Guest Reviews
- YASSIN (10/5): -
- EKta (9/5): Good location and friendly host - We liked the friendliness of the host, play area for kids and the location. Perhaps a food preference/restriction option for breakfast can be given on the app itself instead of mentioning as a special requests.
- takako (8/5): 静けさを堪能できる宿でした - Giethoolnの端でしたがここが一番きれいでした。ここからcentrumにいってもいいし、この近くで過ごしても大満足です。
朝食時、卵をスタッフさんが自ら焼いてくださいました。パンも上質でした。
駐車場込みだったので、とても助かりました。 屋根裏部屋だったので景色はみえません。その分料金が安価であれば、いうことなしです。
- Laurie (10/5): Envie de revenir - Tout Rien
- Bayar (10/5): - Konum harika Kahvaltı zayıf

- Bayram (10/5): - Çalışan personeller çok ilgili, nazik ve yardımsever insanlar. Otoparkının olmasından, odaların sade ve yeterli oluşundan memnun kaldık. Konumu yürüyüş güzergahı üzerinde, her yere yakın sayılabilecek noktada. -
- İrem (10/5): Harika - Çocuklar için park alanı var sakin sessiz bir mekan. Kanal kenarında karşı tarafında bot kiraladık ve cok güzel gezdik. Merkeze yürüyüş ile on dakika. Ücretsiz araba park yerinin olması harika. Ortak mutfak ve temiz. Sabah kahvaltısı da doyurucuydu. Her şey güzeldi

- Elia (8/5): Immersi nella pace - Posizione ottima, a pochi minuti a piedi dal centro del villaggio di Giethoorn. Silenziosa e immersa nella pace Si potrebbe migliorare la colazione con più varietà.

- Thu-Thao (10/5): Vil komme tilbake - Personal er veldig hjelpsomme, utmerket.
Hage er veldig fin. Litt vanskelig å finne fram beliggenhet, ellers alt i alt supert bra.
- Antonios (10/5): -
- Aleksandra (10/5): - The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The place is peaceful, with a garden and space to relax. I loved the breakfast included and I appreciated having a shared kitchen area. It’s located right at the beginning of Giethoorn so it’s a perfect spot to start your sightseeing.

- Konstantinos (10/5): Amazing place! Value for money! - Amazing place in excellent location with lovely yard, fully equipped with garden furniture and toys. Very polite staff.
- Tushar (10/5): -
- Marina (5/5): Muss kein zweites Mal sein? - Die Lage war angenehm und sehr schön, ruhig. Das Frühstück war katastrophal, die Reinigung war sehr schlecht.

- ayca (10/5): - Burada ikinci kalışımız , cocuklar icin cok eglenceli bir konaklama , tesis calisanlari cok kibar , konum mukemmel
- Khalid (8/5): -
- Aurélie (5/5): Déçue dans l'ensemble, mais cet hébergement a néanmoins des qualités - l'emplacement est exceptionnel !! c'est clairement le point fort de cet établissement. La location de bateau et resto juste en face et fort sympathique. L'hôte également. Les jeux pour enfants dans le jardin sont un plus. je n'ai pas pour habitude mettre des commentaires négatifs mais j'étais déçue de l'infrastructure, pas de l'hôte. Les extérieurs ne sont pas entretenus, ce qui dénote clairement vis à vis du reste du village. Les sanitaires sont sensés être privés, même pas une heure après notre arrivée ils étaient déjà occupés par d'autres voyageurs. Aucune insonorisation, on a passé une nuit excecrable. Les draps étaient propres mais troués et tâchés. Sans compte arraignée, fourmis, et moustiques dans la chambre qu'il a déjà fallu neutraliser. C'est vraiment dommage car cet établissement pourrait être une pépite de part son emplacement calme et super bien situé.
- Vencer (9/5): -
- Philippe (10/5): - Emplacement dans le village...
- Danilo (9/5): - Struttura pulita, la proprietaria gentile e accogliente.
- A (7/5): The black sheep🐑 - Hele mooie locatie. Prachtige omgeving. Slaap kussens is echt slap.
Lakens moeilijk binnen naar buiten krijgen ivm statisch.
Muesli/granola 2 soorten aanwezig. Beide zijn met de rozijnen
Zou wel fijn zijn 1 soort zonder rozijnen aanwezig
Geen hagelslag aanwezig.
- Luca (8/5): -
- Tetiana (10/5): - location clean warm everything
- Fanouillere (8/5): - L'emplacement était super. Je n'ai pas fait attention lors de ma réservation mais à notre âge on aime que la salle de bain et les toilettes soient dans la chambre.
- AUDREY (7/5): Très chouette emplacement et personnel. - L'emplacement, le fait qu'il y ait un parking.
Le personnel était très agréable et le petit déjeuner était très bon Le manque d'isolation phonique.
Il faisait chaud dans le dortoir bien qu'en avril

