Hotel De Walvisvaarder Terschelling Reviews

Very nice hotel. Neat room, very friendly staff and a delicious breakfast.

Great hotel. Nice rooms. Friendly staff. Good bikes too! For people who are less agile, it is a little less and taking a bath is less.

Wonderfully cared for here. Welcoming, spacious room, renting bicycles ready in the basement, buffet, lots of choice and delicious.

A wonderful place to rest on Terschelling atmospheric hotel with beautiful garden apartments fantastic food and extremely friendly staff recommended

I feel welcome here for almost 15 years. Hope to come for many more years. And to enjoy all the lovely hard working staff. What makes the guest feel bad

Great in a word. Incredibly nice staff. Hotel looks beautiful with old and new merging nicely. Food is simple but delicious. Is very centrally located on Terschelling so you can make wonderful trips on great bikes.

Wonderful stay at this hotel. Attention to the guests and beautiful rooms.

Beautiful and very personal.
The reception was very warm. Our room, a garden suite on the floor, was very large: cozy living room and a very spacious bedroom with a nice bed. Bathroom and separate toilet. Large balcony. Delicious food, excellent cuisine, absolutely worth your while. Because of corona rules, breakfast was served at a table instead of a buffet. But this was also arranged down to the last detail. This hotel has mastered the profession!

Location and room were perfect, even though priced high.

We were welcomed and the salad bar during dinner was delicious.

Cozy family hotel.
Neat rooms.
With a delicious full breakfast.

What a great hotel, with very friendly staff, grandiose breakfast buffet, delicious dinners and clean rooms.
Very tastefully decorated, with a beautiful fireplace.
The terraces are also very well cared for.

Very welcoming and polite, neat hotel rooms, breakfast times are a bit early and tight, breakfast selection is reasonable, value for money is good.

Nice and good Hotel. We had the luxury room, where I had to look for the luxury anyway. For the rest, a great room.

You will be warmly received.
There is only a daily menu.
Alls looks well cared for.
The service is excellent.
Bicycles and electric bicycles are rented out.

Delicious food here. Besides the menu they also have daily menus and specials 1 of the specials this time was a sweet tomato soup that was really great! The mains, sea bass and cod, were also really perfectly prepared. Unlike the other restaurants we have been to, they had the Scelling beers available here :)

Top place to be, now with the sun and nice lounging on the new terrace

We were here out of peak season (September). Still busy in the hotel, a bit older crowd. In my opinion the decor of the hotel and our room is somewhat outdated .. not necessarily my taste. You can see that they are working on a 'new' style (combination of new furniture, vintage and riviera maison-like frills)
We expected breakfast a bit more after reading reviews, but that was a bit disappointing in our eyes (compared to the reviews). It was tasty but simple.

Nice location in relation to other villages and wonderfully quiet and quiet. Great that you can use the bicycles (with safe underground bicycle shed) and wellness. Book the latter against payment and on time!

Very hospitable and friendly. Clean rooms. Excellent breakfast, also gluten free.

Fantastic place by the fireplace. Friendly, committed and fun service. The point of improvement is the wine, which I personally don't like to drink. Beer offer is fortunately good.

Stylish hotel, nice breakfast and a cozy room. Dinner at the hotel is also recommended!

Just a stop for a snack. Nice reception and pleasant terrace. We did not try the hotel.

Very nice, we only had a drink after we had our eco safari (also recommended). But we will definitely come back to this hotel.

Neat hotel.
Smooth service
Modest dinner menu (could be more extensive)
Bicycle shed that is too full (own bicycle difficult to park)

An absolute must. Very friendly service, who are well attuned to each other. After many nights on Terschelling, this is the best we have had. Restaurant is very good, but somewhat small menu.

The location is perfect, as it is in the centre of the island Terschelling. The rooms are very organised and spatious, and the cleaners do a good job of keeping everything clean. The food service is unusual, but I believe that ot's a great way of tackling dinner. By having a set dinner rotation of a few weeks, the people will eat something different every day ansthe food will be served very quickly, but it will still be of great quality. The workers are very friendly and very approachable. I am very happy with the accomodation and I can say with confidence that I'd suggest this hotel to everyone.

Super hospitable, pleasant and friendly staff. Good and varied breakfast. Dinner fine. Rooms clean everything is there, our room deserved some technical attention.

Nice room, good bed, bathroom with bathtub. The location is super, beautiful in the middle.

Friendly staff, good breakfast and pretty good rooms, though that may vary a little from cosy to large and great location to OK. Still, location on the island is perfect with a good selection of restaurants within 15 minutes by bike. Great bartender!

It was, as always, great again !!! Delicious food (feather for the cook for our vegetarian meals) !!!

Only had a drink in the restaurant. Very cozy and super friendly service.

A great facility with great comfort and very very nice staff. Simply great

Wonderful hotel, good stay. Definitely worth repeating (we have been coming here for 2 years as a family and the kids love it here)

Update 2 years later: New Year's Eve celebrated here, still a fantastic cozy place with a good atmosphere. There is a top team behind it.

Surprisingly large but cozy hotel! Bonus points for the wide selection of whiskeys and the living room / fire pit

Very nice accommodation centrally on Terschelling. Clean rooms decent restaurant good breakfast.

Very nice hotel with a very friendly and helpful staff

Lovely hotel for a weekend break, centrally located on the island, with easy access to both east and west. You can easily store your electric bicycle in the bicycle cellar where it can be charged. And a cozy restaurant.

Delicious snacks with a glass of wine and very friendly staff.

This is a cozy family hotel with very friendly staff. The breakfast buffet is extensive, as is the salad and tapas bar for dinner.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the beds pleasant. The bathroom with bath / shower is very practical.
There is a good, covered bicycle shed.
Highly recommended!

Very nice place to relax.
In the middle of the island
Cheerful and friendly staff
Good breakfast
Clean rooms
Bicycle rental at the hotel

We have only eaten in this completely renovated hotel / restaurant.
The building and furnishings are very beautiful and well maintained. Staff friendly, some very cheerful. Great service.
For our quiet dog we got a table with extra space underneath.

The menu is unusual but very accessible. A mistake with the dessert was nicely resolved ("Mmm, then we have some goodies!") And the correct order was delivered quickly.
This restaurant is a must. Make sure to reserve in time.
We saw a beautiful sunset on the way back. We got it for free.

A good hotel, but not for people with walking difficulties. Thresholds in corridors, steps up and down, stairs (no passenger lift). Shower in bathtub. Very good beds, good breakfast (but not very special). Location in a village where there is hardly anything else to do. Good starting point for cycling tours.

Super hotel! Highly recommended. Also nice people who work there.

Cozy room, bubble bath, front looks like a horse stable. Spacious. Soft bed. Breakfast is extensive

Location super nice staff good reception. Room is very good total picture top.

What a great hotel. Good rooms. The garden suite was absolutely beautiful. Lovely bed! Breakfast is a feast. What abundance. Dinner was delicious. So nice eaten there every night. The "dining room" is a large, warm, beautifully decorated living room. At the bar you can relax around the fireplace.

And let yourself be pampered with a massage or treatment in the salon.

What a valid vacation this was. And we have already booked again for this year.

Friendly staff mostly cozy ambiance our room was small and warm

Delicious eaten become so beautiful and surprisingly tasty

It has been and remains the place to be for 40 years.

Very hospitable hotel. Nice also with children in the family room
