Guest Reviews

Vi (8/5): - Beautiful location with easy access to locations such as restaurants and local shopping. Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable providing excellent recommendations for local activities and dining.
Aaron (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and place was great with a nice view
Paulo (10/5): Outstanding place - It was an amazing place. We were fortunate to receiving an upgrade at no cost. Great location walkable to all places. Would definitely recommend.
MEGAN (8/5): - Santorini is steep, so be prepared to walk up and downhill, where ever you may be going! Hotel and staff were lovely, but we requested our laundry be done, delivered our bag around 10am, and were told we would get our clothes back by 3pm, and we didn’t receive it until 9:45pm!
Maryanne (10/5): - Great stay with a dream view—absolutely unreal and the highlight of our trip. We booked the Caldera Suite with in-room hot jacuzzi and loved the spacious, unique room. The balcony had a great setup with a table and lounge chair—perfect for relaxing. We traveled with our 1-year-old, and the staff were so accommodating, providing a baby bed and high chair. They also welcomed us with a meal and coffees, arranged transfers, and allowed early check-in, which made everything so smooth. It’s about a 15-minute walk to Fira; not many restaurants right nearby, but a few options plus shops and a mini market. Breakfast isn’t included but was nice to try one morning (€10–15/person). Overall, a unique stay with outstanding service and an unforgettable view!
Matthew (10/5): - Great central location high up on the rim of the caldera looking down on the beautiful white buildings and blue pools. The only thing .issing was an onsite pool.
Minyan (10/5): - It’s a very nice hotel with friendly staff and wonderful view. I highly recommend this hotel.
Ofhelia (10/5): - Staff were so friendly and very accommodating. Christina was so helpful.
Lynden (8/5): - This property was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One downside is there is no restaurant or other dining facilities on property. There were, however, a number of places in close walking proximity. The only "problem" I had with the hotel was access to the Reception check-in area was down too many steps and so access to and from the room with the bags was extremely difficult. It's best to travel light when staying there. All in all, I would definitely recommend this property to others.
Johnathan (8/5): - Views are amazing. Room was not clean and bathroom had mold. Some ants in room. But for the most part it was great
Lori (10/5): - Blue Dolphins Apartments & Suites is the perfect place to stay when visiting Santorini. We stayed in the "honeymoon suite" with the hot tub on the balcony overlooking the caldera and it was gorgeous. My adult children stayed in the "Cave House" and they loved it. The views were amazing and the location is perfect. There are so many dining options within walking distance and the breakfast provided by the hotel was delicious. The staff is very kind, helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay there perfect. I read a lot of comments in the reviews about the many stairs within the hotel and I was surprised when I arrived that the stairs are even mentioned at all. Yes, there are many stairs but there is a narrow ramp next to the stairs that is the perfect size to accommodate rolling your suitcase on, freeing you up from having to carry your luggage. Some of the rooms do not require you walking down any stairs to access them. My advice is to have one member of your party walk empty handed to the reception area to check in and receive your room key and location, possibly avoiding moving luggage down any stairs. And frankly, if you or anyone in your party can not manage a lot of stairs then Santorini might not be the best destination because the many stairs are not restricted to this hotel, they are everywhere on Santorini. We rented a car and there was always a free parking spot by the hotel. Overall I think this hotel is a 5 star hotel.
Chanel (10/5): - The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. Clean facility. Beautiful view. Perfect positioning.
Chandrashekar (2/5): Not a customer or budget friendly facility - The room smelled really bad like backed up sewage. We requested an alternate room and we were told they didn't have any. However when we called hotels.com and complained, the facility magically found another room. Also it claims we can see sunset, but there is a facility right infront that blocks the view so cant really see any sunset. We had requested info regarding stairs in the facility. we were told there were able 10 stairs, which turned out way more than that.
Athina (10/5): - I had such a lovely stay at Blue Dolphins! The romantic suite was beautiful, and had a such an amazing view of the sunset every night from my balcony! The room itself was nicely set up and clean. Christina was so helpful in answering my questions and providing support when needed, along with recommending some eateries nearby. My only feedback is that the breakfast could be better, given that it costs an additional $15 per day. But do appreciate the breakfast being delivered and picked up from my room. I will definitely be staying here again and recommend to others!
