    Nice farm campsite with large tents and lots of things to keep the kids entertained: climbing in the hay bales, cuddling with the kittens and racing around on the go-kart

    Wij zijn zeker niet te spreken over de service die BoerenBed heeft verleend. Het gaat om een boeking gedaan op 21 juni, geannuleerd op 21 juni, contact gehad op 22 juni en terugbetaling was op 21 juli. Deze boeking was voor de herfstvakantie dit jaar. Wij hebben een boeking gedaan en binnen een kwartier hebben wij deze willen annuleren per mail. Dit alles was in de avond. De volgende dag had ik nog geen bericht en heb ik heb gebeld. In plaats van enige coulance was het enige dat zij zeiden; β€˜u kunt 70% van het betaalde bedrag terug krijgen’. Wij waren dus direct €150 euro armer zonder dat we er iets voor hebben gekregen. Ik heb aangegeven dat ik dit dus echt belachelijk vond en daar graag iemand over wilde spreken. Niemand heeft hierover contact opgenomen. Zij hebben in de kleine lettertjes staan dat je, zodra je de voorwaarde accepteert, afstand doet het wettelijke annulering termijn. Vervolgens hebben zij er bijna 4 weken over gedaan om het geld terug te storten. Ik snap dat je een deel van het geld inhoudt op het moment dat het op de korte termijn word geannuleerd, want ik begrijp dat je dan een verlies hebt van inkomen. In ons geval is dit niet zo daar we binnen een kwartier de annulering hebben door gemaild. Wij hadden graag kennis willen maken met dit concept maar deze gang van zaken heeft daar een behoorlijke smet op gelegd!
