B&B Het Colettientje

Maria was an absolutely amazing host! We stayed at the B&B October 11-14th. We were originally supposed to arrive at 10pm. Her check-in hours are 2pm - 5pm, but with a quick email she was more than willing to accommodate us. We showed up earlier than expected, at 5pm, and she was there waiting to let us in. This is a small B&B and Maria lives at the property. This is not a hotel with a 24/7 front desk and staff, so I was grateful Maria was there, although she wasn't expecting us until later. Upon arrival Maria was so welcoming. We sat at her table while she pulled out a map and made recommendations for places to visit, sightsee and eat. It was great to have some local knowledge, and although we had been to Brugge before she recommended places we had no previously been. After welcoming us she showed us around the B&B. It was very clean! We didn't see any bugs at all (let alone bed bugs as another review mention). Maria provided extra blankets in case we got cold. She had us inspect the bathrooms and bedroom to make sure it was to our liking. The parking is 10EUR a day, but its in her personal garage right next to the property. It fit my large SUV no problem, and the neighborhood and parking was very safe and secure. Every morning we were provided an excellent breakfast of fresh bread, homemade jam that Maria makes herself, cheese, salami and omelettes made to order. Tea and coffee are included. She offers fresh orange juice for 4EUR a glass, but neither my husband or I are juice drinkers so we declined with no problems or pressure. The location is amazing and about a 5 minute walk from De Halve Man Brewery. We found it very easy to get around by foot and didnt use the car all weekend. Some how I missed it was a shared bathroom when booking - The bathroom is shared with one other room. There is one room with a toilet. The other bathroom has a tub with shower hose (not fixed to the wall), a sink and mirror. We had no issues with sharing the bathroom with the other guests, it was not a problem at all. However, I still didn't notice it was shared when booking the room. We were in the "Double Room" which does not match the photos on Booking. As others have mentioned the Double Room has a small seating area, and narrow stairs up to a loft where the bed is. She did provide a small lamp on both levels. We left the downstairs lamp on at night so that we could see going up and down the stairs to get to the bathroom. I felt it was larger than the other room, but if you're not expecting the stairs I could see how this would be a concern.
