De Panne Large Family Stay

Very cozy. Everyone has their own room. The shower or bath is very clean, and the water is nice and hot. A recommended stay for a large family

In the description we saw the place was outdated. That as such is not an issue if it is clean, well maintained and safe. The reality is different. A lot of unsafe conditions. On the backside broken roofpanels (asbestos?) laying partly above an open cellar opening, which is very unsafe for children. The contact person said it was not the intention that people come in that area... Around the house there are many loose cables, some are even preventing you of closing a window (front). Those loose cables are also unsafe towards children. Many showers in the rooms did not function or functioned so badly they were unusable (too hot/too cold/no water at all). The worst issue was a rat on the first floor (seen by at least 5 people - the contactperson said it is impossible but the rat was definitely there). In the kitchen we found mouse feces. All in all, we don't understand that this kind of houses can still be rented out. Isn't there any kind of safety and hygiene checks?

The location is wonderful and we chose the house because there were plenty of rooms and bathrooms. When we stayed there, however, there was no hot water on the second floor. We reported this, but little could be done about it. The kitchen is an old professional kitchen and it takes some getting used to before you can work with it. A manual for the devices would be useful. There was also little kitchen equipment. Plenty of refrigerator space and plenty of gas basins. The rooms are large, each with its own bathroom. There are old windows everywhere, so in those on the street side you can hear the coastal tram very loudly. There are different sizes of beds and duvets and you have to inquire about the size yourself. The whole house could use a makeover. The parking is convenient, as is the play veranda. The living room is cozy.
