The owner (Eric) was truly gracious and accommodating, always checking in and had great suggestions on things to do and see. Staff was all very helpful and cheerful and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Food was great, Room was nice but some bathroom upgrades are overdue.... luckily didn't spend much time there. Amazing sunsets and very relaxing atmosphere. Wouldn't hesitate to spend more time at the Houben again.

United States of AmericaEverything was amazing! The breakfast was huge - lots of choices and and delicious. The staff was eager to help and always smiling. The room exceeded expectations! With a view on the sea and amazing sunset! The monkeys stealing chips from the kitchen from time to time was just added entertainment! It’s quiet, relaxing and a very romantic place for couples. Loved the location too, close to the beaches and the fire show on the beach. The Chill Bar on the other side of the street served the best drinks. We didn’t want to leave!

United KingdomThe view! Absolute unique selling point for this little hotel. I recommend taking the suite so you have the best possible place to watch the sunset. Staff and beyond to help you. We had to leave at 5AM and they prepared a breakfast box for us so we wouldn't be hungry.
NetherlandsThe room had a million dollar view and breakfast consisted of many options and was delicous! The staff were personal and went out of their way to accomodate you, i.e. they offered you a glass of water when you were in the pool, they remembered the way you liked your coffee or how you liked your room. Truly wonderful people.
BelgiumThe care and attention afforded by Eric and the entire Houben team was second to none. Beautiful room overlooking the ocean (as they all are), very good choice for breakfast. Courteous and helpful staff all the way. We didn't want to leave and hope to be back soon. Thanks All ❤️
