The room had a ver foul sewage smell, stained bedding and carpet. The shower was moldy, toiletries provided were empty when I went to use them. Tried opening window to let in fresh air and spiders were everywhere behind curtains. I did ask to be moved to another Timm and the front desk did accommodate me. Next room was a bit better but similar condition in the bathroom. The condition of the rooms are very old, damaged and needing a complete upgrade. Lobby and restaurant looked nice. I did not eat onsite as restaurant was closed early upon arrival.

Not bad hotel

The stay was good, bathroom a bit dangerous due to newly laid tiles. Which are not designed for shower and bathroom floors. Had to use a towel in the shower and bath room floor to stop slipping over.

Nice location on the beach. Room was nice, perhaps getting somewhat aged but that was reflected by the price. A bit longer walk in to Makkum itself, but doable and safe. We picked it for the water view and easy access to laundry facilities, right nearby, for the midpoint of our trip.

Steel mattress springs no topper

The mattress springs were harsh I am still limping around from the ache in my hip. My back aches and my shoulder is sore. II slept on top of the comforter to add cushion. It helped some. Very nice people and service but I ache and now need a massage to enjoy the rest of my vacation.

Overall, a bit basic but it was an okay stay for one night in the winter. Mostly just the lack of transparency, as the hotel reception charged triple the amount of the 'additional fee' than what was listed on the Expedia site when booking. Otherwise fine for what you pay - thank you!

We checked into our room and it was so barebones it was unbelievable. The room was dark, the bedding looked very worn, and there were no pictures on the walls. It was stripped bare of everything. It was so bad we left the hotel and went to Sneek and stayed at another hotel. When we left we told the person at the reception desk we were leaving, and why, and they acted as if they could care less that weren't satisfied with the room. We would really like Orbitz to consider a refund to us as the hotel would do nothing.

On the sea in Makkum

Really liked many aspects of this hotel. I was there in the winter for a visit to one of the many yards that calls Makkum home. Restaurant and service was two highlights and the view from the room was great. Bed and bedding, not so much, the team would need to switch things up for me to sleep well with both feeling dated and bedding not fitting well to the bed.

Great location. Disappointing accommodations.

Great location. Great restaurant. The hotel itself is just outdated and basic. Dirty floors, and walls. Beds are single and not double which isn't the best. Also, it's overpriced for what you get. We paid through this site and we're required to pay extra for breakfast and an extra bed (even though we booked for the extra person). We didn't want breakfast but they said we booked it and had to pay the extra cost for it.

The restaurant has a really good cook and team, excellent cuisine and that in The Netherlands .. Rooms are dated but they build new and should be ready soon. Hopefully they get rid of the cigarette smokers because that’s a health hazard and gross too, yak. Bright future ahead when smart choices are prevalent within.

My colleague and I arrived at 8:15 in the evening, we had both done a long days work and were hungry. We were then told that the restaurant was closed, and that the hotel could not serve us a meal not even a sandwich! When I complained I was told that they were under a COVID lockdown, I knew that perfectly well but that is no excuse for not providing a meal on a tray to be taken off to the bedroom. If I wanted to stay in a motel then I would have booked such but I booked and paid for a Hotel precisely because I wanted food included. Along with all essential workers I am well aware of the rules around Covid but if I were to use lockdown as an excuse not to work then no one would have any power. We were able to order a take away but this was not something that the staff were able to assist with we had to sort this out ourselves.

Human size hotel with warmth and coziness. The person at the reception was, however, not necessarily very helpful and understanding to my needs (early departure, check out and breakfast). Luckily, the staff at the restaurant the next morning were amazing.
