Guest Reviews
- Diarmuid (10/5): Perfect location, lovely property, gorgeous Ghent - Beautiful view of the water, spacious, clean, modern and tastefully decorated. Only one minute from the tram stop with two tram lines straight to the heart of the old town, which is also an easy walk. We would joyously come again.
- Maria (9/5): Romantic stay - Lovely stay, beautifully decorated apartment in a quiet part of the city. Only 15min walk to everything. The parking was very narrow and challenging if you have a big car.
- Ana Luiza (10/5): Aconchegante - Local com uma linda vista e aconchegante
- lo.drezet (9/5): Très bel appartement, au calme proche du centre - Très bel appartement, au calme et proche de tout, bien équipé et décoré sobrement et avec goût. Enregistrement et récupération des clés faciles. Centre ville proche pour les visites et parking public à 10mn à pied Literies un peu trop souples mais c'est une question de goût. On aurait apprécié un rouleau de papier d'hygiène en stock. mais c'est vraiment pour chipoter.

- Marga (10/5): - Sehr schöne, helle Wohnung mit Blick auf einen Kanal mit schöner Atmosphäre. Es ist alles da, was man braucht, auch die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und alles neu und sehr sauber!
Wir sind zu Fuß in die Innenstadt gegangen, es gibt aber auch gleich eine Straßenbahn. Für meinen Geschmack waren die Betten zu weich, aber das ist natürlich individuell...
- Viorel (9/5): -
- KIM DOKEUN (10/5): 최고 - 숙소 모든 면이 좋았습니다! 주차장이 다소 협소했습니다.
- Francesco (10/5): Meraviglioso! - Appartamento stupendo, spazioso, pulito, posizione comoda!! Top!
- Carola (9/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Laetitia (9/5): Super séjour à Gand - Très bien situé. Tramway au pied de l’immeuble pour rejoindre le centre ville.
Quartier calme et jolie vue sur la Coupure sous les fenêtres.
Hôte très agréable et disponible. Matelas un peu mou dans une des chambres.
Garage un peu étroit pour se garer mais nous étions prévenus.
- Flavia (9/5): - Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und nett eingerichtet, wir (zwei Pärchen) haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Plätze mit Blick auf den Kanal sind ein Highlight! Man muss wissen, dass der Parkplatz in der Tiefgarage nur was für erfahrene Fahrer und nicht zu große Autos ist.
- Carole (10/5): Très bel appartement au calme. - Très bel appartement, au bord de la Coupure. Calme et proche des trams. Appartement bien équipé avec un parking.
- Carmen (9/5): Heerlijk ontspannende, rustig gelegen plek met alle comfort en prima service! -
- Frédéric (10/5): - Super emplacement, appartement très agréable et bien équipé Rien
- GÜLSÜM (10/5): An expectional stay :) - Entering the apartment was very easy. We received an email with very clear instructions explaining everything step by step, and it only took us about two minutes to get inside.
It was a perfect holiday in every way. This was the best place I’ve ever rented on Booking. Communication was incredibly fast; no matter what I wrote, they always got back to me within an hour at the latest. I asked a lot of questions, and they answered all of them patiently and kindly, without ever getting tired of helping.
Since our flight arrived early, we asked for an early check-in, and they kindly allowed us to enter the apartment 2–3 hours earlier. The facilities of the apartment were excellent in every sense. The place was very spacious, bright, and warm. The neighborhood was very quiet, safe, and pleasant. And the view was absolutely stunning. Watching that view both in the morning and in the evening was a real pleasure; if only we had more time, we would have loved to stay one more day just for that view.
The apartment was very close to all the historical sights and main attractions of the city. We walked everywhere in at most 15 minutes, and it was never tiring at all. Overall, this was a stay I can highly recommend in every way. Thank you very, very much again for everything. Off course nothing
- Alain (10/5): Top ! - Topligging en Topaccomodatie.
- Yagmur (9/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): Perfect property to stay in Ghent but check out nearby car parking. - The space , view and location is fantastic. The car park is unusable for slightly bigger cars .
