    Unfortunately, our experience with EuroParcs was absolutely terrible. We paid €1,100 for our stay, but what we got was absolutely not what we had booked or expected.
    We had reserved a villa, but upon arrival, we were given a regular house that didn’t match our reservation at all. When we filed a complaint about this, the employee was incredibly … unfriendly and unprofessional. Her response was literally that we’d just have to make do with it and that we could leave if we didn’t like it, but that we wouldn’t get our money back. What a terrible way to treat guests!
    On top of that, the house was incredibly dirty. There were cobwebs everywhere, and there were even crumbs left behind by previous guests. Outside, all the cushions were missing from the lounge set. The towels smelled awful, even when we had just taken the packaged towels out of the plastic bags.
    The beds were terrible, too. The mattresses were so bad that your head was much lower than the rest of your body. We absolutely couldn’t sleep on them and had to lay the mattresses on the floor in the living room to sleep there.
    And as if all that weren’t enough, we were expected to leave the place completely clean upon departure!
    The staff’s attitude was downright disrespectful, and the accommodations absolutely failed to meet basic expectations for hygiene and comfort.
    For €1,100, you expect clean, comfortable accommodations and, above all, normal and respectful treatment. Unfortunately, we received none of that.
    This was a very disappointing experience for us. We will definitely not be returning here, and based on our experience, we certainly cannot recommend EuroParcs.

    Onze ervaring bij EuroParcs was helaas ontzettend slecht. We hebben €1.100 betaald voor ons verblijf, maar wat we kregen was absoluut niet wat we hadden geboekt of verwacht.
    We hadden een villa gereserveerd, maar bij aankomst kregen we een gewone woning die totaal niet overeenkwam met onze reservering. Toen we hierover een klacht indienden, was de medewerkster ontzettend onvriendelijk en onprofessioneel. Haar antwoord was letterlijk dat we het ermee moesten doen en dat we mochten vertrekken als het ons niet beviel, maar dat we ons geld niet terug zouden krijgen. Wat een verschrikkelijke manier om met gasten om te gaan!
    Daarnaast was de woning ontzettend vies. Overal zaten spinnenwebben en er lagen zelfs kruimels van vorige gasten. Buiten ontbraken alle kussens van de loungeset. De handdoeken roken vreselijk, zelfs toen we de verpakte handdoeken net uit de plastic zakken haalden.
    Ook de bedden waren verschrikkelijk. De matrassen waren zo slecht dat je met je hoofd veel lager lag dan de rest van je lichaam. We konden er absoluut niet op slapen en moesten de matrassen op de vloer in de woonkamer leggen om daar te slapen.
    En alsof dat allemaal nog niet genoeg was, werd er van ons verwacht dat we de woning bij vertrek ook nog helemaal schoon zouden achterlaten!
    De houding van het personeel was ronduit respectloos en de accommodatie voldeed absoluut niet aan de basisverwachtingen van hygiëne en comfort.
    Voor €1.100 verwacht je een schone, comfortabele accommodatie en vooral een normale en respectvolle behandeling. Helaas hebben we niets van dat alles gekregen.
    Dit was voor ons een zeer teleurstellende ervaring. Wij komen hier absoluut niet meer terug en kunnen EuroParcs op basis van onze ervaring zeker niet aanbevelen.

    A wonderful relaxing vacation at Cube Exclusif 4!
    Highly recommended!
    The three of us stayed in one of the Cubes for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The vacation left us with an extremely positive impression. The weather was on our side, too—it was sunny, so we were able to enjoy the peaceful autumn days to the fullest. A big … plus for us was that you’re allowed to fish in the park’s waters (albeit only for sport). We were assigned a wonderful spot where we could completely unwind.
    Everything in the house was great, too. It can easily accommodate up to 5 people. The kitchenette is excellent and equipped with everything you need. The only thing we personally missed was an air fryer, but luckily we’d brought our own. Bedding is included, though you have to make the beds yourself unless you pay an extra fee.
    One minor drawback we have to mention is the lack of towels—at least one per person could have been provided. There was also no hand soap. While we bring our own shower supplies anyway, we had to buy hand soap at the supermarket. However, this is less of a criticism and more of a suggestion for improving the service.
    One minor drawback was communication: Some staff members speak German, but not all of them. On some days, this was a bit inconvenient for us, since we speak very little English. We also seem to have had a visit from a small rodent at night—a little mouse or hamster was running around in the hallway.
    Despite these minor issues, we’re extremely satisfied. We had a wonderful, relaxing time and can absolutely recommend this park for a relaxing getaway! We’d love to come back.

