Guest Reviews

• marika (5/5): - Elérhető ár A telefon számon nem volt elérhető a gazda.
• Lorenzo (1/5): Un désastre - Rien Ce n’est pas représentatif aux photos de l’annonce. Nous n’étions pas prévu. Nous sommes arrivés tardivement donc pas eu le choix que de rester mais ce n’était pas du tout la roulotte prévu. Nous avons dormis au froid car les chauffages n’ étaient pas assez puissant et ce n’était pas très propre. Nous avons écourté notre séjour afin de ne pas dormir une deuxième nuit. Le petit déjeuner était correcte mais sans boisson chaude. Nous n’avons pas vu les propriétaires.
• Prabath (1/5): - The breakfast is not good at all. Nothing is good in there, the foot path to room was filled with after cows. ( no 2)
• gerda (3/5): -
• Diego (6/5): Falta un poco mas de arreglos locativos y los baños deberían quedar mas cerca - Esta rodeado de naturaleza ya que queda a las afueras de la ciudad. Falta un poco mas de aseo ya que hay muchos insectos dentro de los cuartos...no se describe que el desayuno toca prepararlo por uno mismo, entregan en una canasta pan, queso huevos y leche para uno mismo prepararlos.
• Adam (3/5): Property had potential, but was ruined by the infestation of flies - Lovely host, who provided a free breakfast with fresh ingredients from the farm. Useful to have cooking facilities, and pots and pans. Clean bathroom, although it is in a cabin about 10 metres from the wagon. Very near to Ransdorp, a quaint town with a nice pub, surrounded by the beautiful Dutch countryside (see photos below). Infested with flies! Literally hundreds of flies in the wagon in every area, which we attempted to clear out with bug spray. Even so, found it impossible to sleep due to the number of flies crawling over your body (be aware that we stayed here in early July; it may not be a problem outside of the summer season). Facilities were not very well kept. Steps to the front door were unstable, the guard against bugs on the window fell off, and the back door was difficult to close. For those wishing to explore Amsterdam location is not very central (about 7km, 30 minute cycle), although we were aware of this in advance so did not mind. Pleasantly surprised by the charm of the nearby town of Ransdorp. Had it not been for the persistent flies the stay would have been immeasurably better.
• van Mil (1/5): - Accommodatie niet schoon, heel veel vliegen in de “villa”. Foto’s lijken niet. Apart sanitair in een gebouwtje waarvoor je naar buiten moet. Voldeed absoluut niet aan de verwachtingen die je hebt van een “villa on wheels”. Wij zijn een half uur na aankomst weer vertrokken.
• Zoryana (7/5): - Frühstück war super!!! Zu viel Fliegen und Mücken..
• Diandra (7/5): -
• Tommy (7/5): - Hyggelig vogn på landet tæt på Amsterdam, utroligt venlige mennesker. Vognen kunne være bedre rengjort, der var ca 1.000.000 fluer og myg. Da vi om natten fik en torden byge, regnede det ind lige over den ene seng
• Ycanergures (7/5): Good price - Nice Owners - Serene Environment - Free Breakfast - The owner was helpful and nice Free breakfast-it wasn't our type of breakfast, but it was free Good wifi Serene environment because it is located in countryside If you dont have a car it's hard to reach there I know it's a farm, but the smell :/ I couldn't get answers to the several messages I sent beforehand
• Geza (10/5): Cool accommodation - Nice and helpful owner, calm area, free bicycle usage, quick wifi, great breakfast lack of mosquito net
• Hải (4/5): Disappointing -
• Simon (8/5): Very good -
• Marco (8/5): Very good - Cozy, lot of space, very easy Can’t really count on the bikes (they are gratis after all)
• Bahaeldeen (7/5): Good -
• Atul (8/5): Pleasant and different - Superb host and a good breakfast Entry could be better
• Orlov (8/5): Very good -
• Mateusz (9/5): Worth the money and the experience! - Nice countryside of amsterdam. The owners were really nice, home-made breakfast, overall great adventure and experience! We’re really happy!
• Liza (9/5): Excellent! - The place was really beautiful. Loved Diesel! Breakfast was great and filling. Really enjoyed the cycle riding in the plane roads. We were 6 people and we had 1 bathroom/toilet. Which was a bit uncomforatble. I hope it would have been better if we had 2 bathrooms/toilets.
• Hristo (7/5): Good -
• Matteo (6/5): An brief escape to nature and a new experience living on a farm. - Excellent position with nature all around just outside Amsterdam. Big private parking. The private bathroom although detached from the wagon is newly renovated, clean and comfortable to use. Breakfast was good especially the milk, the best I've had. Alex was polite. We had a prolem with the shower and he came to fix it right away. The cleanliness was a big issue. The inside of the wagon was dusty with dirty windows. The fridge wasn't clean. Our small balcony was with dirt and grime. The kitchen stove was dirty. Limited utensils with only one big pot which was missing a handle. They offered free bikes however only 4 out of 15 bikes actually worked.
• Sally (4/5): Disappointing - Alex, the host was so friendly and kind, I could not have expected a better host. The location was great and access to the bikes was really helpful. Staying on a farm was wonderful and I was not remotely upset by the elements of a working farm. The sheep's milk was amazing! Unfortunately, on the morning of our second day, the drains for the toilet backed up and this rose into the shower leaving the shower unusable. The host attempted to fix it, but this wasn't fixed properly and the same thing happened in the evening and next morning. Eventually, we were offered another shower to use but this did affect our stay. The waggon itself was relatively clean, with clean bedding and obvious areas were clean, but on further inspection, it needed a serious deep clean. The roof leaked and made one of the beds wet. There was also a lot of areas where this had obviously happened before and it looked like it needs some maintenance. The door in the bedroom area didn't shut or open, it was swollen due to the weather but it was partly ajar, which let in a lot of mosquitos. It is clear that the host is busy with farming and has the gypsy caravans as an extra income but I feel some time/money should be invested into them to improve standards. It is clear this is happening as there are new toilet blocks but investment is also needed in the waggons themselves and in improving the sanitary drainage.
• Dorota (8/5): Good value for money and easy drive to park and ride. - There was a shower outside, but it was for our private use which was nice. Great breakfast- we got fresh ingredients every morning. There were nothing in the windows to prevent mosquitoes and flies from coming inside. And no AC- just a small ventilator but it was not enough for the whole wagon. It was ok with the window open but then the flies.
• Martin (9/5): Superb - Such a beautiful spot on the farm, almost perfect the breakfest was.. interesting haha
• Devanga (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, comfortable and quiet. Lovely nature Need more WiFi signals to back wagons.
• Joe (9/5): Great value Easter break. - Excellent free breakfast, bikes available and very friendly and hospitable host. Cute wee cabin, in a cute village, cabin was a little cold at first but fine when the heating got going. Great Value all round. Only issue was the outside toilets, clean and looked after but going outside for the WC was inconvenient at night. To be expected However as it is a Gypsy Waggon, not a modern caravan.
• Ruth (10/5): Loved this place. - It was so relaxing waking up outside of the center. Nothing it was all absolutely fantastic!
