Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had a fantastic stay here. The departments are situated in a quiet location, only a few minutes walk from the beach. The staff are really welcoming and friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean.I will definitely be returning at a future date.

On arrival greeted by Stavros with a welcome ouzo and fresh fruit plate. He was a very accommo dating, friendly and informative host. Location good for all restaurants and bars but sufficiently away to be quiet and no noise. Our air conditioned studio room was at the back with a shaded terrace which was good during the week's heatwave of 37 degrees. Room cleaned with fresh towels and sheets each day which was excellent. Simple breakfast delivered to the room each morning. Free wifi too! We had a very relaxing 12 nights and would certainly return. One of our best holidays in Crete.

Really place to stay around Plakias. It's walking close to the sea but far enough to be peaceful! The owner was really nice with us. He was always very helpful and friendly. Anything we needed, he made sure to take care of it. The rooms are also great and clean. It was one of favorite place to stay in Greece. We surely recommend it to you! The wifi worked perfectly. Also, we recommend you to go to Preveli beach if you're around. It is really worth it (one of the greatest highlight of our trip in Greece!)

Genevieve and her partner are wonderful people, it was pleasure for the staff here at Emilia's to serve them. We thank them for the nice comments. We need to point out the recommendation by Genevieve for Preveli. It is one of the most famous and beautiful places in Greece, everyone needs to check it out!

We stayed at Emilia apartments during first half of August 2015. In short: - Apartments are positioned ideally, walking distance to the long and wonderful beach and to the centre of the Plakias village yet secluded. - Apartment we stayed in was built with enough civil engineering sense - windows and doors enabling natural air circulation so no air conditioning was needed during the night (one bedroom apartment on the first floor) - Kind lady ( I forgot her name, apologies) was bringing us breakfast to the room, there is something really hospitality defining (as opposed to large hotel industry like hospitality) - In addition, premise host 5 to 6 apartments - adds to peacefulness of the place As a conclusion, one of the few places I would like to visit again

This is a perfect place to to stay in Plakias, it is just off the main high street and a few minutes walk to the beach, shops and a wide variety of restaurants. The owner of the property is delightful and organised car hire for us from Heraklion airport to Plakias. The apartment is very clean with air conditioning and we had two balconies, perfect for breakfast/evening drinks, overlooking the garden and the great scenery.

We are most grateful for this family. They were to us very good and very polite. We provided to them an one bedroom apartment on the first floor and we are delighted to know that they liked it so much. We hope that we will see them again here at Plakias.

Simple, your off the grid. There's no tv, no radio, no nothing. Just a very nice weather with a nice place to stay at. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top, just a genuine nice place with a very nice host. You are 3 minutes of walking distance from the village. A supermarket 3 minutes walk away. However, the owner who says is an IT architect previously been working in London....promises that he will fix the wifi all over the house! Take his word for it! Seriously, the price is right, nice breakfast, helpful staff. Off the street, could be hard to find even though it's right there. If I go back, I'll book this place.

We thank Ruzdi very much indeed for his nice words about Emila in Plakias. Ruzdi has been a gentleman during his stay with us. It was a pleasure to serve him. As Ruzdi mentioned we are looking to upgrade our wifi reception to the far corners of the upper floor. A wifi extension though must be designed carefully and get the right devices, otherwise the system will have a bad bottleneck form the extensions to the central point and instead of serving properly the guests, more delays may occur.

Travelling through Crete in the last month, managed to get the last available studio at the Emillia Apartments. The accommodation was just what we needed, quiet but close to the centre of Plakias. There was hot water all the time (even although it had rained our first evening!!) and Joanna was very friendly and helpful. Well priced too - what more could you want!

We are very pleased to hear these kind words from our guests, specially when all of the staff here at Emilia's in Plakias try hard to serve our guests in order to provide the most enjoyable holidays that is possible. As our guest kindly mentioned, we supply hot water 24 hours based mainly on solar energy. When sunlight is not enough the electric system kicks in to keep the water hot. Thanks once more to our lovely guests.

We have been before in Plakias, we like it and we thought to go again last summer. Me and my fiance booked Emilia's through the Internet at a very good price. But even better we found out, in one week that we stayed in September 2012 that was the best place we have ever rent in Plakias. The room was kept remarkably clean at all the time and the service was remarkable. Plenty of taverns are only 5 minutes walk. We certainly recommend it to any one and especially to couples.

Lisan and I (Nick) decided last summer to go to Crete for our holiday, instead of to Spain. A friend told us about Emilia’s and we did not know what to expect when we arrived there. The two weeks in August of 2012 that we spent there were the best weeks of our lives. Everything was remarkable. The place was clean all the time, the service was wonderful even though some times we had to use sign language! The beach was only 3 minutes away and we swam for hours every day in the crystal clear waters.
