Categories

Cleanliness
9.8
Several reviews explicitly praise cleanliness: 'Zeer schoon, netjes, onderhoiden.' Overall rooms and facilities noted as clean and well maintained, despite isolated issues with missing shower walls impacting privacy.
Service
7.2
Mixed reports: some guests call staff 'zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam', while others report unfriendly behaviour ('staffs were not so friendly', 'de jonge meiden...kijken je niet aan') and slow/late handling of incidents (fire alarm resolved only when manager came from home).
Location
9.8
Strong positive sentiment: outstanding waterside location and views, quiet waterlodges, direct access to nature (Oostvaardersplassen), easy parking and proximity to A6. Some safety concerns at night around non-waterlodge rooms and closed facility after 22:00.
Room Quality
6.8
Mixed: waterlodges and rooms with balconies praised, good mattresses noted, but recurring issues include missing shower walls (privacy), very compact rooms/kitchenettes with empty cabinets, lack of fridges in some rooms, and mattresses that slide or feel too soft.
Amenities
6.6
Several amenity shortcomings: very poor Wi‑Fi reported, absence of fridges and kettle/coffee corners in some rooms, empty kitchenette cabinets. Positives include air conditioning and dog‑friendly facilities.
Value for Money
7
Mixed impressions: restaurant prices considered reasonable and some find it good value for a weekend, but at least one guest felt the room (e.g. small room #14) was not worth the cited nightly rate.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Generally acceptable food and reasonable prices; however some guests found service in the restaurant rushed (meals served very quickly) and inconsistent timing/experience during dinner and breakfast.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall a pleasant, scenic and well‑maintained stay for many (great location, clean rooms, comfortable beds), tempered by service inconsistencies, some safety and privacy concerns, and amenity gaps.

Fint och mysigt.
Pros:

enkelt, mysigt, bra restaurang, trevlig område bakom hotellet

Cons:

Mycket ljud från motorvägen. Jag har bokat fel och blandat ihop Aalscholver och hotellet åt andra sidan av motorvägen (Lepelaar om jag har rätt), så jag behövde att åka flera kilometer extra, båda på ankomstdag och dagen efter jag har lämnat hotellet, Mitt fel kanske, men jag tycker att hotellet skulle visa på booking.com enkelt vilket hotell ligger på östra sidan av motorvägern (mot Lelystad) och andra hotell på västra sidan av motorvägen (mot Almere), så att det är enklare att undvika detta fel.

Prima lokatie verstopt langs de snelweg. Die weg heb ik niet echt gehoord! W
Pros:

Ik was positief verrast over het uitzicht en de verstopte lokatie zo langs de snelweg!

Cons:

De knop van de schuifdeur naar de badkamer mag wat steviger gemaakt worden!

Cons:

Het ontbijt viel tegen, geen keuze. Wij vonden alles te zoet maar dat was niet bespreekbaar. Ze deden het al jaren zo. De prijs was aan de hoge kant. Ook de avondmaaltijd was matig.