Susanne (10/5): Perfect Spot - Loved Blue Dolphins. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice suite room with a beautiful view. Great location.
Edith (10/5): 10 stars - Amazing experience, beautiful views. Yanni at the reception is my person, he was so kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and made my stay more than I could have imagined. I felt cared for, like I was with family. This trip was everything and more. I will be back.
Uyen (2/5): Refused Refund/Credit for Earthquake - For weeks before and after our scheduled stay at Santorini, there were thousands of mini earthquakes around Santorini...ranging up to 5.8. There were travel advisories against visiting island and locals and tourists were vacating the island as precautions. Eventually a state of emergency was announced for Santorini. We requested a cancellation of our stay at Blue Dolphins due to the earthquake activities....but, however were not allowed refund or credit due to earthquakes.
Joanna (10/5): - The room was spacious, clean, and beautiful. My only concern was that one of the shower heads did not work. We needed to shower in one of the bathrooms. However, this was not a big deal at all.
Teresa (10/5): - The Blue Dolphin was so lovely. The view from our room was beautiful. They served us breakfast in our room each morning. The staff were so kind and helpful. The stay was a real treat!
Kaitlyn (10/5): - Staff were amazing and super friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault the views of the property. Only downside was the rooms had a funny smell due to limited ventilation.
Rob (8/5): - Fabulous sunset view from the balcony. The tap water tastes salty. We ended up using bottled water to make coffee. Breakfasts were huge. We couldn't finish them.
Keydy (10/5): - The staff was super helpful and so nice. Breakfast was included, and it was delicious!! They bring it to your room. We stayed in room 106 and our sunset was stunning. I will recommend 106 or 107 for amazing sunset views since are the highest room on this location. Room 107 has the best view!
Christina (8/5): Wonderful views, unique experience. - We stayed in the cave room. It had incredible views from the private patio. But there is no view from the room. We thought it would have a small view from the windows on the front doors, but those only look out to an enclosed patio. We spent most of the daytime on the patio, but it’s something to keep in mind if there during bad weather. The cave was a fun experience but smelled musty. It was super quiet because of the off season. I only saw 5-10 people near the hotel in 2 days! Beautiful walk to Fira. The breakfast was delicious, and they supplied gluten free breads and cookies. We arrived at 7pm and were surprised to see reception closed at 6pm. There was a note on the door for directions to the room, but it would have been nice if this were communicated before. Easy parking near the hotel. Overall we loved our time here.
Cheng Kuan (10/5): - As with most accommodations in Santorini, getting to it involves a lot of stairs. Good thing that the team has some muscles to assist with my luggage. Was not expecting breakfast but had a nice farewell meal. Friendly affectionate kitties are around to share the meal too
Karen (10/5): - Fantastic private balcony with great view (no need to go to Oia to watch the sunset - great from our own pbalcony), large room, great breakfast, girl on reception very friendly & helpful.
farnoosh (4/5): - Breakfast is ok with real orange juice but no milk! Just one mini tomato for each person! And apple-slices not fruit-salad! Too noisy and in the night. on/off non stop noise like a motor-sound/ turbine !!! At 7 am the stuff starting to prepare Breakfast too noisy! Small bed for two! 140 cm! Too expensive for that quality Not again!
Megan (10/5): - Blue Dolphins was amazing. The staff went out of their way to help us feel welcomed and comfortable, even providing an upgrade to a larger room with a private balcony, which we loved! The views cannot be beat and the location is perfect- quiet and not crowded.
Dennis (10/5): - Amazing views! And central location!
Lingerlyn (10/5): - Great place to stay. Walking distance to Fira where shops and parties at. Friendly staff.
