Provider-sourced guest reviews.
This place is very good. A big room and bathroom. Very clean and comfortable with coffee maker and kettle. Franky encouraged me to put my motorbike in his garage, which is a real bonus in a busy town. It's a ten minute walk to the Menin Gate and town centre. The ramparts walk is also close by. Highly recommended.
The only slight negative is that if you have mobility problems you might be affected by the steep and narrow staircase.
Zeer vriendelijk en perfect gelegen. Parking kort bij, wandelafstand van centrum/Menenpoort, rustige straat.
We werden super enthousiast ontvangen door gastheer Franky
Alles was zoals t moest zijn
Easily accessible to town centre . Very clean and neat the room.
De locatie was top; dichtbij het centrum en bij de kerk kon je goedkoop de auto parkeren.
In de kamer had je wat weinig privacy, omdat de deur naar de badkamer van glas was. Maar dan moet ik iets noemen hè ;)
Where to start? We checked in for 4 nights and loved every second of our stay. This BnB is outstanding and a credit to the owner Franky who was so friendly, helpful and his attention to detail 100% on point 👌 Very clean 2 bedroom apartment, with kitchenette & a life saver was the air con in both bedrooms was so needed and the rooms had everything you needed, coffee machines, plenty of seating & storage and free WiFi it was such a great stay! This will be my go to place now every time I come to Ypres & when visiting the WW1 battle sites. To Franky thank you 🙏 your place really made the trip for us was so good meeting you.
Nothing at all it was perfect 👌 Perfect location & Clean

Great location. Nice host . Super clean .
De eigenaar was gastvrij .en zeer loyaal n.a.v. inchecktijd.De locatie is prachtig gelegen en ook dichtbij het station.
Wij misten een echte lavabo of spoelbak in de keuken?
Super fijne accommodatie, goed bed, airco, rolluiken en binnen 10 minuutjes in het mooie centrum van Ieper. Gastheer Franky was super behulpzaam en stond bij vragen gelijk paraat met een oplossing. Echt top!
Kan eigenlijk niks verzinnen dus doe ik dat ook niet :)
Het Houten Paard is een kleinschalig B & B in de stad Ieper. Er zijn twee mogelijkheden om gebruik te maken van de enorm goed verzorgde B & B. De ruimste is op de twee verdieping en is prima ingericht. Op de eerste verdieping is een kleinere B & B met weliswaar alle faciliteiten, maar de ruimte is wat beperkt. Het slapen, de ambiance en de enorm hulpvaardigheid van de host zijn geweldige pluspunten. Voor een paar dagen Ieper en omgeving is Het Houten Paard een aanrader !
De ligging: heel dicht bij het centrum, maar toch rustig. De service van de gastheer. Franky stond altijd klaar. Van het bakken van eitjes bij het ontbijt, tot het bezorgen van een paraplu bij regenweer. We zijn heel aangenaam ontvangen.
De beperkte ruimte in de badkamer. Maar dit is qua indeling van ruimte niet anders haalbaar denk ik.
Super locatie, de straat uit en je staat midden op het makrtplein van Ieper. Inchecken was heel eenvoudig, ontbijt was prima geregeld.
De host was ronduit fantastisch.

Franky was a fantastic host, he assisted with security of my vehicle and was exceptionally accommodating for all our needs. the property was lovely, location perfect! thank you!
De gastheer was héél behulpzaam, we hadden een ruime badkamer en al koffie en thee op de kamer. Bovendien kon je de gastheer alles vragen. We raden deze accommodatie aan vrienden en familie aan
Een mooie B&B met een gastvrije ontvangst. Op loopafstand van het centrum. Voldoende parkeergelegenheid in de buurt. Alles netjes en schoon.
Franky was super vriendelijk en gastvrij. Zorgde ervoor dat we niets tekort kwamen tijdens ons verblijf. We voelde ons zeer welkom.
De douche was moeilijk te regelen qua temperatuur.
Perfecte locatie, goed bed en vooral goede kussens. Alles was proper, ruim en mooi ingericht. De check-in is een self check-in en wij houden hiervan dus voor ons was dit ideaal. Franky deed 's avonds een babbeltje met ons en was telefonisch zeer bereikbaar. Zeer sympathieke man.
Niks op aan te merken
Netjes, schoon, verzorgd en heel vriendelijk. En alles is ook zelfstandig te doen, dat geeft flexibiliteit in aankomst, vertrek, ontbijt, fiets stallen in garage. Ideaal.
Super vriendelijke ontvangst. Heel goede locatie, dicht bij het Centrum en toch dicht bij gratis parkeerplaatsen. Alles op wandelafstand. Zeer propere kamer. Alles voldoende aanwezig op de kamer. Top ontbijt en een mooie gerieflijke ontbijtruimte.
Host was very welcoming and very informative. Room was excellent with great facilities.

