Very familiar hotel. If you speak up about something, it will be done spontaneously. The food is good and tastes good. Children are well looked after and you still have enough time for family time afterwards.

Basically it was really ok, the service was good and nice, the food wasn't great, but you'll be full. The child care was very good, the rooms were sufficient, pool, pony rides, etc. everything was ok. Price/performance for the holiday was really fair - for a week all inclusive.Unfortunately, as an animal lover and dog owner, as well as my 9 year old daughter, I noticed that the really lovely dogs had far too little exercise and this was noticed not only by us but also by other guests.One of the two dogs often hides in the doghouse because the whole child's trouble is obviously too much for him and so he hides. Furthermore, the kennel is far too small to stay there for more than x hours, the chickens have almost three times as much space. The dogs' exercise is limited to when all the guests are at the table, then the dogs are allowed to go out briefly, do their business and come back in. It feels like 10 minutes and that’s for large dogs. Not once have we seen these great dogs being taken for a long walk at least twice a day, playing on the large lawn or anything else. That's just sad for an otherwise great holiday farm. I hope something changes here quickly.P.S. Despite this, I have already recommended the holiday farm. I hope for the dogs that something changes in the future.

Really a great farm, my daughter was able to help lead the horses, it's just great, the food and the care are just perfect for relaxing, the children can play outside all day and petting the animals is just great! Only to be recommended!!!!

Rustic but nice. Very honest and great food cooked by “grandma” ♥️As expected, very child-friendly.Motorhomes were allowed to be parked in the horse paddock; the horses were “reparked” in the adjacent paddock. Totally great place

We stayed at Monika's holiday hotel over New Year's Eve.Positive:- If you have a concern, Monika and her husband are there immediately- Cleanliness really 10/10, no matter where in the hotel- I can't understand the bad reviews about the food. It was always tasty, whether it was roulade, roast pork or salads. The food is typical farm style, especially the snack in the evening.- Playroom Montessori style- Large fleet of tricycles, Kettcar or Bobbycar- nice sand playground outsideNegative:- The swimming pool is NOT heated as stated. The whirlpool is heated, the pool is far too cold for babies/toddlers.- There was no childcare at all because it was a weekend. This is precisely where people have time off- In bad weather the scope is far too narrow and small for everyone. Many things are incomplete (e.g. Memory, Monopoly). It felt like you were sitting on each other's laps and the children were running over each other.- By far the most negative point is that in a Familotel there wasn't even a bottle of water in the room. Socket protection should also be a given.- In the evening there is no program at all. In the only common room, after dinner at 6 p.m., the lights are switched off using a power box and then it's time for work. Also New Year's Eve no program, no employment opportunities.Overall impression:For a long weekend, better in summer, quite nice. Price and performance don't match here. Boredom sets in quickly, you could do a lot more with it. If you don't eat on time, you're simply unlucky. Many babies in particular take a nap around 12.I was missing a real greeting. You get the room keys and then you explore everything on your own. You can borrow bathrobes, the room key is also the key to the swimming pool, etc. You find out by chance from other guests.I think you can get much better performance elsewhere for less money.

Wonderful family, wonderful welcome, wonderful area. My child felt right at home. He really enjoyed the swimming pool and I was able to relax in the jacuzzi. Any time! Thanks for the great stay!

I am surprised by the positive reviews. It wasn't a nice holiday for us and we would never come back, let alone recommend the hotel.Animal husbandry is very questionable. The "swimming pool" is very small and not clean. The whirlpool has been waiting for its filter system to be changed for weeks.

We spent a week with our grandchildren on the farm's camping meadow - right on the Wennebach - and enjoyed our stay. Our grandchildren took part in the daycare program and after the afternoon pony ride we went to the indoor swimming pool every day, which was the crowning achievement for the children.The care of the children was qualified and varied. In addition to the outdoor activities, there were crafts or indoor games, depending on the weather. Another highlight were the many vehicles that the children drove with joy into the yard. There was also the central meeting point for all activities and always something going on.The family accompanied us warmly during our stay and was always friendly.Since we were there as camping guests, we only took part in the barbecue of the week. We enjoyed it and didn't hear anything different from the other guests.Eating is a matter of taste.Just a word about the dogs, where some guests said in their review that they were only in the kennel.As campers, we noticed that the dogs were outside for an hour every morning, running around everywhere until the main activity began. I'm usually afraid of dogs, but these were by no means frightening; on the contrary, they were very calm and relaxed.Conclusion: we would love to come back!

