My first criticism, all be it not a big one is the food. The food that the hotel serve is not for me. The evening dinner food is warm to cold. It has a wide selection but overall the food isnt for me. Which isn't an issue. The main problem I have is the condition the animal at the hotel "zoo" are kept in. Although these are probably kept within Greek animal regulations, I am not happy in the slightest with going to see the horses and being greeted by a lovely but very lonely looking dog. The dog seems well, eyes are bright, but undoubtedly has mange and has a serious flea problem. I've been to see the dog every day of my visit and my heart bleeds for him every time I see him. I've spent more time that I usually would at a "zoo" as I've been sat with this dog I have affectionately and aptly named "scruff". He is an adorable dog and it will be incredibly hard to leave him as he is really suffering with the above issues and he is stuck inside a pony enclosure, he is filthy dirty and partially shaved due to flea and tick issues.

I am a huge animal lover and the other animals are kept in relatively good conditions although due to the heat here in Crete, I wouldn't have thought they should have a lot more shade and water, of which they had very little of both.

Maybe I'm just too caring as I know the hotel will have to be checked frequently by the authorities for the welfare standards of the animals.

As a dog owner, seeing Scruff in this poor state makes me feel sick to my stomach and I would love to take him home with me. He is such a loving dog with a lovely personality. I wish I could keep him. Adorable dog. Please don't keep him in a pony enclosure for much longer. He needs a lot of love and attention as he is desperate for it.

Overall the hotel is lovely but the conditions of the animals isn't what I would call adequate. More

Food is a very low standard.
On the positive side it is a lovely location in the hills near Bali - short walk from Stone Village. The setting and grounds are wonderful.

  What a small gem hidden outside the main area of Bali. Staff are most accommodating, food is OK, not to my liking but you have to remember that... read more you cannot please everyone. Really quiet and relaxing.... But, the so called zoo is in need of a complete overall. Animals seem ok however I have concerns for a small dog that is in with the 2 small ponies. A loveable dog that desperately needs a good hair cut and flee treatment, beautiful little dog that
wants to play and be loved..
I hope that he can be moved out of there and see a vet as he could be a great dog to play with any children that stay there.
Overall I recommend staying at Stone Village, and would happily stay again, just please love that little dog..

  Visited with wife and son in August 2019. The place isn’t as big as it looks in the pictures. It’s a family endeavor and that is evident all around. The... read more hospitality is great, food is like sharing a meal with a local family, grounds are unpretentious yet beautiful in a rustic way with great landscaping. Family Room was nice and spacious if somewhat frayed at the edges but good spirit and helpful staff more than compensates for that. Feels like a place that is nice to you if you are nice and down to earth which to me is better than eagerness to please the customers no matter what. Good pricing completed a very nice experience for us all. Home made bottle of Tzipuro given to us as a farewell gift sealed our family appreciation of the Cretan proud hospitality. Yamas! More

When we stripped the beds the mattress was mouldy and grubby.We had to sleep on the floor that night.This was not good as I suffer from arthritis.We were told the matter would be dealt with in the morning.Morning came nobody here yet.went to the office,spoke to Sophie,she didn't know anything about it.poor communication.We we're offered another room,not happy with it due to location,overlooked by everybody.No apology yet at this point.We we're very disappointed with!..Customer service,they didn't have a clue.We made a decision to leave.Sophies best offer of condolence was to give us our money back for the two days we left early,no offer of any other compensation for all our inconveniences to date.I had to stand and argue my point for some time because she couldn't make a decision until she spoke to her father,who was on holiday in Athens.Why put her in charge and can't make any decisions.My point is she just couldn't see our upset and point i was making.In conclusion,eventually we were given 260 euro to pay for alternative accommodation at another hotel,which we had to go looking for our Selves,half our day was gone and our plans for that day ruined.The money was given half heartedly from her handbag,with a begrudging "thanks".Not professional guys,get your act sorted out,this is not the way to treat guests.Your hospitality skills are none existance.We were planning on coming back next year but that's not going to happen.I cannot recommend this resort!
