Summary created out of 140 reviews

The location directly on the Markermeer is praised by guests as the main highlight, offering beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. Cleanliness, however, receives mixed reviews: some guests find everything tidy, while others report serious shortcomings such as dirty dishes, dusty rooms, and even pest infestations. The staff is described as friendly, but limited reception opening hours and availability regularly cause frustration. An important concern is the busy main road (N307) running directly behind some of the houses, which causes significant noise disturbance, especially at night.

    We have a 4-person cottage; everything looks great on the inside. The kitchen is well-stocked, and everything is within easy reach. Everything is very clean. Since we’re staying in October, there isn’t much to do at the park itself. But there’s something for everyone in the surrounding area. It’s a reasonable drive from the larger cities. For example, we added a day trip to Volendam to our stay.

    Wij hebben een 4 persoons huisje alles ziet er tip top uit van binnen. Goed gevulde keuken en alles bij de hand. Alles is heel schoon. Omdat we in Oktober verblijven is er op het park zelf niet heel veel te doen. In de omgeving is voor ieder wat wils. Je zit op redelijke rijafstand van de grotere steden. Wij hebben er bijvoorbeeld een dagje Volendam aan vast geplakt.
