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.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Lovely people running an exceptional villa in Chania, Crete
This was our first visit to Crete and we couldn't have chosen anywhere better than Fos Villa. We are not regular AirBnB users but the standard set by Christini and Kostas would be hard to beat, in all ways. Genuinely very kind and hospitable, they couldn't do enough for us. They were very generous with their time and little (but very much appreciated) gifts that we received on arrival and during our visit. The house and pool are impeccable and spotless; the air conditioning works extremely well and was much needed on various days during our stay.
There was plenty of information on what there was to do around Xania and in town. Excellent restaurant recommendations although we did eat in a couple of times as the kitchen was very well equipped. Great showers and bathrooms throughout as well.
What a real find that we couldn't fault and which we absolutely loved. You must try it!

Traumhafte Villa
Die Villa ist genauso beeindruckend wie auf den Bildern dargestellt, ein architektonischer Leckerbissen. Der große Pool ist angenehm temperiert. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Es gibt ausreichend Parkplätze auf der Straße und in die Altstadt von Chania sind es nur ein paar Kilometer. Ein Minimarkt und ein paar gute Tavernen sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Eine Belegung mit 6 Erwachsenen ist optimal. Die aufmerksamen Gastgeber tun alles, um ihren Gästen einen wunderbaren Urlaub zu bereiten. Ich kann die Fos Villa uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Excellent
We booked Fos Villa as a group of six. It was a family trip for a joint birthday.
Everything was stunning and surpassed our expectations. Kostas very helpful to me before we arrived, arranging transfers and sharing advice. He and Christini were very kind to us; providing a welcome pack and even a gift for my parents (it was their birthday trip). Christini also sent us beautiful food a couple of times during our stay.
The house itself is amazing. It's comfortable, has loads of space and is beautifully designed. It's within walking distance to a small village with a grocery shop, cafe, bakery and butcher. There's also a lovely beach a short 20 minute walk away. Chania town is 10/15 mins by taxi and is very nice.
We had a fantastic stay and highly recommend Fos Villa.

Une belle maison d’Architecte
Une magnifique maison. Simple, chic, fonctionnelle et toute récente.
Lits très confortables et salles de bain parfaites.
Les hôtes sont d’une gentillesse et d’une disponibilité parfaites pour des touristes en visite.
Située à 10 minutes du vieux Chania, là où toute l’action se déroule en soirée.
Bon choix sans hésiter.

Amazing stay at Fos Villa!! Have to go again!!
Rented Fos Villa for my family of 5 with friends (9 person in total)
Arrived and met the owner Kostas, who is very friendly and resourceful. Explained everything we needed to know about the house, and even left us amazing food cooked by his mother! And sent us right away by e-mail multiple recommandations for things to do, markets to go to and restaurants to try. Went to a few of them and were amazing. During all our stay, was always available for questions.
Now about the house, one word: incredible. Felt at home right away...
Brand new (1 year old), clean and contemporary. 4 stories (!!) with 5 bedrooms. Small but convenient and functional kitchen, nice and spacious dining room. Big living room with confortable sofa, nice TV and satellite dish plus Netflix. 3 full baths with shower, plus another bathroom. A/C everywhere; washer/drier in the basement.
Outside, coal BBQ with dining table for 6; chairs everywhere and finally extraordinary pool. Very nice landscaping. And finally a super soccer court across the street, the kids spent all afternoons playing...
In short, amazing stay in an amazing villa. Cant wait to go again!
Thanks Kostas!

Sensational!
Wow! What a fabulous place. We stayed a week at Fos Villa at the end May with our 4 adult children (in their 30’s) and 2 partners. The house has 5 bedrooms so we were easily accommodated.
On arrival our hosts, Kostas and Christini, met us and explained the ins and outs of the house. It is architect-designed (by Christini) and makes the most of all the space. With 8 adults you need space!
Everything we could possibly need was provided. I’m talking about tea, coffee (filter and pods), bread, rusks, muesli, jam, down to tissues and plenty of toilet paper! We could just move in and not have to rush out to the supermarket. They even provided dinner - cheese and honey, home made cheese and spinach pastries and a big dish of stuffed peppers and tomatoes. Yum! Enough for 8 and particularly good for us as we had 3 vegetarians with us.
I can’t praise this place too much; everything about it is beautifully done. The warm pool, the sun lounges and outside eating area that we thoroughly enjoyed, down to the beautiful rooms and 4 bathrooms. Kostas and Christini were always available with suggestions on what to do and any minor house queries we had.
It is within easy access to Chania and driving distance to other western Crete attractions, like Samaria Gorge and the beautiful beaches. It also has plenty of good restaurants within easy walking distance. We had a car that we were easily able to park in front of the villa.
We have loved our stay at Fos Villa and would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Crete.

Luxurious and Peaceful
We absolutely LOVED this villa- it suited us down to the ground. Spacious, remote and private. If you are sick and tired of crowds around you, this is definitely for you. Let's assume, you live in a house where everything is set up according to your needs. And you would like to take this house to your vacation trip. And relax completely in this comfortable house, made with some bit of good taste. The place is unique because you have both possibilities - you can spend as much time as you want alone or you can walk 100 meters and find yourself among friendly people of the village with tidy tavern right up the street.
If some small problems arise, it can be easily solved by the amazing owners Kostas and Christina who made these 2 weeks into a dreamy vacation with their attention and care.
WE WILL BE BACK!!

Amazing House, Amazing Hosts
Our stay at Fos Villa was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived we were very impressed with the house - not only is it brand new but it is extremely well designed and appointed with all the conveniences to provide for a perfect holiday.
The hosts, Konstantinos and Christini, were there to greet us upon arrival and show us around the home. Their 'welcome pack' was by far the best we have ever experienced when renting a holiday home. It included fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, spreads, cheese, yogurt, snacks, beer and much, much more.
The house is extremely well designed and finished to a very high standard. Our group consisted of two families - 4 adults and 5 children in total - and there were ample bedrooms and bathrooms and more than enough living space for everyone.
The outdoor area is also very well designed and the pool is an excellent size - the children loved it!
I can not speak highly enough about the hosts Konstantinos and Christini. Even before arriving, they were in constant contact to understand if there was anything more they could do to prepare the property for us to make sure our stay would be perfect. Throughout the stay, if there was anything we needed they were only more than willing to help. They provided excellent recommendations of what to do and where to go locally which was a great help. Their hospitality can not be described in words. Even though we did not request it, they provided us with home cooked meals on a couple of occasions. One evening, they brought us a full tray of gemista that their parents had prepared - and I have to say they were possibly some of the best gemista I have ever eaten. Such lovely people.
There are some small, local shops within walking distance where you can source supplies. Alternatively, there are a couple of large supermarkets within a few minutes drive.
I would definitely stay at Fos Villa again and would highly recommend it.

Really fantastic vacation week!
We (all 10 of us, 3 generations ranging in age from 80 to 3) absolutely enjoyed our vacation at Fos(Light) Villa. Our hosts made us feel so welcome from the word GO!
They had stocked the refrigerator and had prepared a delicious meal of traditional stuffed peppers, tomatoes, courgette flowers and rolled grape leaves!! It all went so well with the bottle of wine!! The location in Galatas Village (10 minutes from Chania port) was super convenient. We would do day trips in the area and come home in the early evening to a beautiful pool where all enjoyed the setting sun. An extra perk was the taverna next door where everyone found a dish they loved. Kostas and Christini were super hosts. We recommend this beautiful house to one and all: a group wishing for a lovely setting, a multiply generation family or a couple of families wanting to spend some vacation time together! Loved it and hope we shall be able to visit again!
