    Only two little things: 1. I would have liked if there was somewhere to put the suitcase other than the floor. 2. That we only booked 2 nights 😁

    It’s small but clean and comfortable. The terrace right on the water is so peaceful even though there’s a rather large road nearby. We very much enjoyed having our delicious breakfast on the terrace looking at the cute ducks and watching the fish jump. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Their English may be a little limited but there was no problem understanding each other. All in all wonderful. Would recommend any time.

    The room is not big, we had to play tetris a bit with the suitcases. Other than that all was great

    This is not city center Gouda but we were looking for something in that specific area so it worked out perfectly. The view is amazing and the place has really good chill vibes. The room is clean and cozy, we loved the floor to ceiling windows with the view to the lake.

    This is a charming little place right on the water, all windows and a deck. Clean, comfy bed, nice breakfast! The owner not only let us use his rowboat and stand up paddle boat, but also drove us to the Gouda train station. In summary - amazing!

    Everything was great.

    Cosy private cottage, not necessarily just bed & breakfast. Astrid is very kind and makes you feel welcome from first contact. The delivery of the basket breakfast is the sweetest personal touch. The facilities are comfortable and have all that is essential for a pleasant relaxing weekend getaway.

    Maybe just a little monotonous breakfast, but you can definitely arrange a change with the owners (we were only for three days, so we didn't deal with it). Coffee lovers have to put up with a "bag" coffee maker. You have to go to a cafe for an espresso.

    Very friendly and nice owners of the accommodation. Great location in a quiet suburb, but at the same time very close to the center of Gouda. Very good location for planning trips to famous destinations (Amtrdam, Rotterdam, Zeeland...). I highly recommend this accommodation.

    The fact that the owner kept going on about our estimated time of arrival indicated as 15:00, but when the booking confirmation came throug it said anytime for 14:00 to 20:00. Either booking.com should not send that mail, or the owner needs to be more flexible towards guests.

    The view was great, the place was clean. Value for money. The breakfast was AMAZING. The owner went out of their way to provide a high-quality continental breakfast. There are a lot of bevarages/snacks to choose from, which was great. Hist is also friendly and well prepared. Would definitely recommend to family/friends.

    The room is small, even compared to other Dutch hotels. The space for the shower, toilet, and sink is too tight. The TV is really small. The restaurants are within 30 minutes walking distance and not in a nice area. Driving to Gouda is only 5 minutes but you have to pay for parking if you find a space.

    Good host, sleep near the water is cool, the breakfast was good

    No milk available on evening of arrival so couldn't make a cuppa but mentioned to owner who provided it in the morning. ( I think most visitors have black tea/coffee) No nearby restaurants within walking distance - need to go into centre of Gouda which meant getting back on our bikes after a full day of cycling. However, great restaurants!

    Luxurious, light, very spacious accommodation in great setting overlooking a lake. Owner very helpful and friendly.

    Could have done with information about how to find the property using public transport. Bus no 2 from station stops at De Wadden, a short walk over the bridge to the property. Google maps says to get off at the stop before, giving a long and complicated walk.

    Quiet location, nice view, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast.

    The kitchen is not private as the owner says but I did not expect to have the owner inside without any warning first or at least a knock on the door. Also the door that separates the kitchen from the rooms has not key to lock it, so you don't feel like being private. Nevertheless the owners are very kind and hostile but we needed to feel more privacy

    Really nice place and comfortable. We were a family of four and we really enjoyed it. The house is just next to a canal and you are able to sit outside watching the floating ducks!

    - The owners do not speak English or German at a reasonable level, so communication was problematic. - The car park is in front of the house, but the house is in a cul-de-sac with no turning possibility. Parking and driving off are naturally a bit of a hassle. The flat can be reached from the rear entrance of the house and is located directly on the waterfront. Therefore, everything is a bit clammy. - The flat is a decent size but the layout is very unorthodox, you walk through the bathroom into the living room/bedroom. The shower works well, but there is no shower gel (but instead all kinds of other products such as EdT for men and women, shampoo etc.). - The towels are very worn, the light shines through. This is a good way of recognising who just wants to make money from their guests or make their stay a pleasant one. - Sheets and bed linen are a bit too "colourful" and obviously not ironed (or still crumpled from the last guest??) - The TV is miniature (but I didn't want to use it anyway) and is in the bedroom. There is a very large sofa bed in the living room, it is not comfortable to sit on. You couldn't watch TV from there anyway because the TV is too far away and too small. - Breakfast is just about standard, an egg, a warmed croissant, a slice of cheese (and that in Gouda!!!) a slice of sausage, NO butter (only margarine). And it was served by the host in his pyjamas. That is unprofessional. - When I was sitting on the toilet, I was ENERGICALLY drummed out by the landlady because she had an appointment to attend. It was early in the day and I wanted to leave at 8:00 anyway. - Nobody was there when I left, so I couldn't ask for a bill. The invoice was sent to me on request, but not as a PDF, but as a scan of an invoice that had already been crumpled up (and thrown away). I am curious to see whether the tax authorities will recognise this invoice. This is absolutely unacceptable for business travellers.

    - The mattress is good. - The WLAN works perfectly. - The room is very quiet.
