Guest Reviews
- Xiá Wendi (10/5): - the ambiance, design, rooms, decorations
- daniel (10/5): -
- Marc (10/5): Lovely, heartwarming stay with family like living in the most beautiful neighborhood you can imagine. - Guido and Ann magically mashed to make us feel like being a part of the family. We had great conversations, meaningful interactions and felt understood the whole time. Breakfasts was individually made and super tasty. Beds were extra comfortable and large. Everything was clean and felt high-quality! To charge you EV-car, you need to have a charging card. This wasn’t of any problem for us, though Superchargers were just around the corner :)
- Jénin (10/5): -
- blandine (10/5): Très bon accueil des propriétaires, superbe cadre, petit déjeuner personnalisé et très frais ! - Accueil très chaleureux, chambre et salle de bain spacieuse, très propre, bonne literie. Le petit déjeuner est composé de produits frais, "sur mesure", très varié et proposé dans une très belle salle, avec vue sur le jardin, grand calme. Rien !
- Cornelis Maria (10/5): Veel te kort, maar dat is een goed teken! - De mooie accommodatie (zowel de grote keuken als de kamer) Niets

Pool im großen Garten incl. Nix.

- Virginie (10/5): Een echte aanrader - Super vriendelijke mensen!
Kamer heeft alles wat je nodig hebt.
Het ontbijt was heel uitgebreid en lekker.
Ik kom zeker nog terug.

- Yvan (10/5): Une parenthèse enchanteresse à proximité du Festival de Werchter - Un B&B comme nous aimons ! L' accueil de nos hôtes, le petit-déjeuner délicieux, la chambre avec une belle literie, le jardin, la piscine, le calme, tout est parfait et reposant. Merci Ann et Guido.
- Marta (10/5): Exceptional - I had a wonderful stay! The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for relaxing. It was also very easy to get to the city center by bike, which was a big plus. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious – fresh, tasty, and a great way to start the day. Highly recommended!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing - What a lovely experience. Highly recommended
- Muriel (10/5): We booked for one night and extended to three because we liked it so much. - Lovely location overlooking the canal. We were met by Anne who was very friendly and helpful. The room was fantastic with a beautiful view over a tremendous garden. Breakfast was delicious.
- ChrisInGilbert (10/5): Super relaxing! - We stay here every year. The owners make us feel like family. We enjoy ending our visit to family in Belgium at this B&B. Rooms are very comfortable, breakfast is very nice and service is super friendly. We go for relaxing walks along the canal that runs in front of their property.
- Asanga (10/5): - outstanding property, with very friendly and helpful owners. They were so very warm and welcoming. The property has been updated and furnishings looks very new. The care given by owner for everything including serving a super breakfast.
- Gertjan (10/5): Uitstekend - Zeer fijn ontvangst met vriendelijke gastvrouw. Ze deed echt haar best om ons een fijn verblijf te geven. Zalige kamer met prachtig uitzicht en lekker in bad geweest. Heerlijk ontbijt wat aan al onze wensen heeft voldaan. Een oase van rust in een druk gebied. We hebben ook zeer goed geslapen.
- Laurence (10/5): Perfect - Perfect place
Such nice people Nothing to say
- Pamela (10/5): Perfect and beautiful in every way. - The hosts Anna and Guido welcomed us like family and accommodated us extremely well. I am vegan and Anna went out of her way to get special vegan breakfast foods bought for me. Guido extended his welcome in an invitation to watch Euro football along with pizza with his friends when Belgium were playing! Property in an amazing location with easy access to public transport without compromising serenity and peace. Lots of beautiful walks and heaven for cyclists. The garden is beautiful and the pool a blessing as we had temperatures of 29 degrees during our stay. We were sad to leave. Everything was perfect.
- Fredrik (10/5): - I travel frequently for work, and got a pleasant surprise staying at Aquarand. The most friendly greeting you can get, and great overall service. The room was big and clean.
I got to customize my breakfast menu the day before, with a lot of choices.
Definitely a better experience than at a "normal" hotel.
- LINK (10/5): Superbe endroit, à découvrir absolument - Juste parfait. L'endroit est magnifique, niché dans la campagne flamande, à quelques encablures de Bruxelles et loin du bruit, entre un canal et un parc privatif superbe. La maison est très accueillante, la décoration sobre et raffinée, la chambre est spacieuse et confortable. Mais tout cela est surpassé par la gentillesse de l'accueil des hôtes, aux petits soins pour leurs convives.
Petit déjeuner varié, copieux et de grande qualité.
Je recommande absolument cet endroit, et j'y reviendrai avec plaisir. Bien mieux qu'un hôtel classique
Rapport qualité/prix imbattable
- Vago (10/5): Wonderful B&B with great hosts - Very good value for money.
Excellent hosts, very nice and attentive.
Breakfast was very good as well.
Overall a great experience, would recommend! N/A
- S4793BOdaniellea (10/5): The impressed Danes ❤️ - Hallo everyone.
I visit this B&B august 2023 with my fiancé. We were spending a few days in Belgium and while searching for a place to stay we found this online and right away we fell in love with it! We booket it and took of!
Unfortunately some times and often to much the photos and reality does not ad up, but this is definitely not one of those times! We place was even better than we saw it online!
This is a family owned B&B with amazing hosts and service! We were meet with big smiles and open arms! We sat down and was briefed in how the place was operated and what was worth visiting in the area - it was wonderful!
Breakfast was fantastic! Everything was fresh and personalised to our taste!
Thank you!
Danielle and Christoffer

