Hersonissos Village Hotel is applauded for its immaculate rooms and stunning views, though a few visitors suggest a refresh is due, and noise can be an issue. The hotel's cleanliness is consistently praised, and while the food quality receives varied feedback, the affordability of on-site amenities like car rental and souvenirs is appreciated. Despite some dated facilities, the picturesque pools and cuisine variety are popular.
Service is a highlight, with the sociable bartenders receiving special mention. The atmosphere is both intimate and vibrant, with the bay view and live music creating a memorable experience for many.

Hersonissos Village Hotel is a two-category hotel. The first part – renovated bungalows located in a beautiful garden. Rooms here are mainly provided to tourists from Germany, and the rooms probably meet the 4-star criteria. The second part of the hotel - some shabby bungalows placed in the bushes, not in the garden. The very appearance of the buildings suggests 2 or at most 3-star rooms. And in fact, that's exactly what they are. Poles are accommodated in this part of the hotel. It is only surprising that tour operators do not provide such details. Therefore, I agree with the previous opinions and suggest paying extra for a room with a sea view. Despite the location of these rooms in a worse part of the hotel, they are of a better standard than those without an additional fee (still at most 3 stars). Why top 3 stars? Because: the lock is falling off the exit door, the shower is broken, i.e. the tap cannot be adjusted up and down, the contacts are falling off the wall, the furniture is from the last century, the window cannot be closed from the inside - broken hinges, etc. As for the food, it seems to me that there is no tragedy for a week and everyone will find something for themselves. However, I confirm the repetition of dishes and their monotony. To sum up, the hotel is located on a hill with a beautiful view and close to a very nice sandy beach (very nice for Hersonossos conditions, of course, because the beaches here are very narrow, often rocky). It's a pity that 4 stars are misleading and you may feel disappointed. During my stay, I tried not to think about all the shortcomings and enjoy the nice views. However, I would not come here again unless the price was exceptionally attractive. In the hotel you get the impression that more than half of the guests are our compatriots, so this also needs to be taken into account. During my stay, there was a group of 15 young guys having nightly parties in the style of drunken park hooligans.

The rooms are a little dated, the fridge and air conditioning make a lot of noise and you can hear the neighbors loudly. However, with earplugs it's fine. We found the food very good and varied. The staff is incredibly kind. Both at the reception and at the restaurant in the spa and also the cleaning ladies. Special mention to these brave little ladies. Impeccable cleanliness, we had little touches such as a small bouquet of flowers, our napkins folded in a certain way with a candy in them. Access to the beaches is easy and just a stone's throw away. 2 spacious swimming pools, if I had to say its weak point it is the fact that you have to walk for excursions, because the buses do not know how to pass. Also no I put 4.5/5 We had an excellent vacation and a big thank you to all those people dedicated to the comfort of their residents.

A beautiful white village style hotel on the top of a hill with beautiful views. Unfortunately the hotel is in need of some TLC it’s a little dated. No map signs for where things are, games room was run down and all out of order!
The bedroom was pretty basic but clean. The pool areas are small but nice enough. Breakfast was the same each day a variety of hot and cold items, fresh made pancakes which were quite lovely. Lunch was served at the out door pool/bar area, dinner was in the restaurant area and both were your standard buffet style we only ate lunch twice and didnt have an evening meal which seems a waste as we were all inclusive.
All inclusive drinks were disappointing as you can only have beer, wine, soft drinks brandy or ouzo! Everything else you have to pay for and the cocktails were just as much as the bars in hersonissos 7€ There’s no ATM and you can’t pay card?? Rooms were cleaned (brushed, bed made and bins emptied) daily but we had to leave the towels on the floor in the bathroom to make sure they were changed.
Most staff were friendly just one gentleman (assuming he’s the manager) was quite rude and unhelpful. I don’t think we would stay again.

