Reviews of Expect the unexpected !!!

The best place to stay in Bruges 😊 the host is so welcoming and friendly and makes you feel at home instantly. She helped me with things to do and see in Bruges and any questions I had she was more than happy to answer. I really liked my stay here and would definitely stay again. It is a very special place along the river or Bruges in a great, quiet location. I slept very well! 100% recommended!

Great host you is very helpful. Good breakfaat and location is on the edge of the historic area.

Stairs up to the rooms are steep.

Very original, quiet and comfortable accommodation with a great atmosphere. Everything very clean, lovely breakfast with variety of food every morning. Marjan is a very nice lady. We had a wonderful time in Bruges. Thank you for the lovely and relaxing stay!

Everything was absolutely perfect.

Quirky decor &great location (a quick walk to the centre of the city, but away from the noise). Marjan was so welcoming and provided us with a lovely breakfast selection of breads, jams, fruits, yoghurt and pastries each morning. We met the cats Jimmy and Hendrix, and they were both gorgeous brought even more joy to our stay!

We liked everything, although one of us found the mannequin slightly spooky while settling down on the first evening

It is one of a kind- the property, the decor- it’s a hidden gem. If travelling to Bruge, I’d definitely recommend staying at this bnb. It’s cozy and homely and the host is the loveliest. The view is amazing. The bed is comfortable. The breakfast is filling and delicious. The room is spacious. My favourite thing was the radio connected to one of the light switches. Having radio playing in the background changes the vibe of the room so much and makes it feel so snug. Oh! And the cat is very friendly. Definitely go with Marjan’s recommended places to visit and eat. They are all really good.

Nothing to not like.

Unique decor, convenient location in quiet neighbourhood, wonderful host, I could go on and on!

Nothing :)

Everything was just right. Hence ratings given.

Nothing

It was conveniently situated within walking distance of Bruges centre but yet had a lovely quiet setting.

The narrow steps may make it difficult for some to carry large luggage to the top floor which is the room we stayed in.

Quirky, clean and friendly

This is not just a room in a private house, this one is truly a boutique - room decorated with taste! We found ourselves in a fairy tale in the emphasized room. Great location, continental breakfast. The main feature of this place is of course the hostess! Friendly, helpful, will tell you everything about everything!

Everything was exactly what I needed for a last-minute trip. Great location, great service, very well priced. I'd definitely stay again on a return trip.

Nothing stood out as a negative at all.

This is a gem of a place in the heart of old Bruges. It's like living at an atelier and a museum! Every little corner is exceptionally put together, and you can see the live and the artistry that has gone into making it what it is. If you've seen the pictures you know what to expect, but being in Marjan's house exceeded those expectations. Moreover, we had the most comfortable stay ever. Marjan is a very thoughtful host. You can ask her anything anytime, she goes above and beyond to cater to your needs and comfort. Her personalized list of recommended activities and places to see made our trip that much more special. We hit al.ost all the spots she suggested and they were every bit worth it. We'd absolutely love to stay here again anytime we visit Bruges again.

There really isn't anything to dislike about the place.

The house is in the middle of the old town. You can walk everywhere and visit everything. There are restaurants nearby. It is very nice, very homely and very familiar and the hostess is a super nice, friendly person. The breakfast was very varied. Marijan added something new to it every day. Different juice on a daily basis. There were fresh pastries and either salami or cheese every day. The hostess always gave us lots of tips about where we could eat, what we could visit and what exactly was happening in the city. The bathroom is very well equipped with a hairdryer with shower gel with all sorts of things you could need.

There is very little not to like in this B&B, it is a private house with two rooms that are for rent, each on a different floor. With large luggage it is rather difficult to go up to the individual rooms because of the stairs which are very narrow.

We were expecting the unexpected and we were not disappointed! Marjans place is very cool and quirky. Every time you look around you see something new and interesting! We thought it was great fun and really loved our stay! Outside of the cool place, Marjan was so welcoming and gave us some great tips of places to go to make the most of our trip. Her breakfast was delicious and the location to the centre and our view of the canal were also great!

Nothing! It was superb!

The name says it all. Unique decor, amazing host, great neighbourhood, definitely excellent value for the money. Would recommend to anyone, the photos don’t do it justice as the property very interesting, clean and well equiped.

Nothing to dislike

The host was very nice and welcoming. Breakfast was great and very generous. The B&B is located quite close to the centre, roughly a 10 min walk to Burg square. All in all, it was a nice (and interesting) experience.

EVERYTHING! This B&B had a 'WOW' factor the moment we walked through the door. For us, it's quirkiness and kitch made our stay even better. Our room was large. Facilities provided included a kettle, filter coffee maker,fridge and microwave. Shampoo and body wash and tissues were also found in the bathroom. The bed seemed larger than a bog-standard double and was extremely comfortable. The continental breakfast provided every morning (including day of checkout)was delicious and our brilliant hostess Marjan, ensured we only needed to ask if we required anything. She also gave us brilliant tips for getting the most from our sightseeing and her restaurant recommendations were spot on. The area was quiet, but it was walking distance from most of the touristy areas and shopping. If you like 'different' and enjoy exceptional hospitality, then this definitely is the B&B to stay when in Bruges!

NOTHING! But the decor is quite unique and some may find it somewhat overwhelming

I stayed in the attic room which is perfect, complete with en suite shower, microwave, coffee maker ,fridge, TV and WiFi. Very comfortable bed and seating area. Tea and coffee are supplied as is a wonderful breakfast every morning, a range of drinks and juices are also available from your fridge. Marjan is a wonderful host full of great recommendations of where to visit, eat etc. She is a delight to deal with and very helpful and accommodating I cannot recommend Expect the Unexpected highly enough. A great eclectic mix of art and objects adorn the whole property making for a real treat.

I loved everything, one thing to remember is that there is no lift so access to the rooms is by stairs only also there is no air conditioning which may be an issue in unseasonably hot weather. Very minor points though, I would not hesitate to rebook when next in Brugge.

Fantastic place, comfortable bed, and had everything as advertised. Marjan is a wonderful person who delivers a lovely brekky every morning and is really helpful. Would definitely stay again!
