around the pool. We were on a B&B basis which worked perfectly for us as the brekkie met all our needs (it's pretty much the same each day, but it's breakfast so that was fine with us and there was plenty of choice!) and we had a sea view apartment which gave the three of us plenty of space. All the staff we met were lovely and the area is great - so many lovely places to go and eat or just have a drink. I rarely ever go back to the same place twice but seeing as next summer will be our last holiday as a family before our daughter goes to uni, we're already considering a return visit!

Vi stayed here for 5 days, and when we just arrived we were met with a complimentary upgrade of our room. Ending up with the loveliest room (room 4, a superior double room) Very spacious and very neatly decorated with plenty of storage space. AND With a balcony viewing the pool area and ocean as well. The pool has really wonderful opportunities for different sunbeds with possibility for sun or shade after preference. And it wasn’t really a big problem with other guest “reserving” them with their towels. Of course some of the other guest did it, even though the hotel ask them not too, but luckily there’s many really good quality sunbeds at this hotel, if you are not an early bird. The pool bar has a good variety of drinks and ice cream etc. (We drank a lot of pina coladas, and can definitely recommend). We ate lunch by the pool every day, and many of the portions are easily shareable. The breakfast buffet had good variety’s of food, and we really appreciated that they also had whole grain bread. The staff was very kind and helpful, and made us feel really welcome - and we especially enjoyed the “evening bartender”. He just had a great energy. And even though the pool “closes” at 7 pm, the pool bar is open until 2am, and it’s a very cozy place to hang out with a drink or play games. There’s also a small supermarket just up the stairs, for buying water etc. for the room. The small town where the hotel is located has many cute shops and restaurants, and all the restaurants we visited for dinner was good, and had beautiful views over the ocean. And the small hill streets are just very cozy to walk in. The hotel also offers a free shuttlebus to Hersonissos with restaurants by the harbor and more shops. In Hersonissos they (the shops and restaurants) are more persistent with the turist, but there are great views, and we ended up at a restaurant with seating all the way down on the water, that served really good quality food (and not just a turist trap). We could definitely see us selves going back to Asterias Village again. It was just a really beautiful and relaxing experience.

Just spent 2 weeks at the amazing Asterias Village. Wonderful accomodation, great breakfasts and friendly helpful staff. Top marks to Michael at Nautilus spa - booking a deep tissue massage is a must -so good I did it twice! A fabulous holiday.

We cannot think of a single negative. Staff, from cleaning to managers are all exceptional. Very professional and will go out of their way to help, extra pillows or whatever we asked for, we got straight away. Food service and quality is excellent. Rooms were clean and everything in good order. Comfortable beds, and loved the AC, I turned it down to very cold, which is what I like. Great views, but it is on a hill with steps. Struggled carrying the heavy suitcases down the stairs upon arrival, didn't realise I could have asked staff to 'drive' it down for me. Had wonderful head to toe massages from Michael (Nautilus Spa), highly recommended to de stress. Lots of shops and quaint restaurants within walking distance. Best of all, quiet and respectful ambiance, for those who want to get away and relax.

Les extérieurs sont top, piscine, transats, tout est super, l'emplacement de l hôtel est super aussi, les chambres sont grandes mais salle de bain un peu vétuste... dommage pour un 4 étoiles

Nothing to complain about, great mangers, especially Minas. Amazing soul, so very helpful and polite. Great breakfast, fairly quiet music in the background.

We stayed at the asterias village for 10 night. We had a run down apartment which wasn't great so Saturday morning we upgraded to one of the suites, glad we did and different level to the small one we stayed in on our arrival on Friday night. The food and drinks around the pool and the pool itself were fabulous but you do need to get your towel on the loungers early though, not quite enough to go around considering the amount of guests they have staying. We went half board which meant our evening meals were at the Oliva restaurant adjoining the resort. We had our one and only meal there, it wasn't the best meal so we opted to go to other tavernas during our stay instead. The other tavernas had a lot more choice and more greek dishes. I rate the other tavernas on the strip over Oliva. I would recommend Sita restaurant. We had a few meals there and the food was excellent. I want to make a special mention to 'magic' mike at the Nautilus spa on the resort ground who was fantastic, me and my wife had 2 massages each and would highly recommend going which made our stay very special. Yamas mike 👋👋👋

Me and my husband are here now, this is are second time. We are in the superior rooms and they are lovely. The staff are really nice. The hotel has upgraded so much since are last visit it is amazing the pool area is lovely. Outside the hotel are plenty of restaurants and tavernas and bars. The hotel is very clean and we have already booked for next June. Jackie and David jones x

Michael at Nautilus Spa inside the hotel was great, had the full body massage and it was well worth the money. Very relaxing.