    A great vacation at ube Exclusif 4!
    We highly recommend it!
    The three of us stayed in one of the cubes for three nights and were absolutely delighted. The vacation left us with nothing but positive impressions. The weather didn’t disappoint either: it was sunny, and we were able to fully enjoy the quiet autumn days. A huge plus for us was that we could go fishing in the park’s ponds (even if just for the sport of it). They picked out a wonderful spot for us where we were able to truly rest and relax.
    Everything in the house itself was great, too. It can comfortably accommodate up to 5 people with no problem. The kitchen area is wonderful and has everything you need. The only thing we were missing was an air grill, but fortunately, we brought our own. Bed linens are provided, but you have to make the beds yourself unless you order this service for an additional fee.
    On the downside, I’d like to note the lack of towels—they could have at least provided one per person. There was also no liquid hand soap. We always bring our own shower supplies, but we had to make a special trip to the supermarket for soap. This isn’t so much harsh criticism as a suggestion for improving the service in the future.
    Another minor inconvenience was the language barrier: some staff members speak German, but by no means all of them. On certain days, this made us feel a bit uncomfortable, since we speak very little English. And among the minor shortcomings, I’d mention the presence of rodents—at night, something was scurrying down the hallway, either a mouse or a hamster.
    Despite these minor issues, we’re very happy with our trip. We had a wonderful time and definitely recommend this park for relaxation! We’d love to come back here again.

    Toller Erholungsurlaub im Cube Exclusif 4!
    Sehr zu empfehlen!
    Wir waren zu dritt für drei Nächte in einem der Cubes und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Der Urlaub hat bei uns einen überaus positiven Eindruck hinterlassen. Auch das Wetter hat mitgespielt – es war sonnig, sodass wir die ruhigen Herbsttage in vollen Zügen genießen konnten. Ein großes Plus für uns war, dass man in den Gewässern des Parks (wenn auch nur als Sportfischen) angeln darf. Uns wurde ein wunderbarer Platz zugewiesen, an dem wir uns vollkommen erholen konnten.
    Im Haus war ebenfalls alles super. Dort können problemlos auch bis zu 5 Personen untergebracht werden. Die Küchenzeile ist hervorragend und mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Das Einzige, was uns persönlich gefehlt hat, war eine Heißluftfritteuse, aber die hatten wir zum Glück selbst mitgebracht. Bettwäsche ist inklusive, allerdings muss man die Betten selbst beziehen, wenn man keinen Aufpreis zahlt.
    Als kleinen Minuspunkt müssen wir das Fehlen von Handtüchern erwähnen – mindestens eins pro Person hätte bereitgestellt werden können. Auch Seife für die Hände war nicht vorhanden. Während wir Duschsachen ohnehin selbst mitbringen, mussten wir Handseife erst im Supermarkt nachkaufen. Das ist jedoch weniger Kritik als vielmehr ein Verbesserungsvorschlag für den Service.
    Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen war die Verständigung: Einige Mitarbeiter sprechen Deutsch, aber eben nicht alle. An manchen Tagen war das für uns etwas unkomfortabel, da wir nur sehr wenig Englisch sprechen. Zudem hatten wir nachts wohl Besuch von einem kleinen Nager – im Flur lief nachts eine kleine Maus oder ein Hamster herum.
    Trotz dieser Kleinigkeiten sind wir super zufrieden. Wir haben uns wunderbar erholt und können diesen Park für eine entspannte Auszeit absolut weiterempfehlen! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

    Отличный отдых в ube Exclusif 4!
    Очень рекомендуем!
    Мы отдыхали втроем, снимали один из кубов на три ночи и остались в полном восторге. Отпуск оставил исключительно позитивные впечатления. Погода тоже не подвела: было солнечно, и мы смогли в полной мере насладиться тихими осенними деньками. Огромным плюсом для нас стало то, что на водоемах парка можно ловить рыбу (пусть и ради спортивного интереса). Нам подобрали замечательный участок, где удалось полноценно отдохнуть и расслабиться.
    В самом доме тоже все было отлично. Там без проблем можно с комфортом разместить до 5 человек. Кухонная зона прекрасная, есть все необходимое. Единственное, чего нам не хватило — это аэрогриля, но, к счастью, мы привезли его с собой. Постельное белье предоставляется, но заправлять кровати нужно самим, если не заказывать эту услугу за доплату.
    Из минусов хочется отметить отсутствие полотенец — хотя бы по одному на человека можно было бы и выдать. Также не оказалось жидкого мыла для рук. Принадлежности для душа мы всегда берем с собой, а вот за мылом пришлось специально идти в супермаркет. Это скорее не жесткая критика, а пожелание для улучшения сервиса в будущем.
    Еще одним небольшим неудобством стал языковой барьер: некоторые сотрудники говорят по-немецки, но далеко не все. В отдельные дни это создавало дискомфорт, так как по-английски мы говорим совсем немного. Ну и к мелким недочетам отнесу присутствие грызунов — ночью в коридоре кто-то шустро бегал, то ли мышка, то ли хомячок.
    Несмотря на эти мелочи, мы очень довольны поездкой. Мы прекрасно отдохнули и однозначно рекомендуем этот парк для релакса! С удовольствием вернемся сюда снова.
