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.

Greek Idyll
My daughter rented these villas last summer for our large family group and she could not have chosen better. The villas were fantastic, spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Each one has its own swimming pool and patio area and you can have privacy yet be close to the village. The village itself was a delight and we sampled the local delicious Greek food. Thanks to the villas and the location it was one of the best holidays we have ever had and we would love to go back sometime.

Fantastic Villas with Excellent Facilities & Services in a Perfect Location
We first found these villas in September 2010, when we stayed in Villa Artemis. We enjoyed our time there so much, we returned again this year, with our extended family, and chose Villa Ariadne. The villas are part of a small group of five villas just outside of the village of Gavalochori, a small traditional Cretan village, with a few shops, including an INKA mini market and a lovely bakery. There are also a few restaurants - Gavalianos Kafenes, is very good and excellent value for money. Villa Artemis and Villa Ariadne both have two swimming pools - a lap pool which the adults used and a smaller pool, ideal for children to swim and play in. There are plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas, so it is easy to get shade when the day gets very hot and the owner also supplies sun towels, so no need to pack these. The kitchen in both villas were fully equipped which made eating in very easy and convenient for a larger group. There are two master bedrooms both en-suite and two twin bedrooms with share a bathroom - with plenty of towels. The villas are exceptionally clean - a wonderful lady called Mrs Froso calls every day and will help with anything you need. We were arriving late on the first day and wanted to have some items for breakfast the following morning - the owner said 'just send a list' and Mrs Froso got us everything we requested. The villas are exactly as described on the owner's website - so you can rely on the photos and facilities listed being available. The owner, Christos Skalkos, is very accommodating, responding quickly to emails, with nothing being a problem. If you are looking for a location, where you wake to the sound of roosters in the morning, look out on mountains during the day and enjoy listening to the crickets in the evening, all in five star luxury, then the Apokoron villas are for you.

Presque très bien
Dans une partie de la crète pas très touristique (et tant mieux) mais pas trop éloignée des grands centres (Chania...), la villa est située dans un petit village de montagne charmant. Le complexe regroupe plusieurs par une route privée sublime. Les villas sont indépendantes et il n'y a pas de nuisances des autres voisins. La maison est très vaste et habilement décoré. Les 2 piscines sont très belles et l'eau très agréable. La vue donne sur la montagne et offre de jolis couchés de soleil. Les équipements high tech sont nombreux (wifi/ machine à laver/ TV/ PS2, DVD/ cable) en revanche les ustensiles de cuisine sont vieux et pas assez nombreux (casseroles et poèles usées, peu de plats, Barbecue gaz très très vieux...) La cuisine d'ailleurs n'est pas fonctionelle. Les équipements extérieurs (transats) sont en partie renouvelés et c'est dommage. Le salon extérieur est également dans un état limite qui tranche avec le standing de la maison. Bref, une impression générale positive contrebalancé par une certaine vetusté des équipements.

About the neighbourhood
Gavalohori is a traditional Cretan village situated in the Apokoron region about 3km inland from the coastal village of Almirida. Gavalohori is an old historical village with approximately 500 residents. It is a typical Cretan village with a small square where a coffee shop, a bakery, a mini mart, two tavernas and other convenient stores can be found. Several narrow streets branch off its center and one could wander through several interesting sections of this officially protected village. Stone built houses with lovely backyards full of colorful flowers can be found. A lot of interesting buildings can be seen, such as the 18th century two-roomed, arched olive oil press, the temples of Panagia and Agios Sergios, the old school, and the historical folk art museum. Within a short distance (5km) from tranquil Gavalohori one can drive to Almirida, a picturesque coastal village. You may dine there in one of several seaside tavernas or relax sipping your drink by a bar during sunset.
