Truckstop Venlo in Wijk 28 Trade-Port

The parking lot itself is not bad. But there is an older lady who is terribly aggressive with everyone, I don't think she belongs here because I think she is here to get as many guests as possible to come into the restaurant. Not to punch everyone in the face. She doesn't belong here because it shows that she doesn't know how to deal with people. I am not alone in this opinion.

I don't know what that elderly lady is doing in a place like this... her behavior is incredibly rude and demeaning! If you have a problem with people, don't work in a place like this! I wanted to look at the menu, but she simply snatched it out of my hands because I hadn't yet decided whether to eat in or take the food away—I wanted to check the menu before deciding! The shower costs 3 euros, but you have to hurry because the water only runs for five minutes and the pressure is very weak. The restaurant opens at 10 a.m., so until then, there are only five stalls available for over two hundred people to take care of their business! I spent two and a half days here and paid 52.50 euros, yet that didn't even include a shaorma—I had to pay an extra 12 euros for that. The place is a joke; unless you absolutely have to, don't come here—stop in Germany instead.

I paid 35e and didn't get any discount on the food. Arrogant staff with a strange order. After lunch I paid at the cashier, and in the evening when I came for a glass of beer and didn't order food, I already have to pay for the first one, so if I want a second one, do I have to go and pay again? but if I want snacks then everything is ok, like a normal person I will pay before leaving 😂

Parking is 17.50 and doesn't offer you anything, if you want to take a shower you have to pay separately and for food you have to consume 18 to receive an 8 euro discount

The staff's brutal attitude towards drivers

We arrived at 12:00 AM. There were some free spots right by the fence, but the machine said they were all taken. Two trucks pulled out while I was there, but there still wasn't a spot. Intercom wasn't responding.

The machine didn't give me a receipt for the parking fee, so I asked the staff, and they politely sent me away...

It's a complete disaster, you definitely can't sleep until morning because of the noise from the refrigerator, and then they come and stand next to you, disrespectfully, they don't let you sleep at all. I wouldn't come to this park again, even if it were free.

Plenty of space, clean showers (€3) I recommend the shawarma platter. A large plate of fries and a separate bowl of salad.

The staff was extremely rude, at 8pm there was no more food on offer. For €17.50 there is not even a voucher included. I think the owners should take these shortcomings into account and especially the attitude towards the customer. Even though there is no voucher, at least the employees can treat the customers who help them earn their monthly salary more politely.

17.50€ parking bathroom 3€ restaurant at 20:00 not open no food voucher nothing

I have a very bad experience with this parking. The parking fee is 17:50 euro and there is an 8 euro food discount but it’s pointless the food price have been set very high.you can get it from any gas station at the same price and parking is free. This parking, the kitchen here close after 8 pm . You can pay for parking fee but there is no discount food voucher and that the discount voucher is cannot be used next day . This is a bizarre situation. Something I have never encountered anywhere else in Europe; in fact driver often have their dinner after 8pm.

Not worth the money Our experience at this truck stop was unfortunately very disappointing. You are not allowed to sit inside the restaurant unless you buy something, which is already quite annoying. The food is also very expensive and, in our opinion, definitely not worth the price because it did not taste good. You also have to pay €1 to use the toilet, even though you already have to pay to enter the truck stop. That feels unnecessary and frustrating. What made the experience even worse was one of the staff members. A lady yelled at us when we entered because we did not know about the current entrance rules. The last time we visited, entering was free, so we genuinely thought it was still the same. We would have understood if she had simply explained the new rules, but the way she spoke to us was very rude and unfriendly. Overall, the expensive food, the extra charges and the unfriendly service made this a very unpleasant experience. We definitely expected much better and would not recommend this place.

The parking lot is decent, well-lit, with security cameras, a restaurant, free toilets and showers, and it's quiet. You can get water. I took off a star for the timed shower fee, even though the parking itself is a paid one. The cost is €17.50, and there's no refund on food.

