Being right in the centre made everything so easy to access, and having bikes included was such a bonus for exploring the area. They offer everything you might need to rent, which made our stay even more convenient. Truly the best place to unwind and enjoy Giethoorn.

“We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this B&B!”
We had an excellent stay at B&B De Hofstee. The location is perfect, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast provided was more than enough and very satisfying. The host was incredibly kind and helpful—he even gave us a ride to Steenwijk Station, which we deeply appreciated. It would have been quite challenging to get there by bus, especially since my friend had hurt her foot while biking.

“Perfect hosts for a unwinding retreat.”
This is the best decision we made for all accommodations on our trip. The village of Giethoorn should be experienced when it’s not invaded by tourists-that requires you to stay the night to enjoy the quiet romantic evening strolls, and refreshing morning walks. The hosts were accommodating, friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay worry free. The location is off the main “canal” and within walking distance to everything. We took the bikes to the grocery store and to the nature parks. We also rented a boat from the host - I highly recommend that you do this, but start before 9 AM so that you can finish before the … rush of tourists take over. We never saw such boat traffic. We will be back and now we have to not guess where to stay. The room is spacious and very clean. Bathroom is spacious and private. The grounds are clean and well maintained. Breakfast was plenty, as others have written, we didn't need lunch.

“Accommodation in a unique setting with parking”
This is a delightful apartment in a unique and beautiful setting. To secure accommodation with parking on the edge of the no car zone of this wonderful canal village is special indeed. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped and, as others have stated, the breakfast provisions are so generous we were able to have them for lunch every day too. Although there is some foot traffic past the window it didn’t occur early morning or later in the evening so was not a problem. The communication from and interaction with the host was excellent.

“Perfect stay”
What a lovely place! Location is perfect. Inside our room was fresh bread, snacks and breakfast items. We had access to bikes and could book a boat directly from the hosts. What a perfect weekend!

“This B&B is better in real life than the photos”
More or less everything, location is good, room is good, kitchen area is good, the sofa was great, bathroom even though is a bit far but the size of it make up for it. Breakfast was more than enough & very generous. The young lady booked us in was very helpful & very friendly.

“10/10”
Perfect location to explore Giethorn, super clean, comfortable, nice bathroom, kitchen has everything you need, delicious breakfast, staff very friendly, boat(rental) and bike ready to be use in front of the apartment. Highly recommended. Tip: be a early bird and explore Giethoorn in the morning, no tourists or boats in the canal yet.
