Edit: replying to 'why 1 star?'<br>Because I cannot give a 0 star.<br>I had reserved (one of the last few remaining slots) a 6 person boat for a 12:30pm slot and had arrived at the dock at 12:15pm (as the reservation mentioned not to be late and also to install a stupid navigation app to have a preference at being attended). It was a fairly busy day and the place was managed by an arrogant idiot(probably the owner or an employee) and two boys<br>The guy was accepting people in without a reservation for cash payment (cash only which makes you think about tax evasion but that's not my business I guess). Anyway, I was asked to wait at the back of a very long line (with no priority for reservations) which was mostly people without reservation (believe me because I asked around).<br>There was another group in front of me who also made a reservation and inquired with the guy when they can expect their boat (as it was an 8 person boat) to which he answered "I cannot say abracadabra and conjure up a boat. It'll come when it comes." But all of us waited in line for an hour and a half at which point I asked him what I should do and he said come back at a later time so that there wouldn't be so many people.<br>I trusted this guy and came back at 3:15 pm and still there was a long queue (but relatively shorter). So I approached the guy again to which he again asked me to wait at the back of the line. By this time there were people in the queue with reservations at 3:30pm and 3:45 pm. With every incoming boat I asked whether I can have it but the others were allowed to board the boat. At this point he shouted from the other side of the dock saying "every time you complain you go one step back in the line". I asked him to refund my money which he happily obliged and said "give me a negative review man, I don't care". So here is your well earned review man, enjoy.<br>I understand that it was a fairly busy day and that the guy was trying to make a few extra bucks (not just a few though) but reservations should have a priority or at least a preference. I was never angry at him nor was a complaining the whole time. I did inquire a few times (which I believe is not a crime) but never complained or never in an unfriendly tone. He could have easily given me a boat at the right time or even at the second time but he deliberately chose not to because he has a 1000 other customers. He had nothing to lose. On the other hand I lost a good vacation with my friends who visited from Finland and an additional 70euro since my car rental went beyond booking end time because of a cocky idiot whose ego I somehow hurt.<br>I know my review doesn't matter and that's why I did not leave a comment at first but hey since you asked for it, here you go! Enjoy and have a beautiful day. Hope your business flourishes even more. |

Not the best experience. We were two people on a boat, which got stuck in the middle of the lake for half an hour, due to engine problems, and when we tried to reach the rental company, their phone directly went to voicemail. Poor service, poor prices (there are companies which provide better boats for lesser amount), and overall frightening experience. They did exchange our boat once we were able to get back with the help of a kind local, but the indifferent attitude was icing on the cake :/ |

This is NOT the official village of Giethoorn – it’s a private boat rental company misusing the name.<br><br>Be careful — this location is not the actual village, but a business using the name "Giethoorn Village" to appear official or trusted, which is incredibly misleading to tourists.<br><br>They run a boat rental company, not an information center or village facility. I made a booking through their website, thinking it was an official Giethoorn resource, only to find myself dealing with misleading information, hidden pickup locations, rude behavior, and even verbal abuse. They clearly rely on tourist confusion to grab more customers.<br><br>If you're visiting Giethoorn, do not book anything through this location or website. Use verified, well-reviewed rental companies instead. This place damages the reputation of a beautiful village. |

Definitely a place that I would suggest to visit. Its worth with friends and family. Renting a boat is the 'norm'. You will be provided with a map. Most of the boats does not require a license. You take the trip through the narrow canals, enjoy the beautiful landscape, shops, restaurants and then end up into a wide open lake like water body. Once you are there make sure to get out through the water path market with number 5. There is from 1 to 5. You will be getting into the lake through one of those. All other numbers other than 5 will end up in the same path in one direction towards the lake itself. |

Bootreis was super. Rondje van 12.00 tot 13.30 gemaakt en was prima te doen. Daarna een gekkenhuis aan bootjes en geen doorkomen aan.<br><br>De net iets te dikke vermoedelijke eigenaar stond in het bijzijn van de toeristen zijn 3 jonge personeelsleden van een jaar of 15 continu uit te kafferen.<br>Toen we na een uurtje de boot in konden zei een van die keurige kinderen dat hij dit altijd doet. Zoek een andere baan want zo aangesproken worden verdient niemand. Wat een hork! |

We hebben 2 uur gewacht op een bootje. Vervolgens niet kunnen varen. De eigenaar was onvriendelijk. En liet ons met opzet staat. Met veel moeite ons geld terug gekregen. Tevens was het eten en drinken duur. Geen aanrader. Gelukkig zijn er genoeg andere verhuren. Hier gaan we nooit weer heen.<br><br>Reactie op het bericht van de eigenaar:<br><br>Wat u hier vertelt is 1 groot leugen. Het enigste wat wij bij u hebben gedronken is een ice tea green en een blikje energie drank. Die wij tevens bij u hebben gehaald. Wat tevens aan de dure kant was. (Wat ik hierboven ook had vermeld) We hebben geen enkele vorm van alcohol genuttigd. Het is gewoon triest dat u ons vals beschuldigd. Omdat u niet tegen een oprechte opmerking kan. |