Very disappointing experience This truck stop was a really disappointing experience. You cannot simply sit inside the restaurant unless you actually buy something there, which feels unreasonable. On top of that, you have to pay €1 just to use the toilets, even though you already have to pay to enter the truck stop in the first place. The staff experience was also very unpleasant. A lady working there yelled at us when we entered, even though we genuinely did not know that the rules had changed. The last time we visited, entering was free, so we naturally assumed it was still the same. Instead of explaining the situation calmly, she spoke to us in a very unfriendly and rude way. The food in the restaurant is also overpriced and, unfortunately, did not taste good at all. Considering the prices, we expected much better quality. Overall, the whole experience felt like you were constantly being charged for everything. The prices were high, the food was not good, and the staff member's attitude made the experience even worse. Definitely not a place we would recommend.

I went to use the restroom, but it turned out to be a pay-to-use one. I didn’t know that because it had been free the last time I was there. Suddenly, a woman rushed out, started yelling at me, and began pushing me.

A very good and spacious parking lot! Very friendly staff, hot showers 3 euros, very clean toilets for free, free wireless in the parking lot!

Teach the cashier proper behavior or replace her. Drivers aren't animals, we're customers, and we treat them politely. This is my third time here. It's disgraceful. If she's unhappy with her life, it's not the customer's fault. Then she shouldn't leave the register during business hours. She needs to learn to be responsible. I don't think there are any other people like her in the world.

Paid parking, monitored by dozens of cameras, fenced with barbed wire, and at the gate you'll receive a receipt stating that Truckstop is not responsible for any damage or theft - what's going on?!?

There's everything a driver needs: a shower, toilet, and a place to get water.

I didn't eat in the cafeteria. I stayed away from the garbage disposal. Refuges were everywhere, and the concrete fence increased the noise, bouncing off the walls multiple times. And the main question: how do I get out of here through the turntable on a bike?

I was there on a weekday, and there's plenty of room even in the evening. Parking is €17.50, and you get €8 for food. I had to pay an extra €12.75 for the spare ribs, but it was worth it—they were incredibly delicious.

16.5 euros just for parking, free toilet. Staff is very rude!!!

Very friendly service, delicious breakfast, and everything very clean. Great, highly recommended.

There's nothing to say, it's just crap, no discounts, outrageous prices, rude staff, and food. I should have read the reviews of this place right away. One star only for the water, toilet, and parking space.

Shower should be free or add it to the parking fee.

Friendly and humorless atmosphere, thought someone had died

In my opinion, the parking is disgusting. Just drive in and play the game to find a spot. The refs park wherever they want, even though there are supposed to be designated spots for them. The restaurant is a whole new level of ignorance and rudeness. You pay for parking, and you're supposed to have extra for food, but they said no. When I asked why, it says on their website that 8 euros can be used for food. She said with such a disgruntled expression, "You paid for parking, but you have to pay extra for food." I asked again, "Should I pay extra?" She said no, it wouldn't be free. She was all nervous and showed her displeasure with everything, as if she had to do her job. I won't go to court again!

Good Wi-Fi, toilet, water, no food, 3 showers, so-so

A typical paid place with a price of 17.50. As for the food, well, I've never had such good food in Holland, the staff are pleasant, I didn't notice any negative things.

I was here for the first time, a very unpleasant and rude male employee at the cash register after we sat down at a table in the restaurant after a shower he immediately ran up and started telling us what we were going to drink we didn't understand him because we didn't speak Dutch after that he got mad and ran to the kitchen, I went to the cash register to pay for parking this man came up to me and was very unhappy, after paying I asked if the check for payment in the restaurant was valid for a discount he rudely replied that it wasn't even though I tried to talk to him in English but he only spoke Dutch showing me that he didn't understand me my colleague and I just left there. Have respect for the drivers thanks to whom you have a job we can't speak all the languages ​​of the countries we visit. But after reading the previous reviews I realized that this situation has been happening here for years but I don't understand why the owners don't react. I wish the staff to get the same attitude in the countries they will visit. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

17.50 euros per night... there's nothing in it... shower 3 euros for 5 minutes, water is token-operated. No voucher for the bar. Large, easy to park. That's it. Nothing special. I think 17 euros could have been something to use at the bar or a free shower for the driver...

The parking is very good, there are no words!

