  • Guidos73Switzerland · Jan 13, 2026 10Exceptional

    Liked : Reception and personnel are always helpful and smiling.

    Disliked : SPA Swimmingpool area could overcrowded in holidays seasons

    • Solo traveller
    • Basic Double Room
  • AnneNetherlands · Dec 23, 2025 9Exceptional

    Liked : Beautiful surroundings, lovely staff, the wellness facilities were clean and comfortable. Room was spacious, bed was comfy. I liked (and needed!) the pillow service so that I could get another one. Breakfast buffet is elaborate and delicious. In the room I had a kettle to make tea. The entrance and bar area are very cozy to hang out in between activities.

    Disliked : It would be nice if the pillow selection in the room is already a bit varied. Also, it would be great of the hotel got a gym as well. Lastly a little fridge in the room would be nice.

  • VivyIsrael · Aug 14, 2025 9Exceptional

    I would come back!

    Liked : great location ! in the middle of the forest and walking distance ( around 1-2 kilometers to the center to the amazing center of Bergen
    The sauna was great and the cold shower!

    Disliked : I would to have a yoga room to practice or a gym . the food for vegan was really very limited!

    • Standard Double Room
  • MaryUnited Kingdom · Jul 28, 2025 9Exceptional

    Great place to stay for a couple of days.

    Disliked : The bar food could have been more varied.

  • JoelNetherlands · Jan 5, 2025 8Very good

    A solid four star spa hotel in an amazing location, with some room for improvement

    Liked : Room had an amazing nature view. Pool and sauna were perfect - if you find a quiet time when children are not allowed. Breakfast was pricey, but well stocked and yummy with freshly prepared foods in a buffet style. Blooming's tucked-away location amongst the hiking and MTB trails in the dunes was superb. Staff were kind.

    Disliked : The Booking.com room that was confirmed was not the room that was given at check-in. After arriving in the room, I had to persist with the reception regarding the mistake. Eventually they gave us an upgrade - but not a nice way to start our getaway. Hot tub was not hot, barely warm. Room service was not very thorough with their cleanliness and attention to detail. Could have supplied slippers and robes for true spa feel.

    • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony
  • DavidNetherlands · Nov 8, 2024 9Exceptional

    Nice family getaway

    Liked : Friendly staff, good food and nice location in the forest.

    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Quadruple Room
  • BrianUnited States · Jan 30, 2024 8Very good

    Liked : Healthy walking distance into Bergen or Schoorl. Staff was fantastic- just very friendly and helpful. Restaurants do not offer wide selection, but the food is generally very good.

    Disliked : Room was a bit sparse. A decent closet and dresser would have been nice (there was plenty of space).

    • Basic Double Room
  • GeorgeUnited States · Sep 1, 2023 10Exceptional

    When I retire, I plan to come here for one whole summer. Then my life will be perfect.

    Liked : Everything. So special here. We are long time returning guests. Don’t come—leave it for us!

    Disliked : Like a lot of places, business and special events sometimes make the place a tad bit busy. But to be honest, the hotel manages these very well, and if they help Blooming thrive so we can enjoy it forever , then good!