Relaxing stay. We had a high-up room with good views. Reasonable choice of breakfast items, which staff constantly kept topped-up. We ate at different local restaurants each night - all very nice with friendly staff. We both had a massage at the Nautilus Spa. Michael was very friendly and you felt relaxed with him. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we both had a second one during our stay! Would definitely recommend Asterias Village Resort.

Asterias Village is a great base for a quiet relaxing holiday. Just a few minutes walk to the pretty villages of Koutouloufari and Piskopiano, both are lovely and have lots of restaurants to choose from. Night life is defo on the quiet side, but usually one of the bars will have some live music most evenings. If you walk a little further you will reach Old Town Hersonissos, also lovely and well worth the 20 min walk. The hotel has a lovely pool area, great sun beds and a chill out area in the shade. The bar has a good drinks selection and staff are really friendly. Our room was newly refurbished and of a really good standard. I visited the onsite Nautilus Spa twice in the week, Michael is a lovely guy and the aromatherapy massage was amazing. Highly recommend. The Olivia restaurant was good, really nice views and they had live Greek music the night we went which was nice. We also went to the Alar dinner show to see Spectacular, this was a great night out. A few niggles, bring your own pool towels the hotel ones are in need of an upgrade. As previous guests have mentioned the breakfast isn’t so great, we only had it once.

We had a lovely stay at the Astorias. Its was our first time here, and First time in Crete. Firstly, you should visit Michael at the Nautilus Spa (onsite by the pool) for a massage. Fantastic massage and a very nice man. I had a neck and back massage (twice) and it is well worth doing and very relaxing. He offers lots of other treatments there, so definitely go and visit him when you are there. We had a sea-view room with a balcony (large balcony) which was located near to the top of the stairs. Room was spacious and clean, two singles pushed together. There were additional single beds there, with a dining table and chairs. Fridge, hotplate and sink completed the kitchen area. We had a bath and overhead shower. This was clean – although some would describe it as “tired”. Please note that toilet paper would need to be placed in the bin beside the toilet – and not flushed. This is the practice for much of Crete, I’m told. There was Free Wi-Fi – which was very good. As many reviews have advised, there are 60 stairs from the pool / reception area to the town / hotel entrance. Also, your hotel room could be located anywhere on the complex, so please contact the hotel if you have any mobility or health issues. Outside the Hotel there is an abundance of place to eats and drink. At the top of the stairs / entrance, you can turn left to Koutouloufari town or right to Piskopiano town. Both are lovely for a walk and explore. If you continue right, through Piskopiano, then follow the road for 20 mins and you will reach Hersonissos Old Town. This has a nice square surrounded by restaurants – best visited when lit up at night. The hotel runs a daily minibus to Hersonissos City (not to be confused with the Old Town). This is by the sea and a much larger town for souvenirs shops, etc. There is a Café / Bar at the Pool which serves good food. If you are of the older generation, they can provide a paper menu – and save you having to use a code to read it on your mobile phone. I can only advise that the hotel keeps the paper menus as not everyone has their mobile phone constantly on their person! By the way, the special omelette there is HUGE! Easy enough for 2/3 people and tastes fantastic. There are enough sun loungers to go around, and please don’t be like most Europeans on holiday and commandeer the loungers (early in the morning – before you have had your breakfast) as there is no need to. You just look stupid if you do! There are two Pools – a Large Pool and a Children’s Pool. Please be aware that the Pool is very slippery when walking in via the steps. Whilst we were there, we saw a few people slip over when getting in the pool. Water is not very deep, but we feel its dangerous and should be looked at. Also, some of the plastic was coming off the pool tiles. Again, something the hotel should investigate. Hotel Safe is 10 Euro deposit (undefendable) and each Pool towel is 10 Euro deposit (refundable). There is also a 10 Euro per day (per room) Hotel tax – payable when you check in. As Fantastic Church / Chapel is also located in the hotel grounds, so have a look around as very interesting.

