The main fing is that the apartment are very high up the hill, but if you have car - this is no problem.

Great place to stay, with a warm and friendly welcome from the owner. Hot waffles and raki as welcome presents. Beautyful view to the sea, sunset and milkyway. Adventures road to reach the apartment. We enjoyed the stay in our well equipped place. We will come back 😊

The view from the balcony was nice and the hosts were extremely accommodating. They brought us Raki and dessert (ice cream and chocolate waffles) our first night. Highly recommend!

it is a nice and comfortable place. The balcony has a beautiful view to the sea. The staff was really nice and kind.

It is up high on the mountain and the road there is very steep and narrow. It was quite stressful to drive up with a big car. The wifi did not work sometimes.

Beautiful view from the balcony, the owners were so helpful, generous & kind.

Steep drive to walk up.

The apartment was spacious and equipped with everything anyone needs. It was very clean. The view was very nice. Our host Aspasia offered great hospitality.

Location and structure

Mrs Aspasia was the best host we could have hoped for. She had home made Cretan raki waiting for us on arrival, a bottle of cool water in the fridge and everything we needed to settle in. She even gave us a small bottle of raki on departure. True spirit of Cretan hospitality, very rare to find in holiday destinations.

It was a bit of an exercise to walk up to the room from the beach but we didnt mind even having to carry a 6 month old baby with us. It felt so special to have this magnificent view from our balcony.

We enjoyed so much our stay in Polyrizos, it was the perfect choice for us. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful place in Crete, not overcrowded with tourists but with some comfort for a family with two young children. And we found it at Golden Sun! The apartment is big, with a living room with a fully-equipped kitchenette, two sofa beds, a table and all you may need to feel at home, plus a big bedroom with a king size bed. And a bathroom. Both the rooms have a wonderful sea view and the apartment is completely surrounded by olive trees. We could sleep hearing the sound of the waves, and sheep bleating! There is a big terrace with table and chairs so we have eaten outside every day! The lady is friendly and helpful, she lives in the first of the six apartments at Golden Sun so it's always available for any thing you may need, and she offered us a welcome treat at our arrival and other treats during our stay!! Our children could also play a lot with her granddaughter and the terrace in front of the apartments is perfect for them! She cleans the apartment everyday and changes towels and bedsheets every two day (although for us it was not so needed so we asked not to do so so often, also for environmental responsibility). That's a hotel comfort service!! To reach Golden Sun you have to climb a steep but short road that starts near the sea and ends after a turn. At first we thought our car couldn't do it but no problem at all (we just switched off the air conditioning so to have a little more power!!). The bay in Polyrizos is perfect for a family. There are five or more tavernas and cafés, all with superb food and really cheap prices, all with friendly staff and enjoyable gardens. The beach is sandy and the water shallow, with sandy seabed too. There are umbrellas and beach chairs provided by two cafés almond the road, one offers them at 6 euros for the day, while the other offers them free with a drink at their café.

Just some leaking from the shower

Nice big room with 3 beds and fully equipped if you are travelling as a self catering family...very good value for money...thank you

Beautiful apartment overlooking the bay, relaxing and has everything you need. I had an end quad room which was very private. My dog was also welcome to stay. Aspasia is a lovely generous host.

Everything was perfect. We have loved this place, the owner, the atmosfere.

cozy apartment with a little kitchen and a balcony with the view to the ocean. very friendly and helpful host! the house is and the end of a steep way, you can drive with the car or you have already done your daily sports program (just 5-10 minuten to go up from the sea)

We stayed for one week in this big apartment. It was a lovely welcome even though it was almost midnight. Easy and fast communication. Good recommendations. How could it be a bad day if your breakfast at the balcony starts with a nice view over the sea and the cliffs?

Superb location. Perfect conditions and extreme kindness.

Lack of storage space. Difficult access, but needs to be improved in November.

Everything was great. We were surprised how beautiful the view is. The room was really good and the owner was just so nice and welcoming. The best room in Crete. We loved everything.

Everything was great.

Magical owner and her dog Luna, who loves all tourists and sea. Beautiful apartement with famous view on the sea. Totally peace and privacy for romantic souls. Excellent taverns within reach.

The location is fantastic and you have sea view from both the living room and the bedroom! The apartment is spacious and the bed is very comfy. You could hear the sound of the waves from your bedroom! The balcony is spacious and the view is incredible. Such a calm and relaxing place. The south coast of Crete is amazing. The host was super kind and friendly. The kitchen was perfect; there is a large refrigerator and freezer and there were enough kitchen utensils to prepare a simple meal, the knifes were sharp. The bathroom had a good shower with nice hot water and good pressure. The apartment was clean and bed linens and towels were changed every two days! There is a good air conditioning system but we didn't use it much. We really recommend this accommodation!

Nothing

Nice place, amazing view, lovely and helpful host (we even get waffles from her)

The view, clean place, great value for the price, bedroom is really nice, close to the beach, we had a waffle and raki offering, can't be better deal, and if I could put more than 10 I would do it!

Nothing

nice apartment with good equipment. nice view from the balcony. friendly owner. good price

booking.com and google maps misdirect to the apartments. the access road is from the beach (be careful as it's very steep)

The host was great and helpful. The room was very clean and cosy.

The road was uphill with a steep slope and it was difficult for the car to arrive.

Very quiet place with a beautiful view from the apartment. The host was very friendly and hospitable.
