Bruges Homestays

One of the worst lodging experiences out of the hundreds of trips I’ve taken. The story begins with me mistakenly booking for august 11-13, 2023 instead of the intended dates of august 12-14, 2023. So, I made an additional reservation for august 13-14, 2023, to stay as planned. Both reservations were fully prepaid on agoda.com (€199 for the first 2 days and €108 for the third day). Upon checking in on august 12, 2023, I was informed that the 'paid-for' room was already occupied by someone else, and I was not allowed to use it. Their reason was that I didn't check in on august 11, 2023. The hotel voluntarily cancelled my reservation and ”gave the room away” to someone else on august 12-13, 2023, WITHOUT ANY CONSENT from me or ANY PRIOR NOTICE. It's a ridiculous joke. I am renting a room, not participating in horse racing or any kind of ******** like that. I'm i don't need to arrive earlier than others to use the room I’ve paid for, right? Even the front desk staff mentioned there was nothing they could do at the time and offered no assistance or resolution for the situation. I struggled to find a hotel on the same day and had to pay a substantial fee for last-minute accommodation in Bruges, while the room I paid for is being rented by the hotel to someone else. As for the second reservation on august 13, 2023, the hotel's conditions were just as terrible as their treatment of customers. There was no nightstand as pictured, not even a single clothes hanger, the room was too hot to close the door in august (no air conditioning or fan), and the noise was unbearable with constant disturbances from the adjacent room's door and footsteps in the corridor. A 'wonderful' experience for a night's stay here, priced at €307. Congratulations, you're certainly running a splendid business. P/s: Bruges is a beautiful city but this hostel is a SHAME.

This is one of the best guest houses we’ve stayed in. If I could give it 11/10 I would. From the moment we booked the room Michael was in constant communication with us, advising on parking and places to eat. Excellent advice given about where to go in Bruges and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was upgraded on check in to a suite which was simply stunning. Entry to your room and the main entrance was by way of digits from your mobile number into a keypad which was very innovative, no key to worry about. The breakfast was exceptional, all freshly prepared and plenty of it. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The property is very central and only a few minutes walk to all the main points of interest. Staying at Huis t’ Schaep has made our trip to Bruges even more special. We will definitely return.

I'm disappointed to write this review as I had been excited to stay here after reading all the others. The B&B is beautiful, with very comfortable beds, maintained to a high standard, and very quite despite a convenient, central location. However, we expected a more personal experience from a B&B, whereas this felt more like a part-time staffed hotel. For us, it was not worth the money paid. I would have provided the following feedback in person or directly, but we were not once asked during our stay, or at check out, or since, how our stay here was. This is particularly disappointing in itself. - We had an issue on arrival with payment confusion. I was rushed into paying with not even time to put shoes on to come downstairs to do so. I had no time to phone my bank or check past statements to confirm I hadn't paid. I offered to pay the next morning which was refused, and subsequently frustrating to see other groups pay the morning after their stay. If there was a reason we couldn't pay the morning after, this was not made clear and made for a bad and stressful start to the holiday having travelled for several hours to reach Bruges. - Breakfast quality varied day-by-day depending on the person serving, we weren't sure what we were meant to expect. For example, one day we had to ask the woman who was working for eggs, on another the man promptly offered eggs/champagne as we sat down. Working on consistency would be great. - The B&B is not always staffed, which is fine. However, when we checked in we were not told how to get in touch with anyone if we had an issue during these unstaffed times. Perhaps the payment issue distracted the host? This information wasn't displayed e.g. in the room or on the back of the front door. - Personal recommendations are what add to the B&B experience. Even telling us 'There's a market in the square tomorrow' would have added to this experience, or telling us 'This place is great for coffee' or 'Get to the Belfry before 10am to beat the queue'. Even just checking in and asking people at breakfast what they were planning for the day etc.These insights are invaluable and would have been a great asset from the hosts. - The day we left, the staff did not seem to know we were checking out. We had to tell them. There were two staff members there when we left, neither asked how our stay had been, they just took the key back from us and that was it. This is far below what I would expect from even a budget hotel, let alone such a highly reviewed place. I'm happy to discuss any of these directly with the B&B.