### Disappointing Stay at Hersonissos Village Hotel
I recently stayed at Hersonissos Village Hotel in Crete, and from the moment I arrived, I was thoroughly disappointed. Despite the sweltering temperatures of over 30°C, there was no air conditioning in the reception or the restaurant. This meant that I was constantly sweating and uncomfortable, which is not what you expect from a supposedly 4-star hotel.
One of the most frustrating aspects of my stay was that, despite being all-inclusive, the hotel did not provide bottled water. Instead, you had to drink filtered water from the terrace, which tasted terrible. Staying hydrated was a challenge, and this is simply unacceptable.
The rooms were in urgent need of refurbishment. The floor was breaking down, and the taps in the bathroom were covered in limestone. It was clear that maintenance and upkeep were not priorities for this hotel.
The food was another major letdown. The meals were average at best, with the same dishes being served every day. Lunch was particularly disappointing and far from what you would expect from a 4-star all-inclusive resort. In seven days, they only offered grilled chicken on one evening, while the rest of the time it was mainly stews.
I feel compelled to write this review to warn future guests. This hotel is not what it claims to be, and the previous positive reviews were very misleading. It was a big mistake to choose this place for our holiday. If you don’t want to constantly navigate stairs and hills, stay away. The nearest beach is a 10-minute walk away through a dusty, improvised road, and getting to town requires a taxi ride that costs 10 euros. Walking back from town is especially challenging.
The only redeeming features of Hersonissos Village are the views and the diligent housekeeping staff who did a good job cleaning the rooms. However, these positives do not make up for the numerous negatives. I would barely give this place 3 stars. We were very frustrated, especially on the last day when there was no air-conditioned place to wait for our shuttle. We had to sit on a chair and sweat constantly.
Avoid this place if you want a pleasant holiday experience.

We enjoyed our stay at Hersonissos Village. It was nice to have two swimming pools. The pool down the steps is preferable as it is quieter than the other pool. Breakfast was very good with lots of variety, although dinner was just okay and lunch was a bit less, but that was fine.
The cottages were pleasant, as they were not far from the pools and the dining area. We also had a beautiful sea view.
Unfortunately, you can hear a lot of noise from other rooms, and the mattress was very hard. The air conditioning in the room was good though.
The center of Chersonissos is a 15-minute walk away, which is ideal for an evening out. After going out, taking a taxi back is recommended because the way back to the hotel is steep uphill. A taxi from the center to the hotel costs only 10 euros.
Between 6:00 PM and 11:00 PM, there are free cocktails with excellent service from bartender Dimitris. He made us smile every evening and had great conversations, making the bar a pleasant place to be. We saw how hard he worked and yet he remained friendly to everyone. I highly recommend the 'Dimitris special' cocktail! Thank you, Dimitris, for the amazing service, we will miss you.

Hotel located on a hill with a breathtaking view, but unfortunately very steep and tiring to go up from the sea or from the center for children, elderly and non-elderly people. Athletes strengthen their quadriceps! The road to the beach is bumpy and in a clearing, on the other hand you arrive on a beach where the sea has colors and transparencies that make it amazing; Too bad it's small so capacity is limited. The structure itself is nice, but needs maintenance and modernization in general, golf area, dilapidated play area, showers, swimming pools and internal air conditioners, rooms to be cleaned and tidied up, space thing, the hairdryer stuck on a wooden shelf (do the anti-theft from you) and not being able to dry yourself in the bathroom and in the room where it is armored the alternative plug is missing and therefore you have to move the fridge and remove the plug from it. Lack of seat signs and an explanation at the reception of the facility. First of all, we were offered a room change with a sea view for €10 per day extra, which was rejected and then we found ourselves in a room with a sea view again!!? The food served in the three main meals is monotonous, of very mediocre quality especially at lunch, the main daily proposal being pork and pangasius with water soups inspired by prisoners; indeed in our prisons I am sure they are better prepared; not to mention the coffee, I don't dream of espresso, but what was offered was colored water without coffee 😂. Lack of seats for lunch, even if semi-open you are allowed to smoke, while for the dinner room there was a free sauna, given the too many people, the food warmers and an air conditioner that could not cover the room. Crete is beautiful and it was a shame not to offer typical local lunches. Non-existent entertainment and when there was one you discovered it at the moment without warning.