Sarah Jane (10/5): Fabulous views and service - We loved this hotel! Amazing views from inside and out. Lots of stairs so not for you if you have mobility issues but we thought it was so special to be perched up on high overlooking the town. It would have been amazing with a pool but you can’t have everything! Great service and a delicious breakfast brought to your room was the highlight for our kids We had a good sized space for our family of four for 3 nights. We loved it
chandra (10/5): - Great location and had a lovely experience overall. Niki and the rest of the staff were so friendly and willing to help in anyway they can. People with trouble using stairs should be aware that the access to this property is via 25-30 stairs downhill from the road. I would book this again!
kylie (10/5): - First of all the staff there are amazing they went above and beyond looking afterbus and making sure we had everything we needed. The room was so comfortable and the views of course were amazing but i really loved how clean and modern the room felt and also the location of the resort
kylie (10/5): - I have had the most amazing time, i booked this hotel for my mums birthday and the staff went above and beyond making sure we saw everything and had an amazing time. We could not have asked for a better cast of people to look after us. Our room was also gorgeous we should mention as was the whole property
Gregory S (10/5): 3-nights in Santorini - Great location with great views.
Peter (10/5): - Service was outstanding! Staff was wonderful!
Michelle (10/5): - Blue dolphins was above and beyond! The honeymoon suite was so beautiful, the views are breath taking and the staff were so wonderful and accommodating and ensured our stay was as comfortable and as pleasant as possible. Breakfast was so delicious as well! Would recommend and would definitely come back here if we were to come back to Santorini.
Srikrishna (10/5): - The view from our balcony was spectacular. Service was great. Every staff member was professional and provided great information and support during our stay. Highly recommend this plan and do ask for room with best view .
Yong (10/5): - beautiful views, clean house, warm reception, nice experience.
Faaea (10/5): - We stayed in the honeymoon suite and the views were incredible from our terrace! The hot tub was perfect for the cold Winter Santorini days and the room was clean and comfortable. Free parking is available and it is an easy walk down to Fira. Just remember it's an uphill walk from Fira to Firostefani. Note the terrace isn't exactly private as other rooms and the main common area can look up/down onto the terrace, but we had a great stay nonetheless!
Jordan (10/5): - Very nice location and beautiful rooms with a nice views , came in February so no crowded areas
Alex (4/5): - Excellent view. Convenient location. Mould in the bathroom was significant.
Sabbir (10/5): - Everything was great
Geraldin (10/5): We want to come back - Very hospitable and kind staff. John was very attentive to our needs as well as the manager on the day of our arrival. We would love to visit again.
Olivia (10/5): - Reception was very kind and helpful. Beautiful views and easy walk into Fira.
jane ann catherine (8/5): - Staff very friendly & helpful. Close to Fira for shopping & close to good restaurants. Too expensive!
Annette (10/5): - Absolutely amazing property, thank you so much Niki and Christina (the receptionists) they were absolutely a delight. If I ever come back to santorini I will be staying here. Hands down the best holiday of my life because of these lovely ladies:) - Mikayla
tamara (10/5): - Everyone at Blue Dolphin was so friendly and welcoming. We were traveling with small children, so we loved that they had available parking, and the rooms were easy to get to. Part of our view was blocked by a building in front of our room, but the balcony was beautiful and had a great view of the cliffside (exactly as pictured on the website). The room was spacious and comfortable; a perfect fit for a family of four. It was also easy to walk to everything we needed. We loved our stay!
Santosh (10/5): Amazing Stay in Santorini - Beautiful view from the room. They gave us room with Private terrace with an amazing view. Breakfast was daily served at the room. Staff were well informed and helpful. Overall a wonderful stay in Santorini.
Prasad (10/5): - Great location, superb caldera views from the property, staff and service excellent. The bathroom floor remained wet, no matter how long it was unused, must be humid air. But be careful to avoid any slippery experience.
Andrea (10/5): Beautiful room with amazing staff! - Blue Dolphin apartments are beautiful. I loved all of the curvy lines and the room was excellent. The staff are super helpful and I really enjoyed my stay with the exception of the construction, which included a jack hammer, at 7 am. They explained that they have deadlines to get the construction done by a certain time so it made sense, but it might be good to offer a discount if you are going to have to put up with constant noise all day. It is so lovely though and completely perfect in every other way so I would still stay again noise and all.
