House rules for dogs

Van der Valk Hotel Drachten

Dogs are welcome in our restaurant, bar/brasserie (as long as they are on a leash and remain under the table) and in some of our standard and deluxe rooms. Please note: It is not Allowed to bring your dog to the breakfast room!

Furthermore, we have established a number of house rules to make your stay and the stay of our other guests as pleasant as possible.

  • If you are bringing your dog(s) to our hotel, please indicate this when making your reservation. We have a limited number of rooms where pets are allowed. These rooms are assigned by our reception staff.

  • For bringing a dog during an overnight stay in our hotel, a surcharge of €25.00 per night will be applied.

  • We allow a maximum of two pets per room.

  • In the hotel, in the restaurant, in the bar/brasserie, on the terrace, and in the parking lot, dogs must always be kept on a leash.

  • Dogs are allowed.notTake a seat on our hotel beds and armchairs.

  • The owner of the dog is held liable for the repair costs for damages to the interior.

  • It is not allowed to leave your dog alone in the hotel room when you are not present in the hotel yourself. If you use the restaurant, breakfast room, bar/brasserie, or meeting facilities and leave your dog in the room, please inform the reception. This way we can reach you in case of noise disturbance.

  • Before entering the restaurant, please make sure your dog is dry and not leaving any muddy tracks.

  • Make sure your dog listens and does not cause inconvenience to the other guests. Not everyone likes dogs and finds a friendly dog greeting to be too much of a good thing.

  • Never let your dog loose or walk through the restaurant. Make sure your dog is leashed and stays under the table.

  • Do not let your dog "eat along" at the table or under the table;

  • Dogs are not allowed in the breakfast area.

  • When we have to compensate other guests for inconvenience caused by your pet, these costs will be charged to the dog owner.

  • We reserve the right to charge extra cleaning fees in case of excessive room contamination.

  • In case of persistent noise disturbance, such as barking, we reserve the right to remove the dog from the hotel. Removal due to disturbance does not entitle to a refund.

Finally, we would like to give you the following tip:
Make sure your dog stays under the table during the stay in our restaurant, does not cause any disturbance, and behaves like a true "table companion". This way, other guests will not have any complaints, and we can continue to welcome four-legged friends in the future. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
