We absolutely loved our stay at Basecamp Amsterdam. It completely exceeded our expectations. The Wikkelhouse House is gorgeous and was much more spacious than we had expected. Our children had bunk beds which were in their own little room. They loved it! It was quiet, cosy and incredibly comfortable and had everything you needed to be self sufficient (should you wish to be, there is also an amazing bio farm shop next door!) - Basecamp does have a bar which serves food and we had delicious pizzas one night. We also had a hot tub which was a real treat! We made use of the sauna (stunning) and the club house (bar and games room) and we also hired bikes. The staff were excellent, really friendly, helpful and very responsive. We really loved being in an urban location surrounded by open space and so much wildlife and nature. We had the most relaxing time here. We made the most of slow relaxing mornings at Basecamp and chose to visit Amsterdam Old town each afternoon which for us provided the perfect balance. To get to Amsterdam centre we used the train (a 5 min drive to Halfweg - with free parking, and then a 10 min journey to Centraal) and on one day we cycled. I would highly recommend Basecamp Amsterdam. We loved it so much! Thank you Basecamp!

Nothing at all.

The location is little far from the main city. But it has good connectivity. Bus stop is a 10 min walk and train station is 8 min drive with free parking. The room was very good. Bed was comfortable.A small kitchenette is provided. You can make full meals. Everything is provided. The staff were pretty great in general! The only negative I have for this property is : one of the curtains were off the rack and it was just beside the bathroom. Even though we notified and requested them to look into it at the reception, nobody took action and we had to stay in the room for 3 nights.

+ roomy rooms with a kitchennette, sitting area and the rooftop + the bed was super comfy to sleep on + the whole complex

- the build quality - uneven shower area, water doesn’t flow - simple breakfast - location is not good if you like to visit town (25 mins walking to the nearest bus stop, 30-35 mins bike ride to the city) - reception closes at 21:00

Wonderful location for a getaway from Amsterdam. Comfortable large room with a nice view and a cute balcony. The bed is extremely comfortable

We have booked the spa barn and were not told in advance that the sauna in the barn was broken and we had to walk to the non-private sauna they have outside. I asked if it would be private still and they said yes but when we still had 30minutes of “our time” there I saw people going to the sauna. I’m not the kind of person to tell people to leave, so I just rolled with it, but I do not think that it’s okay to charge us full price of the spa when it’s not longer private and also not telling us in advance about the sauna being broken. I was really looking to a private experience. Also, all the cups and glasses in the room were really dusty.

Beautiful area, we had a lot of fun exploring nearby on bikes, including the neighboring farms. There’s a nice park if you have kids and the main village also has a small playground for kids. It is not too far from Amsterdam, which you can reach by renting a bike directly from them. Welcome drink was a nice touch.

We got a unit with a hot tub, which was not warm enough and also slimy. We gave feedback to reception. Some fixtures in our unit were broken, like the toilet flusher and the shower door. Also, you are right on the flight path, so it takes away from some peacefulness, but overall, when you consider that you are near a major city and not on a country getaway, it’s not that bad.

The place had a cool, quirky vibe that we really enjoyed, and our teen kids loved it. The hot tub was a great bonus, and all the facilities were spotless. It was nice to be a little removed from the chaos of Amsterdam — peaceful and relaxing — but still super quick and easy to get into the city centre. I was a little wary about the comments mentioning planes flying overhead, but my husband, who’s an aerospace enthusiast, was absolutely delighted! We didn’t hear any during the night, so they may stop after a certain time — it didn’t affect our sleep at all. We’d definitely recommend staying here and would happily visit again.

Love so many things about this place - the location in natural surrounding not too far from the city, the friendly team of staff, breakfast is satisfying and good value for money. The chalet itself (The Barn) is quite spacious with a living room with fireplace downstair and the veranda where we can sit outside to enjoy the cool air. The 2 bedrooms can accommodate 4 people alright - with the main bedroom being adequate size but the second bedroom is just too tight.

The second bedroom being somewhat too tight and lack proper window (only one on the roof for air circulation). The bathroom is quite small and the stairway is steep and one has to be very careful when ascending or descending it - especially so when we have my elderly mother who have just recovered from toe surgery.

The place was perfect as it was in nature. The pod we stayed was warm and comfortable done out to a good standard with nearly everything you could want although a couple of blankets to sit outside would be a great idea but probably they would have provided us with them if we'd asked also a tea towel. They did keep sending messages saying just ask for help with anything if you needed it. I had to get to grips with the hot tap to make tea but they did say they could provide a kettle. Also I wanted to buy eggs for breakfast but couldn't boil them , they said to use the quooker ( boiling tap) to do it buy I was abit unsure however, again I think you can ask them to bring you some kind of cooking facilities but not sure if you have to pay extra for it but the joy is you just got to ask them and they are willing to help.

Very nice location even if not so close to the city you can reach it with Uber or Taxi that are often in the area around so you don't need to wait a lot. The cabins are super nice, comfortable and reach in furnishing. The people are super kind and available. It's been above my expectation!

The only drawback is that - and this didn't make it less comfortable or less a pleasure, but just my consideration - when is warm the temperature rises rapidly inside, there's air conditioned anyway, so not a problem for comfort, but that makes it a bit weird considering the eco-friendly and green environment, having to turn ac on with less just 20 C degrees outside. Maybe this is the upside for cold temperatures, but from May it makes them energy intensive.

Comfy beds, great location especially for kids, free parking on premises.

We thought that some (minor) things could be further improved. Regarding cleanliness, the pans in the kitchen were not clean, same goes for certain parts in the bathroom (in the shower). No housekeeping was offered, even though we stayed for 4 nights. Lastly, other travelers should probably be aware that the accommodation does not have blackout curtains/ blinds. Luckily we visited in February and the sun rose after 8 am, but in the summer, when the sun rises at 5.15, I can imagine this would have been an issue for us.
