    Unfortunately, this was by far the most disappointing place we’ve ever booked through Airbnb.

    Shortly after we arrived, we had the feeling that something was wrong with the place. More and more unusually large moths kept appearing in the tent. When we tried to close the windows, we discovered several moth nests right on the windows. Since the front desk was already closed, we spoke to the manager of the restaurant on the premises. Unfortunately, we were simply told to just wipe the nests away.

    Later that day, we also found a dead bird under the bed. At that point, we had already decided that we would leave the accommodation the next morning. As the evening wore on, however, the insect infestation got worse and worse. We got rid of an estimated twelve moths in the tent, but new ones kept appearing all the time. Eventually, we no longer felt comfortable in the accommodation at all and decided to leave that very same night.

    We then tried to reach the emergency number provided. We called a total of three times. The first two calls went to voicemail after a few rings; on the third call, we were routed directly to voicemail after the very first ring. We also didn’t receive a callback or a follow-up the next day to check if everything was okay and find out what had happened.

    Since we could no longer safely continue our journey at that point, we had no choice but to spend the night in the car and contact Airbnb. As a result, not only was the night lost, but the following day of our vacation was practically ruined as well.

    We would like to give a positive shout-out to Airbnb Support, which made an effort to find a solution within the limits of its capabilities. However, we were very disappointed with the condition of the accommodation and how the situation was handled.

    I also informed the host directly through Airbnb about the entire situation and described all the problems. To this day, however, I have not received any responseβ€”neither an apology nor a follow-up nor any form of reaction.

    Of course, we were aware that insects can occasionally appear in a nature-oriented accommodation. Our review is expressly not directed against individual insects, but rather against the extent of the infestation and how the situation was handled. We cannot and do not wish to judge whether the other accommodations are also affected.

    With this review, we do not intend to discourage anyone from staying there; we simply wish to share our personal experience. Looking back, we wish we had read such an honest review before bookingβ€”perhaps then we would have been spared that very distressing night. This experience has left a lasting impact on me and still weighs on my mind today.

    Leider war dies die mit Abstand enttΓ€uschendste Unterkunft, die wir bisher ΓΌber Airbnb gebucht haben.

    Schon kurz nach unserer Ankunft hatten wir das Gefühl, dass mit der Unterkunft etwas nicht stimmt. Im Zelt tauchten immer mehr außergewâhnlich große Motten auf. Als wir die Fenster schließen wollten, entdeckten wir mehrere Mottennester direkt an den Fenstern. Da die Rezeption bereits geschlossen war, wandten wir uns an den Betreiber des Restaurants auf dem GelÀnde. Leider wurde uns lediglich gesagt, wir sollten die Nester einfach wegwischen.

    Im Laufe des Tages fanden wir außerdem einen toten Vogel unter dem Bett. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt stand für uns bereits fest, dass wir die Unterkunft am nÀchsten Morgen verlassen würden. Im Laufe des Abends wurde der Insektenbefall jedoch immer schlimmer. Wir haben schÀtzungsweise zwâlf Motten im Zelt beseitigt und trotzdem tauchten stÀndig neue auf. Irgendwann fühlten wir uns in der Unterkunft überhaupt nicht mehr wohl und beschlossen, sie noch in derselben Nacht zu verlassen.

    Daraufhin versuchten wir, die angegebene Notfallnummer zu erreichen. Wir riefen insgesamt dreimal an. Die ersten beiden Anrufe endeten nach einigen Klingelzeichen in der Mailbox, beim dritten Anruf wurden wir bereits nach dem ersten Klingeln direkt zur Mailbox weitergeleitet. Einen RΓΌckruf oder eine Nachfrage am nΓ€chsten Tag ob alles gut ist und was los war erhielten wir ebenfalls nicht.

    Da wir zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht mehr sicher weiterfahren konnten, blieb uns nichts anderes ΓΌbrig, als die Nacht im Auto zu verbringen und Airbnb zu kontaktieren. Dadurch war nicht nur die Nacht, sondern auch der folgende Urlaubstag praktisch verloren.

    Positiv hervorheben mΓΆchten wir den Airbnb-Support, der sich bemΓΌht hat, im Rahmen seiner MΓΆglichkeiten eine LΓΆsung zu finden. Mit dem Zustand der Unterkunft und dem Umgang mit der Situation waren wir jedoch sehr enttΓ€uscht.

    Ich habe den Gastgeber außerdem direkt über Airbnb über die gesamte Situation informiert und alle Probleme geschildert. Bis heute habe ich darauf jedoch keinerlei Antwort erhalten. Weder eine Entschuldigung noch eine Nachfrage oder irgendeine Form der Reaktion.

