Traveller's reviews and ratings
The staff is very little emmable you been a clients and nothing else when you are young.
False advertising, more than 45 min in transport.
There is a place or one little if pause if restore but no place for this restore.
It just buy food but the choice is very limited and it is expensive (ex: wand industrial = 1.80) otherwise the premises for his own health.
different means of transport are our available: bikes has rent her a bus available is just has the entered the campsite the Metro is very well indicated, it it about 30 min walk and is very quick to go to the centre of Amsterdam.

campeggio spettacolare ma troppo remote dal centro di amsterdam.
He contesto in cui è inserito è molto tranquillo, it personale è disponibile my the distanza da amsterdam è notevole, tuttavia non mancano i collegamenti con it con centro varies combinazioni di mezzi pubblici... spostare

It is true that this hostel is about 45 minutes by bus away from the city, but very well served, the framework is sympathetic (many rabbits in the area!), the rooms are small sheds with a mini-terrace, which has key has arrived, it is at home!
Showers cost 1 euro 6 minutes, that's enough!
For students, it's perfect!
By Dodo | The 07-18-2011
Perfect accommodation for a group of bikers.Pretty safe parking and a short walk from the train to central station.
By Terry | The 07-05-2011
Good home. Speaks French.
Common local (kitchen and dining room) well equipped. Damage that some users do respect step the rule that each cleans and range used dishes.
Pleasant environment, access to the centre of Amsterdam bike (9 km) by the wood of Amsterdam, suitable even for children of 9/10 years. Not very uncomfortable proximity to the airport.
By Roger | The 05-11-2011
Sympathetic home and correct proximity to the centre.
However health to review clean and smell of cold tobacco in the unbearable cottage (3 days to aerate about).
By yasmine | The 05-04-2011
The airport of Amsterdam located close to the camping, with the wind may take that aircraft off above the camping approximately every 15 minutes as it happened in a night and a morning during our stay. Sanitary are not always at the top of cleanliness but in all providing affordable rest (54 euros for a night 4) financially and the Metro station is 20 minutes to 5 minutes by car and foot (can be parking there without problem).

这家旅店离机场倒是很近,但是离一些景点都太远了!一分钱一分货,这样价格的旅店这种条件就算可以了。旅店的环境还是不错的。

Very cold and too expensive to pay for the heater €5 per night! but in general it's a nice place
By Sebastian | The 10-12-2010
The staff is friendly and warm. The cabins are clean and well prepared. In the camping space is pleasant with greenery. Large black point due to campers is the cleanliness of sanitary (shower and wc) despite a tremendous job of staff remaining sales. But this is the first time that I went in this camping and on my next stay this is that I return.
