Simple room but a very gracious owner. We don't speak Greek and she didn't speak English but she prepared a lovely dinner for us. We felt like we had become part of her family.

Great plaace to stay
Lovely mountain village. Our welcome was great and we were offered tea or coffee as we arrived. The room was a bit tired and unfortunately the bedding smelt a bit of cigarette smoke. The bathroom was a bit basic and the drain cover in the shower was not fitting properly. The traditional Cretan breakfast was superb and very different to any I have had before - everything was home made and was absolutely delicious! Wifi was good and fast - I work 'on the move' so i did need it.

In middle of nowhere
Booked for 3 nights. However checked out in 2 days since it’s very inconvenient. It’s literally in the middle of nowhere. I had to book another hotel at last minute for the other day.

Lovely hosts, lovely breakfast
The hosts gave us a lovely welcome. We had a balcony to the back if the property, with an open view to the west and Psiloritis. The breakfast is s amazing as they make advertise it :) Hopefully you have a sweet and a cheese tooth! The only downpoint: The room doors to the stairway aren't really sound proof. Whenever the first guys go for breakfast in the morning - you will know it.

Lovely friendly old fashioned hotel
Charming traditional Greek experience. Unbelievably big home-made breakfasts of delicious pastries An unspoilt village with interesting shops, such as a traditional weavers, an instrument maker and several cafes, one run byThe same family as the hotel with immensely generous portions of home cooked food. Lovely walks and within easy reach of fascinating historical sites

Amazing hospitality and breakfast!
If you want to be treated to an amazingly generous and authentic Greek experience go here. Parking could have been a bit tricky but we arrived early and it was fine. Everything else was great though. The breakfast was just incredible. If you go to this hotel you MUST also eat at Vegera restaurant nearby too in the evening. Also out of this world and amazing value. Loved our visit and were glad to have chosen this hotel rather than Ida which was a bit out of town and couldn't have been such a lovely experience.

guesthouse style accommodation
This is not a five star luxury resort it is a comfortable country hotel where the people are incredibly hospitable and friendly, the service is second to none and I would highly recommend it as an off the path getaway. The surrounding countryside is very beautiful with lots of things to see and do by car.

Superb Hospitality
This is the best family run hotel on Crete! The operators go out of their way to welcome their guests and the breakfast is spectacular and authentic as are the decorations of this great little place.

Warm Cretan Hospitality
If you are looking for a true Cretan experience, this is the place to stay! From the moment we arrived at Keramos we were greeted by the warmth & generosity of a family that loves to welcome you into their home. From the coffee & scones on arrival to Grandmas famous pastries at breakfast. Extras are packed into a bag to take for a picnic. Zaros is a little hidden gem. Mountain walks or short drives to beautiful beaches. Vivvi's little restaurant around the corner "Vergara" is another highlight. Cretan food at its best!

Great!
Brilliant hotel! Really homely & comfortable. Extremely friendly too. The only downside is that the village Zaros itself is a bit of a drive from the island's attractions (although the Vegeta Taverna, just round the corner from the hotel, is superb - authentic, delicious, cheap and very welcoming!)

Great Find!
While the town of Zaros is not a major destination on the island of Crete, this hotel/guesthouse makes it worth a stop over for a night. Be treated to genuine Cretan hospitality with a beautiful facility and unforgettable house-made breakfast. Visit nearby restaurant Vengera for a memorable dinner.

A great village experience
This hotel is a gem in a cute little mountain town. The owner, Katarina, is a sweet and friendly lady, as well as the rest of the staff. Katarina does not speak any English, but communication did not seem to be a problem. The other staff does speak English. Our room was quite roomy, with a beautiful view from our terrace overlooking the valley. We were awoken one morning from the baking coming from the kitchen, that would be our breakfast. The breakfast is amazing, and huge. What you can't finish, the staff provides you with a take away bag to put your leftovers in for lunch. When we came in the evening, Katarina provided us with beverages, watermelon, candied fruit, nuts & Ouzo. She was amazing, and felt like a mom to us. This hotel is very well signed, when driving in to town there are signs guiding you to the hotel, and that was very helpful. It was a quiet hotel, and very restful. Any one choosing to stay here would not be disappointed, and will get an excellent value for their dollar.

The warmest welcome from Velina, Michalis & family
Velina & Michalis make you feel like home from the very first seconds you get at Keramos. Breakfast is a real treat & dinner at Vegera (the family's restaurant) is delicious traditional Cretan cuisine. Their family are the most welcoming and lovely people I've met in Greece in 15 years.

Gemytligt och trevligt hotell mitt i centrala Zaros. Bra utgångsläge även för utflykter i trakten. Mycket bra frukost och bekväma rum med inredning i gammal och traditionel kretansk stil. Rekomenderas och jag återkommer gärna.
