The hotel was only about 15 minute walk from the train station. Spacious room with nice details. Also a good sized bathroom. Everything was done to a very high standard. Excellent breakfast, everything was fresh. Would highly recommended and happily stay again.

A lovely town house very close to the centre of town. The bedroom was lovely and very large ( top floor ) and the breakfast was a total surprise. Not your normal continental breakfast but hand made and different every day by a professional chef. Free parking is less than a minutes walk away and seems very safe. Lovely hosts that speak multiple languages. All in all fantastic and I will be recommending this place to all my friends.

This B and B and its proprietors are beyond great! Don’t even wonder if you should stay here....you should! Lovely property, amazing room, superb location (great for walking into Bruges plus handy parking too!), and a gracious and kind host. He was so helpful with orienting us with the city plus he makes an incredible breakfast! We look forward to returning to Bruges and to Villa des Raisins many times!

Remodeled B&B was terrific
Very nice welcome from the host. Gave us his garage for car storage. Bed was great. Room large and shower in bathroom a large and welcome difference from most hotels we've stayed in recently. Breakfast was wonderful all three days. Our host, we found out, is a chef and former restaurant owner. The house was remodeled four years ago and was very well arranged.

Don’t look any further than Villa des Raisins
We were warmly welcomed by Heerst after our arrival, with drinks and an overview of the city of Bruges: what to do, what to see and importantly what and where to eat. We discovered there were two recommended eating places within metres of his lovely heritaged listed property. However the beautiful breakfasts Heerst had carefully prepared, set us up for most of the day anyway. Walking distance from the train station and into beautiful Bruges helped to make our stay so relaxing. We slept well in a very comfortable ensuited bedroom upstairs.

Our first visit to Bruges... perfect choice!
Our first visit to Bruges - sadly only 3 days. Villa des Raisins is just 5 minutes from the city gates and 15 minutes from the Markt. Our room was clean and comfortable, and Geert provided a tasty breakfast every morning. He is a kind and friendly host, and offered us great advice on what to see and where to eat. We'll be back!

Lovely B&B with delicious breakfasts
Great position with a 10 minute walk into the old town and 15 minute walk to the train station but still in a quiet area. Our room on the first floor was spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts prepared by Geert our host were just wonderful and he also provided lots of helpful information about the town. An all round fabulous stay.

Lovely hotel.
Went for the Brugge Xmas markets and birthday treat. The hotel is a short walki from the centre in a quiet location. We had a lovely breakfast with the owner making extra effort with little home made treats. The room was clean and comfortable but a bit noisy because of the squeaky floorboards from the room above. The owner is friendly and very helpful and was keen to suggested good places to visit. I would certainly return to this hotel and I dont say that often.

The hotel is 10 minutes walk from the Bruges train station. It is 5 minutes walking from the hotel to the old town. The breakfast was great. The owner offered the best beer in the world for several euro. Make sure to take advantage of it. I later found the store in Brussel selling the same beer but three times of price.

Highly recommended!
The B&B is well designed on three floors comprising 3 rooms and a breakfast/lounge area. Gert the host is friendly welcoming and makes wonderful and unexpected little breakfast treats each day as well as providing a very high quality buffet of fresh local breads, pastries, granola, yogurt, cheeses and meats. The room was spacious and carefully put together with a shower room and tea & coffee facilities as well as hairdryer and small fridge stocked with bear and water. All details considered. A lovely comfortable mattress too.10/12 mins from main city by foot- great location no need for the car! ( free parking is a short walk away)

Great place to stay in Bruges
The Villa des Raisins is a great place to stay in Bruges. Just a short walk into the centre means that there is no need for a car. Being on the outskirts of the city means it is really quiet. The owner (Geert) always offered a couple of extra surprises at breakfast (normally one savoury and one sweet) on top of what was already an excellent choice. He also was a great source of ideas of places to go, places to eat etc Very comfortable room with huge bathroom

A Great Break
Lovely B&B only 12 minutes walk from the train station and about 15 minutes from the centre of Bruges. Our hosts Carine and Geert were so kind and helpful. We were given a hot drink (or cold beer) with biscuits when we arrived. Geert then sat down with us, before he showed us to our room, and went through a map of Bruges pointing out all areas of interest and recommending various restaurants. He was always willing to answer any questions and make reservations if we needed. Our room was beautiful and overlooking the garden. Very comfortable bed and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Large walk in shower. Good selection for breakfast and all very fresh, local produce. Also had choice of freshly cooked eggs, a hot cheese topped roll and mini pancake each morning. a really enjoyable holiday and would deffinately go again.