We have visited the villages many times and stayed at Asterias Village on many occasions. We come to Koutoulafari to enjoy the lovely food and atmosphere. As usual,after arriving on a late flight, we checked in and went straight to the bar and met Nikos. We had lots of drinks and lots of laughter. Nikos is a genuinely nice guy who wants everybody to enjoy themselves, so very surprised that Sharon didn't feel the same. I can only role on September. We will see again soon Nikos, my good friend.

We have been to the villages many times and have stayed at this hotel 5 times, booked for a sixth visit this September. I have always found the rooms to be very clean and the beds are comfortable. There are always staff cleaning in and around the hotel. The facilities in the the rooms give you everything you would need. The views from the hotel are fantastic. Outside of the room, the breakfast is very nice, lots of choice ( I prefer pastries, my husband prefers the hot food ) there's always staff on hand to assist if you want something different ie, scrambled eggs with no sausage. The pool area is always clean, in September, I always manage to get a sunbed. The pool bar offers a wide variety of drinks and food throughout the day. Nikos, the barman at night time, is always proffesional, informative of the area and very helpful. He builds an amazing rapport with the guests, some say they come back to hotel, every year, just to see Nikos! The hotel is situated in a perfect location within the villages and offers a shuttle service three times a day into Hersonissos free of charge.

I love it here it’s so relaxing but so comfortable it feels like home! The staff are so polite and helpful niko at the bar is so welcoming and a great friend!

Last minute stay at Asterias so ended up in a small studio which had no view, no fridge but we didn't expect anything else. We asked for an upgrade but the hotel was full. I'm sure we would have had one if possible. That said, comfy beds and good AC so happy overall. Yes, there's a lot of steps but if you've done your research, you'll know this. Perfect location for getting about the villages. Poole areas are fabulous, never had an issue getting a spot. Upgrades were happening all the time . It's a lovely peaceful space to relax. Just be careful of entering the pool, its a tad slippy and probably needs emptying, deep cleaning and all would be well. The staff are great, very helpful when needed, smart and happy. Special mention to Tina on reception who was new and always happy with a lovely smile. Also to the evening barman Nikos. A gentleman, expert cocktail maker and now friend. He keeps that bar pristine, organised and a chilled place to be. He's full of knowledge of the area he grew up , join in a conversation, you'll see. Many times he works past his finish time if there are people still at the bar. I asked why and he said he just wants people to enjoy their holidays they've worked hard to save for. So Sharon (June 2025) let Nikos do his job of emptying and refreshing you with a clean glass, he's proud of his work. No need to be so negative. Finally, a fab hotel that's being updated continuously and will be absolutely fantastic once completed. We shall return again but for now, off to investigate more Greek islands. The best people, seas, food and relaxation

I'll start with the good the staff are fantastic with the exception of the guy that checked us in, he prioritised some German guests who came in after us and abandoned us and our check in to attend to these guests he also by passed our room to leave our bags at the church. Fortunately we have stayed here many times so headed straight to the bar where we were greeted with the warmest welcome by Nico's the bartender who is the warmest nicest most helpful man I've had the pleasure to meet he always has a kind word and lovely smile for everyone, he never forgets a previous guest or what their usual drinks are he is always smiling Nico's is a huge factor in what keeps us coming back. The Restaurant and dining room staff are amazing, the food at breakfast is ok if a bit geared towards the German palette. Let's talk about the rooms they are in need of a refurbishment and cannot be called self catering with only a kettle coffee maker and fridge, the pool area is lovely. I am booked to come back next April and while I love the staff in particular Nico's who makes our nights special this last time I was disappointed in the rooms and the fact that The Germans appeared to get better service especially from management, Chi's give me more reassurance as an incentive for me to return

Firstly I want to give my hats of to all the team they are so nice and welcoming, but most of all nikos the bar man wow wow wow what a lovely man excellent customer service and so polite. Very hard working and always go that etc mile. To make sure all the customers are very. Happy Thankyou so much second time visiting and we will be back.

Had a really nice outdoor pool and chair area to hang out. Close to town and walkable to many different restaurants and stores

Nikos the bar man is fantastic always smiling always helpful. Most of the staff are the same but I have to say how Nikos steals the show with his humour and excellent service.

