Clean room, nice hosts, good breakfast but the stairs ascending to the rooms is very steep and each step is not deep so ascending is hard and descending harder still. If you have difficulty walking I advise against staying here. Also we were promised a specific room but were given another. More

Camalou B&B Dikkebus via Ieper/Ypres Belgium. This is our third time staying at Camalou and it is one of our favorites. I shall try to be rational. Annette and Christian are quite the most favourite of our hosts. Nothing is too much trouble and they really do go out of their way to be as helpful as possible. Since or... More

My husband and I had the great pleasure of spending time with Annette and Christian at their wonderful guesthouse. Annette had spent an considerable amount of time researching the final days of 3 of our great uncles who lost their lives in WW1 and it was a very moving experience visiting the battlefields where they fell and their memorials. Both... More

We have stayed at Camalou at least once a year for the last 5 years, it is a wonderful place to have a relaxing break, it is quiet, the rooms are immaculate and Annette and Christian are the perfect hosts. This year we went to the Somme with Christian to find where our uncle lost his life in 1916. He... More

We recently did a 4 days Battlefields tour with Annette and Christian, where we visited WW1 battle sites, memorials and museums. Although we had no family member involved in this arena of WW1 and it was in the middle of winter, the tour exceeded our expectations. From the moment Christian picked us up (group of 6 Aussies) from our hotel... More

We booked a Battlefield Tour with Annette and Christian on the basis of a personal recommendation, and we were delighted. Both Annette and Christian have a deep knowledge of the Western Front, and in particular, the role of Australians. Camalou was a lovely home, and both Annette and Christian could not have done more to make our stay memorable and... More

We booked a battlefield tour with Camalou and were certainly not disappointed. Annette is a knowledgable tour guide with great enthusiasm for her subject. She had gone to a lot of trouble to find out all about my grandfather's war consequently making our tour personal and highly informative. With her skill and knowledge she managed to put my grandfather's final... More

My friend and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Camalou with Christian and Annette. Our positive experience of this lovely place began by Christian meeting us at the train station and driving us to the guesthouse, where we were seated at a beautiful, healthy and filling home made lunch of soup and the freshest baguettes available. We spent... More

Annette and Christian, a most helpful and obliging couple, who made their comfortable warm home, hospitality and wealth of knowledge available to us without any reservation. They also demonstrated a most refreshingly sensitive approach to the tragic events that occurred there during the terrible years of WWI. We highly recommend Camalou as the place to stay when visiting Ypres More
