My girlfriend and I panned a 10 day trip to Greece and stayed in Santorini for 4/5 days. We were interested in experiencing the cave homes for the first time and found Cavelands to be reasonable for the location.
The location was extremely convenient for us as we had planned our santorini trip with visits to Oia and the Black Sand Beach. It was right in the middle so it was not to far of a drive to either ends of the island. We were less than 5 minutes drive to Fira the main tourist attraction in santorini for day and night. Renting in Fira was a bit too expensive for our budget and we were happy we were not right in Fira as it could be crowded and loud. Renting an ATV is highly recommended if you want to explore all of Santorini as waiting for the bus could be time consuming.
With that said, although Cavelands was a great and convenient spot for our stay, our overall experience wasn't the greatest. This is definitely a hostel and not recommended for those who care for cleanliness. When we first arrived at Cavelands, the receptionist did not provide the greatest greeting and seems uninterested in the questions we had. When we entered our room, the picture did reflect the place but add a bit more odour and "un-cleanliness" to it. I guess this is what cave homes are like.... The AC hardly worked and was dripping of water and the washroom was extremly creepy, dark and killer movie like, you would definitely need to bring sandals when you are in the shower. The linens were rough and felt uncomfortable to sleep with.
Lastly, fortunately or some may say fortunately, on our last day the water system broke so we were unable to shower and we were not inform of this until I had message the host which I understand was not her fault and she did apologize for the inconvenience.
Overall I left Caveland feeling grateful for a clean shower and a comfortable bed, which our next stay in mykonos has provided.
I would recommend this place for those who are use to hostels and don't care too much for their accommodation or else it would be a bit of a disappointment.
