Great place to stay but the cottages lack good lighting in the living room and comfy seating outside. That said we enjoyed our stay

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.

Amazing experience

O hotel é impecável, experiência muito diferente de outros hotéis que já fiquei!

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.

Amei demais esse hotel e todas as experiências que eles proporcionam. Meus 4 filhos adoraram.

Epic visit, thank you so much to all at Babylonstoren, especially Nathan, Murunda, Ray, Carlo, Wentxep(?). The list is too many to mention.

Delicious food and comfy bed

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.

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.

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.

Extraordinary place. If you have any love of gardens, horticulture, farm-to-table food, or just general wholesome living then you will enjoy it here. The gardens and farm are not a performance - at over 2000 acres and something like 700 staff they somehow manage to seamlessly blend luxury with genuine production, and the variety is extraordinary. There is true vision behind this project.

Amazing place, perfect ambiance, you really feel comfortable. Many exciting activities. Fantastic breakfast. All planned to smallest detail. Staff very engaged. We are coming back.

Our expectations were high of such a well know establishment. We found it first of all very crowded with day visitors everywhere. It was a rainy day and the result is that you can hardly walk to your room as nothing is paved. Our shoes were full of mud on arrival. Bathroom floor way too hot, very uncomfortable. Breakfast terrible. Bread is uncovered from 8 onwards, so if you arrive at 9 it’s all very dry. Fruit so big cut that it’s impossible to eat. Omelet was raw on the inside. Onion cut way too big and raw. We skipped the second nights breakfast and moved on to next destination. We definitely won’t return.

Outstanding experience

Exceptionnelle diversité d'activités, de lieux, d'ambiances, d'hébergements, au sein du même domaine. Un "défaut" pour nous, français ne maîtrisant pas l'anglais couramment, toutes les visites sont exclusivement guidées en anglais.

Babylonstoren is like heaven on earth. It is so beautiful that you have to pinch yourself every day to make sure that you are not dreaming. The staff are all amazing and they take such pride in the farm and the hotel. All of the food is locally sourced on the farm itself or nearby and the quality and freshness was unbelievable. We were genuinely sad to leave and we promised that we would be back next year. If there is one place where you must stay in South Africa, then that is Babylonstoren - in fact it is probably the finest place we have stayed in our travels all over the world.

the property is a working eco farm to table - amazing gardens, vineyards, fruit orchards, guests treated as house guests and all facilities made available without having to pay xtra. Beautiful rooms and clean, organic food.

Great location. Absolutely beautiful property. Wonderful food and service
