House Rules
Reservation
- When making a reservation, the correct number of people who will be staying with us must always be stated.
- Due to the watery location, children are not allowed.
- The lodge is suitable for a maximum occupancy of 2 people. It is therefore not permitted to stay overnight in the room with more than two people.
- In the event of a violation, 100% of the currently applicable overnight rate will be charged, in addition to the accommodation costs already due.
- Visitors and ‘dates’ are not permitted, regardless of whether payment has been made. If this is suspected, you must leave the premises immediately, without entitlement to a refund.
Check-in generally takes place from 3:00 PM. A different time can be arranged in consultation with the host. Check-in is preferably before 8:00 PM. Please indicate approximately what time you expect to arrive at least one day before arrival. This ensures that someone is present and you do not have to wait unnecessarily. You can also arrive earlier, for example, to drop off your luggage and pick up the key. To check in, please report to the front door of the house.
Check-out is between 7:00 and 11:00 AM at the latest on the day of departure. Depending on occupancy, a different check-out time may apply in consultation with (and with the permission of) the host.
Key Management
Upon arrival, you will receive one key for your accommodation from the host. You are responsible for locking the doors of your accommodation and turning off the lights, heating, and air conditioning. Please return the key to the host upon check-out.
Lost key
In the event of a lost key, Slapen aan het ven will charge you € 200.
Breakfast
Breakfast is served on the terrace in good weather, or indoors in bad weather conditions. We will agree on a time with you between 8:00 and 10:00.
Bed linen and towels
For longer stays, towels and bed linen are changed upon request. The cost of this is included in the price unless other arrangements have been made.
Ensuring hygiene
It is not permitted to sleep on the beds without sheets and pillowcases.