- adrielle (9/5): - Heel ruim en schoon appartement. Mooi ingericht en alles aanwezig! Slaapkamers liggen heel rustig. Ruime badkamer en fijne douche. Wij hadden wat problemen met de lift. Parkeergarage is prima voor medium auto.
- Patrick (10/5): A gem of an apartment. - The apartment was clean and exceptionally well presented. It had everything needed to have a relaxing stay in Ghent. Only 15 minutes walk from the centre although there are tram stops nearby. Communications from the owner are precise and timely. There is parking available but if you have a larger car it is difficult to get in. Instructions on parking elsewhere are also provided if required. Occasionally the lift was problematic.
- Klaartje (8/5): -
- Mike (10/5): Great base to explore Ghent - Very comfortable and lovely view with a great location on the main tram line so quick and easy for us to get around Nothing
- Girl friday (10/5): A relaxing and comfortable apartment. - The location was quiet and had a good outlook from the living room. It was a modest walk into the center of Ghent but the apartment was also close to a tram stop if you wanted to cave time.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped.
Parking might be an issue, there is limited parking nearby but there is some free parking near the watersport lake and if you park there I recommend taking a short cut through the car park of the large supermarket there. That is about 10 minutes walk from the apartment. It is an excellent supermarket as well. The stairs are very narrow and spiral. It is possible to walk up and down them but they are not easy and I would not recommend for luggage or children. There is a lift but it is tiny, barely room for a baby buggy. It wasn't a problem for us, but it might present problems, so be aware.
- Eric (10/5): -
- Benoît (10/5): Un logement exceptionnel dans une ville magnifique. - Accueil en autonomie, logement très propre et très bien équipé. Top du top ! Néant.
- Jane (10/5): A very comfortable stay in a beautiful riverside apartment a short distance from the lovely , historic city of Ghent . - The apartment is extremely spacious in all respects for 4 people and has stunning views over the river from the lounge . Big well equipped kitchen and the beds were very comfortable . We had everything we needed . Caroline kept in touch and check in was very easy with a drop box key . I received the code in good time . She had also provided us with some information which was helpful .
The location is very good with a bakery and supermarket and the area is nice, quiet and safe . There is a tram but it only took us 15-20 minutes to walk into the centre . Restaurants on the way . No complaints
- belladonne (9/5): Très jolie vue sur canal - grand appartement au calme - L'emplacement, très facile à pied (peut-être moins en voiture). Le grand espace et l'appartement très fonctionnel. La propreté impeccable ! La réactivité de l'hôte par message. Nous avons eu du mal à y accéder en voiture, mais peut-être était-ce à cause des travaux.
- Lieze (9/5): Top verblijf! - Alles wat we nodig hadden voor een top weekend met vriendinnen!
- Carolien (10/5): Prima verblijf en we hebben alles gewandeld richting centrum. - Was een mooi schoon appartement en gezellig ingericht. Alles was echt heel proper! Niets
- Patrick (8/5): prima -
- Angela (9/5): - Einfaches Check-In, moderne Ausstattung, reichhaltige Ausstattung Küche, tolle Lage, Sauberkeit Matratze ein bisschen weich, ansonsten TOP
- Annelies (10/5): -
- Bianca (10/5): Zeer aangenaam verblijf - Zeer ruim, zeer schoon appartement op perfecte lokatie. Check-in via sleutelkluis perfect geregeld. Niets
- Marijke (9/5): -
- Essi77 (9/5): - Sehr schöne,geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung, gute Lage zum Bahnhof/ Zentrum,fußläufig möglich.
