Summary created out of 133 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.

How could anyone even think of building a park just 10 meters away from a major thoroughfare? It’s like being at the TT in Assen or at an F1 race. Constant noise from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Trucks, screeching engines—if you open the window, you can’t even hear the TV. What a crappy location for 1,050 euros a week. A gas stove with half-working … burners, no cutting board, old pans that don’t cook a thing—what a mess! No one was at the front desk; the key box was already open with the code we’d received, and the license plate recognition didn’t work at the entrance…WHAT A GREAT WEEK AT EUROPARK—HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

If you arrive on the weekend, you’ll find yourself facing a locked gate. If you press the emergency button, you’ll be told that no one is there to help, and after a short while, the call is disconnected. So my partner, who has difficulty walking, had to struggle all the way to get to the lovely little cottage. If you really want peace and quiet … and don’t want constant traffic noise from the thoroughfare right behind the last row of houses, you should rent a place right by the ocean. Please at least put up a sound barrier. Oh, and… the cozy blanket had dog hair on it, the smoke detector went off when we got out of the shower, and the clock’s battery was dead.

Wenn man am Wochenende anreist steht man vor verschlossener Schranke. Drückt man den Notfallknopf wird man darüber informiert das keiner da ist um zu helfen und nach kurzer Zeitist ist der Anruf abgebrochen. Meine gehbehinderte Partnerin hat sich also den langen Weg langgequält um zum schönen Häuschen zu kommen. Wer wirklich Ruhe will und keinen dauer Straßenlärm von der Durchfahrtsstraße direkt hinter der letzten Hausreihe sollte sich direkt am Meer eine Unterkunft mieten. Bitte baut wenigstens eine Lärmschutzwand. Achja...Die Kuscheldecke hatte Hundehaare drauf, der Rauchmelder ist angegangen wenn man aus der Dusche gekommen ist und die Batterie von der Uhr war leer.

Very disappointing—the accommodation was extremely dirty upon arrival
We had been really looking forward to our vacation in a waterfront accommodation at EuroParcs. Unfortunately, the condition of the place was absolutely disappointing when we arrived. The accommodation was noticeably dirty and clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned: cobwebs … everywhere, dirty floors, hair in the bathroom, mold, and heavy grime in the shower, as well as a dirty kitchen, coffee maker, and refrigerator. There were also other issues with the furnishings. The photos speak for themselves.
We reported the issues right away on Saturday. We were told that no one was there over the weekend and that we should come back on Monday. We did just that. We were then told that the manager was in a meeting and that we should send an email with our complaint. We did so that same day, but received no response or resolution.
We also brought up the issues again at check-out. The staff member was friendlier this time and even took photos of the issues herself. After that, we never heard from EuroParcs again.
We also encountered problems with the gate upon arrival, and unfortunately, the check-in experience was not particularly friendly either.
I am deliberately leaving out the additional issues with billing through Belvilla/Check24 here, as EuroParcs cannot be held solely responsible for them.
Our conclusion: For waterfront accommodations in this price and quality range, we expected significantly more. It’s particularly disappointing that, despite multiple complaints and documented issues, we received no further response.this is a translation, click here for the original
Sehr enttäuschend, Unterkunft bei Ankunft stark verschmutzt
Wir hatten uns sehr auf unseren Urlaub in einer Waterfront-Unterkunft bei EuroParcs gefreut. Leider war der Zustand bei unserer Ankunft absolut enttäuschend. Die Unterkunft war deutlich verschmutzt und offensichtlich nicht ordentlich gereinigt: überall Spinnweben, dreckige Böden, Haare im Bad, Schimmel und starke Verschmutzungen in der Dusche sowie eine verschmutzte Küche, Kaffeemaschine und Kühlschrank. Auch weitere Mängel an der Einrichtung waren vorhanden. Die Bilder sprechen hier für sich.
Wir haben die Mängel direkt am Samstag reklamiert. Uns wurde gesagt, dass am Wochenende niemand mehr da sei und wir am Montag wiederkommen sollten. Das haben wir getan. Uns wurde dann mitgeteilt, der Chef sei gerade in einem Meeting, und wir sollten eine E-Mail mit unserer Reklamation schreiben. Das haben wir noch am selben Tag gemacht, ohne anschließende Reaktion oder Nachbesserung.
Auch beim Check-out haben wir die Mängel nochmals angesprochen. Die Mitarbeiterin war diesmal freundlicher und hat sogar selbst Fotos von den Mängeln gemacht. Danach haben wir nie wieder etwas von EuroParcs gehört.
Bereits bei der Anreise gab es außerdem Probleme mit der Schranke, und der Check-in war leider ebenfalls nicht besonders freundlich.
Die zusätzlichen Probleme mit der Abrechnung über Belvilla/Check24 lasse ich hier bewusst außen vor, dafür kann EuroParcs nicht allein verantwortlich gemacht werden.
Unser Fazit: Für eine Waterfront-Unterkunft in diesem Preis- und Qualitätssegment haben wir deutlich mehr erwartet. Besonders enttäuschend ist, dass trotz mehrfacher Reklamation und dokumentierter Mängel keinerlei Rückmeldung mehr erfolgte. -

The oven was very difficult to use at first, and since no one came after 30 minutes when I called, I called again, and then they explained it well and it worked.

Der Ofen wahr anfangs sehr schwer zu bedienen und da keiner nach 30 min. Musste Mann noch mal anrufen.
Trotz des Ofens hat Mann aber da eigentlich eine schöne Wohnung die Aussicht ist super und man hat ein Schwimmbad und einen Freizeitpark in der Nähe.
