Ein schöner Aufenthalt

Wir hatten drei wunderbare Nächte in Aalsmeer. Alles hat geklappt. Vermisst haben wir nur einen Toaster. Auch mit dem nahen Flughafen kamen wir gut zurecht. Wer empfindlich ist, braucht Ohrenstöpsel. Für uns war es völlig ok. Wir waren überwiegend in Amsterdam, von der Unterkunft aus super erreichbar. Danke an die Vermieter.

Aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau ;) Es ist sehr entspannt und man kann gut abschalten. Alle Geschäfte die man braucht, sind Fussläufig zu erreichen. Parken ist auch kein Problem.

Une semaine de vacances à 2

Nous avons passé un bon sejour sur votre péniche. Il est dommage cependant qu'il n'y est pas de four ni de congélateur. L'aeroport est a proximité donc un peu de bruit mais pas la nuit de 23h à 7h. Sinon tout était ok : le quartier est très agréable et tous les commerces sont à proximité.

Ist okay

Das Hausboot hat von der Terrasse einen schönen Blick auf andere Boote. Leider wirkt es etwas ungepflegt und lieblos.. Der Backofen funktioniert immer noch nicht, die Kühlschranktür ist defekt und die Matratzen durchgelegen. Nach der Reinigung des Syphons ist das Wasser im Bad des Waschbeckens wieder abgeflossen. Schöner wäre es, wenn diese Arbeit nicht der Gast übernehmen müsste..

Fast perfektes Relaxen

Außer, das der Ofen kaputt war und trotz Sonnenschirmständer kein Sonnenschirm vorhanden war, war alles schön. Jedoch als Feedback möchte mit auf dem Weg geben, dass ich es als Service erachte, das der Vermieter(in) o.Mitarbeiter der Agentur vorbei kommen und nachfragen, ob alles in Ordnung ist. So fühlt sich dann der Gast gut aufgehoben, und bei Problemen kann schneller reagiert werden. Ich meine dabei nicht die Gäste, die nur ein Wochenende da sind; sondern länger als 3-4 Tage auf dem Hausboot übernachten. Ich finde dies ergibt dann auch bessere Rezessionen, die zu mehr Buchungen führen können.

Gemütliches Hausboot mit toller Aussicht!

Sehr gemütlich eingerichtetes Hausboot mit genügend Platz. In der Küche waren alle benötigten Utensilien zum Kochen vorhanden. Lediglich der Backofen war „out of Order“. Einen Toaster gab es leider auch nicht. Dafür liegt der Lidl mit leckeren Backwaren direkt fussläufig. Das Hausboot war sehr geschmackvoll und liebevoll eingerichtet. Für uns beide und unsere kleine Fellnase ein rundum perfekter Urlaub! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
