Guest Reviews
- Nicolaas A. B. (7/5): Een comfortabel verblijf op een mooie locatie. - De woning c.q. wellness ligt aan de rand van Oud-Turnhout en is van een hoge standaard. De kamer is modern en ruim. Het zit doordacht in elkaar. Niets
- Nicolette (10/5): - We kregen een hartelijke ontvangst. Heerlijk ontbeten met een perfect gekookt eitje.
- Dave (10/5): -
- Menno (9/5): Het warme onthaal van Inge en Marc maakte het helemaal af. Hartelijk dank voor de gastvrijheid — zek - Wat een fijn verblijf! De kamer, het ontbijt en de faciliteiten waren allemaal uitstekend verzorgd. Vooral de boksles die ik mocht volgen was een unieke en geweldige ervaring.
- Klosianos (10/5): Je voelt je thuis - Gastvrijheid van Inge Alles was perfect - no comment
- Patrick (10/5): - everything was very good. high standart.
- Stoia Vasile (10/5): -
- Wim (9/5): Heerlijk relax weekend gehad - Hartelijke ontvangst door de hosts, kamer was zoals aangegeven. Ontbijt prima geregeld, leuke gesprekken met de host gehad.
- Erwin (10/5): One night that turned into two - true wellness, mindfulness and Ikigai living - Title: One night that turned into two - true wellness, mindfulness and Ikigai living
I initially booked one night at Ikigai B&B (Turnhout area / Oud‑Turnhout), but I felt so peaceful so quickly that I booked an extra night immediately. This place doesn’t just offer comfort: it offers a complete reset.
Everything here invites you into a slower rhythm: the calm of the home, the gentle energy, and the sense that your wellbeing actually matters. The wellness experience must feel intentional and soothing, with facilities such as a Finnish sauna, hot tub, infrared and indoor/outdoor relaxation areas, set in a carefully created garden atmosphere, and a heated outdoor pool in season. Unfortunatly, I didn't make use of the welness facilities. But I will next time!
What elevates Ikigai into something truly special is the human experience. Marc and Inge bring heaps of life experience and wisdom, and the conversations I had with them were surprisingly profound grounded, inspiring and mindful. Their personal story and the meaning behind Ikigai adds a deeper layer: you don’t just “stay,” you feel yourself returning to balance.
Location-wise, it’s also ideal if you want nature to support your reset, with the Liereman nature area nearby and walking/cycling routes right outside. Marc and Inge are more than happy to share them with you.
In short: if you’re looking for a luxury wellness B&B near Turnhout with authentic mindfulness and heartfelt hosting, Ikigai delivers. And then some. Again, can't find anything negative!
- Peter (10/5): Relax en geniet - Verzorgde B&B in een rustige omgeving, ideaal om tot rust te komen. Heel vriendelijke ontvangst. Kamer en badkamer waren zeer comfortabel. Het ontbijt was in een huiselijke sfeer en zeer lekker. Een aanrader!
- Erwin (10/5): Exceptional – A true retreat for me - Exceptional – A true retreat for me.
My one‑night stay at B&B Ikigai in Turnhout was exactly what I needed. From the very first moment, I felt myself slowing down and letting go. This is not just a place to sleep, but a space designed for rest, soul searching, balance and wellbeing.
Marc and Inge have created a beautiful, homely atmosphere grounded in the philosophy of Ikigai, finding meaning, calm and purpose in daily life. Their personal story is inspiring and provides depth to the entire experience. You don’t just stay here; you feel it. And the good breakfast helps too ;-)
The hosts do everything possible to make guests feel supported and cared for, without it ever feeling forced. Everything is done with heart and attention. I left feeling mentally refreshed, deeply relaxed and grateful for the experience.
Ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful wellness B&B near Turnhout where true hospitality and inner calm come together. Can't find anything that I would consider negative about Ikigai B&B.
- Jack (9/5): - Prima ontbijt Nvt
- Koert (10/5): leuk verblijf in Ikigai - verse broodjes en fruitsap bij het ontbijt, donkere en stille kamer de kopkussen vond ik niet goed voor mij persoonlijk
- Van Bunnik (9/5): - prettige ontvangst, zeer comfortabele kamer en heel netjes. Hele vriendelijke en gastvrije eigenaren!
- Nico (10/5): Zugast bei Freunden - Wasser und Kaffee direkt im Zimmer. Ein super bequemes Bett. Allgemein fühlt sich der ganze Aufenthalt an als wäre man bei Freunden zu Gast. Eine der besten Geschäftsreisen die ich hatte.
- Ralf (9/5): -
- Khadija (9/5): Ikigai, of de kunst om goed voor jezelf te zorgen. - Charmante, mooi ingericht huis dat rust en zen uitstraalt. Hartelijk ontvangst door Marc. Deze locatie biedt een wellnessruimte en een mooie tuin met zwembad. Parkeergelegenheid beschikbaar. Rustige straat. Geen negatief punt aan te merken.
- Jessie (9/5): Hier word je 100 jaar. - Het onthaal was heel hartelijk. De uitbaters stralen passie voor het vak uit.
Geen vraag was teveel.
De woning en het verblijf is kraaknet.
In de verduisterde kamer met lekker bed slaap je als een engel.
De omgeving is super voor mensen die houden van de natuur, bossen, wandelen, fietsen, joggen...
We hebben zelf geen gebruik gemaakt van de welnessfaciliteiten maar als je hier vandaan komt, moet je helemaal zen zijn. Al heeft het helemaal geen hinder opgeleverd, is voor mij een gedeelde badkamer een minpuntje.
