Do Cave Hotels smell damp? (Asthma / Allergy Warning)

Staying in a cave is cool, but is it healthy?

Ventilation: Real caves do not have cross-ventilation.
Dampness: Cheap cave rooms can be humid and smell musty. Luxury cave hotels install high-tech ventilation systems and dehumidifiers.

Advice:

  • If you have Asthma or strict allergies, book a “Stone Room” (Arch Room) instead of a “Cave Room”. Stone rooms are built above ground and have windows/airflow, but still look traditional.
