A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“So I just can't say enough about our stay at Giethoorn Lodge. There was 4 of us in our group and the home was a perfect size for us. We chose Giethoorn on a fluke before doing a river cruise from Amsterdam, and we are so glad we did. The village is as cute as can be. Bert and Marie are perfect hosts and made us feel very comfortable about being in their world. We actually got to spend some personal time with them and very much enjoyed it. We live in California and we all travel quite often, we all agree that this was one of our best experiences....ever.”
“Rent a home with canal access to the loveliest town on earth. Bert and Marie are gracious hosts and if you ask nicely they'll allow you use of their canoe.”
“Nous avons adoré notre séjour au giethoorn longe. La maison était spacieuse et bien équipée. Nous étions au calme dans la nature. Il y avait des vélos à disposition et un bateau que nous avons pu louer. Le village de giethoorn est pittoresque. Bert et Marie sont des hôtes très réactifs et soucieux du bien être des locataires.”
“My family and I (4 of us) spent 2 nights in Bert and Marie's lovely lodge. The experience we had was absolutely amazing, and we wish we could stay longer. The lodge was big enough for 4 of us, very comfortable and clean. It was beautifully decorated inside out with a hint of traditional Dutch style. We arrived at the train station quiet late, and there weren't any buses running as most of the businesses closes around 7pm. Bert was super kind that he drove all the way to the station to pick us up! He even made the reservation with the restaurant nearby to make sure they don't close before we arrive. There are bikes and boats available for renting (hand rowing boats are free to use). Bert and Marie gave us lots of tips for exploring Giethoorn village from different angles. We received eggs and honey from Bert and Marie's own farm as gifts. They are so warm and thoughtful, they can't be better hosts. We really enjoyed our stay.”
“We are very glad with all the positive reviews and look forward hosting you all. Thank you all, and we hope to see you again soon. Kind regards Bert and Marie”
“It was amazing home but there is very bad smell when we enter the home”
“We were a party of 5 including 2 kids, spending 5 days at the Giethoorn lodge last Summer. We had a memorable and everlasting memory. Bert and his wife Marie were courteous, polite and helpful. The lodge is well equipped. It includes a fitted kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a lounge and an outside table with a parasol where you can have your breakfast by the canal. The lounge has also a sauna facility. Bert a very patient gentleman, taught us how to ride the boat and soon we were on the lakes and canals surrounding the famous Giethoorn. Bert and Marie rented us their boat for a meagre amount of money and a full tank of gasoline every morning before we adventure in the lakes and canals. Bert and Marie treated us with fresh local honey and beautiful flowers. A private parking is available. Bikes are available for hiring. We had free kayaks for use. If you need to buy food , Spark is only 10 minutes drive away to the centre. The property is well maintained. We had such a lovely reminiscence that we are returning this Summer. Thank you Bert , Marie and your sons for being such a lovely hosts and made our stay there memorable. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android”