Shao Hern (10/5): Good view of the volcanic island - Stayed 2 nights in this property - it is at the edge town of Firostefani which is sandwich between Thera and Imerovigli. The hotel (like many of the hotels in Santorini requires one to walk down/up the flag of stairs but as isn't too far from the main street thus it wasn't too much of a hike. Should one have big luggage, recommend to ring them up to assist the bag or only bring small bags during your stay here
Yuen Shan (10/5): - Amazing service and view from the room! We arrived late past midnight and the staff messaged me ahead of time to confirm on my arrival time and sent me a video of how to walk to my room, so we could check in smoothly. The view from the balcony is breathtaking with the continental breakfast served in front of it!! I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone interested in traveling to Santorini!
Aziz (10/5): Great View, Great hospitality - We rented this property for the view and it did not disappoint. Our child fell sick but having such a great view kept us content. Nikki is awesome to deal with. Grateful for her to celebrate my bday during brunch and for her hospitality. The hotel is 15ish scenic walk to Fira. We visited during offseason so Fira was the closest town. Loved our stay.
Der Wie (8/5): - Great view! Best Sunset in Santorini!
JOHN (10/5): - Property in a great location with nice views of the caldera. Breakfast in the private terrace with view was great too. The sister hotel that has the pool was closed during low season. I recommend schedule the transfer with the hotel. I liked the stay.
Goran S (8/5): Nice very nice - Property is nice and clean, I did not use terrace because it was raining and bad weather, room was nice and clean, enough for couple, no heating in the room only ac, so it was cold, when windy very noisy in room, People who work there very nice and will take care of yours any needs. Be ready to walk up and down stairs and hillside because its Santorini. I wish for better weather, but stay was good.
Raquel (10/5): Amazing - I don’t even know where to start, everything It was amazing at Blue Dolphins, wish we could stay much longer.
Carol (10/5): - Perfect location with an amazing view. Couldn’t ask for a better spot in Santorini ❤️
Sue (8/5): - Beautiful view of the caldera and friendly service. Staff there were so nice and helpful. Thank you!
Jennifer (10/5): - Wonderful location, amazing breakfast and views of the caldera. Excellent staff there to help us with all of our needs.
Carson (10/5): - This should be more than a 2-star hotel. Beautiful view, friendly and helpful staff. We chose to have a caldera view and it was truly stunning and worth the upgrade. It's a great location -- walking distance to a strip of shops and restaurants. The hotel allowed us to keep our luggage there for the day after checkout, and even provided access to a common area to shower/change clothes before heading to the airport. Only downside is no pool, but they offer access at their sister property in another town. We loved our stay!
Vanessa (10/5): - Great hospitality and very accommodating. Close enough to Fira, yet calm and peaceful. Thank you for our stay!
Robin (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay. All the staff was so helpful and friendly. The rooms were comfortable, the views were absolutely stunning, and the location in my opinion is PERFECT! Easy to get to all the places on the island. Take your hosts advice and enjoy all the recommendations!! It was so great we really loved it.
Karl (10/5): Good location and friendly staff - Great communication from the hotel, they looked after us during our stay. They gave us plenty of suggestions for things to do, allowed us to have a late checkout and arranged a port transfer for us. The hotel is around a 15 minute walk from the town, the walk to Oia and back was around 6 hours with a stop for lunch.
HYEWON (10/5): Nice and perfect cave style hotel. - Best ever. Thank you, Chrisoula, for the nice advice and support!
Sandra (10/5): - It's an amazing place to stay. We loved it😍😍😍
Andre (10/5): - 3 nights enjoy the view nice breakfast and friendly
Mark (10/5): - It was a beautiful property! Staff was friendly, though not too much to do right around the location.
