“Amazing place, amazing people.”
It's not in the centre of town but that's a plus for me, the 10min walk to the bus and 20min to Fira are no problem. I had a beautiful private cave room with bathroom and kitchenette that was kept immaculate by the cleaning staff. The breakfast was very nice and the staff were very friendly, helpful and committed to providing a wonderful stay for every guest.

“The best hostel of Santorini!”
The accommodation is everything you want and need, giving off all the Mamma Mia vibes. The people working there as well as the fellow travellers create such a nice atmosphere. The hostel dinner and breakfast each morning were our highlights!

“Comfortable and charming with very helpful staff.”
The staff were very helpful. They arranged our transfer to the port, ordered the ATVs (which are dropped off and picked up at Caveland), and pointed us in the right direction for whatever we needed. The pool was lovely!

If you get the chance - stay in Caveland. I'm a solo female traveller aged 50, this was so beautiful, friendly, lightly communal yet as private as you want it to be. Utterly safe. Sweet walk 25 mins up to Fira. Beautiful place, the photos are accurate but the sense when you arrive is even better. Delightful breakfasts, 3 adorable friendly dog residents too :) So many solo travellers. Highly recommend catching the bus to Pyrgos. Stay in Caveland, you will fall in love.

“A real life Mamma Mia experience, and an absolute dream.”
Incredibly beautiful property. Such an authentic Greek building that is absolutely stunning! The staff and volunteers are so much fun and the 2 dogs on site are so cute. Caveland really makes you feel like you’re in another world.

“Amazing stay at Caveland”
Absolutely loved this hostel! The place is gorgeous, it’s at a good walking distance from Fira town and the bus stop to all the other towns on the island. The staff is super lovely and welcoming and there are plenty of activities to book through them or to join with other hostel guests, like dinners and movie nights. The breakfast which is included is very good as well and you can pick whatever you want each morning. The dogs are so sweet as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I’m sure I will be back in the future!

“Great place to stay for all ages and groups, conveniently located, excellent value for money”
I stayed at Caveland with family (my two kids and my mother). The room was much more spacious than I could have anticipated. I was expecting a much more smaller room, with several beds fit within the available space (based on past experience). Instead, what we got a essentially a small apartment, with two separate bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a small living room, all spacious, well equipped (e.g. air condition, wireless, towels etc) and clean. The balcony outside the room was nice for relaxing and also observe the kids in distance, playing in the swimming pool. The kids enjoyed the large swimming pool, it was ideal for the warmest part of the day when we did not want to move around in the island under the Sun. Breakfast was basic but more than sufficient. Everyone was very helpful and kind. The dogs were also a nice company. The village has few nice places to eat, or you can also order to get food delivered at Caveland. Overall, I hope that the fact that Caveland is listed as hostel in some booking websites is discouraging from some families to even consider it as an option - I instead cannot recommend it more.

“Family stay, perfect greek experience.”
We stayed in the four person apartment, which was clean, comfortable, homely, and had the most fabulous views from a raised terrace. We enjoyed joining the Greek food tasting evening at the local taverna with other travellers and the Caveland team.

Had a wonderful stay. I loved the breakfast they served, very simple but helped my friend and I to get through the day. We were greeted with 2 lovely dogs on arrival. Easy check-in and we could leave our belonging before check in and after check out. Staff were really nice.

“Excellent value. Easy to get to all areas of the island. Great staff”
Great Hostel just outside Fira (walkable). Laid back with a great pool and friendly staff. Perfect location for those wanting to see a bit more of the local Santorini scene rather than the expensive over-developed tourist areas. The three dogs are super friendly too !!
