Jelske 8/10
Netherlands 🇳🇱

Fun concept, just not for solo female

Pros: I liked the concept, beds were really comfortable, included towels, plus staff I talked to were friendly! There was also a small food and drink area where you could grab something and add it to your bill.

Cons: The caravan I stayed in had a couple things broken and dirty, and it was uncomfortably hot inside (even though it was winter.) The metro was a short distance away, but walking from the station to the hotel in the dark was really not fun; street lamps that are broken, cars that are slowly driving by, drugs being dealt by the parking lot. As a female solo traveler this just made me really nervous and uncomfortable.

Brilliant stay - would definitely book again!

Pros: Amazing value, facilities excellent, so easy to travel into the city centre and real attention to detail with the accommodation itself. So pleased we found this quirky little place!

Cons: The main site was on the cold side for us and the blankets were quite thin, we were kicking ourselves we hadn’t packed an extra layer to sleep in. Appreciate it’s a warehouse shell and we visited late Feb.

Me and my family had a wonderful stay and my youngest son, 11 years old, really loved it, the swing the most.

Pros: I liked staying at outside inn. It was a different experience and fun. Close to a metro station

Its like camping without the camping...

Pros: We decided not to have breakfast there, however, this option is available, the train station is not too far, however, many other ways to get around, Uber, Bike, Bus routes and walking. the place was clean and such an interesting idea - vey unique,

Gary 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Place was spotless, we were here for a concert at the ziggo dome and its a great location for the metro or a taxi (€10) to the arena. The staff were lovely and welcoming and the beach house was immaculate.

Cons: Nothing to complain about

Peter 8/10

Great value pseudo-camping experience without fear of getting wet, cold or bitten by mosquitos.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff, comfy bed, cool caravan, immaculately clean, huge fridge freezer and kitchen facilities (microwave & kettle), quiet area and excellent silence after 11pm in sleeping area, play facilities for kids and pseudo-kids

Cons: Awful background boom-boom pop music from breakfast till lights out or boom-boom bass heavy jazz on Sunday morning

Amazing fun filled experience

Pros: Stayed here as a suprise for my son’s 10th birthday. We normally stay in 4-5 star hotels but I wanted to give him a different experience and wasn’t disappointed. Honestly 10/10. Staff went above and beyond filling with balloons, banners, a custom card matching our room stay and some celebration chocolates. We both loved the experience and the fun factor. would highly recommend and we would sure stay again. Beds were super comfy, and everywhere including bathrooms and toilets were spotless. Although not in Amsterdam central was super easy to commute and we did daily.

Cute and quirky place with friendly staff

Pros: Very unique property/hostel type, feels more like a hotel than a hostel. Very clean and the staff were always helpful. Guests are very respectful and even report lost property. I would stay here again.

Cons: The showers don’t have any heating controls which can be hard to adjust to during the colder periods. More quiet environment than a social one but that’s not a negative, just an observation!

Luna 10/10
Portugal 🇵🇹

Pros: Loved the whole concept of the hostel. It gives you the privacy of a hotel at a hostel price. The staff were absolutely amazing, helped with everything. The facilities were super clean and had everything.
