Worth the price!
Pros:

Really comfy, not that close to the center, but well communicated. It was really quiet and calm, all of houses are in the same space, toilet is big, and there are a lot of showers, you can get breakfast also and snacks that are extra cost.

Voor herhaling vatbaar!
Pros:

Het is leuk om het echte camping gevoel te hebben maar dan toch lekker binnen en warm! Leuk dat je in de nacht even je bed uit moet om naar het toilet te gaan en de campingpods, caravans en woonwagens zijn netjes en schoon. Een hotel gevoel maar ook zeker het camping gevoel.

Cons:

Er zat behoorlijke schimmel in de doucheruimtes. Personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam, we kregen eerst een rondleiding wat super was. Storend blijft dat er in het westen meer Engels dan Nederlands gesproken wordt.

A good and comfortable stay with easy access to the city centre, but the Wi-Fi and communication about additional charge
Pros:

The stay was good overall. The location was convenient, and it was very easy and quick to get into Amsterdam city centre by metro. The place was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

The Wi-Fi barely worked during our stay, and there were very limited options nearby for getting or ordering food. I was also not clearly informed about the city tax before arrival. I paid €22 for breakfast for two people (€11 each) and €20 for late check-in, so I expected the total additional cost to be €42. However, I was charged €77 in total. This means around €35 was city tax, which I was not expecting and had not been clearly informed about in advance. I was quite surprised by this.

Great Location & Unique Concept — But Bed Bugs Were a Dealbreaker
Pros:

I really liked the quiet location and the good transport connections, with the nearby train station offering connections in different directions. The accommodation was also nicely decorated and had a unique, charming style, especially the beach houses and caravans.

It was nice that many things were provided, such as earplugs, fans and extra blankets. There were also games, swings, hammocks and small seating areas where you could relax. Overall, the atmosphere and concept were very pleasant.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the cleanliness was disappointing, especially under the beds and inside the drawers, which made it feel like the rooms were only cleaned superficially. There was also very little storage space and not enough hooks to hang clothes or towels, so we basically had to live out of our suitcases.

I also didn’t like that the bathrooms were shared between men and women, with no separate facilities.

The accommodation was also very noisy. During a party, we could hear everything, and someone even vomited outside the bathroom around midnight, which was quite unpleasant.

Most importantly, after a few days we discovered bed bugs in our room. We were moved to another room, but dealing with the infestation after returning home has been a major inconvenience.

Lastly, cigarette and cannabis smells from outside sometimes entered our beach house, which was also unpleasant.

El.
Pros:

I liked friendly and cosy atmosphere, high level of cleanliness and the staff which is ready to help you anytime.
Special thanks to Leandro, Bo, Lena.

Cons:

Breakfast could be better, without the notes " one slice only", which sounds humiliating for the visitors.