- Geoffrey (8/5): Great apartment - terrible check-in - The apartment is recently renovated and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The apartment is large and prices plenty of space for 4 x adults The check in process was a bit annoying - self check and standing at the entrance to the building waiting for host to get back to us with codes to get into the building. Once inside I was stuck in the lift and could not stop at level 3. Had to walk all luggage up to flights of spiral staircase. The process of getting in should have been simple starting with providing key codes a few hours before check in. Asked if we could have the key codes earlier in the day and told we had to wait until the room was cleaned- owner was overseas ! Car park is not suitable for most cars so we had to park in Watersportbaan and walk 1.5kns with suitcases. If they can get check-in fixed the modern and well equipped apartment would be a real winner
- Estefany (10/5): - Las instalaciones son preciosas. La comodidad de las camas fue increíble además de que cue ta con muchos insumos de limpieza, cocina, aseo, etc. Tiene buena ubicación, cómo 15 o 20 min caminando al centro y bonita vista a uno de los canales.
- Ulrich (8/5): Eine runde Sache -
- Giel AW (8/5): Clean, spacious and quite - Neutra,l effectively furnished and enough space Bed too soft for a coconut matrass skelet like me
- marie helene (8/5): Précisez la prix définitif de la taxe de séjour. 3,5 € facturés et 3 € annonc÷s -
- Jozien (9/5): Geweldig! - Fijn en mooi ingericht appartement. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Goede bedden. Fijne badkamer. Fijn contact en snelle reactie met eigenaresse. Dicht bij centrum. Zeker aan te bevelen. Niks
- JABILL (10/5): Exceptionnel - Superbe appartement moderne, très bien équipé et très bien situé (à 50 mètres du tram). Très calme, au troisième étage avec ascenseur, avec une belle vue sur un canal.
- Linda (10/5): - Top appartement. Schoon en prima bedden. Ideaal voor een paar dagen Gent.
- Karen (9/5): - Fantastisch appartement, heel mooi en sfeervol ingericht. Alles aanwezig wat we nodig hadden tijdens ons verblijf. Alles ook heel netjes! De kussens waren voor ons persoonlijk iets te dik.
- Alistair (9/5): - Clean, spacious, stylish and well equipped. Great location to explore from.
- Matilde (9/5): Puur genieten - Gemakkelijk inchecken met sleutelkluisje. Eenmaal boven troffen we (2 vriendinnen) een mooi schoon appartement. Allebei een eigen slaapkamer met goede bedden (kussens wel wat hoog/hard) Badkamer met ruime lekkere douche en voorzien van voldoende handdoeken en föhn. Ook de keuken met vaatwasser was van alle gemakken voorzien. Ruime living met grote eettafel. Tv met chromecast dus met eigen inlog de meest bekenden apps te gebruiken (Netflix, Prime etc.) Afstand tor centrum ongeveer 15 min lopen. Aan het appartement eigenlijk niks. Alleen inrit parkeergarage nogal smal.
- Katja (10/5): - Die großzügigen Räume, die bequemen Betten, die stilvolle gemütliche Atmosphäre. Keine Lüftung in der Toilette und im Bad.
- Michael (8/5): - Clean, modern and spacious. Inconsistent lift and the bathroom needs an extractor fan to prevent mould issues in the future.
- Rob (9/5): Fijne uitvalsbasis voor bezoek aan Gent - Mooi verzorgde schone inrichting Alles was ok
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Baker (9/5): A top class city apartment with helpful hosts. - Excellent apartment; we felt immediately at home. It was immaculate, roomy and flooded with light- with everything you needed. We utilised the hosts suggestion for a restaurant. The lift is useful for access to the apartment. We found the apartment location easily and parked outside while we unpacked. Communication with the host was top class.
We thoroughly recommend Ghent by the water and would like to stay again if we return to beautiful Ghent. Parking in the area was tricky. A tourist map of Ghent would help with initial orientation, plus an indication of which tram goes to the main square and where the nearest supermarket is.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bettygnocato (8/5): Great accommodation - The whole accommodation was great. Nice beds, great kitchen and livingroom. Didn't like the garage parking... it was way too small and tight to get in and out of.
- Aj (9/5): Good location and all facilities are fine except the parking which needs to be driven carefully. -
- Claire (9/5): Great holiday apartment in wonderful and quiet location - Gorgeous apartment in great location. Spacious rooms. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable and relaxing dining and lounge room. All in all a great apartment.