Distance from the sea 350 m, but the road is entirely on a slope so the ascent is very tiring and there are no handrails, the structure does not have any shuttle to the various beaches. The hotel is about 1.5 km from the center and if If you don't have a means of transport, it's an inconvenience, especially due to the slopes. The food served at breakfast, lunch and dinner is not international but mainly oriented towards Eastern European countries and is repetitive and of medium-low quality; They don't offer an evening with typical Greek cuisine!! In the All inclusive formula, espresso coffee is subject to a charge. The semi-open dining room has little capacity and there is little seating and smoking is permitted while eating; while the closed breakfast and dinner room suffocates due to too much heat. Animation almost non-existent. The staff is very friendly and the view from the property is spectacular.

Wonderful holiday, only downside is the steep climb of the road to the reception but because of that the view is beautiful. Everyone is friendly, the food is fine (don't expect a star restaurant) And the room had a nice balcony with sea view. Do you want to rent a car Do that in the village, most landlords are at almost half price and they come and pick up the car from the hotel. As for excursions, it is nice to book them in the village and what struck me is that the guides can talk very passionately about Things to do. In short, a successful holiday

We arrived late and were greeted straight away and taken to our room. The staff were very hospitable and for the most part friendly (some unfriendly and rude restaurant staff). If you are wanting all inclusive for cheaper food/drink options do not stay here. There was plenty of choice for food but it was mediocre at best. The quality was awful, one night there was souvlaki (unidentified meat) which was very gelatinous and felt undercooked. Another example was the so called risotto which had less taste and texture than a packet of microwave rice, was definitely not risotto. It was clearly not fresh and a lot of it was from frozen. Unfortunately not all the food was labelled either which made it difficult for myself having a Nut allergy. The deserts consisted of some sort of cheesecake (which even the chef couldn't say whether there was nuts in this as it was bought in), tangerine slices dipped in chocolate, some sort of coconut bun, baklava and fruit. Their was also no fresh juice at breakfast, only cordial. Many much older (50+) non British guests seemed to enjoy the food. The drinks were poor too, the only inclusive drinks were Ouzo, Raki, Brandy, Wine (tasted very vinegary), beer and soft drinks. For a single of any other spirit it was €6. The cocktails were poor too. The rooms were lovely and large, clean and airy. Other than the mattresses being very hard and uncomfortable, and the mini fridge being old and loud, the rooms were nice. We had some issues with the shower not working which the staff were quick to fix but apparently there was no bath plugs across the resort so I was unable to have a bath to help ease my muscles. It seems a bit of a strange policy to have bathtubs but not allow guests to have a bath. The cleaning staff were very efficient and friendly and cleaned everyday. The pool was a good size and seemed fairly clean but only one out of the two was open. The games room was disappointing having only one pool table (€2 per game), one table football and one air hockey table, neither of which worked. It could have done with a wipe around too. The website states that there is a shuttle service three times a week but I was informed they aren't doing it this year. Alongside this they advertise a laundry option at the front desk but this is external and very expensive with each item of laundry being between €3-€10. The view from the hotel was stunning and the beaches close by were beautiful and almost worth the stay. The atmosphere here was very relaxing and clearly for an older clientele without a party vibe which was nice. The restaurants locally were excellent and I would definitely recommend YA Seafood, Saradari, La Mia Pizza restaurant and Teverna Harakas. If you don't mind eating out every for every meal then it could be worth the stay but not good value for money considering. We were able to extend our check out until 6pm for €30 which was helpful with us having a late transfer and flight. Overall we enjoyed our stay but we wouldn't stay again The pictures are their version of a "risotto" and "Pina Colada".
