Summary created out of 2320 reviews

Park 412 is appreciated for its friendly and helpful staff and the modern, well-maintained chalets that are often beautifully situated by the water. Guests praise the tranquil location amidst the meadows, the smooth check-in experience, and the well-kept gardens. The park serves as an ideal base for trips to Hoorn, Amsterdam, and the IJsselmeer. Areas for improvement include the lack of on-site dining and activities, varying experiences with cleanliness and maintenance, and mosquito nuisance due to the absence of window screens.

    The park is in a very quiet location. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect place for you. I highly recommend it for that reason. It’s about 5–6 km from Hoorn, and if you want to go shopping, Hoorn is your only option.

    The houses are very nice and look exactly like they do in the pictures. The kitchen is also clean and … has everything you need.

    My complaint this time concerns cleanliness. The house had been tidied up, but only superficially cleaned. There were already cobwebs in the bedroom and on the walls in the dining area. There was a thick layer of dust under the couch and under the beds. The apartment also needs a complete paint job.

    I think that if the owners want the park to have a good reputation, a follow-up inspection should be conducted after every cleaning.

    Another issue: The windows don’t have mosquito screens, and I think it’s impossible to sleep there during the warmer months because of the mosquitoes.

    The three women at the front desk are very nice and were also helpful, especially the lady at the entrance. 👍 That’s why I’m giving them 5 stars.

    Otherwise, the park is beautiful—green everywhere. I recommend it, and I’ll definitely be back. 😊

    Der Park liegt in einer sehr ruhigen Lage. Wer seine Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Ich empfehle ihn dafür sehr. Er liegt ca. 5-6 km von Hoorn entfernt, und wenn man einkaufen möchte, ist Hoorn die einzige Möglichkeit.

    Die Häuser sind sehr schön und sehen genauso aus wie auf den Bildern. Die Küche ist auch sauber und es fehlt nichts.

    Meine Beschwerde dieses Mal betrifft die Sauberkeit. Das Haus war geräumt, aber nur oberflächlich gereinigt. Spinnennetze waren schon im Schlafzimmer und auch an den Wänden im Essbereich. Unter der Couch und unter den Betten war komplett Staub. Die Wohnung müsste auch mal komplett gestrichen werden.

    Ich denke, wenn die Besitzer einen guten Ruf für den Park haben möchten, muss nach jeder Reinigung eine Nachkontrolle gemacht werden.

    Ein weiterer Punkt: Die Fenster haben keine Mückengitter und ich denke, in den warmen Monaten ist es unmöglich dort zu schlafen wegen der Mücken.

    Die 3 Mitarbeiterinnen an der Rezeption sind sehr nett und waren auch hilfsbereit, insbesondere die Dame am Eingang.👍deswegen 5 Sterne für sie.

    Ansonsten ist der Park schön, überall grün. Ich empfehle ihn und ich komme immer wieder.😊
