Guest Reviews
- Sandra (1/5): It is a complete scam. Read the negative reviews. To begin with, it does not take much intelligence to realize that all - It is a complete scam. Read the negative reviews.
To begin with, it does not take much intelligence to realize that all the positive reviews are fake or purchased. There was no signage to find the place, and we had to wait for Joshua to let us in. The outside area was dirty, which already created a very bad first impression.
Inside, there was an overwhelming smell of dampness—you could barely breathe. All the beds were humid due to a lack of ventilation. We stayed for about 15 minutes, but out of desperation we had to book another hotel. The place is truly unlivable. In those 15 minutes, we noticed something extremely disturbing: all the pillows were covered in mold.
It is unacceptable that someone has the audacity to advertise a place in such poor condition. It is a risk to the health of anyone who books in good faith. We called the manager to express our discomfort, and his response was completely disappointing: “turn on the dehumidifier.”
We lost 300 euros as a family. The worst place I have ever seen. DO NOT STAY HERE. It is a complete scam. Read the negative reviews.

- Rozas Castillo de Sarmiento (5/5): Advertencia!!! - El alojamiento Lucia bonito de acuerdo a las fotos. El acceso es difícil pues cuenta con una rampa mal hecha que malogra las maletas y no había una buena señalización,tan es así que el trasladista no encontraba el hotel
- Athayx (10/5): - Stayed here and rooms where great. About a 10 minute to the center. As with many islands a couple of uphills to navigate.
Youssef was very helpful throughout the stay, organising transfers, meeting us as we checked in, providing us great recommendations and also booking a sunset tour.
- Fentane (10/5): - Very clean and host attentive and very caring
- Bejara (10/5): - We absolutely loved everything about the accommodation. The best thing was undoubtedly Youssef, the host, who is attentive to everything and makes it easy for you so that you don't lack anything on the island. A 10.
- Anaie (10/5): - We had a memorable experience and loved all the details of the property.
It is a very unique suite, the style and decoration of the room of is amazing. We were surprised with all the details of the project
- Zara (10/5): Amazing location and lovely host, 5 stars! - Beautiful accomodation, great outside area.
Short walk up hill to Main Street of restaurants.
Youssef was an absolute delight! Shared so much information and insights, great tips about the island and really went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful time and made the most of it. Amazing host and location, would absolutely recommend!
- Jennifer (10/5): Our time at Petuna Cave Suites was magical! - Our time at Petuna Cave Suites was magical!
The suite itself was breathtaking—a perfect blend of traditional Cycladic architecture and modern luxury. The cave-style design gave it a unique charm, and the interiors were beautifully decorated with attention to every detail. Our suite was immaculately clean, spacious, and featured all the amenities we could have hoped for, including a super comfortable bed and a luxurious bathroom.
A special thanks to Yussef, the incredible host who made our stay so effortless. He went above and beyond to introduce us to the best restaurants and attractions, arranged transportation when everything was closed, and even spoiled us with delightful surprises.
The location was peaceful yet close enough to explore Santorini with ease. Whether you’re visiting Santorini for a romantic getaway or simply to experience the island’s beauty, this is the place to stay. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so memorable. We can’t wait to return!
- Matthew (10/5): Highlight of our Fira trip! - Youssef went above and beyond for his guests, greeting them as they arrive and providing a list of recommendations to make our stay in Fira the best it can be. The location of the accomodation was only a few mins walk from Fira. The cave was also so clean, gorgeous and spacious. It is rare these days to meet someone like Youssef who really puts their guests needs above anything else. Petuna Cave will forever be deep in our hearts.
- Robert (10/5): Youssef our host was a star, the place is located so close to the Fira centre - The place is very well designed and feels so nice. We arrived late evening and it was raining so finding the reception took a bit of time but once we met Youssef our host things were just smooth from there. He was very friendly and gave us all useful information about Santorini. He was also always available on messages for any help we needed.

- Fonder (10/5): Peaceful Cave Escape in Santorini Style - Petuna suite was a lovely and relaxing place to stay. We loved the cave feeling because it felt authentic and connected to old Santorini. Youssef welcomed us warmly and was always available when we needed anything.
- Fernando (10/5): Authentic Cave Stay With Great Hospitality - Staying at Cave suite felt like stepping into the older side of Santorini. The cave design was charming, calm, and different from a normal hotel room. Youssef was very kind and helped make the stay easy and comfortable.
- Michelle Auglend (5/5): A very nice room with good facilities, near the city senter, and a very helpfull host. But the room is to humid… - It was a really nice room, with lots of space, and two bathrooms. The design is great, and the room itself is really nice. We had everything we needed, and it was very near the city center:)
Youssef replied fast and was very helpful with both guided tours and transport. We landed early, so he arranged for us to get an early checkin!
The terrace had sun all day, which was very nice ☀️ The room is incredibly humid, and smells bad. It feels like staying in a terrarium. The towels never dried, the toiletpaper crumbled, we slept bad, and the bathrooms smell like mold. Our postcards, books and even passports got damaged from the moisture.
This was unfortunately something that really pulled down the ranking for us, as it made it very uncomfortable to be in the room, and difficult to get a good night's sleep.
- Davide (10/5): - I really love this cave experience, the cave smell reminds you the old years
- Mbambi (10/5): - Me and my family stay here
amazing cave, reminds me the old santorini how it used to be
as i was travel before in santorini 1983, this place is a must for people need to feel the real santorini