Awesome B&B!
Excellent B&B! The owner was very helpful and took time to personally show us a map of the local area and gave recommendations of places to see as well as good restaurants. Gave us a complimentary welcome drink as well. The property was very nice. Breakfast in the morning was amazing! He used to be a chef and gives you a couple freshly cooked treats.

motorcycle tour of Belgium
My wife and I were on a short tour of Belgium and found this guest house highly recommended on trip advisor, and they weren't wrong Geert is very hospitable with the obligatory Belgian beer on arrival. I needed somewhere secure to keep my motorbike and Geert kindly let me keep it in his garage. The guest house is just outside of the city literally a 5 minute walk to the square by the new Concert Hall, but this is a benefit as you don't need to negotiate the narrow streets or the extortionate parking costs within the city. all in all a pleasant stay and did I mention the breakfasts!!!

Great place
This really is a top of the range B & B with an excellent host. We had been to Brugge before but Geert welcomed us with a very good briefing that helped us to explore the less touristy but fascinating parts of Brugge. A welcome drink was provided and Geert allowed us to use his garage. All 3 rooms were excellent and we had the large top room which was very well appointed. The house is well decorated in a very stylish eclectic way. There is a safe and a mini-bar which has a selection of free drinks in it. Bed was very comfy and we had two nights great sleep. Breakfast was excellent, with a good choice and as already said excellent eggs and coffee. Both mornings Geert provided a couple of excellent tasty surprises. Geert is a great host and you get a real insight into life in Brugge and Belgium. He will also give you a good insight into beer. The B & B is located 10-15 minutes walk from the centre of town. The walk in takes you pass many interesting and stylish shops. Just a great place to stay....... Room Tip: All rooms good, but the top of the house is super.

BEST Breakfast and bed.
Selected for its good ratings, and location: easy/short bus trip from Brugges train station, and short walk to Concertgebouw where we had concert tickets. Would return for the EXCELLENT breakfast prepared by a career caterer. Not only the selection of cheeses, meats, different fresh baked breads, fresh chopped fruits, cooked to order eggs, great coffee, but just when you think you're done, out comes extra special little plates of some delicious crepe or brushetta. It's a totally remodelled old house, so there's a few flights of stairs, a bit of noise overhead if you are on the middle floor, but no traffic or street noise after dark. Room is well lit, and both room & bathroom very good size, good storage and lighting at sink area, has corner shower. Geert provided maps, tips, and outlined the city. Our discussions with Geert were informative and made the stay that much more enjoyable.

Pure luxury and indulgence.
This is the nicest Bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in. It was luxurious and indulgent. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. Anything I mentioned that I might do was researched on the internet then and there. There are lots of lovely, thoughtful touches that considered your comfort such as coffee on arrival. The highlight of everyday was the superb breakfast cooked by Geert, who used to be a chef. It showed! While it is outside the walls of the old city, it was only a 15 minute walk to centre.

Lovely B&B with attentive hosts
Excellent location just outside the city walls which is great if you are driving in as you avoid going to the centre. The hosts, Carine and Geert are absolutely fantastic and very helpful, inviting us into the sitting room and offering great advice about where to visit and eat. Stayed in the suite which was a very good size and came complete with jaccuzzi. The place is tastefully decorated and breakfast is cooked and served when you are ready. Excellent selection of breads and cheeses, fruit, cereals etc. Bruges won us over and when we go back, we will definitely be staying at Villa des Raisins!

