Pros:

Our stay at this wonderful hotel was simply unforgettable! From the very first moment we arrived, we were greeted with such a warm and heartfelt welcome by the owner himself. He immediately made us feel at home and took the time to sit with us and show us, on a map, all the attractions and fun things to do in the area. His recommendations were fantastic and truly helped us make the most of our trip.

He personally showed us to our room and carefully explained all the details to ensure we were comfortable. The room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully prepared. As we were celebrating my daughter’s birthday, he surprised her with a lovely box of chocolates and even decorated the room for the occasion. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and made her day extra special!

The food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed lunch, dinner, and breakfast at the hotel, and every meal was generous in portion and incredibly tasty. You could really feel the care and quality in every dish.

What touched us most was his genuine kindness and patience. He was so sweet and understanding with my daughters, who can be quite talkative, and he always responded with a smile. He even tried to fix my broken glasses — such a kind and unexpected gesture!

This hotel offers not only comfort and excellent food, but also a truly personal and caring experience. We felt like valued guests from beginning to end.

We will definitely be back again at the end of August. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️

Prettige ervaring!

We werden hartelijk ontvangen en er werd duidelijk verteld hoe alles werkte, over het dorp en over de mogelijkheden in de omgeving. Schone kamers en bedden, heerlijk gegeten in t restaurant en s ochtends een goed ontbijtje.

Giethoorn in winter
Pros:

Nice warm restaurant in the middle of winter in a nice tourist place. Excellent host.

Cons:

The TV was in an awkward place and didn't have any streaming services. So I didn't use it which is probably a good thing anyway.

Muy agradable, confortable y amabilidad 100% del personal.
Pros:

La habitación familiar ha sido muy cómoda, camas muy confortables y todo muy limpio. La temperatura ideal y radiadores que podíamos regular nosotros mismos. Fuimos para los 50 años de mi marido y pedí si se podía hacer alguna cosa para celebrar. Decoraron la habitación y se había dejado un regalito para él para la ocasión. Todo un detalle. El personal y dueño del hotel muy amables. El desayuno también estaba incluido y muy rico, tipo bufet.

Cons:

No hay nada que no me gustó.
