Flying Pig Beach Hostel Reviews from the WebHostelz.com Guest Reviews
Good people, good times talk about balance! i found this place to be ideal as a traveler. with the chilled out, laid back atmosphere i spent over a week there recouping from some of my travels. that's not to say that it's all mellow cause literally when the sun goes down, the party is just waiting to get started! the staff are friendly, helpful, and fun and the shuttle service makes it easy to get around. i stayed over christmas and new years and for my first christmas away from home it was pretty great! the staff made a huge traditional dutch brunch where we gorged until we could eat no more. the parties in the evening were full of laughs, games, and good times! i will be going back, and recommend it to others to check out! — katie , canadian (2009-01-19) Nice, but staff needs improvement Disorganized and easily distracted staff (except for one shuttle driver who seemed to be the only one who knew what was going on). Cramped dorm rooms. No ladder for the rickety top bunks. Shuttle to Amsterdam that was advertised as "free" was not, unless you were arriving or leaving the hostel, but it was still cheaper and faster than public transport. Nice location close to the beach but not a practical distance for day trips to Amsterdam. — Jen & Karen , Canadian (2007-08-25) this hostel is awesome, and if you like the beach its even better. Twenty-person room is huge and a lot better than some four-person rooms you might stay in. owner is friendly, staff are good, whole place is relaxed and chilled out. free party shots at nine p.m., free internet, supermarket five minute walk away. There's a free shuttle bus between here and the other Flying Pig Hostels, so if Amsterdam is doing your head in, definitely come here. and if it isnt, come here anyway. Beach is one of best in Western Europe, wide and sandy, a lot like east coast Australian beaches. — MK (2006-07-24) I had the best time at this hostel. After the craziness of Amsterdam, this place was the ultimate place to chill. It was really clean and the staff were awesome. I felt part of the team as soon as I arrived, and the parties were crazy! It was definitely a good end to my travels. Thanks for the memories; the beach rocks!!! — Anonymous (2004-10-08) The hostel itself was pretty cool, but I don't think I've ever met a more incompetent staff. They screwed us out of beds and money every one of our three nights there, each time blaming each other for the mistake and making a big hassle. One night a staff member staying in my room got so drunk she threw up all over her bed and the shower. Another night a guy in my room pissed all over two beds in the room. Stuff like this tends to ruin a guy's experience, y'know? — West (2004-07-27) This place has a laid-back atmosphere and is a place to relax and meet people. It is in a great location if you come in the summer--the beach is a five-minute walk away. However, I found it to be quite dirty, and they made a mistake with our reservation and gave our beds to someone else. — Isabelle (2004-07-01) I had my best times in Holland at this hostel. I stayed my first three nights there, and after a week in Amsterdam had to make an unplanned trip back because of the laid back atmosphere and the great people I met there. I highly recommend it for anybody that just wants to relax and meet some friendly people. — Hamil Brown (2003-11-02) I had the best time and was accommodated very well. They provided transportation which helped my travel tremendously. — Kimberly Geis (2003-09-07)
