Dont come here if you want to be fireworks free We booked the location due to its claim to be free from fireworks. While I understand that it is not possible to control all activities in the park, two of the next door neighbours had fireworks going for a good 15min at 6 and then again at midnight for longer. I tried calling reception in the hope that it was staffed for this reason at new year but of course it wasnt. We would have been better off staying home where we had options to care for our petrified dog. We left two days before the end of our booking period. Additionally we found blood stains on the stripped blankets, christmas decoration leftover on the floor under beds and dried baked goods (bagels I think) under the sofa, showing a lack of cleansiness I did not expect. I will not recommend the location to dog owner friends to avoid fireworks, I will however also not recommend the location for non dog owners due to cleaning standards not being met. I do have pictures and videos evidence of the claims.

Christmas Spa Holiday - Exceptional with a few opportunities for improvement We booked the hotel for 24.12 and 25.12.2024, choosing a Deluxe room with a luxurious course dinner on 24.12 and à la carte dinner on 25.12. Our overall experience was positive. Check-in is at 14:00, and early access to the spa requires an extra ticket. While my communication was in English, all replies were in Dutch. This was manageable with Google Translate. I wonder why the Hotel was so resistant in replying in English, as we know the Dutch are excellent English speakers. We arrived at 13:30, and check-in went smoothly. The room initially did not open with the code, but after receiving a card from reception, we accessed a large, clean room with direct ground floor access. Towels and other spa essentials were nicely prepared. The spa is amazing, especially in winter. It features three outdoor pools and one indoor pool with perfect temperatures, nozzles, and a whirlpool. The Kneipp area is also great, and the additional cost for private sauna areas is reasonable. We enjoyed snacks like apple strudel, water, small Weizen, fries, and cake, all delicious and reasonably priced at 26 EUR. I found some reviews about the place being dirty and worn out unfair. While some areas show corrosion due to the saltwater pools, everything is maintained. Its normal to find some hairs in showers and trash in dressing areas when its busy. More frequent cleaning would be beneficial. We pre-ordered the Christmas menu, which included a salmon starter, white fish with vegetables, and a large dessert plate. The meal was satisfactory, and with drinks, the total was 120 EUR. Regarding the bed, the reviews were accurate. It was small with a very soft mattress, making it uncomfortable. I struggled to stay in the bed and not roll over my wife, as the beds tended to slip apart during the night. Breakfast was standard European fare with buns, eggs, ham, sausages, cheese, yogurt, etc. It wasnt exceptional but was satisfactory. Just for information…the room key password still didnt work, though we had the key. Funny, the emergency exit / parking opened with the password and not with the key, the hotel room vise-versa. On the second day, the spa was more crowded since it was the first Christmas day. The cleanliness decreased, and I didnt see any cleaning staff, only guards. Additional cleaning throughout the day would improve the experience. Lunch included croquette and French fries with beer for two, totaling 36 EUR. Our last dinner was à la carte. We ordered beef carpaccio and assorted bread with olive oil, crème, herbal butter, and olives. The starter was good, but the main dishes were disappointing. The curry was tasteless, and the chicken satay with French fries and mayonnaise was not appealing. Peanut sauce with fries…you can do so but shouldn’t. Since the menu is only in Dutch language and no English version available, we overlooked this. Overall, the food is average, so its not the place for fine dining. However, the spa, especially in winter, the large room, and the timing made it worthwhile. We spent around 430 EUR for two nights, including breakfast, and another 300 EUR for food.

Leuk park, het huisje was minder goed Ons huisje was veel ouder en slechter onderhouden dan op de foto’s te zien is. Het was ook niet al te proper achtergelaten. De slaapkamers waren zeer klein en er vertoonde zich schimmel aan de ramen, omdat er niet goed verlucht wordt.

GB Judo Tour The accommodation allowed a team to be together, share the team ethics and working relationships of a sport. The venues were clean, spacious and very accommodating allowing the athletes to become a team and experience an international camp.

I already gave the feedback in the sustainability section (apologies). The park itself is great. The swimming pool has no minus points. The temperature is great and the pool is clean. The kids loved it. The park is not reachable by phone. Ive called a couple of days, at different times and I always get the same message about the long waiting time. I loved the independence we received when checking in and out. I really dont like the house (131) I never want to get a house like this one again. The house wasnt cleaned properly. Upon arrival we had to clean to make it livable for the 4 nights. The bathrooms were the worst of all. Especially the smell and the podium like bathroom. It was also a minus that the house didnt have a microwave/oven, but only a microwave. The atmosphere and cleanliness of the park overall compensated for disappointment we got because of the house. The next time we visit we dont want 131 or a house like it anymore.

UK Visitors to Klein Vink This was our first experience staying with Roompot and in Netherlands driving from London. The location was fantastic with so much green space, lakes and good swimming facilities. Restaurant served good food and drinks. Location was near to some nice towns and not too far from major Dutch and German cities.

Friendly place Nice staff, I like the thermal bath, close to Arcen castle gardens, nice dinner menu, enjoyed the breakfast. Wish children was allowed in the bath with parental supervision. Only letdown was the beds. Instead of a double bed they push two singles together.

The hotel is nice and clean. Spa is excellent. However the person at the reception desk was not helpful and nice when I asked for an invoice during check-out. She told me I can not get the invoice since I booked the room via booking and I should ask booking to send the invoice to me. When I asked support from the manager she also refused the reuqest. I had to leave the hotel without having the invoice and they were very rude to me. I travel since several years and book always via booking and finally get an invoice at the hotel desk. This is not an issue for other hotels. I asked help from booking and they promised to contact you as well directly to send me an invoice, since this is your duty. All in all I am very disappointed because of this case.

Non fun. No thermal bath and spa for under 18. This was not ehat was advertised
Reply from Roompot
Dear Igor, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Its great to see that youve explored our spa and relaxation facilities, though I read with a frown that you couldnt dive into the thermal baths if youre under 18. 🤔 While we do have certain age restrictions for the thermal baths and spa to ensure the safety and well-being of all guests, we also have a splash-tastic indoor pool and a myriad of activities that are perfect for all ages. Our lake and surrounding nature offer a peaceful retreat and were thrilled you got to experience that. For our younger guests, the indoor playground and Kids Club are usually a big hit! Next time, perhaps a kayak adventure or a game of glow-in-the-dark mini golf could add some extra spark to your stay? We hope to see you soon. Best wishes, Roompot

My room was large,, clean and functional. All interactions with the staff were excellent, especially one of the waitresses in the restaurant and the cook who went out of their way to serve me, even though the kitchen was no longer serving lunch. In the spa, I spent almost all my time in the sauna area and found it a little stark and utilitarian - not particularly attractive compared to many of the other spas I have visited. There was nothing wrong with the sauna facilities, but the general atmosphere was a little gloomy, there werent many places to hang towels around the shower area and no real relaxation area for post-sauna uses.