Super fijn bed en lekker ontbijt. Gastheer is erg vriendelijk. Beste B&D die ik ooit heb gehad.

Gastvrijheid en heel erg schoon
The location is perfect for exploring the old town, the Menin Gate and walking the wall. Our host was super friendly and knowledgeable.
The bed was a bit soft for our liking, but fine for a couple of nights stay
Ein sehr netter Gastgeber. Das Zimmer war wunderschön und maximal sauber. Sehr gute Lage. Ruhig und doch nur 10 Minuten zu Fuß in die Innenstadt. Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.
Nothing to dislike, great place stopped here once before the owner is really helpful Nothing is too much trouble, even let us park two motorcycles in his garage. It's clean and in a great location.
Franky was a great host, friendly, informative, discreet and attentive. The room was spacious and clean. I was very happy to be a guest in his house, and the town of Ieper is an extraordinary place to visit.
Mooie b en b vlakbij centrum. Vriendelijke host.
Very clean and tidy warm welcome from the host franky and he even let us use his garage to store our motorbike round the corner so we had peace of mind during our stay and the breakfast was brilliant
De vriendelijkste B&B uitbater van de Westhoek. Heerlijk ontbijt met vers fruit. Warme welkom en afscheid. Ligging. Super hygiënisch. Goede hoofdkussens! Tip: Ons programma met perfecte uitvalsbasis bij deze B&B - dagje Kemmelbergwandeling + stadje verkennen en lekker eten op de Markt - dagje stadswandeling + winkelen + Last Post + Vlaanderen zingt - autotour "Ieper Salient" Maar zoveel andere mogelijkheden.
Eigenaar is zeer vriendelijk
Franky was the perfect host, no pressure made using feel at home straight away. The room was spotless and 15 minutes to the town centre we will be back
It was perfect for us
The host is a ver friendly person who makes sure you have a pleasant stay, from explaining the facilities to recommending noteworthy or mentionable sites to visit during your stay. The facilities were clean and everything worked as advertised. The town of Ypres has a lot of history of the Great War, everywhere you go you shall encounter it. Worth paying a visit.
Nothing to note.
Heel vriendelijke ontvangst in een heel nette en mooie kamer. Alles aanwezig en in orde. Ook de locatie was zeer rustig en toch op wandelafstand van het centrum en alles voor eten en beleving. Zeker een aanrader.

