Pros:

Hele vriendelijke eigenaren, zeer behulpzaam. De sfeer is gemoedelijk en het zwembad is een groot pluspunt, zeker in de warme dagen dat wij er waren De locatie is perfect, midden in het centrum en toch rustig .

Cons:

De kamers zijn wat gedateerd, al heeft de jaren 70 stijl wel zijn charme Eén stopcontact in de badkamer had handig geweest. Haren stylen/föhnen bij een spiegel is niet mogelijk.

Vintage in exzellenter Lage
Pros:

Der Gastgeber Theo war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage der Unterkunft ist exzellent, sowohl um Valkenburg selbst, als auch um die Umgebung, z.B. Maastricht, zu erkunden. Der Pool hat uns sehr gut gefallen, das WLAN hat sehr gut funktioniert und der kostenfreie Parkplatz war spitze. Die Unterkunft war sauber.

Cons:

Die Einrichtung, vor allem die Küchenzeile sowie das Badezimmer, schien überwiegend aus den 1960er oder 1970er Jahren zu stammen. Schalldämmung war offenbar nicht vorhanden, denn man konnte Gäste sowohl von draußen, als auch von nebenan laut hören. Schade fanden wir, dass der Pool nur recht eingeschränkte Öffnungszeiten hatte und nur auf Anfrage geöffnet wurde. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war nicht gerechtfertigt.

Amazing stay
Pros:

Owners were very nice and helpful, pool area was really nice too, location is great, generally it has a very good, although bit old fashioned vibe.

Cons:

Everything was nice, minor disturbance was people smoking next room to us on the balcony and smoke coming to our room. But other than that, we loved it and would def come back.
