Our Happy Clients
Posted on Shelly ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht, wir haben vor dem Hotel ein Boot gebucht, wo wir als Hotelgast 10% Rabatt bekommen würden. Danach wurde uns erst angezeigt dass unser Boot an einer ganz anderen Stelle abgeholt werden muss und wir sind planlos in Giethoorn herum gelaufen, auf die Hotline 2x angerufen keiner meldet sich, das ganze System unverständlich. Als wir dann beim Bootsverleih ankamen war eine Stunde unserer Zeit schon vorüber und der ganze Bootsverleih war geschlossen. Es standen einige Boote hinten auf dem Hof, erst sollten wir Boot 63 laut App, dann 64 nehmen, da wir keinen Plan hatten wie’s geht haben wir’s gelassen. Also mal ebend 45€ futsch. Keine Rückmeldung bis heute obwohl ich per whats App kontaktiert habePosted on KilianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir haben heute ein Boot gemietet und nach circa 50 Minuten ist der Motor ausgegangen. Auf WhatsApp-Nachrichten keine Reaktion der Vermieter, weshalb wir das Boot wieder zurück ziehen mussten. Wären wir nicht schon auf dem Rückweg gewesen, hätte es wohl ewig gedauert, so mussten wir nur 1 Stunde ziehen. Sehr schlechter Kundenservice und nicht aufgeladenes Boot. Vorher war alles gut, aber das Boot wurde wohl nicht aufgeladen vermietet.Posted on Revital ZaharoniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. השכרת סירות בחיטהורן. מקום יפה, מבחר סירות בכל הגדלים. הכל נעשה באופן עצמאי אין עובדים במקום. קצת התקשנו בהפעלה. חוויה טובה וכיפית, משיטים את הסירה לבד. מקום מדהים ויפה.Posted on Miranda ReitsemaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Freundlich, saubere Boote, unkompliziert. Absolut empfehlenswertPosted on Pepijn AertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Goede prijs , goed geregeld en erg leuke activiteit met kinderenPosted on Reem SafadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. De reis was prachtig en we hebben genoten van de pracht en praal van de plek. Het is een prachtig gebied. De kapitein van de boot was een aardige en rustige man. Ik ga de reis volgend jaar zeker nog een keer maken. Heel erg bedankt voor deze prachtige ervaring.
