Summary: Everything perfect
Simon Feb 28, 2026 04:30:50 AM
Summary: Great place to stay but the cottages lack good lighting in the living room and comfy seating outside. That said we enjoyed our stay
John Feb 13, 2026 03:36:40 PM
Summary: The hotel was overrun by day guests and not enough provision has made for the needs of hotel guests. Service of the bar area at the lower pool was poor , but overall the staff was very friendly and willing to help.
Abdulaziz Feb 12, 2026 04:44:17 PM
Summary: Amazing experience
Piers Feb 2, 2026 07:38:24 PM
Summary: A rural idal. Great balance between attentive staff and allowing you to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the whole estate. We loved the farm to table approach and food was seasonal and delicious. Our room was exactly as shown on the website and beautifully appointed with a quiet private terrace. The spa was an excellent retreat as was the pool area. Overall this is a beautiful location and wonderfully restful.
James Dec 12, 2025 08:50:52 PM
Summary: Epic visit, thank you so much to all at Babylonstoren, especially Nathan, Murunda, Ray, Carlo, Wentxep(?). The list is too many to mention.
Sarah Aug 2, 2025 03:08:57 AM
Summary: Delicious food and comfy bed
Mark May 9, 2025 04:07:25 AM
Summary: Fantastic place, a lot activities, very professional staff, always ready to help.Tasty food at Babylon, but menu to small. We stayed 5 days and getting lunch and dinner on 4 different courses is not OK. Farm houses are build for a warm summer season. First house we stayed was just to cold. next day we moved to another house, which was much better. It was our third time, bit longer this time We enjoyed every day.
Emma Jan 25, 2025 11:11:55 PM
Summary: The hotel is beautiful and the farm was gorgeous to walk/cycle around. Breakfast service to get a cup of tea was a little slow occasionally, one day waited 30 mins before we got the tea, then milk and then sugar. The food was all beautifully presented. We really enjoyed our stay but did not think it was good vfm.
Vida Jan 20, 2025 10:08:09 PM
Summary: A beautiful property that is a farm, vineyard and orchard. Everything we ate was delicious and the Carnivore dinner at the Old Bakery is a must. Do as many activities, that are included with your stay. Ask about their sister property that is a 18th century farm as well as the mountain pool. The farm/garden tour were very informative and the water buffalo outing is a must.
