Row row row your boat... with all the luggage

We stayed in the island lodge. The lodge itself is very nice, only downpoint of the actual lodge is lack of storage space in the kitchen.

My biggest complaints about this place were
1. When making the booking it NEVER mentioned that the only way to access your lodge is via a small rowing boat. I kid you not. I was with a family of 5, and none of us had ever rowed a boat a day in our lives. Had i known this upfront i would never have booked this lodge. THIS ROOM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ANYONE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES!!And that should be described in the room information.
2. You cant leave the island when its dark because its pitch black. This restricted what we could do and also prevented me from attending a planned meal out with a client. We asked the morning after we arrived if we could change rooms but only at a cost of nearly 400 euros for 2 further nights. I think the staff think its hilarious but it ruined what was supposed to be a chance for us to get away and relax while i did a couple of days work.

This is a nice place,the area was pretty and the cabin was nicely furnished but be aware that no soap, shampoo or dish soap is provided, the toilet room is also very small( like airplane or smaller) Also there is a $95 fee for bed linens as well as a cleaning fee and a deposit on top of what you already paid.

Reception were helpful and check in/ check out was easy. The underfloor heating didn’t work which meant the lounge area felt a little cold but reception gave us a portable heater which did work well. We were comfortable and I can imagine it would be stunning in good weather (we were unlucky with all the rain). There’s a tumble dryer and fresh linen etc. WiFi was excellent as was the tv choice for wet days. Deposit was returned quickly. There are extra fees (cleaning and bed linen) but the bed linen and cleaning were worth the money.

Disappointing

1. Many hidden fees, i.e. not included in payment at booking (e.g. cleaning, dog)
2. Sink in bathroom is too small - barely big enough to wash hands!!!
3. Furniture worn
4. Not nicely decorated as on photos

Lake bungalow was great!

Caroline was a great hostess, helping us with bike rentals and local navigation, and other entertainment ideas. We missed the early checkout time (10a.m.) but fortunately it was not a problem. We loved the bungalow and the lake and the local area, very easy trip into Amsterdam or Utrecht, and one of the very best sunsets we've ever seen in Europe!

Worst hotel experience EVER Never Again!!!!!!!!!!!

We booked this hotel while vacationing in France. We decided at the last minute to drive up and stay a couple of days. It listed the place as a hotel but it was far from that. You were supplied towels and dishes. But no soap or tissue. Now from my experiences staying at a hotel they at least supplied the basics in small quantities though. Now for the cost I don't want to forget the hidden fees that we didn't know until we arrived at the quote on quote hotel. I cant even remember the total but for the price it wasn't worth it. Its to far from everything and it wasn't even clean. Not to mention the bugs (spiders) crawling around.Also and don't let me forget the hot water tank (Big Issue) it only allowed 2 people to take a shower comfortably. When we complained front desk clerk said that the tank takes several hours to heat up. So that messed our day up with 4 adults trying to bathe that morning. I think if the room or cabin sleeps 4 people then 4 people should be able to shower. Never again and I warn any others to stay away and find a decent real HOTEL.

Insgesamt gut

Es war eine schöne Umgebung, ein schön eingerichtetes Haus und nette Leute. Das einzige was nicht gut war, war das dreckige Geschirr, Töpfe und Besteck. Das hat leider alles geklebt.
Ansonsten top!

Fin omgivning, vi bodde på en ö och fick ro över med roddbåt, väldigt mysigt men är man inte van kan det vara en bra information att få innan man bokar.

Flot sted

Udover lejen som udbydes, skal der betales 155 EURO til rengøring, uanset lejemålets længde, så dette lejemål kan blive lige så dyrt som et fem stjernet hotel, Hotels Com burde oplyse dette i den leje der fremgår ved booking, Vi havde håndværker 4 ud af fem dage da flere ting ikke virkede, komfur virkede først 3 dag vi var der, dog var personalet flinke og gav os gratis mad første aften. Det var tydeligt lejemålet ikke var klargjort til udlejning efter renovering, der var stadig plast og pap i ovn, opvaske maskine og køleskab, brændeovn måtte ikke bruges og var tildækket af sort plast, der var byggestøv mange steder og vinduer punkteret, træls når udsigten eller er fremragende.

Jeg håber Hotels Com vil se på udbudsprisen, så betaling for rengøring ses på den pris i oplyser, det er en stor skuffelse, at skulle betale for dette.

Abenteuerurlaub extrawagand

gebucht wurde die auf der Homepage abgebildete Ferienwohnung, bereitgestellt/ zur Verfügung wurde eine minderwertig Ferienwohnung mit sehr schöner Lage.Nicht Sauber, Essenreste von den Vorgängern, Spinnenweben, Schimmel im Kühlschrank.
Zu erreichen nur über Seeweg ca. 25 m \"schöne Idee\" abder nicht bei Orkanstärken mit Ruderboot bei Wellengänge von mehr als 1,5 m mit Hochschwangerer Frau und 2 Kindern.
Zur Notlösung wurden wir in unsere eigenliche \"gebuchte\" Ferienwohnung untergekommen, die aber vermietet, die dem anschein doppelt vermietet wurden. Die Ferienwohnung war nicht beheißt gewesen und hatten nicht die Möglichkeit - in die \"nicht\" zu erreichende Ferienwohnung zu gelangen - hatten keine Kleidung und Lebensmittel zu Verfügung - keine Unterstützung der Vermieter der Ferienwohnung.
Klärende Gespräche waren nicht möglich,meine Schwangere hatte kontinuierlich Stress , das die Geburt gefährdet war. Zudem Abreise erfolgte an dem folgenden Tag. Insgesamt 26 Std. Aufenthalt. Würde gerne noch dahin - aber irgendwie kann ich mich nichts dazu bewegen nochmal so ein flopp einzugehen.
