Having stayed in an "underground" (nowadays we'd call it passive design) BnB out there, it really is remarkably comfortable compared to the outside temperature. During the days it's bakingly hot, and freezing and dry at night; but always pleasant in the rooms, with no need for A/C or heating. Ventilation is a bit of a problem as you might expect, it got a bit stuffy.
- danuker 5y agoBy "stuffy" do you mean just stale air, or is there also excess humidity?
- prawn 5y agoBeen decades since I stayed in a cave hotel in Coober Pedy, but I have stayed in a "trog" home in France and a cave BnB in Turkey - as much as the stuffiness, it felt like there was mineral-heavy dust always in the air, from the stone walls? My nose was quite sensitive to that.