- The interior/design in general was very modern and spacious. Again, it couldn't be better.
- The owners were very friendly as well.
Highly recommend this place, and if we are in the neighbourhood we'll definitely stop by again. There are no cons, and we are very critical.
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anton (10/5): dreaming to stay here again - everything was absolutely perfect.
- Juan (9/5): Superb - Guido is a very nice person. It is clear that he wants to give an overall very good service. Personal service. I normally don't write reviews but he deserves it. The location and sorroundings are very nice.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I travel alot for business and pleasure. This is one of the nicest Air N B style places I have stayed in. Very professional yet has all of the personal touches to make your stay very comfortable.
- V7973CQannad (10/5): Thank you for an amazing stay - - Amazing and plentiful breakfast

Many thanks to the hosts!
- EduardUtrecht (10/5): Great - Wonderful mansion with 4 guest rooms. Rooms are spotless spacious and comfortable. The house is beautifully maintained and perfectly located. Near Mechelen, but also a nice little forest within walking distance, natural swimming water nearby. Hosts are very welcoming and friendly.
Breakfast is abundant with fresh bread, fresh eggs, fresh juice and fresh coffee.
Details: as you are staying with family, a dog that forms part of this family might be around. Also as all guest rooms are in the same section you might hear noises (doors, stairs, voices in the hallway)
This is definitely a place we will return to to stay a few more nights.
- b0wiewhist (10/5): Wonderfully clean, warm welcome and great breakfast - One night only but warm, comfy and well positioned. Wi-fi, garden, comfy beds and good shower. Breakfast included cooked eggs and bacon and fresh fruit. Good views of the canal. English spoken well. Nice dog.
- The_Macs84 (10/5): Excellent - I stayed here for 3 nights after struggling to find accommodation anywhere else in Belgium during the exhibition in Brussels. However I'm glad I found this place. The hosts Guido and Ann are excellent and make you feel right at home. The rooms are modern and very clean. They have a Golden Retriever called Ottis who also likes to great you. I'll hopefully be staying here again in the future.
- berawA69 (10/5): Amazing bed and breakfast! - Perfect location nearby the highway in a green zone,between Brussels and Antwerp. Spacious modern bedroom , with plasma tv,and good wifi. Good quality of mattress and linnen.Realy nice owners who are giving u a personalized breakfast, organic eggs any style, fresh bakery, good coffee and last but not least a fresh orange juice !
I so much enjoyed this stay and look forward to go back with my family!
- Rosemary163 (10/5): Excellent B&B - My initial reservations about Aquarand's accessibility were dis-spelled when I was collected from and dropped off at the nearest train station. My room (Linde) was perfect for a business trip. I had everything that I needed. The breakfast was good and generous. My hosts, Guido and Ann, were delightful. They went the extra mile and clearly know the meaning of good service. I would definitely go back.
- girlfromperth (10/5): Simply superb - Our hosts made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived, Lots of love has resulted in Aquarand being a beautifully renovated home that is now a B&B.set in tranquil gardens. Our room was spacious and bright with comfortable modern furnishing and a large bathroom, The other 3 rooms are similarly presented. My husband found the 15 minute drive from the airport relatively straight forward. The bed was super comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of freshly brewed coffee. Our hosts Guido and Ann made us feel right at home. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to visit again
- EddyVyncke (10/5): A fantastic experience - This is one of the best places I have been in Belgium. This marvelous lodge disposes of an excellent and central location and is an oasis in a green environment. The entire interior is beautiful and decorated with a good taste. The room is very spacious and the breakfast is delicious. Here you fell immediately at home and the owners are very friendly . I warmly recommend this marvelous place . It is a pitty that there are no free rooms for my next visit to Belgium
