“Amazing experience on our 10 day vacation. The breakfast was the best breakfast buffet I've ever had. Everything was fresh and tasty. The rooms were perfect and exactly what we needed. The staff were all friendly and the service was top notch.”
“The buffet is amazing. You can literally get whatever you want. And unlike the all you can eat restaurants it's actually good good.”
“I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly attentive and made everything feel seamless from check-in to check-out.

“My experience at this hotel was wonderful. The staff were really nice and helped with anything we needed. The hotel was beautiful and very clean, which made it easy to relax. Breakfast was the best part. There were so many options, and everything tasted great. I looked forward to it every morning. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone and would absolutely stay again!”
“Van der Valk Hotel Ridderkerk is a solid and convenient choice for business travel. I stayed in a spacious top-floor room featuring a king-size bed and a large bathroom with a jacuzzi — a very comfortable setup overall. Service was generally good, though the standout was a young, charming hotel trainee who provided truly exceptional service — professional, attentive, and warm. While the hotel’s website advertises a fitness area, it’s somewhat misleading: there are only a few pieces of equipment — a couple of exercise bikes, one treadmill, and one rowing machine — awkwardly placed in the middle of the large atrium surrounded by guest rooms. Breakfast was busy but offered a generous variety of options. Room service was quick and easy to order, and the restaurant, although quite loud and crowded, delivered friendly service and good food at fair prices. The main drawback was the elevator situation: there are only two, and one was out of order throughout my week-long stay. At peak times, waiting could take up to ten minutes — fine if you’re traveling light, but inconvenient with luggage or when in a hurry. My room was also very warm and the AC didn’t work, I could sleep with the small window open even though the highway outside makes it fairly noisy.”
“We had lunch while we charged our car. Menu had the usual you can find at Van der Valk hotels, we had an omelet and a club sandwich. Food was nice, especially the veggie chips that came with the sandwich. They seemed understaffed, took a bit before our food arrived.”
