Valkenbos X Green Stays
Valkenbos X Green Stays
Every step is one
Van der Valk Hotel Amersfoort-A1 works with Green Stay. With this concept, you as a guest can choose to make a positive contribution to the greening of the Netherlands. If you choose to skip your interim cleaning during your stay, we will plant a tree on your behalf in the Valkenbos.
About the Valkenbos
The Valkenbos is a forest of 45 hectares and has been in the Van der Valk family for 50 years. Currently, the forest is being revitalized from only coniferous trees to also include deciduous trees. Deciduous trees are better for the soil and ground, which improves the quality of the forest.
Accessibility forest
Our objective is a healthy and public forest. The forest is located in the Netherlands and therefore has a direct positive impact on the environment in the Netherlands. As a guest, you can also enjoy this nature yourself; the forest is publicly accessible and tangible. In the future, paths will be constructed allowing you to enjoy walking and cycling through this beautiful area.
By choosing our Valkenbos initiative, you play a crucial role in revitalizing the Valkenbos.
With each overnight stay without a towel change, you contribute to the reforestation of our 40-hectare forest, which has been in our possession since 1979.
Not only do you support CO2 storage - with one tree absorbing about a ton of CO2 during its life cycle - but you also strengthen our commitment to sustainable business practices.
Your decision has a direct impact: for every saving on your cleaning, we plant a new tree, contributing to our goal of planting 10,000 trees annually.
How do you choose Green Stays prior to your stay?
You will receive an email from us two days before arrival. Through this email, you can indicate that you choose Green Stays. The reception will automatically be notified and will note this in your reservation.
How do you choose Green Stays upon arrival at the hotel?
At check-in, you can inform the reception that you want to choose Green Stays.
How do you choose Green Stays during your stay?
Hang the 'Green Stays' door hanger (found in your hotel room) on the outside of your room door by 12:00 AM. Our housekeeping will then skip cleaning your room and report this to the reception for administrative processing.
