What guests think about Gästehaus St. Josef - Borkum
Gäste fühlen sich in dieser Ferienwohnung sehr wohl und heben die zentrale sowie gleichzeitig ruhige Lage als perfekt hervor. Mehrere Besucher loben die freundlichen, zuvorkommenden Vermieter sowie die reibungslose Organisation bei der Anreise mittels Schlüssel-Tresor. Die Ausstattung wird als sauber und zweckmäßig beschrieben, wobei alles Notwendige vorhanden ist und die Service-Abwicklung als sehr gut bewertet wird. Während viele Gäste für wiederholte Aufenthalte in die Ferienwohnung zurückkehren, bemerkt ein Gast die Hellhörigkeit gegenüber der darüberliegenden Einheit.

Die Lage des Hauses ist perfekt,nah am Zentrum und trotzdem ruhig gelegen.
In der Wohnung selber,war alles was man braucht,es war sauber und zweckmäßig.
Das einzig negative für uns,war die Hellhörigkeit von oben.
Das Getrampelt und Geschiebe unserer Obermieter war sehr laut zu hören.

Verified by partnerIch habe die Tage auf der Insel - wie immer - sehr genossen. Gewöhnungsbedürftig fand ich die UrlauberInnen, die aufgrund der Pandemie "zwangsweise" auf der Insel waren und der Nordsee zum Teil wenig bis nichts abgewinnen konnten. Bedauert habe ich, dass der Lesesaal überhaupt nicht zugänglich war ... und dass es kein Filmangebot mehr gibt. Es gäbe ja Räume, die groß genug sind. Aber: Ich suche v.a. Ruhe, "Einsamkeit" und Natur - und die fand ich dann immer wieder. Herzlichen Dank!

Verified by partnerIm Haus war es angenehm ruhig, auch auf der Straße. Gefreut habe ich mich über die blühenden Rosen, die Grünanlagen. Schön war es, dass ich tgl. 1 x den stets ruhigen Meditationsraum nutzen konnte. Auch der Müllraum war stets "ordentlich". Herzlichen Dank!

Verified by partnerDas Inventar stimmte nicht mit der Inventarliste überein. Wir hatten aber keine Lust, alles genau zu überprüfen und zu melden. In der Wohnung 2 waren keine ganz normalen Frühstücks-/Dessertteller vorhanden.
Eine Mikrowelle wäre nicht schlecht.
In einer Wohnung war ein Föhn, in der anderen nicht.
Die Lage von dem Gästehaus ist super. Die Wohnungen sind sauber und zweckmäßig. Mir ist das lieber als eine Ferienwohnung, die mit viel Gedöns vollgestellt ist.
Das Haus an sich ist etwas hellhörig.
Der Fahrradparkplatz könnte etwas größer sein.
Ich möchte sehr gerne bald wiederkommen. :-) Der Urlaub war viel zu schnell vorbei.

Verified by partnerSuper zentrale Lage, trotzdem ruhig. Wohnung für 2 Personen ausreichend groß. Einrichtung und Ausstattung recht einfach - war aber auch so beschrieben - und von daher völlig ok. Haben alles sehr sauber vorgefunden. Konnten den Schlüssel bei Anreise wesentlich früher abholen, als uns lt. Vereinbarung mitgeteilt wurde. Das war sehr angenehm.
Vor dem Sofa fehlte uns ein kleiner Tisch, um ein Glas etc. abzustellen. Haben dafür einfach einen kleinen "Tisch" aus dem Schlafzimmer zweckentfremdet. Verbesserungsvorschlag: Da könnte man evtl. mal ein kleines Tischchen hinstellen.

In general it is impossible to exceed the maximum number of guests. Not even if you organise more sleeping facilities by yourself. Children, regardless of age, are considered as a guest. The indicated rental price is only valid for the maximum possible number of guests.
Some properties offer special rates for children. You can recognize those accommodations, if you are asked about the amount and the age of the travelling children in the price calculation. If this is not the case, the stated prices apply to all guests (regardless of age).
You can see the location of your accommodation on a map in the "Location" section on this page. Right below this map, you will find distances to interesting places e.g. city center, beach, ski lift or the next shopping possibility. Furthermore, an individual text written by the landlord gives you more information about your holiday destination.
You find the information about the floor right below the pictures of the accommodation at the top of this page.
Whether you can bring your pets or not, please read the information in the "Features" section on this page. In general, the term "Pets not allowed" means that it is not permitted to bring any kind of pets at all.
You find the check-in and check-out times under "General Information" in the "Property description" section on this page, if the landlord has entered these information. Deviations from this regulation can be discussed individually. If your arrival/departure has to be very early/late, we will gladly clarify this with the landlord, if the accommodation is only bookable online. If you chose a property with Enquiry Booking, please contact the landlord directly about this issue.
The key handover and return has to be clarified directly with the landlord. Please see question no. 18 to learn more about how and when you can contact your landlord.
There may be various reasons for this:
Your travel period undercuts the given minimum stay.
Your desired date of arrival/departure is impossible according to the landlord's settings.
A gap in the calendar is impossible to rent, if it undercuts the minimum stay, e.g. A gap of three nights is not bookable, if the given minimum stay is five nights.
You cannot book an accommodation, if your desired travel period causes a gap which is lower than the minimum stay.
Your requested arrival date is too short-term.
Since some of our accommodations are from cooperation partners, it is possible that the given data may not be up-to-date. In this case your desired travel period may be no longer available in the price calculation.
In this case your desired travel period is not bookable. You can extend your stay, if this is an option for you or you search for another accommodation with an appropriate minimum stay.
If you chose a property with Enquiry Booking, please contact the landlord via phone or the contact form on this page. If no exception can be made, the minimum stay for this accommodation has to be respected.
