Rinka and Patrick are really nice and friendly. We did a simultaneous exchange and had a chance to meet each other before our exchange at their home began, Rinka was even waiting for us at the train station - so nice of her :) She explained everything what was important and welcomed us with delicious dutch cheeses and surprise for our kids was waiting on the table :) We received many recommendations of what to visit or see in the nearby or further away. They live in a beautiful, quiet and family friendly area and their house is spacious and fully equipped with everything you could need. Our kids really liked playing with the toys, especially with princess costumes from the very first day of exchange :D We even swapped our cars and bikes, so we tried to live like a local :) Although the weather was mostly rainy during that week, we have been lucky to visit Efteling amusement park during sunny day, it was the best, not only for kids, but even for us, the parents, we really enjoyed a day full of fun and we even had the tickets for better prices thanks to Rinka :) We made a day trip to Amsterdam as well and have tasted some typical dutch delicacies. We can highly recommend exchanging with Rinka and her family :) -
A lovely location easily connected to the city centre (which can connect you further out) and in a quiet neighbourhood perfect for children! The house is comfortable and offered everything we needed for our stay. Rinka and her family were amazing hosts. They picked us up from the airport, left goodies for the kids, and ensured we had everything we needed. Thank you for a lovely stay. -
Was great seeing you again!!🥰

We had the most wonderful summer 2023-exchange in ‘s’Hertogenbosch (den Bosch) in Rinka and Patric’s home. It was such a perfect base for our exploration of the Netherlands and Belgium. Den Bosch is a charming town with old houses, canals, lots of restaurants, shopping and not to mention a wonderful cathedral. We went on day-trips to Amsterdam, Haarlem and Utrecht as well as the beach at Bloemendaal. We rented a car for some days in order to do a Belgium-tour. Within two hours we arrived in Brügge/Bruges- absolutely adorable! Continued to the fields of Flanders to review the WW1/Great war-history. Stopped over in Tournay before spending the third day in Waterloo and seeing and learning about the battle of 18.of June 1815 that made Napoleon surrender. Rinka left precise instructions for us, including places to swim and sun bath in a river a short drive/ride from the home. With the warm summer weather that was perfect! And felt like a gem to share a little beach with only a handful other locals! Loved the restaurant there too. We also went to see the small sand dunes near the home and the big sand dunes half an hour drive. The home was in a quiet neighborhood, super-sweet neighbors, convenient and welcoming. Can definitely recommend for an exchange- in addition Rinka and Patrick were super nice and easygoing😊 -
Rinka's home was very nice and Rinka and Patrick were very helpful and hospitable in assisting us for a non-reciprocal stay at their home in Den Bosch. Bike riding is great in the Netherlands for most local commutes - everyone does it, however a vehicle would be handy for wider exploration (Amsterdam, the Hague, Rotterdam etc). Thanks again for your hospitality. -
Rinka and Patrick's house is just like them: generous and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay with them very much and took advantage of the bikes kindly made available to us. The children loved the many games and toys left by Alec and Ellis. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. -
We had a wonderful time at Patrick and Rinkas home. The house is well located, close to Rosmalen and Den Bosch and also easy to access by car and public transport. The surrounding area is nice for walks in the woods or making tours by bike. Patrick and Rinka provided us with different bikes and we enjoyed cycling around and getting to know the area. The house has all facilties you may need and lots of games and books. We particularly enjoyed this very friendly and adventurous family and the excellent communication during the exchange. We recommend an exchange with them at any time, you would be lucky to have this opportunity. Thank you for the wonderful time and sharing your home with us! -
We were warmly welcomed by Rinka and Patrick. The house is spacious and comfortable. It is very easy to reach the house by train and then by bus. There are lots of games that our kids loved. The neighborhood is very nice and Rinka had left us a great list of sites to see/do with the children. I recommend the house, but above all I recommend meeting this wonderful family. -
Rinka and Patrick's house is very pleasant and well equipped. It is next to a wood, ideal for many walks or bike rides. It is close to all services. Communication was great throughout the exchange, Rinka and Patrick are very easy to chat with. We are happy to have met them and to have shared good times with them. We hope to see them again soon. Great conversation with a great family!