    Uns war selbstverstÀndlich bewusst, dass in einer naturnahen Unterkunft auch einmal Insekten auftreten kânnen. Unsere Bewertung richtet sich ausdrücklich nicht gegen einzelne Insekten, sondern gegen das Ausmaß des Befalls und den Umgang mit der Situation. Ob die anderen Unterkünfte ebenfalls betroffen sind, kânnen und mâchten wir nicht beurteilen.

    Mit dieser Bewertung mΓΆchten wir niemandem den Aufenthalt schlechtreden, sondern lediglich unsere persΓΆnliche Erfahrung teilen. RΓΌckblickend hΓ€tten wir uns gewΓΌnscht, eine solche ehrliche Bewertung vor unserer Buchung gelesen zu haben – vielleicht wΓ€re uns dann diese sehr belastende Nacht erspart geblieben. Dieses Erlebnis hat mich nachhaltig belastet und beschΓ€ftigt mich auch heute noch.

    We were in this park for a long weekend.
    We were able to bring our bags from the parking lot to the tent in a handcart. The park is car-free.
    We arrived in the rain and at 14 degrees and were freezing because the tent couldn't be heated. Although it says on the homepage that the tents are heated with pellet stoves. On the 2nd day we were given an electric heater, which we were very pleased about. It ran for 10 minutes, then the plug overheated. So we continued to freeze. The reception was somehow always dark.
    We would probably have enjoyed our stay more with heating.
    The tent was nicely furnished, just not a luxury. Everything you needed was there. The bed was very comfortable. I don't sleep that well at home. When the weather is nice you can sit on the terrace. There is enough space to play badminton.
    The bathroom was very nice, especially the shower. Unfortunately, there's not really any privacy in the bathroom as it's not really a separate room.
    The playground with restaurant and outdoor terrace is great for young parents. On the first morning we were woken up at 6:45 by dogs barking and loud chatter from the neighboring tent. This noise continued throughout the morning. There were a few gunshots the next night. On the 3rd night, motorcyclists banged past several times and there was a very loud bang that really worried me. All in all, we didn't have a relaxing short vacation for a lot of money.
    The park is dog-friendly. You are right in the forest and can go for a good walk. Waste garbage cans along the path for the dog bags would be an advantage. Unfortunately you have to get bread rolls in town. You can't get them in the park. But you can have breakfast in the restaurant.
    WLAN works perfectly.
    It's definitely nice there with small children and in summer.
    The tent was basically clean. Only the ladder in the children's room wasn't really as clean as it should have been.

    Wir waren für ein langes Wochenende in diesem Park. Unsere Taschen konnten wir vom Parkplatz mit Bollerwagen zum Zelt bringen. Der Park ist autofrei. Im Regen und bei 14 Grad angekommen haben wir erstmal gefroren, weil das Zelt nicht beheizbar war. Obwohl auf der Homepage steht, dass die Zelte mit Pelletâfen beheizt werden. Am 2.Tag bekamen wir einen Elektroofen über den wir uns sehr gefreut haben. Dieser lief 10 Minuten, dann überhitzte der Stecker. Also weiter frieren. Die Rezeption war irgendwie immer dunkel. Mit Heizung hÀtten wir den Aufenthalt wohl eher genossen. Das Zelt war nett eingerichtet, einfach kein Luxus. Es war alles vorhanden was man brauchte. Das Bett war sehr gemütlich. So gut schlafe ich zuhause nicht. An sich sitzt man bei schânem Wetter sehr schân auf der Terasse. Es ist genug Platz um Federball zu spielen. Das Bad war sehr schân, vorallem die Dusche. Leider gibt es im Bad nicht wirklich PrivatsphÀre, da es kein richtig abgetrennter Raum ist. Der Spielplatz mit Restaurant und Außenterasse ist für junge Eltern ansprechend. Am ersten Morgen wurden wir um 6:45 durch Hundegebell und lautes Gequatsche aus dem Nachbarzelt geweckt. Diese LautstÀrke zog sich über den ganzen Morgen. Die kommende Nacht gab es einige Schüsse. In der 3. Nacht knallten mehrfach Motorradfahrer vorbei und es gab einen sehr lauten Knall, der mich sehr beunruhigte. Alles in allem hatten wir keinen entspannten Kurzurlaub für viel Geld. Der Park ist hundefreundlich. Man ist direkt im Wald und kann gut spazieren gehen. Mülleimer am Weg für die Hundebeutel wÀre von Vorteil. Brâtchen muss man leider im Ort holen. Die bekommt man im Park nicht. Aber man kann im Restaurant frühstücken gehen. WLAN funktioniert einwandfrei. Mit kleinen Kindern und im Sommer ist es dort bestimmt schân. Das Zelt war grundlegend sauber. Nur die Leiter im Kinderzimmer war nicht wirklich so sauber wie sie hÀtte sein müssen.
