Flatlanders

Ranking: 7/10

This review is mostly about the hut:
+ Warm welcome from the host
+ Nice campspots for people with tents
+ The walk up...with all your stuff
+ Plenty of room for canoes
+ Big kitchen with gasstove
+ Everyone seems friendly and helpfull
+ The (printscreen) reservationcode on our phone was enough proof for our late booking
- Bad ventilation considering the amount of sleepers
- Toilet-amonia-smell was breathtaking and not in a good way
+/- Bring earplugs, some people snore ;)