Vivian Ruth (10/5): Cave Suite Adventure - Our cave suite was gorgeous and very roomy. The beds were very comfortable and the A/C worked. We just had to keep it on during the day and turn off at night. The balcony view is amazing, especially during sunrise. As for the location, it isn't in a touristy thoroughfare so it's fairly private and quiet for the most part. It is somewhat of a tradeoff for being a few hundred feet away from the first line of shops. Most of the popular attractions are in Fira so to get a whole experience of the town is a bit of a trek since the property is on the less populous end. The good thing is that it's also sandwiched between another town, Imerovigli. It's quieter and less visited than Fira. Our breakfast was great. We definitely love the Greek yogurt and honey combination. I did wonder though why our food wasn't delivered to us but handed from the stairs to the balcony. All the other guests' breakfast trays were handed to them by the door. As for parking, it is a general consensus island-wide that free parking is available in sporadic locations throughout the towns so as not to take up residents' parking spots. Ours was a three hundred feet away so it wasn't too bad. I also like how I was able to contact the hotel for anything, like hotel transfer to another hotel, taxi, etc. Overall, it was a pleasant stay that I can easily recommend.
Robert (10/5): - The Blue Dolphins is exactly as advertise. Our Room #104 was called the "Romantic Suite" and it was very spacious and clean. We stayed in that Room for (12) nights and never regretted a single night. The Staff are super friendly and do their best to make your stay rewarding. We are on a Keto Diet which the Staff was very willing to accommodate for our delicious morning full (not Continental) breakfast. The Blue Dolphin also has a sister Resort called the Grand View which you can visit for (10) euros which I highly encourage you to do so. The Grand View has a very nice Ocean Front Pool with a Pool Side Bar (and surprising good food) and the Staff are just as friendly. My wife and I would definitely stay at the Blue Dolphin again.
Mohni (10/5): - My husband and I stayed here recently for three night and we’re so happy we found this gem of a hotel! The room was enormous with two bathrooms with running hot water. It was air conditioned and the staff was super friendly. We opted to pay for the breakfast and it was delicious with assorted breads, eggs, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, and jam every morning! The reason we chose this hotel was definitely for the views. You get the idyllic white buildings so close and an amazing view of the caldera. We did book the room with the private terrace and it turned out great. We ate breakfast every morning with our stunning view and laid on the bed drinking wine with the perfect view. The public terrace is also great if you don’t have the option to book the private one. The hotel does not have a pool but we were absolutely okay with that. From other reviews on Expedia, they can take you to their sister hotel that does have a pool. A lot of amazing restaurants nearby and if you walk 15 minutes along the side of the rode will be Fira and Thera, even more great restaurants. We also paid for transport to and from the ferry for a few! Please note: the rooms are not modern looking at all, but for us this wasn’t an issue. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Santorini that isn’t overly priced like Oia!
Arthur (10/5): - Great views and accomodating staff. Street parking is a problem / not available (like everywhere else in Santorini). The hotel is 20-30 step below street level and there is no help with moving luggage.
Donald (8/5): Amazing view from veranda - Great view from the shared veranda! Though our room (101) the WiFi got very slow once inside, you had to go out to the veranda to get better signal. Helpful staff who helped us booking a car, and the pool at their sister hotel was great too.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The view is amazing , good breakfast and good management
Verified traveler (10/5): - Bfast on balcony w view was unique and worth the visit.
Peri (10/5): AMAZING STAFF AND OWNER - The most amazing hotel with the nicest owner and staff. Very courteous. The hotel is in a great location with amazing views from each window. We booked 3 rooms and all 3 were equally nice. The owner made us a terrific breakfast, gave us a botel of wine when we departed and even drove us to the port. One of the best stays ever.
Patricia (8/5): Nice place but the balcony did not have a view. - This place was very nice. The apartment was clean and the AC worked well and they gave us beach towels. The picture on the room was not from the balcony of the room. The room balcony had the view of another building. It was advertised at a caldera view. We had to go to the common terrace to see the volcano, I specifically booked this location for the cliff views and there were none from the room balcony. There also wasn't a bottle opener and the refrigerator wasnt working so we couldnt keep any drinks cold. There are alot of steps at the property and all around Santorini. You need to be in decent shape to make it back and forth to Fira without a car.