We will definitely consider coming back. If possible, a washing machine and microwave would be a great addition, especially with small children. Easy to warm up dishes/bottles and to wash clothes without having to leave the house to look for a laundromat.
Shower drain a little on the slow side
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jon (8/5): Very good -
- Nikolas (10/5): Exceptional - Very tidy apartment with all the necessary appliances. Also, everything was very clean when we have arrived.
- Mary (10/5): Modern, clean and spacious with great view of the canal. - Very clean and spacious. Felt like we had plenty of room to spread out. So clean and bright! Nice Kitchen well equipped. Loved looking out the big front window watching the bike traffic. Even enjoyed the back deck a little Pillows were not great and could have been more coffee. Didn't realize that there was plenty of extra toilet paper hidden away until we bought more. Elevator was a little tricky. Sometimes it wouldn't work but might have been a weight issue.
- Keable (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maksim (8/5): Very good -
- Howard (10/5): A lovely apartment in a great location. - Location excellent. Just a 10 - 15 minute walk to the centre. Very comfortable apartment and spotlessly clean. Also there is an elevator - something which is not mentioned on the booking.com website. Nothing.
- Liberty (9/5): Great place to stay in Ghent - Spacious apartment with everything you would need for a short stay. The big bay windows and the tree line is its best feature. Very relaxing. A supermarket and bakery within 500m. Tram stop right across the building. Also a short walk into the centre. Nice balcony at the back for lounging. Quiet neighbourhood. At the moment the intercom doesn't work. But then that is the building management's responsibility, not the host's!
- Frank (8/5): Modern, all amenities of home, short walk to Ghent centre - Tastefully modernised flat 20 minutes stroll to old town.
Excellent communication with owner.
Access to property and instructions easy and straightforward.
Quality towels and bedding provided.
Oven was clean and lined with baking parchment. However it's fully digital and slightly complicated to use. Eventually worked out the ⁰C setting to cook pizza, and then hoped and prayed it would turn itself off OK. It does!
Parking for a large family car or SUV might be an issue (we were unable to access it because the pavement had been dug up). The allocated basement space has a narrow and steep slope leading to it
Street parking is for residents only, but you can quickly unload outside the door, and have use of an elevator. There's paid parking on the street 2 minutes walk away, or in the city's parking houses at 10 minutes walk. Nothing not to like.
There were, however, some issues beyond the owner's control, which sadly couldn't be sorted out in our timeframe, so compensation was amicably, and swiftly agreed with the owner. This is unlikely to happen again.
- Andrea (9/5): Superb -
- Philip (8/5): pleasant flat but smell made eating there off putting - fantastic location the bathroom smelt terrible..probably the drains
- Harold (8/5): Very good -
- Amanda (10/5): A beautiful apartment in a quiet, convenient location - A beautiful apartment. It was very clean, light and spacious. Quality furniture and comfortable beds. It’s much bigger than photos suggest! The location was perfect. All attractions in walking distance and the local bar, The Walrus, is a lovely, friendly spot for food and drinks. There is also a bakery on the corner as you exit the apartment building, which is great for bread, breakfast and pastries. We are two couples and we had a great time. Would thoroughly recommend this apartment to explore Ghent. Nothing major, but perhaps a mirror in each bedroom would be useful
- Linda (10/5): Exceptional - Ghent by the water is a beautiful, relaxing place to stay for a Holiday. The apartment is super clean and has everything you need for a stay with kids and/or family. About a 17/20 minute walk to the city center.
- Patricia (9/5): Superb - Location was fine, very close to the bus stop to travel to the train terminal and to town.
The flat is large and has lots of light, kitchen very well appointed There was a slight smell of dampness in the bathroom. Not bad enough to be annoying
- Spyridon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Broersen (9/5): Superb -
- Marice (10/5): Fantastic place, great location - We had a very good experience here. The location is perfect, walking distance from the centre but quiet nights. The apartment is clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. The host is excellent, very responsive and helpful. Thoroughly recommended!
