Guest Reviews

• Dorien (9/5): - Zeer ruime kamer, heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt.
• YuHsin (10/5): - The breakfast was amazing! The host Christine is so lovely.
• MIRKO (8/5): - Pulita e bella zona Bagno separato da una sola tenda, non c’è una porta e se si viaggia per lavoro puó essere un pó imbarazzante
• Brigitte (10/5): Alles was prima, wanneer ik volgende keer naar Gent kom zal ik hier opnieuw boeken. - Alles was prima, klopte helemaal met de beschrijving op de website. Voor mij was de ligging uitstekend, tussen station en UZ Gent. De kamer was rustig, ontbijt prima. Het feit dat ik mijn bagage een dag later kon ophalen vond ik heel behulpzaam. Ik kan niets bedenken.
• Mariette (8/5): Heel prettig verblijf! - Hartelijke ontvangst. De accommodatie was zeer schoon en ligt in een mooie wijk. Goed bed. Fijn dat je in de straat kunt parkeren. Kosten €4,20 voor 24 uur. De accomodatie ligt iets buiten het centrum. Klein half uur lopen naar het stadscentrum. Dit vonden wij echter geen probleem en kozen hier juist voor.
• yuanbin (10/5): -
• Karen (8/5): A wonderful stay, with a super breakfast and a lovely host. - A lovely building in a great area. Perfect to walk to the bus stop. Most was perfect but a little different having a curtain across the bathroom instead of a door.
• Dennis (10/5): Very quaint and cozy. - The breakfast was excellent. The location was further from the train than I expected, but the accommodations more than made up for that. Nothing
• Roper (8/5): -
• Rocio (10/5): Excelente - Me encanto el trato , el servicio …. Todo súper limpio Súper recomendable

• Joan (10/5): We were warmly greeted in spite of our late arrival due to flight delays.Breakfast was served on our schedule and helped - Comfort and quiet. Excellent breakfast. Hostess Christine was extremely gracious and engaging. Nothing
• Van Der Maaten (10/5): Heel fijn verblijf. - Heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt. Gastvrije plek in mooie wijk ten zuiden van het centrum. Makkelijk te bereiken en voldoende parkeergelegenheid.
• Joaquim (10/5): Un lloc còmode, tranquil i net - Ben comunicat en transport públic, un barri tranquil i l'allotjament era còmode i net. La distribució de l'allotjament pel que fa al dormitori i el bany és estrany.
• Bert (9/5): -
• Elena (8/5): 5/5 no 10/10 - The property is lovely, but 15 minutes far away from the station, and 30 minutes far away from the city centre Only one restaurant at the corner, but amazing
• Annie (8/5): - Geen of moeilijk parkeren

