Jasmine Suite
Wir waren zu viert für mehrere Tage bei Maria auf Malta und hatten eine wirklich fantastische Zeit. Das Haus war nicht nur genauso schön wie auf den Fotos – in Wirklichkeit war es sogar noch besser! Die Zimmer waren großzügig, sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an wohlgefühlt. Ein echtes Highlight war der Pool – perfekt für eine Abkühlung zwischendurch und ideal zum Entspannen. Auch die Dachterrasse mit dem Grill war großartig – dort haben wir viele schöne Abende mit Blick über die Umgebung verbracht. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet, sodass wir problemlos selbst kochen konnten. Die Lage der Unterkunft war für uns ebenfalls ideal: ruhig gelegen, aber trotzdem mit allem Wichtigen in der Nähe. Maria war eine sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Die Kommunikation war jederzeit unkompliziert und schnell – man hat gemerkt, dass ihr das Wohl ihrer Gäste wirklich am Herzen liegt. Insgesamt können wir die Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen!

Rural eco-studio, near town & beach
Un vrai coup de cœur. Nous avons adoré cette petite maison décorée avec goût, paisible et confortable. Entre campagne et plages, pleine de zenitude... très bien située à proximité de Vejer de la Frontera, ville blanche très jolie.Joanna et Chris sont très sympathiques et accueillants, nous reviendrons volontiers.

Vistas al mar, en finca ecológica, VV EL DRAGO
Wir haben 10 Tage bei Cynthia und Carlos verbracht. Die beiden und ihre Kinder sind einfach wunderbare Menschen. Carlos war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns u.a. sehr geholfen, als wir am ersten Tag in Puerto de la Cruz bestohlen wurden. Das Haus liegt in den Bergen mit einer fantastischen Aussicht. Die Anfahrt ist beim ersten Mal etwas abenteuerlich, aber spektakulär. Das Holzhaus ist wie beschrieben und unsere Kinder haben sich jeden Morgen riesig über den Besuch der Hühner auf der Terrasse sowie die frischen Eier gefreut. Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen.

Johannesburg Mountainside Garden Cottage
Guy & Tanya’s cottage was the perfect landing place for my first visit to South Africa as a Black & trans American writer. The quiet, sunlit mornings with birdsong helped me focus on reading & writing. The steep hill & stairs around the cottage got me back into lifestyle physical activity, which I appreciated. Everyone I interacted with, from the vigilant staff at the entrance gate to the warm neighbor & proficient housekeeper, added to the sense of comfort & safety. When I had an issue with the space heater, the hosts were responsive, & the heating blankets on the bed were clutch. One night I was startled by several barking dogs while walking back to the cottage & Guy quickly intervened, but most days I just saw their chill dog, Django. The hosts were generous throughout my stay, letting me use laundry detergent & even offering a ride to a local café after checkout. The location is also near lots of art & culture events. It was sucha grounding place, would absolutely book again!

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.

Jacob's Sunrise cottage, near balos and elafonisi
Le logement est trės bien situé, dans un petit village tout proche de Kissamos. Même s'il y avait d'autres voyageurs, nous n'avons entendu aucun bruit. De la petite terrasse. on a une magnifique vue sur la mer. Nous recommandons ce logement pour sa tranquillité.

Casita Sweet Tabaiba
La casa di Pepa è un'oasi di pace e tranquillità, con una meravigliosa vista panoramica sul mare e su Fuerteventura, oltre che sui vulcani che la circondano. Si raggiunge tramite una breve strada sterrata facilmente percorribile. Parcheggio per l'auto comodo e adiacente all'ingresso. La casa è arredata con gusto e ha tutto ciò che serve. Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto conoscere Pepa e Roland di persona perché in vacanza, ma abbiamo conosciuto i loro gatti, che sono stati gli unici esseri viventi che abbiamo incontrato durante il nostro soggiorno nella "casita". Pepa è comunque stata sempre pronta a rispondere telefonicamente a qualsiasi nostra richiesta. La casita si trova a 10/15 minuti di auto dalle cittadine circostanti dotate di tutti i servizi. Inoltre la posizione centrale permette di raggiungere rapidamente tutti i luoghi di interesse dell'isola. Consigliatissimo per chi cerca tranquillità, privacy e pace!

Forest View Studio | Nature Lovers Dream
Andy's place is truly a little gem. Thank you for an amazing experience in Knysna.

Spectacular ocean views @ 38 on Penguin Studio
A beautiful space and wonderful hosts. Lucienne was kind, responsive, and so accommodating. A very comfortable place to be, close to everything you could need and more.

The Annex at Letymvou Terrace
Geweldig verblijf gehad mede dankzij Otto, Rita en Pascal! Locatie is heerlijk rustig gelegen maar ongeveer 30 minuten met de auto en je zit aan het strand of in Paphos. Hele goede taverne op een paar autominuten gelegen waar we vaak gegeten hebben. Cyprus heeft ons verrast en we komen zeker terug.

Garden & City Views cottage
Great experience.warm and homely ... it would be perfect to have more tea, coffee and milk . overall perfect .. wouldn't mind coming back

Karen guest cottage with views of Ngong Hills
Lucy’s place was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend escape! Lucy was proactive and very polite in providing all the information needed to visit her place. The property was lovely, the view of Ngong Hills was spectacular and the staff on the ground were very friendly and welcoming.

Entire apartment unit with cozy rocky interior
Thank you again for a wonderful stay. Recommended for couples, it was nice and cozy.

La casa del estanque
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in Nataschas stilvoll eingerichteter Unterkunft in Agua de Bueyes! Die Wohnung ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet und bietet wirklich alles, was man braucht – von gemütlichen Schlafmöglichkeiten bis hin zu einem traumhaft schönen Außenbereich mit Pool, umgeben von Ruhe, Sonne und einer leichten Brise, die auch tagsüber für angenehme Temperaturen sorgt. Die Lage ist ein echter Geheimtipp: Mitten auf der Insel gelegen, eignet sich das Apartment perfekt als Ausgangspunkt um Fuerteventura zu erkunden. Ein großes Dankeschön geht an unsere liebe Vermieterin Natascha! Sie war jederzeit erreichbar, sehr herzlich und hatte viele hilfreiche Tipps parat, um unseren Aufenthalt noch schöner zu machen. Für alle, die etwas abseits vom Trubel zur Ruhe kommen und dabei dennoch flexibel die Insel erkunden wollen, ist dieses Airbnb eine ganz klare Empfehlung!

Casa do Piquinho
Wir waren zum ersten Mal auf Madeira und haben 9 Tage in der schönen Wohnung von Ana gelebt. Ana ist eine sehr freundliche, hilfsbereite und herzliche Gastgeberin, sie wohnt im gleichen Haus über der Wohnung. Ihre Nichte Beatriz - mit der die Kommunikation per Telefon lief - war immer erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit, sollte etwas sein. Die Wohnung liegt herrlich mit Rundumblick, der wunderbar ist. Alles war vorhanden, super ausgestattet, alles sehr sauber, der Außenbereich sehr schön. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und danken Ana und Beatriz noch einmal für ihre Gastfreundschaft.

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!

Das große Glück
We had a lovely time at Uwe and Birgit's place. The hosts were friendly. The house was very nice, stylishly decorated and fitted with everything you need. The area is lovely. We particularly loved the private garden, it was great to spend time outside and having breakfast on the terrace. Our only regret is that we haven't booked a longer stay and would love to come back sometime.

At the foot of the Gilboa in a lovely attic
זאת הפעם השניה שבה אנחנו מתארחים בדירה של עמר. וזה אומר הרבה. מיקום נהדר! הדירה מהממת כמו בתמונות, נקיה, מסודרת. חשבו בה על כל פרט ופרט. בפעם הקודמת היינו זוג +2, הפעם חזרנו זוג +3. היה נעים ומרווח. ולא היה חסר לנו דבר. כיף גדול ובטוח שעוד נשוב :)

The fruit garden guesthouse :)
we had a lovely peaceful time, it felt like we had everything we needed and everything we didn't know we need. will come again!

El Hanna Valley View Apartment
Ali was the most amazing host I have ever had in all my years of using Airbnb. He was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and made my entire group of 6 feel right at home. From helping us get to his Airbnb from the airport with short notice to traveling around the beautiful city of Luxor with ease during our stay! Being in a country so far away from home is pretty nerve wracking but words can’t describe how safe we felt with Ali! Thank you to our new friend Ali! You were amazing and I hope we see each other soon :) Thank you to his wonderful friends Husan and Muhammad as well! Your taxi service saved us !! Such amazing people!

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!