Verified traveler (10/5): - You can't beat the view you get from the property. It was truely a million dollar view of the water.
Verified traveler (10/5): Magnifique vue sur la caldeira - Petite structure qui permet de ne croiser que peu de monde. La terrasse qui est le seul espace commun offre une vue incroyable sur la caldeira; l’endroit y est en plus très calme et y prendre son petit-déjeuner est un moment vraiment très agréable. Le personnel est très aimable et accueillant, très réactif à toute demande.
Kazu (10/5): - Very kind personel. Not luxerious, but experience Greek simple is best!
Verified traveler (8/5): - very special view to the caldera and the sea , close to the main street, free parking
Minju (10/5): - Amazing place as pictures. We love to stay this wonderful place.
Katharine (6/5): Hermosa vista - Una vista increíble, pero en las noches hay mucho ruido ( Es un ruido eléctrico o de agua, no lo sé la verdad) también es un hotel muy básico.
Debajit (10/5): What an amazing Experience! - This place is simply amazing. We loved the location, the stuffs were very friendly. The cozy room we were given was very much clean and well maintained. I would recommend this place to everyone!
Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff was very good, friendly and helpful. Breakfast and patio also very good. Location was satisfactory albeit a distance to walk to center of Fira. Buses do not stop at Fiorstephani this time of year....passengers get on and are dropped off at bus stop in Fira.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The location is minutes away from Fira and all it's amenities including the main bus station of the island. As well as dozens of restaurants and hundreds of shops. The caldera view from the room was spectacular! The room and staff were great and the breakfast was delicious!
Ruth (8/5): - It could be excellent if wasn't for because wifi doesn't work. Other than that is wonderful view, clean.
ipasarell (10/5): - The view and the room was more that we were expecting.
Thomas E (10/5): - Delightful view over the cauldron and Fira- Firostefanl Many steps down from road, not uncommon for Santorini. Just a tune-up for our many beautiful steep walks to towns and volcano! Fun!
Raymond (10/5): Excellent - Wonderful stay at the Blue Dolphin Apartment. Conveniently located near Fira. We were upgraded to the cave house, very happy with the service.
Jeff (4/5): Great location, but wouldn't go back - Let me start off with, the location is ideal. However, when you pay over $450 for a queen suite with a view, you have certain expectations. Several problems arose, but the worst was the rock-hard sheets (probably overly starched). When we asked about getting new ones, the reply was "they'd be the same". I was able to stand the sheet up 2 ft high because of the hardness (see pic). The personal balcony that was insinuated on the website turned out to be shared with another couple. Fun eating breakfast staring out the window at "your view" of the caldera and seeing two people sitting there blocking it. The walls were paper thin, no place to put your suitcase and the room had no Kleenex. Dennis at reception was nice and helpful at checkin, but with the price we paid, is ridiculous for the issues we had.
Martin (10/5): - A beautiful room with a beautiful view. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff were very polite and helpful. We would certainly recommend!
meghal (10/5): Wonderful - They were so helpful. This turned out to be one of our favorite places on our Greece trip. They upgraded our rooms and it was wonderful!
Nicole (10/5): - Fantastic location, right on the cliffs. Perfect view. Beautiful rooms. Ideal Santorini vacation spot
Helen (10/5): - Great room, great service!
Louise (10/5): - Of course the view. Breakfast was very fresh and tasty. They were very helpful making arrangements.
Daniel (10/5): - We stayed for 3 nights. View is magnificent! Service was great!
SSW (10/5): - Great Location with Excellent Views. Staff was always there! Professional and going the extra mile. Breakfast delivered to the room every morning on time and warm! Definitely recommend!
Verified traveler (10/5): - The property is in the best location for viewing the caldera and not too far down on the cliff side for the climb up and down. It was very clean and the office was staffed almost round the clock. We were very happy with the property and all of the staff went above and beyond!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful place! very nice employees!, amazing views!