Cozy comfortable place
Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst, parkeren voor de deur. Onze fietsen mochten in de garage achter gesloten deur en we hadden daarvan de sleutel. De B&B ligt op loopafstand van het centrum van Ieper, in een hele rustige straat. De kamer is ruim, met een goed bed en heerlijke douche. De ontbijtruimte heeft een koelkast waarvan gebruik gemaakt mag worden. Er staat een Nespresso koffiemachine, een waterkoker en servies. Alles zeer proper. Ook op de kamer is ook een waterkoker. Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf!
Niks, voor ons was alles perfect.
De gastheer is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De ligging is rustig en toch heel dichtbij het centrum. Parkeren kan zeer dichtbij voor 2 euro per dag. Het is echt een aanrader.
Amazing place situated in the heart of Ypres. You can explore everything easily from there and just grab a bicycle to see the battlefields. Franky,the host is truly a super host. He ensures everything you need is there and more. Truly an awesome spot!
The host was just the best. Was there to welcome me, even though I was late due to Calais port strike and helped me with so much information. On street parking great. Nothing was too much trouble. Felt so much at home. Will definitely go back.
Breakfast offered was expensive at 18 euros, so glad I took my own. Plentiful tea, coffee etc and great little kitchenette though just outside my room in which to prepare and eat.
Location to town centre, room was well equipped and the host very helpful!
Nothing
Franky was a great host - very friendly and welcoming, and even made space in his garage for my motorcycle. Beautiful accommodation just a short walk to the centre of town.
The location on a quiet street, a 10 minute walk to the main square, comforable rooms and airconditioning!
Nothing to say, everything was wonderful.
Nice clean and bright with air conditioning
Nothing
Excellent location, walking distance to old town and major tourist attractions, the street is very quiet and decent, very comfortable bed and pillow, great shower, very clean, elegantly and cozily decorated room, though small but got everything. The host Franky is very kind and friendly.
Though the bathroom is a bit small but it still got sufficient space for putting things and hanging towels and clothes
Franky was so pleasant and helpful, although we only saw him at the beginning and end of our stay.
Great location,communication and a nice wee room just perfect for a short stay
Sliding glass door to bathroom wasn't completely non see through lol other than that all was good
Caring & super-friendly host !!! Beautiful space and best place to stay to explore Ieper!
Nothing
Wonderful host, beautiful apartment & easy parking directly outside. Definitely would stay again!
I was impressed with Franky on his customer service and easy instructions. For example, where to park your car and several options to make your stay pleasant. I have not met him on my stay but he made sure everything was in place for both check-in and Out. Will book again when I am back in Leper. Highly recommended.
Best B&B 👌
That I couldn't stay for a couple of weeks
A lovely host who was welcoming, kind and helpful. Situated in a great location, only a short walk to the centre, room was light, airy and clean.
The location was ideal and the communication between the property owner and my self was excellent. along with the facility the room was clean and comfortable. Great value for money.
Nothing.
Nice clean apartment, Franky is a nice host answered all my questions.
Everything
This is one of the best B&Bs that I have stayed in. The host, Franky, is very helpful and so flexible with all your needs. The traditional house is finished beautifully and the mini-kitchen facility with drinks and fridge is a real bonus.
Franky was mint. Couldn't do enough for us. My wife was ill & he offered to get medicine & to cook for her! Spotless room, spacious, small things like face clothes and a kitchen area (aside from our room) to eat takeaway. Quiet location but still only a 10 minute stroll to menin gate. Clean, modern and accessible. Super comfy bed, great orthopedic pillows with AC and heating! If we came back to Ieper, we'd stay in this place again, no doubt!
Can't think of anything.
Franky is a top host for whom nothing is too much. Indeed, he goes above and beyond and deserves a 5 star rating. Thanks a million, Franky, for making our stay unbelievably pleasant.
Nothing at all.
One of the best B & B’s anywhere in the world.
Nothing
Cozy apartments in a quiet area
Very friendly host, lovely place to stay. Great bedroom and bathroom with eye for details... I loved the loads of books everywhere around about the First World War and the region! Really incredible to have a great-working air conditioning in the room... Would recommend for sure!
Expect some stairs to climb...
Lovely accommodation
Absolutely nothing
Location was only 10 minute walk to main square. Owner was friendly and very informative. Room was spotless.
Liked everything. Would definitely book again
The hotel was ideally located for our road trip exploring the Battlefields. The room was of an exceptionally high standard, with no faults whatsoever. Ample parking was available nearby, and the property was easy to find. The owner was extremely helpful and provided a fresh breakfast each morning. The property was within walking distance of the town center, which offered an excellent selection of restaurants and bars, and Menin Gate was also conveniently close by.
Could not fault anything 😊
Appears to be a new business, still getting the breakfast arrangements sorted out, so drinks were available but no food on the days that we were there. Not a big issue for us, we could easily deal with it. Everything else was excellent. A good location, parking easily available, room clean, comfortable, very good facilities. I would definitely recommend this place.
As above, breakfast arrangements need sorting out, then the whole experience will be excellent. There was nothing that would put us off using Het Houten Paard again.
Great location, good secure parking for motorcycles 1 min walk from property.