- Lora (10/5): Got this place to explore Santorini for my mom’s 50th birthday. Exceeded our expectations. - The host is extremely accommodating and responsive. There is a cleaner who comes in everyday and does a fantastic job. It made us very happy to return to the suite everyday after a full day of sightseeing.
The place itself has a very cool cave aesthetic, and is walking distance to the Fira city center.
- Mohammed (10/5): - Amazing host - Youssef was super helpful no matter when I reached out to him. He helped us with quite a few food recommendations and attraction details as well. Place was great, clean and cozy. Wish we could have stayed longer.
- Jama (10/5): Amei a recepção de Youssef! - Tudo foi extremamente maravilhoso! Youssef foi simplesmente atencioso, na suíte tinha de tudooooo! E a primeira vez que vamos em um hotel que está completamente preparado para receber os hóspedes…
- Kwayera (10/5): Quirky, fab spot - Bright, quirky and exceptionally clean. It was a lovely base to travel around the island.
Youssef and his team was very attentive.
We had mixed weather so it was nice to have our own place as we were staying with kids.
- Casse (10/5): We would not hesitate recommending Petuna Caves - you will not be disappointed!! - The Accomodation and experience at Petuna Cave was even better than we expected. We stayed in the Apartment(2 adults and 11 year old) and it was amazing - it was exceptionally clean with stylish decor and enough space for us. Location was perfect - everything just a short walk away!
Youssef (our host) and his staff just topped off the experience. Communication was amazing, he arranged our transport from the port and met us on arrival at the suits. We arrived early and he arranged the suite to be ready for us (prior to usual check in time) and welcomed us - a beautiful touch. He provided great recommendations of activities to do and also dining options - which we tried almost all and were not disappointed.
We would not hesitate recommending Petuna Caves - you will not be disappointed!!
- Rachel (5/5): Good location but be prepared to climb. Overall we loved the camping feeling. - The design was quirky - the bed layout was communal but cute. The view was amazing from the stairs above the accommodation. The downstairs bathroom was large but the upstairs was for super short people. Great bench space It was a difficult walk to the main areas. Lots of climbing. It needed more amenities - sound proofing was bad internally - everything was echoing inside. Not enough cutlery etc for the guests staying and they were not cleaned. No microwave or washing liquid for the dishes. No top sheet for the single beds. No shower heads in either bathrooms - hand held shower only. Little amenities for the number of guests. Hard to lock and unlock the door. If you want daily cleaning it’s €5 extra.
- Melnik (1/5): Rating: 1/10 - Its nothing The worst experience in 20 years of travelling.
The property did not match its description — we were moved to a different unit that was not fit to live in. During our stay: flooding, no hot water, cockroaches on the bed, constant noise, dirt, unclean bed linen, and a complete lack of basic necessities.
The manager initially promised to resolve the issues, then stopped responding altogether.
Our group of 5 people has filed official complaints with supporting photo and video evidence to the European Consumer Protection organisation. Reviews will also be posted on Google Maps and other platforms. Unfortunately I have mostly video, that I can’t share here, but you could find them later in google maps with more details.
- margot (5/5): Smelly and weird - I didn’t stay there because it was much rougher than expected. The quality does not match the pictures. There was a horrible smell. I don’t know if it was sewer or mold. I tried to air it out but that let a lot of bugs in. The electricity didn’t work and I had to wait there for the electrician by myself and my phone was out of battery. It’s in a weird area and Google Maps doesn’t find it. I wanted my money back. At least one night but they said no. The manager suggested I try to tell booking that my flight was canceled to get my money back. Next time just do the right thing.

- Damme (5/5): Hope booking.com see my review, Did not trust the booking.com platform for double booking. - This property was booked for 2 bedrooms and 2 toilets. When we went there we were offered 2 BR with 1 toilet. We had a long argument with the manager and we had no option staying the first night in the 2BR/1B. We wanted to understand how was it double booked? Manager Yousef had no idea or blame booking.com?? But this is bit doggy. We were offered the correct accommodation next night. But the apartment was not cleaned properly. The room’s does not have doors it is open plan, no privacy. The facility does not have many basic facilities. Too many steps to climb up and down to the apartment. I was given a €4 refund and my booking was cancelled saying that I have not arrived at the apartment??? Maybe to avoid reviews? We were given an option to cancel booking for a full refund asked us to find a different place in an unknown destination.
- John Kenneth (10/5): -
- George (10/5): - Absolutely everything, highlighting the hospitality of the hosts, Youssef a charming person, we had to go to the doctor for an ear problem and he managed it directly, he took us and was with us at all times, apart from that, the cave house is great, spacious and with two large bathrooms, there are three steps from the entrance door to the house in short, highly, highly recommended this fantastic cave house.
- Chris (10/5): - The host is absolutely lovely. He does everything to make your life simple. He is punctual and helpful. The room is spacious and really beautiful. In short, a joy.
- VILLER (9/5): -
- Mark (10/5): - Our stay in Santorini was unforgettable, largely thanks to this hotel’s unique charm and spotless rooms that had everything we needed.
The highlight was the owner’s incredible hospitality. He personally provided cab services at very reasonable rates, which made getting around so easy, especially during the off-season.
We felt so well taken care of from start to finish and can’t recommend this place enough .
