Amsterdam / Loosdrecht Rien Van Den Broeke Village

Row row row your boat... with all the luggage We stayed in the island lodge. The lodge itself is very nice, only downpoint of the actual lodge is lack of storage space in the kitchen. My biggest complaints about this place were 1. When making the booking it NEVER mentioned that the only way to access your lodge is via a small rowing boat. I kid you not. I was with a family of 5, and none of us had ever rowed a boat a day in our lives. Had i known this upfront i would never have booked this lodge. THIS ROOM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ANYONE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES!!And that should be described in the room information. 2. You cant leave the island when its dark because its pitch black. This restricted what we could do and also prevented me from attending a planned meal out with a client. We asked the morning after we arrived if we could change rooms but only at a cost of nearly 400 euros for 2 further nights. I think the staff think its hilarious but it ruined what was supposed to be a chance for us to get away and relax while i did a couple of days work.

This is a nice place,the area was pretty and the cabin was nicely furnished but be aware that no soap, shampoo or dish soap is provided, the toilet room is also very small( like airplane or smaller) Also there is a $95 fee for bed linens as well as a cleaning fee and a deposit on top of what you already paid.
