My husband and I booked this hotel on a popular hostel booking site, based on it's high and plentiful reviews. What a disaster. This is not a real hotel or even hostel. It's a family run 'B&B' that has so much potential to be a pleasant stay. My husband and I have stayed in plenty of hotels and hostels to... more

Me and my friend stayed at Villa Manos while in santorini. While its a bit far from Fira, about 15 minutes, its a really pleasant walk. And the town its outside of is so cute! But, I loved the hotel and everything about it. For 12 Euros a night, you cant go wrong, I would have gladly paid triple the... more

The greatest hotel I stayed at in my 4 1/2 months in Europe. As a budget traveller, i stayed in a room for only 12 euros a night. We had a balcony overlooking the water and a private pool. You get picked up and dropped off at your boat. Poppy, who runs the hotel, is a dream come true and... more

This was the most incredible stay of all the months i backpacked through europe. it was incredible affordable, the location was fantastic, and i cannot say enough about the owners. poppy is the most helpful woman in the world. she has fantastic recommendations for restaurants , car rentals, ATV rentals, etc... this was the last stay of my four month... more

Villa Manos had very nice rooms for a hostel. The actual property is really pretty, although they don't fill up the pool/hot tub until after we left (April). The real downside is the walk to Fira, the closest city, which is about 20 minutes up a road with no sidewalk most of the way and lots of cars speeding by.... more

We choose this place to stay after much research here at Tripadvisor as it was our first trip abroad (for a family wedding) and we are very much newbies at this whole travel thing, and had no idea of what to expect, and also realized we might need a bit of hand holding. Also as we needed two rooms, we... more

My husband and I have travelled a fair bit as he is an airline employee which has made travel easy for us. We never book ahead and often plan our trip as we go. This little gem of a hotel was recommended to us while staying at another hotel on Crete. It was not the Hilton but then neither did... more

Much like the most recent review of Villa Manos that I just read here (hello Mathew Snyder), I am also floored by any negative reviews of Villa Manos. I think the first thing to consider is that for the same price (20 Euros per person per night in a double room in mid-Sept) in Fira you would be staying in... more

My wife and I went there in June/July and we had the most fabulous time. It was our honeymoon, and we needed a cheaper place. I cannot believe that we could stay at that place for 35 euros a night! It was great. I think it is one of the best possible deals on the island. It is a bit... more
