Spaarnwoude

Clean, well-equipped cottage, very close to Amsterdam with free parking at the nearby train station, 3.5€ travel time to Central Station which is 10 minutes away.

When we arrived, everything looked fine at first glance, but it didn’t take long before we started noticing problems. The kitchen was missing basic equipment like pots, pans, and even spoons. There was no toilet paper, no dish soap, and no dishwasher tablets either. After our first shower, we realized the shower was leaking straight through the wall into the room. We had to urgently use T-shirts to stop the water so the room wouldn’t flood. After the first night, we were freezing and ended up getting sick. The temperature was set to 15°C and kept dropping on its own, even when we tried to turn it up. When we contacted reception, they only provided us with pans, and to make things worse, the temperature was lowered even further to 10°C. The washing machine and dryer were also a problem. Even after paying, they didn’t start and asked for another payment. Only after paying again did they actually work, so we basically had to pay double just to wash and dry our clothes. Overall, we do not recommend this accommodation. We are very disappointed and honestly shocked by the way everything was handled.

Damn what a shitty mattress

TERRIBLE A super nice environment but nothing is what it seems as soon as you think to enter the oh so cozy cottage. 750 euros for 3 nights in a sickeningly dirty cottage. Went home in the evening because sleeping in 1 and all mold was no good, as soon as you walked into the room you already smelled how musty it was and that the walls were just bubbling. Also, we wanted to make the beds and wanted to put the cover around the bed so we pushed the mattresses a little to the side to get a good reach and we see a pair of underpants lying between the mattresses, sickening. Dust and cobwebs everywhere, blood drops on the bathroom cabinets. Kitchen dirty, stains on the couch cushions, also looked like it had never been mopped. Complained to the front desk in the morning and the night before emailed them right away and said they were very sorry and would have a cleaning team clean it again right away. We came back to the house in the afternoon and nothing had been done except for the underpants which had been removed. Furthermore, nothing was done about cleaning. Furthermore, they would not offer us anything else or money back guarantee. Only thing we got months later were the "final cleaning costs". While there is never cleaned in the first instance. All in all terrible, terrible service and terrible weekend. If I remember correctly it was house number 22 or 23. Never again and I advise against anyone ever coming here again. 750 euros to the hilt. And then not even to talk about the mold where you are sleeping right next to your nose, it makes you sick!
