Holiday Home Reservation
"Everything about our trip to Noordwijk was fantastic! Thanks to Belvilla for making this possible.
The apartments met all of our criteria, including clean rooms and linen, ample cooking space, and a well-equipped kitchen. Additionally, the swimming pool was enormous and comfy, and the children had access to a large playground.
However, there was a problem with Wi-Fi coverage, and their customer support is prolonged; they should look into this and make any necessary adjustments so that this will not be a problem.
But overall, we had a pleasant experience. Thank you for the discounted wine and for calling to ensure that we were safe upon our arrival.

Conclusion
The review sample shows recurring problems with cancellations, listing accuracy and slow refund or complaint handling. Multiple reviewers report being rebooked last‑minute, receiving properties that differ from descriptions or facing long delays from customer service. At the same time, a minority of guests describe stays that matched the listing and clear communication. Consumers considering Belvilla should verify critical details (bedrooms, pet rules, air conditioning), keep screenshots of listings and confirmations, confirm directly with the owner where possible, and check the cancellation and refund policy before payment.
