Right in the heart of the village. Easy to park nearby. Delicious breakfast, and lovely member of staff serving this. She provided great gluten free rolls for me, freshly baked from the oven.

We loved the cozy room and bicycles for free! Though it took a bit longer than expected to walk from the bus stop to the property, it’s worth the price for staying.

Loved everything but thought the shower room let it down.
Shower that didn’t spray out and was difficult to get the right temperature, basin that did not have hot water at all and found when showering floor was slightly slippy!

Giethoorn is the Venice of the Netherlands, it’s beautiful even though the weather was not brilliant during our stay but the place is amazing and I can imagine will be packed come Summer. We went during the Easter long weekend and still enjoyed the place.
Will definitely go back again ☺️

1. It's perfect to stay 1 or 2 nights and explore this place deeply.
2. Over 2 nights would be too much I think.
3. It's so nice to walk around not just in the center, of course with nice weather is important.
4. It's great to have 2hr boat ride with great weather, was so comfortable and the guide was so great.

Giethoorn is one of many places nicknamed Northern Venice and the resemblance with its canals is definitely there. But the nickname almost doesn't do the town its justice. It has a lot more natural scenery to offer and is much more peaceful. A great destination for someone who is for instance cycling through the country.

This a very nice and special area, it worth walking and taking a boat trip. We were there at the end of the summer in mid September, it was not too crowded. I think it is nice in the winter also, they said that the canals usually frozen and ice-skating is possible.

A great place to visit however the weather plays a key role on how much you will enjoy. Never visit this place if it raining.
Good time to spend 1 day around the water ways.
Great cycling track and prefer to rent a bycyle to visit nearby villages which are equally beautiful.

Our journey to the beautiful village "Giethoorn" was a pleasant one. The scenic beauty on the way was mesmerizing, and we could not wait to explore the village. As we arrived, we were welcomed by the warm and friendly locals and the Hostel we stayed in.
The village was indeed beautiful and had a serene environment that was perfect for a relaxing family atmosphere. The lush greenery and the calmness of the place were truly rejuvenating along with the long water tunnels. We wished we could stay longer and soak in the tranquility of the village.
The hotel is located by the side of the Giethoorn village. To go to the center of the village will be by riding the bike and takes less than 10 minutes. There are some charming houses and tranquil narrow waterways close to the hotel. They are as beautiful as those in the village center but less tourists. The room is very clean and big. People can rest at the terrace by the water and enjoy the picturesque nature. The hotel and its restaurant supply charming atmosphere and are well designed and decorated. The hosts and staffs are very kind.
The kitchen was well stocked and regularly cleaned. Checkin staff very nice and multilingual, and the location was great for us! Smit Giethoorn restaurant is just across the canal for great dinner and boat/kayak rentals. Nearby are bike rental businesses too. Don't miss out on the sunrise in the country lane behind the hostel! Breakfast was punctual and decent coffee.
Overall we loved our stay here but in future we will bring more friends who do not snore so we can fill a room and sleep through the night!
Everything:) this lodge is the perfect staying in Giethoorn.
Pros:
Location (it is in the north, not full of tourists) and it is very quiet
Accommodation is perfect for 4 persons, it has 2 bedrooms
Kitchen is fully equipped, you have everything that you need for cooking
The garden is superb and there's a barbecue as well
You can enjoy the canoes/bicycles provided by Ed&Nancy
The beds are very comfortable
Cons:
-absolutely nothing
For sure, we will return soon.
We absolutely loved the breakfast and dinner that were served at the restaurant! The staff were incredibly friendly, and very accommodating and flexible. We got some advice for where to go, and how to best get to the city center of Giethoorn. It was a very nice walk from the hotel, and we thought it was in the perfect location, as there were not too many tourists.
We stayed in this little hotel on the outskirts of Giethoorn. For a night's stay I would say it is perfect. We sadly did not have any interaction with the staff, apart from briefly at breakfast. You do a self check-in and check-out. The room was clean, the bed comfy and the bathroom perfect. It is within walking distance to the lovely village of Giethoorn.
Great beautiful hotel with friendly staff. Our room was directly on the canal with a wonderful outdoor seating and the restaurant was elegant and luxurious,especially since we are vegetarians,the chef prepared a special dinner for us and it was very delicious. Thank you chef you are creative and the best in Netherlands
The location is amazing. On one side of the hotel is the big public parking which is free of charge. On the other side of the hotel is the canal where you can take the tour on boat. So it's easy for you to enjoy the tranquil morning and dusk in Giethoorn. Staffs are very friendly and the restaurant is nice.
Nice hotel which has all you need for a short stay in Giethoorn: free parking, around 15min walk to the canal and following bridges. We had lunch there as well: good food fair price. Staff gives good information without being too pushy. I can recommend this hotel.
Host was nice, Room was spacious & clean, bathroom & towels were clean. Free parking in front of the hotel. Freshly prepared breakfast, my wife liked the raisin bread. I liked the idea of no wastage, as you have to preselect the breakfast the night before.
The apartment is very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The breakfast provisions are sufficient for lunch and breakfast. The location is excellent, being in the centre of the beautiful Giethoorn Village. The hosts are very friendly and helpful.
The location was absolutely stunning, it really is the best located property in the village, as you have the beauty of the canal right in front if you, but can also easily park your car. Wendy the host was absolutely charming!
Food was exceptional
Hotel staffs were very very friendly and kind.
Location was fantastic right near to all the city center.
Staff was very responsive and respectful.
I would definitely recommend this place.
A stunning setting, so calm and serene - slightly away from the main part of Giethoorn but in a wonderfully pretty village and everything is within a short bike or boat ride
The location is pretty good, just at the entrance of the village,the hotel is self checkin and checkout which is very convenient, the room is pretty clean and comfortable.
