What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary

"Nice to have it near Amsterdam, but I've been there twice now and not sure if I'm coming again.
It gets quite expensive with equipment rental - we paid around 260€ for "Avond skipas" with clothes and equipment for 2 adults and 2 kids. Out of 4 hours we used maybe 2 (was more than enough for this hill), and one of us didn't ski at all (struggled with the ski lift).
Those ski lifts (a cable that pulls you up) are super inconvenient. Eventually we got used to it, but it still wasn't easy.
Plus 2x2.5€ for the lockers, which have a quite confusing interface, so we got our stuff stuck there and had to ask the staff to open it for us (they were quite friendly btw!).
Eventually, it was a nice experience, but I don't think we're coming again to this specific place."

"Rarely experienced such bad support. We ordered a ticket for 20:00 - 22:00, which you would assume is an evening ticket. Yet, the price was €39,99.
Later, we found out we should've selected "Evening ticket", priced at €26. A friend of us paid that price and even got a timeslot from 19:30 - 22:00.
Why does the website not automatically apply this when you select an evening time range?
We figured this must have been a mistake, so I contacted support. There was no way they could refund or give a discount code, I was the one that's stupid, as "the website is clear about it". Sorry, but if you build a website that does not automatically suggest or apply an evening ticket when I select an evening time, I'm not the one that's stupid.
It feels like stealing from your customers, and I'm not even talking about the bar that was still open, but hesitant to serve us drinks because "they were busy"."