L'endroit, idéalement placé... à proximité du centre touristique mais plus cool et calme.
La salle de séjour est grande et agréable.
Les lits confortables.
La propreté !!!
Le petit déjeuner était très bon.
Nous y retournerons... Rien en particulier. Nous y avons passé une nuit.
- Shu Hwa (10/5): - Hospitable host and hostess,spacious backyard,about 1.5km from center while obtaining a quieter atmosphere. Simple but great breakfast with serving customized egg cooking and warm bread.
- Laia (8/5): -
- Serrao (8/5): Posto fantasmagorico - Posizione e pulizia Poca presenza della proprietà
- Roberto (9/5): -
- AMARNATH (9/5): Great location and value for the price. - The location of the hostel is great. Hostel has a very nice garden where children enjoy playing, can have wonderful dinner with family. Just across the bridge you have boat rentals . Breakfast served was simple but fantastic. The host was very friendly and helps with all required info. We had not faced any issues with the location or cleanliness or comfort, everything went well here.
- Erea (9/5): - La ubicación y desayuno
- Noelia (7/5): No está mal - La ubicación y las partes exteriores de la casa, con niños esta muy bien Está todo un poco descuidado.
Las instalaciones del dormitorio y el baño estaban limpios, pero la cocina estaba bastante sucia.
El baño no tiene para regular el agua y para mi era fresquita.
Tampoco puedes regular el calor de la habitación
Las toallas huelen regular y a Humedad
- Leau (10/5): -
- Guilherme (10/5): Adorável e muito acolhedor. - O Hostel é adorável! O casal que administra é muito gentil e prestativo, deixam os hóspedes á vontade. Eu fiquei 3 noites e adorei! O café da manhã é simples, porém atende bem. As camas são boas, colchão bom e roupas de cama de qualidade. Eu adorei a localização, é possível fazer de um ponto a outro da vila, pois o Hostel está na ponta Sul. Chuveiro, não tem como regular a temperatura, é um botão Touch.

- Jessica (9/5): - The location was great. Very charming location with canals, hammocks in the garden, etc.
- Temour (10/5): -
- Marie (10/5): Formidable - Accueil arrangeant car nous sommes arrivées après les heures de check-in et le personnel nous a extrêmement bien accueilli ! Toutes les accommodations sont au rendez-vous, les dortoirs pour 8 sont suffisants, la literie confortable et très propre (je fais des allergies aux acariens et je peux témoigner que c'est nickel, je n'ai eu aucun soucis). Les douches sont dans des espaces partagés mais assignées au numéro du dortoir, ce qui fait que ce ne sont que les gens dans le dortoir avec vous qui utilisent le même équipement que vous; ça limite les états vite sales des douches partagées. Là pour le coup, les sanitaires et douches étaient très propres. Les extérieurs sont très agréables et paisibles et le petit-déjeuner copieux, en accès libre avec l'hôte disponible, souriante et pleine de bonnes conseils ! Encore merci pour ce séjour, c'était formidable !
- Barnard (9/5): We loved the Black Sheep - Good breakfast. Microwave could have been wiped out.

- Baillez (8/5): Agréable - L'emplacement. Le concept est sympa, les gens sont super gentils et accueillants. Pour les enfants c'est chouettes. Des petits jeux pour eux partout. Le petit dej dans une bonne ambiance et agreable C'est vraiment trop cher pour une chambre type auberge de jeunesse. J'ai payé la veille la même somme pour un hôtel près d'Amsterdam avec grand petit déjeuner buffet.
- Annika (9/5): - Very friendly owner who is running the place with a great enthusiasm. Beautiful surroundings. The kitchen is the only common room and can easily get a bit crowded. Same with the showers and toilets for the bunk rooms.
- Yi Chieh (10/5): - 位子,房東很優
- JOSEPH KIAN KOK (8/5): Short and simple stay - The common area at the hostel is cozy and quiet when the hostel is not busy. Coffee and tea are available (DIY). The rooms are clean and the bed comfortable.
The owners were friendly, we were made fried eggs at breakfast. The toilets were private but they are at a shared area. The room we had was located on the 2nd floor and my Dad had to climb the narrow stairs.
There is no signage or cannot be seen clearly from the main road to show the turn into a small lane to the Black Sheep Hostel.

宿泊代に朝食が含まれていました。
ホテルや、庭の雰囲気が最高でした!
- zhuxian (8/5): - friendly staff and good at Chinese
good breakfast toilet is tight
public room smaller than i thought
- 培恩 (9/5): - The staff is really nice, and also provide the information of the village, telling you where to visit and what to eat. And the breakfast is good, too! They also provide fridge and kitchen, so you can also cook by yourself if the dinner here is too expensive for you. And the common space is a heart-warming area, they have a blackboard where you can draw anything or sign. The shower is earth-friendly, which mean you have to click on the button many time to have the water to take a shower. It's not a really big deal, but just to let you know!
- Melanie (8/5): Sehr schön! - Die Lage ist sehr schön und gut gelegen um Giethoorn zu erkunden. Schöner Ausblick aus dem Fenster, sehr ruhig. -
- То (8/5): - Все було добре. Розташування просто чудове, двір також. Є парковка на території. Було чисто та досить комфортно за невеликі гроші. Не дуже комфортно було на двоярусних ліжках.
- Roy (7/5): - Location is good.
- TORU (10/5): -
- Minjian (10/5): -
- Andre (8/5): Geweldig, gezellig...en vooral hele aardige eigenaren...toppers! - Personeel zeer vriendelijk, ontbijt was goed (het is een b&b) geen 5 sterren hotel.
Wifi is daar heel héél snel.
Heb daar 1 nacht mogen verblijven, en dat is goed.
Ik zou er zeker nog een keer naar terug gaan. Weet je lezers, ik had gewoon dikke pech, dat daar toevallig een gast verbleef die graag een borrel lustte, en die zich nergens iets van aantrok.
Een beetje van...Ik ben hier de baas, en doe wat ik wil.
De eigenaren hebben dit goed opgelost, door deze gast de deur te wijzen...want dit was echt onacceptabel.
