Jasmine Suite
We had a week's stay in the Jasmine Suite, We really enjoyed our stay, the place was spotless and Maria's attention to detail was spot on! the Beds are so comfortable and the kitchen has everything you will need. Great location, 5 min walk to great restaurants, . Great place for a few couples, each room has great space and privacy and the pool was a great place to hang after a big day out exploring Thank you Maria for the wonderful stay.

Casa Indy village paradise
Beautiful villa! Would highly recommend staying here. There’s 3 cats that are within the villa walls who are super friendly and great company! If you want to explore outside of Fasoula you’d likely need a car but the area is lovely!

Kalliste an exclusive retreat (Solar Power)
Will definitely visit again! This cottage is the perfect coastal escape, surrounded by breathing taking flora and landscapes. The ocean view is spectacular! We felt right at home here and out hosts were just wonderful.

Cozy Beach Cottage with private garden
cute and cozy, i had a wonderful stay - wish i could’ve stay longer! very peaceful and close to the beach/tidal pool. the space is very comfortable and homey, you won’t want to leave.

Secluded Cottage in a Secret Garden
Very clean and functional space and the hosts were flexible and communicated well.

Jacob's Sunrise cottage, near balos and elafonisi
The accommodation is very well located, in a small village close to Kissamos. Even though there were other guests, we didn't hear any noise. From the small terrace, you have a magnificent sea view. We would recommend this listing for its tranquility.

Bright Studio Apartment Next to the Ocean
Wonderful little place right on the shore. I will be back again! We had the most wonderful time at this little paradise.

Great Vacation Rental (VR) on a Farm
Everything was perfect, great location at the end of the road on top of the mountain. Beautiful garden, lovely swimming pool, good bed. Every day a good morning from the dogs that just belong. Diego is available if needed and responds quickly to messages. Another tip: come the first time when it's still light. Diego's instructions are clear, you just have to see it. My rental car didn't like the mountain, but keep pushing the gas is the message. Stock up on provisions because once you're on the mountain, you won't want to leave😉.

Awesome 1 night stay at Andys place. Relaxing and lovely set up. Didnt want or need for anything.

Spectacular ocean views @ 38 on Penguin Studio
My family and I had an awesome stay! It was the perfect break away from the city. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Thank you ☺️

Amazing place with an amazing host. We spent 4 beautiful days on your rihad. Thank You

Karen guest cottage with views of Ngong Hills
Thank you Lucy for opening your beautiful space to us. The cottage was perfect for our Nairobi staycation. We spent the afternoon at the Karen organic farmers market (5min drive) which happens every Saturday. Finding the cottage, getting in etc was all made so easy by Lucy’s very responsive and descriptive communication. This cosy little space also has an veranda to allow you to sit and enjoy the quiet views of the beautiful garden and you can even see the Ngong hills in the distance. It really was perfect for a little date night getaway to escape the busy city centre. Thank you 🙏 Hopefully we will be back again.

Guesthouse in the Winelands
The unit was truly exceptional, with top-quality finishes and beautiful design throughout. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The setting was picturesque, offering complete privacy and peaceful surroundings. We especially enjoyed the abundance of cycling routes in the area. I would highly recommend this place to future guests!

Entire apartment unit with cozy rocky interior
We had a beautiful weekend stay that felt like a home away from home. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming and were always readily available for any requests. The place itself was exactly as presented in the pictures, though the view from the bedroom is a must see in person. Looking forward to our next stay! Thanks again Anthea, Leicester, DanDan 🌻

OrYam/Sea light
We spent the night and it was dreamy! Amazing view, was comfortable, pleasant and clean. Highly recommended and we will definitely come again 😊

Casa do Piquinho
We were in Madeira for the first time and lived in Ana's beautiful apartment for 9 days. Ana is a very friendly, helpful and warm hostess, she lives in the same house above the apartment. Her niece Beatriz - with whom communication was by phone - was always available and very helpful if something should be. The apartment is wonderfully located with panoramic views, which is wonderful. Everything was available, super equipped, everything very clean, the outdoor area very nice. We felt very comfortable and thank Ana and Beatriz again for their hospitality.

Modern light charming cottage in Camps Bay
What can I say but very positive words? The location was ideal but the best of this place in Cape Town is by far Pelle and Pernilla themselves. They are very attentive, welcoming and excellent knowledge of things to do. They gave us a very warm welcome and excellent recommendations that made our experience of Cape Town even much better! Will definitely look forward to returning!

Loft Room @ Craigrossie
The Loft Room – A Stunning Gem! What an absolutely stunning and well-equipped self-catering Airbnb! My partner and I absolutely adored our stay. Trish and John were the perfect hosts – warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive. The property itself is breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to spot some wildlife during our visit, which made the experience even more special. The Loft was cozy, homey, and wonderfully quiet – the perfect place to relax, reset, and unwind. Everything was spotlessly clean and clearly very well maintained. In our opinion, it’s one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in so far in South Africa. We’re already planning our return trip – highly recommended!

Villa Hermano - Bushveld Retreat Self Catering
A true gem in the bushveld. One of the most beautifully decorated places I have ever stayed. Everything you need was there. Wood available on site, breakfast available on request in the most tranqual setting. The 2 braai areas was well utilized. We loved the big chess board. We did not use the pool as we visited in winter. But for sure, u cant go wrong by booking here!

At the foot of the Gilboa in a lovely attic
This is the second time we have stayed in Amar's apartment. And that means a lot. Great location! The apartment is as stunning as in the pictures, clean, tidy. Think about every detail. Last time we were a couple +2, this time we came back a couple +3. It was cozy and spacious. And we didn't miss anything. Great fun and sure we'll be back :)

Northcliff Self Catering Cottage with Jacuzzi
Great host and lovely space! Host had everything we needed, including candles for a birthday! Would 100% recommend! Had a great time. Super lovely family.

Kivulini Cottage
This beachside cottage in a secluded forest garden is an absolute gem - we can't wait to come back. Pauline is a consummate host and an absolute delight to chat to and her dog Shadow is a sweetheart. The place is walking distance to restaurants, supermarkets. bars, banks and pharmacy's with it's own access to the seaside just a few meters away. The surroundings are magical and it has its own pool. Do not hesitate to book!

Tropical Lane Cottage
The place was in safe gated community. Couldn’t have asked for better. Will be looking for the place again if I ever go back Joburg
