    We found our stay very disappointing.When we arrived it was very cold in the bungalow (15 degrees) and it takes a long time for the bungalow to get up to temperature because of the underfloor heating. Furthermore, the cleaning was far below standard. Everything is filthy. Interior is in need of replacement. Cutlery and crockery is a mess. All different plates, dishes, cutlery. Pans were dirty, and all brown. Closet in bedroom is almost falling apart. There was a foul smell in 1 of the bedrooms (weed smell). What I also find disappointing is that the owner now responds to my review, but on their own site my review is not posted. On this there are only good reviews. Very strange.

    Wij hebben ons verblijf als zeer teleurstellend ervaren.Toen we aankwamen was het zeer koud in de bungalow (15 graden) en het duurt lang voor de bungalow op temperatuur is vanwege de vloerverwarming. Verder was de schoonmaak ver beneden peil. Alles is smoezelig. Interieur is aan vervanging toe. Bestek en servies is een bij elkaar geraapt zooitje. Allemaal veschillende borden, schaaltjes, bestek. Pannen waren vies, en helemaal bruin. Kast in de slaapkamer valt bijna uit elkaar. Hing een vieze geur in 1 van de slaapkamers (wietlucht). Wat ik ook teleurstellend vind is dat de eigenaar nu wel reageert op mijn review, maar op hun eigen site is mijn review niet geplaatst. Hierop zijn alleen maar goede reviews te lezen. Heel vreemd.

    We had a fantastic stay at bungalow park Het Verscholen Dorp in Harderwijk with New Year's Eve 2024/2025. A lovely spacious lodge, beautifully and cozily decorated. A sweet welcome package for our dog and bubbles ready to usher in the new year. We would love to come back again.

    Wij hadden een fantastisch verblijf op bungalowpark Het Verscholen Dorp in Harderwijk met Oud&Nieuw 2024/2025. Een heerlijke ruime lodge, mooi en gezellig ingericht. Een lief welkomstpakket voor onze hond en bubbels die klaar stonden om het nieuwe jaar in te luiden. We komen graag nog eens terug.

    Had a very pleasant stay last Christmas with our young adult children and the dog. The stay was perfectly organized across the board. Before, during and after our stay was a handy mail flow that kept us nicely informed about where to go for trips, shopping, ..... On-site reception was also very pleasant, the welcome gift for the dog was certainly appreciated. Even for check-out during a holiday/closing day they had perfect solutions. The bungalow was perfectly fine, clean and fully equipped. So it was 3 days of optimal tranquility in a beautiful wooded area. An environment that even with the drizzly and foggy winter weather has enough to offer for a relaxing time.

    De afgelopen kerstdagen een zeer aangenaam verblijf gehad met onze jong-volwassen kinderen en de hond. Het verblijf was over de hele lijn perfect geregeld. Voorafgaand, tijdens en na ons verblijf was een handige mailflow die ons mooi op de hoogte hield over waar we terecht konden voor uitstappen, inkopen, .... Ook de ontvangst terplaatse was zeer aangenaam, de welkoms attentie voor de hond werd zeker gewaardeerd. Zelfs voor uitchecken tijdens een feest/sluitingsdag hadden ze perfecte een oplossing. De bungalow was perfect in orde, proper en van alle nodige voorzieningen voorzien. Het was dus 3 dagen optimaal genieten van de rust in een mooie bosrijke omgeving. Een omgeving die zelfs bij het miezige en mistige winterweer voldoende te bieden heeft voor een ontspannende tijd.
