Summary created out of 209 reviews

The park is beautifully situated in a wooded, peaceful setting and offers modern lodges with ample space. Guests appreciate the central location for trips to Utrecht, Amsterdam, and Amersfoort, as well as the facilities including a pool with slide, playgrounds, and daily children's animation. The friendly reception staff are frequently mentioned, along with the convenience of parking directly at your lodge. At the same time, cleanliness in many accommodations falls short: guests report dirty dishes, stains on walls and bathrooms, and worn bedding. The accessibility of reception and inconsistent opening hours of the restaurant and snack bar also cause frustration, as does the absence of air conditioning during warm periods.

    The house can be a bit cleaner and the other reviews about the restaurant are still applicable. We called for the reservation and we always went 1H before our standard diner time. Other than that the place is great!

    Disappointing and not transparent

    We deliberately booked “Hackfort Wood Hottub 6” through Booking.com. Later, I happened to see on the official EuroParcs website that you have to pay an extra €50 to use the hot tub, plus a €35 deposit. If I hadn’t checked their website myself, I probably wouldn’t have found this out until I arrived.

    Other additional fees, such as those for a pet, made-up beds, and towels, were also not clearly visible on Booking.com, in my opinion, and got lost among other information. For example, when booking, I didn’t see that there was an extra charge for made-up beds and towels, and I only found out after receiving a message from EuroParcs.

    When I contacted EuroParcs about the hot tub, I was told that it was unfortunate that this wasn’t clear to us and that they “don’t have full control over what Booking.com does or doesn’t list.” No solution and not even an apology. After a few messages, I no longer felt like engaging in an endless discussion.

    Subsequently, Booking.com told us over the phone that EuroParcs is responsible for the information they provide.

    When you book a property with “Hot Tub” in the name, you expect that the additional €50 required to actually use it will be clearly stated before booking—not that you’ll have to figure it out for yourself afterward. Unfortunately, the way EuroParcs handled this left me with a very negative impression.

    Teleurstellend en niet transparant

    Wij boekten via Booking.com bewust “Hackfort Wood Hottub 6”. Toevallig zag ik later op de officiële website van EuroParcs dat je €50 extra moet betalen om de hottub te kunnen gebruiken, plus €35 borg. Als ik niet zelf op hun website had gekeken, had ik dit waarschijnlijk pas bij aankomst ontdekt.

    Ook andere bijkomende kosten, zoals voor een huisdier, opgemaakte bedden en handdoeken, waren op Booking.com naar mijn mening niet duidelijk zichtbaar en gingen verloren tussen andere informatie. Zo zag ik bij het boeken bijvoorbeeld niet dat er extra betaald moest worden voor opgemaakte bedden en handdoeken en ontdekte ik dit pas na een bericht van EuroParcs.

    Toen ik EuroParcs over Hottub aansprak, kreeg ik te horen dat het jammer is dat het voor ons niet duidelijk was en dat zij “niet de volledige controle hebben over wat Booking.com wel of niet vermeldt”. Geen oplossing en zelfs geen excuses. Na een aantal berichten had ik geen behoefte meer aan een eindeloze discussie.

    Vervolgens vertelde Booking.com ons telefonisch juist dat EuroParcs verantwoordelijk is voor de informatie die zij aanleveren.

    Als je een accommodatie boekt met “Hottub” in de naam, verwacht je dat €50 extra om deze daadwerkelijk te kunnen gebruiken duidelijk vóór het boeken wordt vermeld, en niet dat je daar toevallig achteraf zelf achter moet komen. Helaas heeft de manier waarop EuroParcs hiermee omging bij mij een erg negatieve indruk achtergelaten.