- Naomi (10/5): -
- ELSIE (10/5): Voor herhaling vatbaar. - Het ontbijt was uitstekend.
De eigenaars waren super vriendelijk we voelden ons direct thuis.
Een oase van rust.
Zeker een aanrader. Voor ons was alles top niets op aan te merken.
- Gilles (9/5): Super confortável e agradável. - Simples, porém, muito bom! A atenção dos proprietários é fantástica! Localização.
- Marlèneke (9/5): -
- Jan Willem (9/5): -
- Marta (10/5): - Przemili gospodarze, piękna okolica, super śniadanie. Brak łazienki w pokoju - to info też jest na stronie.
- bruno (9/5): -
- Silvia (8/5): Hele vriendelijke gastvrouw en gastheer. - De ligging van het B & B ligt vlakbij Turnhout.
Er was voldoende plek voor onze fietsen. Wij misten een kastje om kleding in te leggen.
- G (9/5): -
- Debyser (4/5): we zijn amper enkele uren op de kamer gebleven.. ook te koud badkamer en kamer verwarming is optie - we hebben geen ontbijt kunnen nemen, kort na 1h snachts moeten vertrekken huiswaarts gekraakt van de pijn, van slechte topper of boxspring het bed.. was duidelijk niet bruikbaar voor mij... boxspring waar enkel een topper van 5cm op ligt, ik ben rugpatient en dat is dus zeker niet voor mij weg gelegd, wel dure grap eerlijk gezegd 137 euro voor paar uur op bed te liggen.. midden de nacht kan je moeilijk de eigenaars wakker maken en vragen voor andere kamer of bed of matras
- Erna (9/5): -
- Floris (10/5): Heerlijk weekend weg! Vriendelijke mensen -
- Nansubuga (10/5): The people are very kind and took care of us - Very quite place Nothing everything was perfect
- Tack (10/5): -
- Azmut (10/5): Amazing place lovely people huge rooms - Everything especially the hosts lovely people. Room was huge, bed very comfortable. Amazing place!! Would recommend Nothing
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Kathleen (10/5): A spot of paradise - Lovey facility— the room was thoughtfully appointed, beautiful art throughout the whole house. Comfortable, clean, stunning.
Short walk to the village, perfect location for my cycle tour. No issues
- Joshua (8/5): Very good -
- Sabri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ilse (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mehmet (8/5): Very good -
- Ilona (9/5): Superb -
- Marija (9/5): Had a lovely stay! Would definitely come again. Big thanks to the lovely hosts for making it so comfortable 💕 - Super nice people, clean, well located, a lot of privacy even though it’s shared. The pool is warm and lovely Didn’t realize spa would be 130 EUR extra… opted out due to this
- Dorian (9/5): Superb -
- Bill (10/5): A relaxing location, with very helpful hosts. - Marc and Ingre were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. They were very helpful. They have a wealth of information about the area and things to do. Nothing really. This property ticked the boxes, especially so close to the place we were visiting. It was a little tricky to locate, but this was easily overcome.
- Angelo (10/5): Exceptional - The bungalow is very clean and comfortable, Mark and his wife are very kind and thougtful. All OK
- Dudek (10/5): Excellent stay , 5 stars, thank you - great place, clean,very friendly and nice hosts, we will happily go back there again, kids love garden and swimming pool, thank you
- Damien (4/5): Sauna, 120 euro extra cost... - Nice host, very clean place. We thought we could appreciate the spa (sauna), that is announced as the equipment in the presentation, but it would cost an extra 120 euro to access the sauna. That is unfortunate as we selected this one for the spa.
- Tony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (9/5): A great place to stay with easy access to Turnhout. - Great location for our trip. Inge en Marc were very helpful. Nothing.
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Ewelina (9/5): Perfect for a short stay. - I was very nicely welcomed by the owners. The facility met my expectations. Perfect for a short stay. You can rest and relax. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Delicious breakfast.
- Wissem (7/5): Good - The owner is very friendly professionalism .exceptional service definitely will come back again
- Ron (7/5): Good -
- Rudi (9/5): Superb -
- Irmgard (9/5): Unexpected paradise in Oud-Turnhout - Inge and Marc share their paradise house with their guests with much passion. Our room was located on the ground floor, and we enjoyed our own bathroom and separate toilet.
The perks of the house are obviously the pool, but especially Inge and Marc’s hospitality. They tend to their guests with great care and this shows for example in the lovely breakfast, which we were able to enjoy next to the pool on the terrace.
For us the location was perfect: we were only a 6 minute bike ride away from our friends’ house. Also Turnhout is very accessibly from their place, only a short drive away.
- Frederick (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly hosts who take a lot of pride in their Bed & Breakfast. A real joy to stay with them ! I would recommend this place to everybody.
- Umut (2/5): Very poor - The personal space is so limited and the information which is given fallacious.
- Tom (1/5): BIG NO - Nothing This is a rip-off. When I looked for a hotel in the city I was travelling through on Booking.com, I received a list of the local hotels. I clicked and booked; I was charged 115 Euros. Then I entered the hotel info into my navigation system and ?????? The hotel was located 80 km away, and I would have to drive 80 Km going the opposite direction.
I asked about the refund of the payment. I never received any reply.
- Joep (10/5): Great stay in the blue zone - Marc and Inge are very nice and did go the extra mile to make the stay very pleasant. The pool is amazing!
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Jordi (9/5): Superb -
- Dragos (10/5): Very clean , highly recommended you can’t get better for this money. - very clean
- Ivaylo (10/5): Perfect. - Amazing house! The hosts are very friendly and easy going. Everything was perfect! It's also bike friendly, they can keep your bikes safe in a garage.
