“Fine place — awful staff”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Let me start off by saying that Blue Sky Villas is in a fantastic location. It's right down the hill from the main town, about two blocks from where you'll want to be — and it's cheap. The rooms are OK — ours were a bit cold and had a few bugs from when they left the window open, but nothing that was that big of a deal. The worst part about this hotel though is the atrocious staff. No one is ever at the front desk — ever. I tried to stop by the desk every time we passed by, at least seven times, in one day and not once was someone there. They are completely unhelpful in getting oriented about the town, as well. We had an irregular check out one night at 2 a.m. to catch our ferry. We had asked to cancel our stay that night since we wouldn't really be "staying" at the hotel but the lady at the front desk said that we couldn't cancel and we decided it would be OK since we arranged for them to drive us to the port anyway. However, when we arrived at the front desk at 2 a.m., of course, no one was there. She showed up 30 minutes later because they had just picked someone up from the port and we managed to get checked out. However, right after check out, she said the driver had gone to bed and there was no way we could get a ride to the port — we were so mad because that was one of the conditions that we had actually stayed at the hotel. Honestly, the place is beautiful and the rooms are fine, but the staff is hopeless. We also met a group who stayed there that said their entire room was soaked upon arrival and there were no towels, linens or a shower curtain in their room. I would no recommend this place to anyone, just in case they get the service we did or the rooms our friends did.

Room Tip: Don't stay here.

“good place to sleep, nothing more”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2010

Obviously, on Santorini you have to live either in luxury hotel with own beach in Oia, or in appartments like this. As you're most probably not going to spend more than 2-3 nights on Santorini, Blue Sky will fit you - it is in Thira - center of the island, 7 minutes away from bus station, but in rather quite street, so you will be able to travel around and there is a place to park a car near it in case you've rented one. Rooms are rather big and clean, though not very comfortable. There is a pool, but it's hard to imagine someone taking rest there:)
What's really disappointing is the staff - zero quality. First day they have sent me to neighborhood hotel, where I spent a night and then had to go back. They sad it's normal practice and I tend to believe it's done everywhere round Santorini, so don't be surprised.

“BEWARE!”

first , there was no response to emails or calls. the last minute, was able to contact them and assured us of an airport pick up, but when we arrive at the airport of santorini, nobody was there to pick us up. when we arrived at the hotel, there was nobody on the reception area at 8pm. we had to wait for almost an hour and to make things worst, when the owner finally arrived, they told us that they are full and cant accomadate us, although our reservation was confirmed and guaranted by my credit card by their system. travelled almost the whole day to reach santorini and just to be told that we dont have any place to stay. so we have to look for another hotel and arrived almost midnight. that was a very bad experience for us.

“Despicable”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

By far the WORST hotel I have every stayed in when traveling. The rooms are old and the bathrooms are dirty with ants crawling around. The service is HORRIBLE! The lady who owns the hotel is not even at the front desk most of the time, people have to wait around to check in cause she runs back and forth between hotels or takes off to get lunch and theres no sign saying so. On the day my friend and I went to check out she owed us money but wasnt around and we had a bus to catch. I crawled over the front desk and finally found a phone and called her and she said she was out at the airport. When she finally came back she handed me the money and walked away and i was so angry i went off about how poorly a hotel she was running and she just turned around and laughed and said "well what do u expect for 35 euro a night" and walked off. No apology or anything! do not stay here there are much better hotels and dont expect ur change back and checkout or any help for that matter!!
