In particular, the damp smell in the house and that it was so old makes it a 5 ----------------------------------------- Response from landlord: If guests do not adhere to the waste segregation discussed in person and keep all waste in a large garbage bag in the log cabin for days at a time, stench in the house is inevitable. We had to remove the garbage bag from the residual waste bin after the guests left, because it was full due to the non-separated waste, and separate the waste into compost, paper, packaging, panty liners and chicken feed (meat, food). Especially in summer, the trees above the house provide a pleasantly cool indoor climate, which is supported by the air conditioning system with air defroster in humid rainy weather. Upon departure, the indoor temperature was 14 degrees (uninhabitable at outdoor temperatures of 7 - 12 degrees), because the heaters were not used during the entire stay, which certainly does not provide a pleasant living environment.
Met name de vochtige geur in de woning en dat het zo oud was maakt het een 5

Reactie verhuurder:
Als de gasten zich niet houden aan de persoonlijk besproken afvalscheiding en al het afval dagenlang in een grote vuilniszak in de blokhut bewaren, is stank in het huis onvermijdelijk. Wij hebben na het vertrek van de gasten de vuilniszak uit de restafvalbak moeten halen, omdat deze vol zat door het niet gescheiden afval, en het afval moeten scheiden in compost, papier, verpakkingen, inlegkruisjes en kippenvoer (vlees, voedsel). Vooral in de zomer zorgen de bomen boven het huis voor een aangenaam koel binnenklimaat, dat wordt ondersteund door het airconditioningsysteem met luchtontdooier bij vochtig regenachtig weer. Bij vertrek was de binnentemperatuur 14 graden (onbewoonbaar bij buitentemperaturen van 7 - 12 graden), omdat de kachels tijdens het hele verblijf niet zijn gebruikt, wat zeker geen aangenaam leefklimaat oplevert.It was a nice place , close to forest and water. The cottage itself was very outdated, dark because of the many trees. Also, the house was very stuffy, it took days before it became a little fresh in the house again, despite the doors were open a lot.
Het was een mooi plekje , dichtbij bos en water. Het huisje was zelf erg verouderd, donker door de vele bomen. Ook was het huis erg bedompt, het heeft dagen geduurd voordat het weer wat fris werd in de woning, ondanks dat de deuren veel open stonden.

Dark, and no place to sit in the sun.
Donker, en geen plaats om lekker in de zon te zitten.
In itself beautiful cottage. Problem for us was the fact that it was very dark. You have to have lights on in the living room and kitchen.
Op zich mooi huisje. Probleem voor ons was het feit dat het erg donker was. Je moet in de huiskamer en keuken het licht aan hebben.
