Hotel Buren is centrally located in West-Terschelling, two blocks behind the high street. But it is, nevertheless, super quiet. Or at least it was in October 2022, when everything on the island itself was relatively quiet. I can't comment on high season. You are in no time in the high street, on the dunes, at the sea.

I will never understand the dutch shower concept of not providing a door or a curtain to prevent the water from splashing around in the whole bathroom when you take a shower.

Location was perfect and the hosts were lovely. We were very comfortable in our room and liked the way housekeeping was more or less left to us to decide if we needed anything. We replenished our own coffee pods and sugar each days and towels were in the hall each morning to exchange if required.

The mattresses have a tendency to slide off their bases. but we just made sure we pushed them back on each day.

The hotel located at west of the island, very close to the shore where the ferries are. The hotel has the nicest staff (I think it runs by a family), super kind and helpful. The breakfast was also tasty. The rooms are quiet small but it has everything you need and it is arranged well. The beds are comfortable. Coffee and tea is also provided.

We went there at the heat wave, it was very warm and the fan was not enough. However, it was the case for anywhere in the NL. And the staff told us that they are arranging AC system for the hotel.

The room I had was large and the bed comfortable. I enjoyed the quite hotel and neighborhood. The staff is really nice and willing to help. And, last but not least, the breakfast was delicious.

Although my room was large, a table or a desk would have allowed me to work more comfortably.

This was a wonderful place to stay with my daughter. The staff were welcoming and helpful. It was so clean and comfortable in a great location

We could only stay 2 nights. It would have been a lovely place to stay while exploring the island

Perfect location to explore Terschelling. Within easy walking distance to many restaurants and shopping street. Lovely terrasse, which we couldn't use because of the cold and rainy weather during our stay.

The automatic door closes sometimes really slowly.
