"Pros: Located on a quiet street with parking, easy to find. The place was attractively decorated and the bed super comfortable. Our hostess, who speaks fluent English, made wonderful breakfasts with excellent coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice each morning. We were close to Keukenhof and tulip fields, the beaches and wonderful restaurants. Cons: Because of the stairs to the top floor it was too hard to carry a suitcase, so we left it in the trunk." ~Margit

"Pros: The hosts were lovely and helped to make our stay comfortable, enjoyable and relaxing and also so very welcoming. The views and locations are perfect for someone who wants more of a countryside/ quiet stay. It was perfect. Ernst was always great providing us with wood for the new Sauna. His wife was lovely with helping out with exploring new places and sparing the time to see if we're ok. Such a lovely family. Exceeded expectations, although we didn't have any because the reviews and photos helped us book the best location for our holiday. 25 minutes bike ride to Keukenhof flower garden was also a bonus. ( Ernst organised for us to have hired bikes for the duration of our stay which was amazing! ) We'll definitely be back in the future. 5* Cons: There's nothing that we didn't like." ~Dunn

"Pros: A beautiful setting in an affluent, serene area of Sassenheim. We had the Loft apartment at the side of the house, opposite an ancient ruined castle, overlooking a quiet waterway. Cosy, romantic and cottage-like. A private (if teeny) sauna & toilet on entering the front door. At the top a little kitchenette with French doors onto a small sun terrace over the canal. Room to lay outside on loungers when sunny, or just sit and relax. Very private, quiet and calm. A large bed squeezed into a space opposite a basin & shower. Cosy, quiet & comfortable, with Netflix freely available. Annemiek, the owner, was just lovely. We hired the (top quality) e-bikes for 2 days which were excellent, well worth paying 3x the cost of ‘City bikes’ and made hilly coastal dune cycling against gale winds a piece of cake. The bikes virtually rode themselves! Cons: Loo downstairs and no basin there, (instead of being with the basin & shower up in the Loft space). Impractical, esp. at night, bearing in mind the ‘child-sized’, extremely narrow, spiral staircase up to the Loft space. We are ‘ladies of a certain age’+ but very fit, agile & slim. Not easy to get airline / cabin sized backpacks up & down this. Guests would struggle to reach the Loft space if not super agile & slimly built, or if taller than 5ft 7”. Hand basin tiny, with eaved roof sloping inwards above it meant heads constantly hitting this! Just about useable, but water gets all over basin area. Other than these issues, we loved it!" ~Toni

"Pros: We had an amazing stay in this small, private house located in a secluded part of the garden, separated by a gate. Two charming and friendly Ragdoll cats roam in the garden, adding a delightful touch to the stay. The cleanliness was impeccable – everything was spotless. Bianca went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Breakfast was provided in the form of a set of plant-based products, carefully selected and stocked in the fridge, which was a great touch. We also appreciated the focus on sustainability, with waste sorting options available on-site. The town itself is quiet and peaceful, but with excellent transportation links. There are direct buses to Leiden, Haarlem, Schiphol Airport, and the nearby train station just one minute walk from the accommodation. A perfect retreat for anyone looking for a relaxing, eco-friendly stay!" ~Dimitri

"Pros: Clean and simple Cons: The cold inside! Airco to high" ~Erwin
