Hof van Salland has been working with Booking Experts for several years and also uses Booking Boosters’ marketing services. In honour of their successful partnership, Nori spoke with owner Patricia Smeets about the park’s origins, developments and plans for the future.
From Camping to Luxury Recreation Park
Hof van Salland is a family-run business that grew out of an old campsite set in beautiful, green surroundings. The family decided to convert the campsite into a luxury recreation park, with spacious holiday homes that fit harmoniously into the landscape. Since the rental of the homes began, the park has been continuously improved and expanded. The final accommodation has now been completed, and the focus is on optimising operations and enhancing the guest experience.
Collaboration with Booking Experts
Hof van Salland was looking for a reservation system that fully reflects their identity and offers efficiency. The transition to Booking Experts went smoothly. The system is user-friendly, logically structured and easy to learn, allowing both the team and the holiday home owners to get up and running quickly.
For owners, there is a dedicated login that allows them to track rentals, place reservations and view reviews. This makes management simple and straightforward, while the front desk has fewer administrative tasks.
Efficiency through digital innovation
The park is committed to digital check in without losing personal contact. For example, guests can enter their details in advance, and payments are processed automatically. The use of the Tasks app also ensures clear communication between reception, staff and owners. This saves time and allows employees to focus fully on the guest.
Patricia emphasises:
"Digital preparations allow us at the park to have real personal contact with our guests."
The Unique Hof van Salland experience
At Hof van Salland, everything is about hospitality and luxury. The park offers spacious, fully equipped homes in green, peaceful surroundings. Personal contact and recognition through the family atmosphere are central, as are service and comfort.
Booking Experts supports this behind the scenes by efficiently automating processes such as cleaning schedules, reservations and settlements. This allows employees and owners to concentrate on what really counts: providing the guest with an unforgettable experience.
Marketing and guest experience with Booking Boosters
In addition to the reservation system, Hof van Salland works with Booking Boosters for marketing. From SEO and SEA to social media and email campaigns, everything is tailored to the guest experience. By integrating marketing, website and reservation system, a consistent and realistic expectation is created that fully reflects the park’s reality.
Patricia states:
"Guest satisfaction starts with setting expectations correctly. Booking Boosters fully understands that."
Future vision
Hof van Salland continues to invest in innovation and the guest experience. For example, work is underway on its own resort app, which will allow guests to make reservations, arrange access, place orders and more. There will also be a new pool and wellness area with breakfast facilities, so guests can truly relax and enjoy quality time.
Automation is used to support these processes, while personal contact always remains central.
Hof van Salland shows that a recreation park can perfectly combine luxury, hospitality and technology. Thanks to the cooperation with Booking Experts and Booking Boosters, operations are more efficient, while the guest experience remains optimal.