We were guests at Monika’s holiday farm for a long weekend. Our two sons, my wife and I felt more than comfortable and welcome. We would particularly like to highlight the following: the warm welcome, the clean and large room with a large bathroom (Hans im Glück), the great playroom and the prepared activities, the sufficient buffet even for gluten intolerant people, the 3 p.m. cake time with fresh cakes, the family atmosphere all employees and thus the round all-inclusive package for families. We definitely recommend you and will definitely book a short vacation with you again. :-)

Monika's holiday farm is a real treasure! From the moment we arrived we felt like part of the family. The atmosphere is incredibly familiar and welcoming - it's like you're visiting old friends. The farm itself is just right - not too big, not too small, just perfect for a relaxing weekend.From feeding the animals to riding the ponies, there is something for everyone to do. The play options both indoors and outdoors ensure that the little ones are constantly busy and having lots of fun.The food was simple but good. I was very happy about the lactose-free alternatives.But the best thing about this farm is undoubtedly the warmth and hospitality of the family and the entire team. You really feel welcome and cared for. We were currently guests in the low season and had the luxury of being almost the only guests.Our weekend at Monika's holiday farm was very nice, so we would like to come back.

Good value for money. Children had fun. Children's room in the Rapunzel apartment is very cramped.

We stayed at Monika's holiday farm for a week with two children. We all felt very comfortable. The rooms are sufficiently large. The hotel is beautifully located in nature and well organized. There are two charging stations for electric cars. There is a star deduction for the food. There is a lack of vegetarian and healthy alternatives. Skipping meat at lunch is no longer appropriate.

We were there with 3 families for a weekend, 6 adults and 5 children aged 3 to 9.Unfortunately we were disappointed, especially with the food, as previously advertised there was no choice from 2 menus for lunch, my daughter likes e.g. B. No mashed potatoes with sauerkraut and stayed hungry because there was no alternative. If you don't eat on time you won't get anything... In the evening there was only bread and pancakes... Coke only on request... No scrambled eggs in the morning. In my opinion, this is simply part of every hotel! When I asked for vegetarian food, I was kindly given 2 fried cheese medallions. Unfortunately it wasn't tasty.However, what little selection there was was very tasty!Rooms were okay and clean! The staff were friendly and helped us a lot with questions and information! Nevertheless, we unfortunately didn't feel entirely welcome. A pity! I know far better family hotels.

Sorry, but not Famiotel standards, farm-style food, too much potatoes and sausage for dinner every day, child care requires that parents are always nearby (no program on weekends), hotel management takes criticism seriously.

Unfortunately, I can hardly say anything positive about our stay at the holiday farm. Our expectations in terms of hygiene (outdated, dusty, dirty hotel room), facilities (no child safety locks in the sockets) and service (room cleaning only upon request) were in no way met.The advertising on the website is misleading:-There was hardly any choice of gluten-free dishes,-Childcare U3 is not offered at all, as promised,-there is no time period to eat meals. If you don't show up for lunch punctually at 12 p.m., you'll stay hungry (unfortunately our meal time was delayed by 30 minutes due to our son's early nap. So we didn't get any more food that lunchtime).- There were neither baby monitors nor night lights, no secured sockets (!!!) or even a baby bathtub in the room as promised on the website.Animal husbandry is questionable.The vacation was overpriced, the price-performance ratio was not right at all.We ended our vacation early.As compensation, Familotel AG offered us a free HappyCard. A joke! After this great disappointment, we never want to enter a Familotel again.

Very nice family hotel. We really enjoyed our vacation with two small children. There was a varied program every day and many options for entertaining and longer excursions. The host family is very nice and cares about the well-being of the guests. We'd love to come back.