• Sien (9/5): Voor de gastvrouw zou ik zeker teruggaan. - Zeer fijne gastvrouw! De kamer is heel basic - maar alles is aanwezig.
• Uwe (9/5): Perfekt für meinen Business Trip - Fußläufig zur Uni und zu öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Damit war man recht schnell in der Altstadt. Im Zimmer war alles vorhanden, was man so braucht. Alles war sehr sauber. Parken konnte man direkt vor dem Haus. Das Haus und die Familie sind sehr geschichtsträchtig und interessant. Hier kann ich tatsächlich nichts einwenden!
• Jamie-Lee (9/5): -
• kathryn (8/5): Lovely host in an Air B&B outside of Ghent center. - This was a true Air B&B, with the hostess greeting us upon arrival, showing us around, and taking us to our room, which was upstairs and decorated in a quaint and homey style. She was absolutely lovely, and gave us all the information we might have needed. There was coffee available in the room, and breakfast attainable in the downstairs dining room, for additional cost. It was a bit further out of town than we originally thought, walking took about 30-40 minutes. The home was lovely and there was a personal touch, however if you prefer a hotel style stay, this is not for you.
• Azra (1/5): it was horrible experience for us -
• Nadine (9/5): Fijne B&B! - Het is een fijne B&B, met een lieve gastvrouw. De kamer is zeer ruim en het bed is zeer comfortabel. Ook de badkamer was enorm ruim. Lekker ontbijt!
• Liliia (10/5): - Очень благодарны хозяйке апартаментов Кристин за ее гостеприимство, внимание, домашнюю атмосферу и вкусные завтраки! Отель расположен недалеко от вокзала, в зеленом районе с парками, уютные аппартаменты со всеми необходимыми удобствами.
• Paola (9/5): -
• Emmanuelle (8/5): -
• Ekaterine Rukhadze (9/5): -
• Loes (10/5): Een rustige nacht in een charmante b&b - De b&b ligt in een prachtige rustige buurt, de kamer waar wij sliepen (Fanny) was ook echt groot, perfect voor twee vriendinnen.
• Joshua (9/5): Superb -
• Ben (9/5): Superb -
• Viktoria (9/5): Superb - The landlady was very nice and accommodating, the place was comfortable and at a good lication close to stops but also 30/40min walk from important places. I really liked the album showing the renomation of the place. Would definitely recommend staying there! The room was clean and tidy overall, bit somewhat dusty, especially the floor.
• Furkan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tran (10/5): It was a lovely stay. The charming story by Christine added a personal touch to the experience. - Comfy bed, very clean and well organized room, within the beautiful city of Ghent.
• Alain (9/5): Superb -
• João (10/5): great, charming place - Excellent and helpful host, beautiful place with a lot of history. thank you!
• Shreya (8/5): Very good -
• Sula (10/5): Exceptional - The B&B is in a lovely house and carefully renovated. The house also ties in with the story of Gent, so it was a great
• Laura (8/5): Lovely quiet B&B in Ghent - A lovely B&B option in Ghent- it's in a beautiful neighbourhood and the surroundings are great, quiet and felt very safe. It's very near to the main train station which was great as I was moving to a different city everyday whilst I was in Belgium so for me that was important. My room was huge- much larger than I'd anticipated, with beautiful big windows across the leafy front street. I slept very well! Facilities are great and there's everything you could want and need. Bathroom/ shower was especially lovely to use in the morning. I didn't take breakfast so can't comment on if it was good or not but it's not included in the room price option I made. I ended up self checking in, which was fine in the end. It's a 30-40 minute walk into the centre of Ghent which is quite a walk and that's mainly along busy main roads so it did feel quite out of the way. I tended to walk into Ghent centre and then get a tram or bus back. Transport options stop very close to the B&B so it was pretty convenient in that sense. However if you don't mind a meander there's some lovely streets between the B&B and the centre with less touristy cafes and shops which are well worth a look at. Room was lovely and was overall very clean (bathroom and linens), but the room was quite dusty and wooden floor was not cleaned well, so could be some improvement there. I'm not sure if I could have kept my luggage there but given the nature of the self check in I didn't want to be restricted on times, so I found a hotel round the corner where you can get cheap day storage.
• Lisa (9/5): Superb -
• Mingyue (10/5): Exceptional - The room is very comfortable, and the host lady was very kind and informative. She also told us the story of her family and the house, which is very nice to hear. Everything is great honestly, but I found some spider web at the corner of a window, but there's not many dusts in the room so it's fine. But the double bed is actually two twin beds with a connector in the middle, sometimes I feel like I fall in the creek between the beds. but it's no big deal.
• Benjamin (7/5): Good -
• Jenni (8/5): Convenient to station - Comfortable beds 2 flights stairs
• Emily (10/5): Comfortable, felt very safe. - Very spacious and owner very nice and helpful A weird smell in the room, but got used to it
• Gary (9/5): Charming BnB - The room was large, comfortable but I was given a complimentary upgrade. Good location to train station. I only spoke to the host on the telephone and didn't meet at all. I didn't see anyone for the 2 days I was there. As it was listed as a BnB I expected breakfast to be included but it was 17euro extra so I declined.
• Eike (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (9/5): Just excellent - hope to return some day - Location within walking distance of the station and a warm welcome Nothing really - breakfast superb
• Rebecca (9/5): Great stay! - Very comfy and well equipped room with everything you need. Also, great to have a shared kitchen access and a small fridge in the room! Really liked the stay. I find 17€ for breakfast quite a lot, but it probably depends on what you expect from a breakfast.
• Frederick (10/5): I very much enjoyed staying at this B&B! - Christine was an excellent hostess who went the extra mile to ensure that I enjoyed my stay. The breakfast I enjoyed was sumptuous and featured a large variety of cheeses, eggs, bread and pastries, a latte and much more. It fortified me for the long day of sightseeing that I had planned. The B&B is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood.
• Jitse (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. I had two requests for my check in and out times and they perfectly facilitated. Thanks Christine!
• Charles (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay of 2 nights - wish we could have stayed longer. - The host, Christine, was very welcoming and chatted to us about the history behind the name of the B and B which was very interesting. Breakfast was amazing - there was so much to choose from and we had enough for lunch as well! Our room was very comfortable too. Paying for the on street parking.
• Robert (7/5): Good -
• Mariette (9/5): Superb -
• Branko (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (9/5): Enjoyable. - Room was clean & comfortable. Excellent shower.
• Mathilde (8/5): Very good -
• Anthony (8/5): Very good - The room was spacious, especially the bathroom. The owners left a kettle and some instant coffee in the room. They also gave me a slightly early check-in. There was a small balcony, and several of the windows had insect screens, which was useful in summer. The location is a bit far from the centre, but at the same time, it's relatively close to the main station. And there are buses and trams that will take you to the historic heart of Ghent. No complaints about the property at all. However, in terms of the area, it's quite hard to find open shops in the evening. So if you want anything, make sure you pick it up earlier in the day. That's all; everything else was good :-)
• Greg (8/5): Clean and spacious double room in beautiful Ghent - Nice top floor room, not too far from train station and a 30min walk from town. Room was spacious and clean, with a very hospitable manager. No complaints. Price was not cheap, but this seemed to be the norm for Ghent, and by local comparison the price is not unreasonable.
• Monika (5/5): Very nice location. Due to hot weather, the room was very hot too. - Very nice location. Due to hot weather, the room was very hot too. A bit father from the centre, about 3/4 an hour by walk.
• Filip (10/5): Perfect - Everything There wasnt anything i didnt like
• Charilaos (8/5): Very good - A good, clean and quiet place to rest It is rather far from city center, and also not easy to find
• Simon (8/5): Just what we needed for a short stay - Clean, spacious, quiet and affordable Breakfast was not available due to decorating
• Anonymous (10/5): Definitely worth coming back! - The room was spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. There was free water in the room. The owner was very kind and helpful. I had everything I needed for a one-night’s stay. I liked everything:)
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional -
