Toppertje
Pros:

Alles klopte gewoon. Je wordt echt gezien als gast. Wij kwamen wat later aan met de boot en kregen nog de gelegenheid om wat in het restaurant te eten. Top service.
Slaapkamer was netjes en schoon. Badkamer zeer ruim. Echt een aanrader!!

Cons:

Dat kan ik echt niet bedenken.

Pros:

Netjes. Mooie locatie.

Cons:

Werklui die precies boven je hoofd om 6 uur opstaan en met stoelen gaan schuiven. Erg gehorig. Misschien beter om overnachtingen voor bedrijven meer gescheiden beneden in te plannen?

Made to feel at home
Pros:

Super helpful and kind staff. I was able to check in early, and the room and bathroom were immaculate. I deeply appreciated the 'no charge' for the second bike I'd rented due to my friend falling ill and not being able to join me for my stay. The staff were helpful in showing me how to use the electric bike I rented, provided a helpful map to the island of Terschelling, and directed me to the little grocery for medicine when I started to come down with a head/chest cold since the island didn't have a pharmacy. I thought the restaurant food and staff were wonderful and ate all of my meals there! Very nice grounds and places to sit and enjoy outdoors. I was touched by the warmth and care shown to one of the local elderly residents who takes his meals and perhaps even lodging at Walvisvaarder. It seems the locals are taken care of just as well as guests and it made for a warm and homey stay.

Cons:

Not a thing!
