We stopped at a few places on our road trip. It was our very first time in a backpackers and we didn't know what to expect. It was our last night of vacation when Johan welcomed us. The children were immediately happy with the Wi-Fi and Johan recommended the best place for dinner, Kaai 4, and breakfast, Delfino's. Everything was clean and tidy and peaceful. We will definitely be back!

Nice stay.
We had a nice stay. Everything was nice and clean. Kitchen well equipped. Coffee, tea available for use as much as you want. The host told very nicely where there are different delicious coffee and places to eat - the references were very good and we had a great time. We slept in the front double room. The only thing I would recommend to the host is to put dark blinds in the front and side windows so that the outside lights don't shine so brightly into the room. But otherwise everything was good and delicious. Thank you very much.

It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay and I felt very safe. Had such a stunning view and my car was safe in front of the building. It was peculiar, but Johan assured we that nothing would happen. I will go stay there again anytime. Thanks to Johan and the LekkeSlaap team for a pleasant stay.

When we got to Bay Vista there was a problem with our reservation. However, Johan solved it by letting us live in a "bachelor's flat". It was nice. We were also happy because Bay Vista's parking is on the street and we were nervous because we also had our stroller. But with the apartment there was also covered parking.
