“When we arrived at our rented house, it turned out that it had not been cleaned. There was dirt on the floor, dog hair on the TV cabinet and a long hair in the sink. Furthermore, extra costs were charged on site for our dogs that were not mentioned on the site and there was no reception while the site promised wifi. After contacting them, they would immediately contact the landlord and call us back. There we were, on the side of a forest where we had driven to and finally found reception. We waited there for an hour for the phone call. We could not return to the house because we had no reception there. After waiting for 2 hours, I called back myself. Then I was told that the offices were closed and that we had to try again the next day. (This was the emergency service!) Then we finally decided to return home, since the situation had not been resolved. I had to call back myself the next day, where I was told that they had not yet received a response from the landlord. I called every day of the week for an update because calling back myself after multiple promises was apparently too difficult. In the end we did not get our money back. The landlord refused this, he did not think it was sufficient reason to cancel! When I rent a house I expect it to be cleaned, I think that is no more than normal! Furthermore, I would definitely like to be notified of any additional costs charged. Worst holiday experience ever. I would not recommend Belvilla to anyone. If you would like to rent a house with dogs allowed, I would like to refer you to dogsincluded.”

“The area where the house is located is beautiful. The house itself is small and is divided into 2, there are people living next to and in the house. We found the privacy less because people walked past the kitchen to the house. The TV did not work, and no hot water in the kitchen, this was reported but not resolved. Also, the living room was not really cleaned properly. The owner does not respond to email and WhatsApp messages. Nice experience but we found the price too high for what it was.”

“House is bang up against owner's house. Marginal drunk. Feeling unsafe. Never again!”

“Beautiful surroundings with a forest nearby to walk our two dogs. Although dogs are allowed, it was not mentioned that there were also two goats running free and a house cat, which our 1-year-old adolescent dog went completely wild about, because the terrain is not fenced we could not let them go. The owner's son apparently lives right next to the holiday home (the front door is directly opposite) and also a friend of his in the holiday home, in a separate living area where the stairs go up, this person was traveling. We found this out upon arrival because we had spoken to the son when he came home from work in the evening, he was friendly, before that there was no personal reception, only a paper on the window from Mrs. Dubois, that the gîte is open with the key on the inside. The house was pleasant, clean and tidy. It is wonderful to stay in the garden, we were allowed to be everywhere, we had privacy because the son's terrace is located on the other side of the other house. But on our last day of our stay, we were reading a book in the garden and the son suddenly started mowing the lawn on his day off (Thursday), with a lot of noise, without notifying us. We were sitting in that grass that had to be mowed. Then we went for a walk in the forest because we found this unpleasant, this was a heavy damper on our mood, we had booked this stay to find peace. After an hour and a half we came back and he was still busy, then my friend spoke to him kindly but correctly about this. He reluctantly stopped, after that he was in a bad mood for the rest of our stay, he could not say hello anymore. Too bad, because the surroundings were beautiful and the stay would have been ideal without goats and cat that our dogs went wild about and son who disturbed the peace for us, on our last day.”

“A wonderful stay in the forests of the Ardennes. Beautiful hiking trails!”

“We enjoyed our stay with our dogs. Very cozy, in the middle of the woods. You can go for a lovely walk/hike. Very friendly owners. Owner living speaks French, English and a little Dutch. The goats greeted us cheerfully at the house in the morning. Don"t take good hygiene into account. (This might be a point of attention and replacement of the sofa. Maybe leather for maintenance and hygiene). We brought our own couch blankets and bedding. It was fine. During the day you can go into the woods and in the evening you can all snuggle up by the fire. For us absolutely come back again! Thanks for the hospitality, kind regards 😄🐾👍🏻”

“When we arrived we had to look for the owner, rather call from his home. The man finally came from his room, barely saying hello, and let us into the house. Without a single word of explanation he said voila, cest ca. And he was gone. No explanation, nothing. When I informed him that we could not drive to the driveway due to the snow, he said, 'Cest pas mon probleme monsieur'. Uhhh??? We didn't let it bother us and made our plan, but we soon discovered that the pots, cupboards, etc. were simply filthy. A cupboard still full of mold, it was really gone. The bath mat with stains, an underlay with burn marks, microwave with spaghetti remains. Anyway. Twas about it. The house is really beautifully situated, and luxury is not necessary for us, so we made the best of it. The reception was really bad, never experienced that before. Hygiene terrible, but .. the charm of the house and the snow made it a special experience.”

“It is a nice authentic house with a lot of potential. Nevertheless, the interieur really needs an upgrade. It also wasn't really clean. But we made the best out of it, because the surroundings are beautiful. From the house you can make beautiful hikes and by car there are many nice villages nearby.”

“The house was very unsanitary. Beds, mattresses, etc. very dirty. Bathroom full of mold. Pans and stuff the same”

“The cottage itself is very cozy and cozy in a beautiful setting. However, the bathroom was black with mold. Also the heating kept going out. Owner has tried to do something about it but that didn't work very well Thanks to the fireplace we had some heat, but in the early morning it was freezing cold. The boiler also regularly went out. Strangely enough, the owner's house was nice and warm. As a result, the story of malfunction or water in the diesel boiler came across as very implausible. We will therefore no longer book this house”

“On arrival we had expected a word of explanation and the hygiene inside was not everything (dog hair on the floor, dust web here and there), but in terms of location it was top. We were quickly at our hiking trails that we liked to do. Good for a few nights”

“Nice place right on the forest with beautiful hiking trails. It is fine for 2 people. I wouldn't do much more. The stairs to the top are a bit treacherous and the bed was a bit on the tight side for someone of 1.90 mtr, but of good quality. All amenities were there and even some kids on site. Definitely a place to recommend if you are not very spoiled for luxury.”

“Super quiet environment with a very accommodating host. You take small ailments with you! Top stay to relax. Worthy of recommendation.”

“Very quiet location in wooded area. Comfortable and well equipped. Really perfect to relax for the weekend.”

“Great house for winter and late autumn. It seems less pleasant for the summer period because you have little privacy outside. Owner lives right next to the holiday home.”

“A nice and cute house where you can spend the night with 4 people. Everything is just old and and sometimes in a bad state of repair. Now that is usually not so bad, but unfortunately it is actually not really clean. We only washed cutlery and plates before use, and there are stains in the sofa and even the curtains. The dining table and chairs simply need to be replaced and are actually not satisfactory. Furthermore, the location is great, you can park well and there is plenty of beautiful nature in the area for walking. It is also nice that the house can be warmed up quickly. Not unimportant in the fall and winter. I myself will not book this house again if it does not get the attention of the owner that it needs.”

“Quite pleasant, but due to the bad weather we left early: no disaster tourism for us!”

“cozy house and beautiful garden. Too bad that the shower tap could not be regulated in terms of temperature.”

“Quiet wooded area, many walking routes with nice hidden seats. Seen a lot of wildlife. House is nice and cozy”

“Very restful stay, situation of the very calm and inspiring lodging. Lots of possibilities to undertake visits in the allontours”

“Cozy holiday home in a very quiet and beautiful location. Ideal for a small family. Spacious garden and close to beautiful walks”