Perfect stay in Bruges
Villa des Raisins is a fantastic place to stay in Bruges. Geert is an excellent host, welcoming us into his home with a hot drink before taking us through a map of the sights to see. The room (we had the top floor suite) was very comfortable, with a four poster bed, sofa, and huge bathroom! Geert provided lovely little touches that made our stay very special, not least the delicious breakfast every morning. I would stay here every time.

Great B&B
This is a great B&B just outside the wall of Bruges. You are more than guests in this small B&B, you are family for your stay. When we arrived we were offered a beverage of choice and chips while we sat down to discuss our siteseeing plans for the city. Our hosts could not have been more friendly or helpful. Breakfast was wonderful with personal warm items offered each day. Free parking is just down the street. The old city is just a short walk away. It is more convenient to stay outside the wall if you have a car in our opinion. We highly recommend this as a great value stay.

Looking forward to going back
From the time he opened the door, Geert was the perfect host. We felt like friends rather than paying guests. He gave us a welcome drink, sat us down in the lounge, got out the map and told us the best places to visit in Bruges. Apart from his hospitality, which was exceptional, the place was also lovely. Everything was good quality, spotlessly clean, comfortable - just perfect. Good quality toiletries in spacious ensuite shower room. Complimentary water and beer in minibar. Good coffee and tea in room. Marvellous breakfast. Garage for the car. 10 minutes walk to Markt Square. Perfect location. Can't fault it.

Superb "boutique" B & B close to centre of Bruges
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this accommodation. The bedroom with ensuite was superb (as good if not better than most 4* hotels) The whole experience was relaxed. Geert was a great host and provided us with in depth local knowledge and advice plus superb breakfasts. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again and recommend to our best friends.

Geert was a great host and his wonderful breakfasts will stay with us a long time. We had the beautiful suite, and although the stairs are quite narrow, Geert helped and the climb was worth it.

Loved our stay here!
We had to book the most expensive room (which was not expensive) at this small B&B because all the other rooms were taken. It was well worth it!! Our suite encompassed the top floor of the house, huge bathroom with double sink, windows for crossflow breeze, etc. As per other reviews, breakfasts were great and we really appreciated that there were different surprises each day (the owner was formerly a professional caterer.) There are so many personal touches that larger hotels do not provide - free (and good) wifi, fridge with complimentary drinks, and kind owners who went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible (at the same time, they also had a great balance and were not intrusive at all). We also quite enjoyed the location as it was very slightly out of the old city/tourist area but still close enough for convenience.

Excellent 2 nights stay. Great B&B
Very nice and cosy B&B. Geert is an excellent host and takes genuine effort in making sure that you feel welcomed at his hotel. The breakfast was amazing especially the dessert was very nice. Not very far from train station if you are travelling by train. The only negative is its slightly outside Bruges so no lovely views from the rooms. But doesnt really matter if you are out and about the whole day. Overall I would definately recommend this place to anyone and would stay there again if I go to Bruges again.

Fantastic B&B, highly recommended
This has to be one of the best holiday accommodations we have stayed in, and that includes 5* hotels! Karin and Geert were very welcoming hosts, they meet you personally upon arrival with a welcome drink and an introduction to the area and what is going on/places of interest to visit during your stay, and recommendations for places to eat and which to avoid. Our room was on the top floor of the house and was absolutely superb - it was huge with an en-suite you could party in. The rooms were fabulously clean and comfortable with beautiful decor - honestly we couldn't fault it at all. Geert appears to run the B&B and does a lovely breakfast each morning (until 10am) - with bottomless drinks and different breakfast 'treats' each day. The house is a gorgeous, beautifully renovated property not too far from the centre of Brugges, it takes around 5-10minutes to walk into the centre and it's a lovely walk. We visited at Christmas time when the markets were open, and the streets were decorated, it was stunning. As it is a few minutes out of town parking is not a problem and we were able to park directly in front of the property free of charge during our stay - other hotels charge up to 15 euros per day to park which can add a tidy sum to your holiday. I would not hesitate in recommending Villa des Raisins to any future visitors. I booked it on the strength of the feedback and it certainly didn't disappoint.
