- Susanna (8/5): - Clean
- Alyson (7/5): To be improved - Nice view on the lake with park around the hotel. Very small room and very noisy
We could not sleep much during the night due to a concert just next to the hotel that was going on till 7 am...
- Delcour (9/5): - La sympathie du personnel. De ne pas avoir pris lenpetut déjeuner plus tôt mais nous ne l avons pas demandé.

- De Herdt (8/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): - Super endroit et personnel adorable
On se sent super bien à lézarder sur la terrasse, le restaurant est très joli et on y mange bien. Le déjeuner optionnel est un peu tardif … à partir de 10:00. Pour ceux qui poursuivent leur route, c’est un peu dommage

- Hanquet (10/5): De MAX! - De locatie was super! Op wandelafstand vd winkels en de zee. Heel gezellig zitten ah meer en het ontbijt was ook zeer verzorgd en lekker… We waren heel tevreden over de hostel, qua comfort kunnen de matrassen (hard) en de hoofdkussens (aan vervanging toe) beter…
- Maurits (9/5): goed ! -
- florence (8/5): - Un cadre idyllique. Une très belle déco. Le personnel est très sympathique. Pas de personnel sur place la nuit en cas de problème. L insonorisation des chambres.
- Anne (7/5): - Le site, l'architecture du bâtiment, l'environnement, la décoration, la propreté. La qualité du couchage, le nombre très restreint de toilettes pour 80 personnes.
Dommage aussi que le petit déjeuner ne soit pas proposé comme à l'auberge de jeunesse de Bruges.
Boissons très très chères dans le bar du complexe touristique.
- Florence (8/5): -
- Yana (8/5): -
- emilie (4/5): Beau cadre mais y dormir est compliqué selon les voisins - L extérieur et l emplacement à proximité du centre et de la plage. La possibilité de boire un verre, manger ou petit déjeuner dans un bel extérieur est un vrai plus Mur en papier où tu entends une mouche voler dans la chambre d à côté. Pas de possibilité d aérer la chambre
Sanitaires pas très propre.
Et malheureusement nous avons eu la malchance d avoir des voisins de couloirs qui ont fait la numba en fumant et buvant dans le couloir toute la nuit
- rodog31 (7/5): Correct pour une auberge de jeunesse - Le site est très agréable, les chambres sont propres, les sanitaires également. L'endroit est calme, [il y a une] discothèque juste à côté. Parking à disposition, prix très compétitif. La localisation est à 30 m à pied du centre-ville. Le petit déjeuner est ridicule : très peu de produits et très chers. Nous avons dû manger à l'extérieur. Les boissons au bar sont chères pour une auberge de jeunesse.
- John (9/5): Great hostel - Friendly welcome, good complex and nice rooms, well decorated and very clean. Excellent restaurant. Hadn't realised the hostel doesn't provide towels.
- Miguel (10/5): Exceptional - The best wake park in the world! Super friendly staff, nice accommodations. I highly recommend 👍
- Sediki (6/5): Pleasant - Good location Small rooms
- Gillian (2/5): Very poor - Right by the lake with activities. But, you may not swim in the lake. Quite close to supermarket. Room had limited ventilation so became excessively hot.
Beds very hard.
Showers warm enough but only mediocre. No fridge facilities.
- Jessica (6/5): You get what you pay for. For the price, it works as a decent base for a night. - The location was great for what we needed, but it was very busy in the local area. If you need a base for the night it is alright, you get what you pay for really. The car park was difficult to find a space on and was very expensive. The room was very hot and very basic. Planned fireworks at night might have been best to warn people about. There was no space in the restaurant, but no option offered beforehand to book, so book separately if you want to reserve a space!
- Isabel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fruzsina (9/5): Very nice stay for the price. - Beautiful location, ideal with children. The noise of the other rooms' doors closing.
- Zainab (7/5): Good -
- Jonatan (7/5): Good -
- Larissa (8/5): Clean rooms, great location and lovely lakeside restaurant. - This was a hostel in a great location. The bathrooms were clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the views of the lake and the food in the adjacent restaurant. The door to our room was really difficult to open and close. It needs a little work since you can't leave the room or come in late without waking everyone up with a loud door scratching the floor.
- Seyed (10/5): Exceptional - We were happy that it was close to the beach and the price was reasonable The staff were very well behaved
- Clare (9/5): Superb - Nice clean hostel, with restaurant adjacent if you wanted, plus water sports centre on lake there if you fancied a go!
- Van (8/5): Very good -
- Danica (8/5): Very good -
- Andre (7/5): Good -
- Mark (7/5): Nice for the surrounding watersports (lake and pool complexes). Beautiful surroundings. - Very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. The attached water complex with 6 saunas was an unexpected bonus. It felt strange not to be en-suite, and the shared toilets were not as clean in some Youth Hostels. Not to have kitchen facilities, was strange, as they are normally present at youth hostels.
- Benoit (7/5): good value for money - easy a bit noisy at night (young people coming back in)
- Diego (8/5): Very good -
- Maria (7/5): Good - Was quite nousy
- Michaël (9/5): Superb -
- May_june_july (8/5): Reasonable choice - Private lake, pub, cheap, clean Far away from ocean. Checkin was available til 7 pm (idk. maybe it was because weekend..?)
- Derek (5/5): Disappointing - A place to sleep. The mattress was decent. The price. This is a BARE MINIMUM hostel, yet it costs the same as a hotel. You really should provide a fridge to each room. You also need to put in some hooks to hang things. And for goodness sake buy some fitted sheets. There is no place to sit since the beds are packed in like sardines in a can. Good thing I brought some chairs with me. The shower room has hooks, but the floor has no drain and so the dripping things got the floor wet and there was no where for the water to go. Why do guest still have to pay for parking? Not cool. The restaurant is overpriced, didn't have available tables, and the food was subpar, especially considering the price. The vibe was pretentious pretending to be California chill. You can't have it both ways. Drunks kept us up all night. Those drunks left their not so empty bottles/cups in the shower room. The staff smoked in the doorway and stank up the whole place.
- Ajay (8/5): Very good -
- William (9/5): Superb - the location is beautiful, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and it was value for money.
- Stirk (8/5): Very good -
- Bilal (7/5): Good -
- Leonor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Arda (8/5): Very good -
- Hector (8/5): nice beds and perfect location for youths - I quite liked the stay well. Of course, you should not expect everything in a hotel because it is a hostel. The beds were great and there was enough room for the number of people present.
And the location is very good. Of course, the fact that you need to take showers that are shared is quite annoying but it is normal because its a youth hostel and not a luxe hotel.
- Anonymous (1/5): tiring - nothing everything
- Sjoerd (7/5): Good -
- Eva (9/5): Superb -