What a shame, 5 days into a lovely week and totally gobsmacked at how I was spoken to at the bar… waiting for a drink I put 2 small pieces of ice in the drip tray so it would be empty for the next drink… nothing significant or dirty but to my amazement the barman started having a go stating “that’s not garbage”! Shocked I said it just 2 small pieces of ice to which he snapped back “oh you are always right”!!! Very rude…. I went over to reception to express my anger over being spoken to (in front of other guests) then returned back to see the person I spoke to speaking to the rude bar man who then had another go at me asking “why you go tell on me at reception!?” You want me to get slapped”!!! I’m shocked at this service as been before but never experienced service like it…. NEVER AGAIN so upset 😭

I checked in and was told I had been given a free room upgrade, I was amazed when I seen my room, I was given room 22, the balcony was huge and the pool and sea view perfect, I travel frequently due to my job as a travel agent and all honesty I have to say this place was outstanding, all of the staff from bar, reception to housekeeping genuinely lovely, thank you Asterias Village for the great stay and memories, I will see you soon.

Just got back from a 10 night visit to Asterias Villas. Sooo let’s look at the good points firstly the staff are very nice and pleasant. My other half had a massage from Micheal which she thought was very good. Also the pool area is very modern with plenty of sunbeds no need to get up at 2 in the morning to get one. Perfect location with plenty of excellent bars and restaurants.Thats about it really. Now the not so good Firstly this is NOT a 4star hotel 10€ tourist tax a night for 2star accommodation unless your lucky enough to stay in a superior room who also pay 10€ a night and they get a safe key thrown in we had to pay €20. Not really fair is it. Issue with swimming pool watched several people slip over on entering the pool so be careful Breakfast mundane not really worth getting up for But here’s the big one got shown to our studio room on entry hit with a musky smell of drains and damp. Went to reception to change room but no joy. Had shower water flooding bathroom and bedroom floors had to use our towels every day to mop up water. Rotten door frames and blown plaster and poor decor. Worryingly there appeared to be an issue at some point with the plug socket as it showed signs of smoke damage leading up to the fuse board. None existent outside space two chairs and a small table outside your FRONT door. Brought all these points up on check out with the manager. This room is in need off total refurbishment and no better than a store room. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel plenty of real 4star hotels in the area with better facilities

Just back today from the Astoria Village. Beautiful complex, spotlessy clean everywhere. We were bed and breakfast, the breakfast was exactly the same every day, not up to much. This is my gripe, we paid 70 euros room tax which I wouldn’t have minded but our room 115 was anything but four star. Air con in the bedroom, fan in the living area. We had two cups, coffee maker and a kettle, also coffee pods, tea bags not a spoon in sight. Paid 60 euros to keep our room till 6. They gave us another room which was like a palace, room 123, could not believe how beautiful it was, a balcony with sun. We had no balcony and no sun on the tiny terrace. It had glasses, dishes, glasses bath and shower. Our bathroom was so dark and dingy the shower was horrendous. Why should we pay the same amount for an awful room. Staff were really nice, and rooms were kept spotless, beds and towels changed every two days.

It was nice and quiet , good location

The apartment was quite old fashioned and in need of modernisation , no door on Shower so floor was saturated every night making the floor slippy and dangerous , also seemed like pool maintenance was not 100% when walking in pool the floor tiles in pool seemed to have algae on them and quite a few people list their footing , if these things were sorted out I wouldn’t be able to fault hotel

Fantastic place and the surrounding villages are beautiful. I loved the fact there were only a small amount of rooms so wasn’t crowded at all . Can’t wait to go back next year and would recommend to anyone. Staff were great , food and drink were reasonably priced but would advise to go bed and breakfast as the restaurants in the villages are so amyyou won’t want to eat in the same place . Only downside is your half way up the mountain so not close to the beach at all but honestly that doesn’t matter at all as you’d be happier by the pool . The stairs and hills are a challenge for those who struggle but honestly it’s worth visiting this little gem

Stayed here early September and had a wonderful stay. Room was really spacious, the balcony didn't get any sun but this was a welcome relief after a day around the pool. The shower was lovely and powerful. The pool area was stunning, the renovation makes it feel very luxurious, there was never a shortage of sunbeds no matter time we went to the pool and they were really comfy too - even the 'traditional' beds. Only slight negative was the slippy pool, although it did provide some entertainment watching people trying to style out their slips - myself included!! Food at the pool bar was always lovely, fresh and plenty of choice. We had a late flight home so we left our bags in reception and made use of the pool showers which were pretty good, could just do with a shelf to stop clean clothes getting wet! Hotel is ideally located between Koutouloufari and Piscopiano so perfect for exploring all the different tavernas and restaurants. We never ate in the same place twice in the evening and didn't have a single bad meal. Also - the guy in the shop across the road was brilliant!!
