"Paternoster als locatie "is de omweg niet echt waard". Guesthouse Gonana is prima."

Excellent

8.0

De locatie, het uitermate vriendelijke Gonana-team,...

Het was echt meer dan fullhouse tijdens ons verblijf. Dit had voor gevolg dat het ontbijt in shifts werden georganiseerd, wat niet altijd vlot verliep. Dat was zeker niet aan de dames van het team te wijten, maar gewoon té veel gasten (ook van buitenuit...) voor de beperkte ruimte ontbijt.

Very Good

Die Lage ist gut

Es gab mit einer der beiden managerinnen eine sehr unfreundliche Begrüßung, das ging auch anderen Gästen so. Die Stimmung im Service extrem schlecht. Das guesthouse ist schön, die Lage sehr gut, aber es wird schlecht geführt. Keine safe, keine laundry, ei mit speck und Pilzen, nur eine beilage geht und so weiter....

The location,staff, breakfast all great.

We had room five a queen room with a pool view from the window. The room was ok but the sound proofing was terrible from the room above and adjacent. You would need to be a heavy sleeper for this room. Unfortunately e are not. Also the sound of the adjacent entrance door being opened and shut in the middle of the night was not good.
