Brace yourselves, folks, because calling this place a hotel is like calling a rubber duck the captain of a battleship. Picture this: my digs were basically a lakeside clubhouse on stilts. I had all the essentials in my snug standard double room – an air conditioner (because sweating is so last season), a shower that moonlights as a bathtub (two-in-one, the ultimate multitasker), a separate toilet (privacy is key, people!), a pint-sized kitchen with a fridge, a mini desk for my laptop, and a TV for those critical political news binges. Oh, and let's not forget the tiny terrace where I could sip my coffee and pretend I own the lake.

So, here's the hot tea on the bath situation – if you're dreaming of a long, luxurious soak, be prepared for an intermission. The boiler is like the diva of hot water generation, its power is not enough to generate such an amount of hot water at once. And about that toilet – let's just say, the lack of heating turns it into an impromptu ice skating rink in the winter. Pro tip: keep the toilet door wide open unless you fancy a chilly tushie. Now, as for the kitchen, it's there, but the room lacks an official dining zone. No worries, though – who needs to eat indoors when you can embark on a lakeside adventure? Explore, my friends! Oh, and ditch the room for the on-site restaurant – it's a real culinary sanctuary compared to my makeshift lakeside abode.

The location is fantastic — having a small lake right in front of your bedroom is truly special. It's such a peaceful place; you can barely hear the motorway, which makes it even more relaxing. This was my second time staying there, and definitely not the last! Although I didn’t try the breakfast, I did have lunch and dinner at the restaurant this time, and everything was excellent. The menu is small, but every dish was delicious, well portioned, and fairly priced. The room was also great. Some have been recently renovated, which is nice. My only suggestion would be to add a glass door to the shower — without it, the water tends to get all over the bathroom floor, which could be a bit risky, especially for older guests. Free parking is a great plus.

Stayed here for three nights to work at the Hiswa Boat Show in Lelystad. Value for money! The room is comfortable enough for a short stay. Very compact and it has everything you could need. Perfect when travelling alone. The water pressure is amazing. The split-unit a/c is superb and the flatscreen TV big. The restaurant near the cabins is tasty and fast. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definately consider staying here next time I need to be in that area for a couple of days.

As you are next to a pond/lake, at night the lights atract a lot of bugs and therefor also spiders. Just make sure to open and close you front door as quickly as possible, so none of them go into the room. I used repellent coils and spray just in case. Reading other reviews I expected it to be much worse. The cabins are not souns proof. Did not bother me to hear the neighbours from time to time. The hotel does provide earplugs, but didn’t need them. An absolute upgrade to the room would be a small fridge!

I love the location which is next to a little lake and the woods. It was also close to the cycle path that we took traversing the road along the lake from Enkhuizen. There were many cycle paths around, plenty of birds and trees. The place was close to the main road where vehicles used daily but we were not bothered by it because our room was next to the lake that we could even see the sunset from the window. It would have nice if we had a room with a balcony. The room was spacious with the amenities we needed for our stay. There was air-conditioning though we didn't use it because the fan was enough. They even provided water which was a surprise because normally water costs a lot in Netherlands. The food was great! We even got the soup buffet which was fantastic!

The fact that we didn't have the chance to get the room with the balcony but it was nice anyway....

Waking up with a view over the water and the birds, is really something great. Breakfast was good, staff was very helpful and flexible.

Room 14 did not have any wifi signal (even not on manual). When taking a shower the room steams up very quickly even with the fans on. One minor thing when there strong wind and rain, the softly rocking of the ponton/deck can be a weird feeling.

Good value for money. Beautiful setting. Staff extremely accommodating and friendly

Accommodation a bit tired.. Decor passe and felt unloved, although everything was clean Wasn't expecting to pay an additional city tax on arrival. All my other bookings have included this upon booking!

The location is nice. Even though next to a highway, you could not really hear (or see) it. The room that we were in was modern, clean and had more facilities than we expected. The staff was friendly and helpful, the view was great and we are definitely coming back next time we need to be around.

Someone had smoked cigarettes in the toilet cabin. We couldn't get the smell away.

Surprising situation just off the motorway but by a lake

No tea making facilities. too stuffy air as couldn’t open door as people were walking past and big window didn’t open aircon set to 18 so couldn’t cool the room. Could be really nice with a few tweaks

The room, literally on the water, offers a really lovely view on the evening and in the sunrise. All the equipment is modern. The staff is very friendly

A lot of insects are due to the location of the rooms, so if you're sensitive on that point, be careful. The room is a bit small for a long stay but for a night or two it's OK

easy to go highway, clean room, confortable beds, nice shower, wooden cabane next to the pond, supermarket and resto next door, staffs are smiling and kind, by car 30/40mins to Amsterdam, close to lelystad.

no way for late checking.