Mijn zoon en zijn maat zouden even een leuk uurtje varen , ruim aantal dagen van te voren gereserveerd om 12:00 zouden ze bootje krijgen echter bij aankomst waren alle boten verhuurd . Na ruim een uur nog geen bootje . Dus terecht een slechte review voor dit bedrijf van de jongens , het antwoord van de eigenaar ziet U in hun rivieuws.<br>Als je een bootje reserveert dan moet er ook eentje beschikbaar zijn als je er bent<br>En de jongens waren ruim op tijd .<br>Dus dit is echt zoiets van massa is kassa<br>De de gereserveerde klanten in de kou laten staan<br>Kijk vooral eens bij de reviews van<br>Rick Dijkstra & Wieger Bijlsma<br>De jongens hadden geen bier bij hun , sterker nog mijn zoon lust geen eens bier .<br>Dus eigenaar van Giethoorn Village , dit is een héél slecht antwoord , dit alleen maar om je eigen slechte reviews goed te praten ,<br>Dit leverd je echter nog een slechte review op ....<br>M.v.g.

This review is not about the scenic beauty of Giethoorn but the owner of this boat tour business. I had a very bad experience with renting a boat from this owner. First of all we booked one of the high paid boat, he asked us the wait time of 20 minute which turned 2 hours. When asked about time, he said everyone is waiting so why to complain. I had a small kid with me and it was one of the scorching sunny day. Till the time we got boat, we got exhausted. So really owner need to improve his sales tricks. |

This is a somewhat shady business masquerading as official "GietHoorn Village" due to its name and business website. The problem is the real village is further down and unsuspecting people use this as direction due to the unfortunate name and end up walking long way from the main road to literally in the middle of nowhere as this business way outside of the main activity.<br><br>The second problem is this place is not a completely honest business. It is way overpriced compared to other businesses in the main area further down (but you wouldn't know on first visit and hopefully only one given the disappointment of this attraction itself) and takes advantage of unsuspecting visitors and seems to lie about boat availability to rent higher priced boats (even within minutes contradicting himself) about some (lower priced) boats not being charged.<br><br>If you are using Google maps to visit here, skip the last instruction about getting off bus 70 and walking for 22 mins and continue on in bus 70 to a somewhat more sensible location further down. Even better, just cut the visit to this fake "village" altogether and go and do something better in the city on your Amsterdam visit. It is just not worth it. |

Terrible service! They promised a 30-minute wait, but we've been here over 1.5 hours. The boss was rude and dismissive, yelling, "Don't waste my energy!" when we asked for an explanation. The management is awful, and the staff refused to apologize or offer any explanation. |

Very rude service. We made an online reservation at 17.30, and we wanted more than an hour to get a boat. When we ask for explanations we were made fun of. There was only one adult person responsible for the boats and two kids. Instead of excuses the boatman was very rude. |

We rented a boat with Giethoorn village, in spite of high prices for the boat they have pathetic services.<br>Just after 30mins of boat riding we were stuck due to high rains and we kept on calling the boat rental(Giethoorn village) but no one picked the call.<br>After struggling for 3hrs in the middle of the lake with rain, high wind we had to call the police for help eventually they redirected us to boat rental. Despite knowing the situation we are in, the owner did not even care to help us instead kept on saying we will come in a while and he finally said we are busy right now and cannot locate your boat eventually disconnected the call(all the boats will have GPS enabled).<br>Being helpless in middle of the lake for about 4hrs, we called 112(emergency) and they immediately located us reached us within 15mins.<br>When we reached the boat rental along with the emergency squad, he is behaving rude and almost shouting on us. Since we were not in a state to argue further we demanded our refund and left the place.<br>Please make sure to enquire about all these details before considering them.<br>This is one of the worst experience I have had in my entire life.<br>I highly recommend no one to consider them where they do not know value of a life and interact with fellow human.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Kavya |

It's a bit funny experience. We were on time, but all parking lots were full, and no available boat yet for us ( which is ok, it's busy due to nice weather).we were under impression we can park as stated on the business website.we had to wait for owner as he was chatting with his neighbour. When he got time, he was not happy and gave us a big lesson of how we should behave as now we delayed other customers of him. Ironically, he gave the whole lesson again when we returned the boat, without allowing us saying anything. When we left, he was complaining to other customers openly about us. We were btw in total 10 minutes too late, 5 due to can't find a parking place, 5 due to he didn't have a boat available). I appreciate it's not very challenging business environment in Giethoorn, but still felt quite odd for a nice Friday afternoon... I paid 70 for one and half hour, boat is under good condition. I suggest the owner to add a note on his website, that the parking space is limited thus can't be guaranteed, so that his potential customers can prepare properly. |

The lady owner was very impatient and unpleasant to us. And for the price (65 eur for 2 hours) we felt like we got a very lame boat (super slow with a tiny motor, any algae near the propeller stuck it almost completely, and we had a few complete standstill events due to a connection issue in the cable from the battery to the engine). |

Drecksladen! Unfassbar lange Wartezeiten trotz Termin!! Wir haben für 15.00 gebucht und mussten eine Stunde warten bis wir ins Boot dürften. Alles unorganisiert, chaotisch, unfreundlich!! Man will nur das Geld machen und übernimmt keine Verantwortung!! Meine Bitte uns schneller das Boot zu geben, weil ich Geburtstag habe, war auch komplett ignoriert!! Das Geld zurückzahlen wollte auch keiner!!! Einfach ärgerlich und dreist!!! 👿😡😡😡😡😡😡 |
