It’s a pity. The restaurant is attractive and the food is rather good.

But we waited almost
two hours to get the dinner on our table, which completely spoiled my mother-in-law’s 88th birthday party. After a very slow coffee and dessert, the whole thing took more than three hours.

This was an expensive dinner at a nice restaurant. We expected something much better!

Worse still, the restaurant staff and owner simply didn’t seem to understand what the problem was. They work at their own pace and at their leisurely convenience. They blame the customers when the kitchen staff is busy. It’s bizarre. And never a real apology.

Despite our complaints, it didn’t even occur to them to make a concession or apology when the bill came.

This was terrible service with a smile.

I would not go back.

We stayed here for a night and the surprise menu. About the hotel, clean, rooms big enough with a good bathroom. The environment very quite, Muggenbeet is located basically in a National Park.
The restaurant served a perfect diner, enough surprises and well served. The staff without any exception friendly and services minded.
An absolutely recommended place to stay!

Probably the very first hotel were we really checked in totally hazzle free. No papers to fill in, no credit card registration the staff was so friendly and made you feel at home as if for your stay you felt part of the neighbourhood.
The rooms are well equiped and very clean.

The pub as entertaining, friendly waiters that make the your stay not like one of this touristic spots in Giethoorn. The food was outstanding and the home signature dish muggebeet appetizer is a real treat.

Only a few km from the city center of giethoorn along the water in a very rustic and peacfull street. For international travellers the only downside is that you need a car to get there.

We would go back anytime.