There's so much information out there. I've got a story. I paid for two days, but they only gave me an €8.50 discount. I asked why, not for two days, and he said yes. One day, one discount. Either those are the rules, or they're scamming me.

I don't recommend it to anyone, especially on weekends, the shower is no longer usable at 8:45 PM, the staff is a jerk, parking is a lot of money and you also have to pay for the shower, which lasts a maximum of 5 minutes. At night, you can use the toilet outside in a container, because the restaurant part is closed, that's a total of 4 toilets, I think for more than 100 drivers, the restaurant opens at 10:00 AM on Sunday, you can stand in line until then, because many people get there in the morning. I avoid it if I can.

The Wi-Fi isn't even working. I'll avoid this parking lot whenever possible. It's not good. What kind of food refunds are you talking about, guys? It's just parking and that's it.

August 15th at 1:45 PM The gentleman at the restaurant wouldn't let me read the menu, I was sitting at a table. He tried to force me to order. My appetite for food vanishes after such arrogance, and I had to leave. It's strange that this person would do this again and still work there. I was told it was okay, because I was leaving the establishment. I haven't encountered such behavior anywhere in Europe, anywhere a customer wants to leave euros. What standards does the boss have for such an employee?

Friday night, no Dutch people, but the entire Eastern Bloc in the parking lot, but the food was simple yet good, and the service was friendly 👍

Mustachioed cashier, why are you there if you don't know English? If you only speak Dutch then leave the parking lot only for Dutch people, why do you need other customers?

For the uninitiated or those who find this difficult (I saw some today): you pay €17.50 for parking, sit down at a table, someone comes up to you, you place your order (as I understand it, it's at least €17.50 to get the €8 discount), eat, and then go to the cashier with the receipt they gave you when you ordered your meal. You also present the parking receipt and pay with the discount. I don't recommend the Hungarian schnitzel; you'll be disappointed. There's a menu in Russian.

The parking is great. But the staff's attitude toward drivers is absolutely terrible. It feels like drivers owe them something. Besides just paying for parking. Staff, please be decent to the drivers!

All in all, a very good truck park. It has excellent, clean toilets, showers and a restaurant. There are two things that unfortunately spoil it a little: one is that the truck park is situated next to a rubbish tip, which means that, unfortunately, a foul stench often wafts through the car park, and it’s overrun with flies during the summer months.

Incredibly rude waitress. Woman with glasses and dark hair. Big mouth towards customers. Big mouth towards foreign drivers. Very unprofessional and not customer-oriented at all. Doesn't understand half of what you say, and if you repeat it louder, the lady gets angry and starts arguing with you. Seems to be getting worse here every time.

It fills up quickly in the evening. There's an unpleasant smell outside, and water is available at the entrance to the restaurant. You pay for parking there, or you can pay for the restaurant. Trucks are parked mixed in, and a refrigerated truck might park nearby. I paid 17.50 for parking, bought 20 euros worth of food (a large portion), and got an 8.50 euro discount. A shower costs an additional 3 euros, and they give you a token. The restrooms are free. If you speak English, you can communicate with the staff; they're quite friendly and have a sense of humor, but if you don't understand anything, they won't treat you very well.

Parking payment by card, UTA, DKV possible. Shower is paid and dirty

The owner is stingy, the showers are paid, the parking lot stinks among the dumps, and the showers are paid. There's no ticket for food, just an 8-euro discount on the exorbitant price! Only come here out of desperation!

I haven't eaten here yet The shower has hot water and is clean Regarding washing machines and dryers I put the clothes in the washing machine and when should I take them out to put them in the dryer, the lady with glasses had already selected the dryer and I selected another program and she came to kick me out and tell me to never touch that again, to stick to what she selected and why would I touch it if I don't know what the programs mean. I had selected a better program so they wouldn't come out wrinkled Honestly, I was a little scared of her. She could have explained it differently, not like that

There are many mixed reviews, but few mention the presence of a waste processing plant... Well, if the wind blows from that direction, your stay at this campsite will turn into hell. The stench is terrible. Personally, I was unlucky. Everything else is described in detail in the comments.

Nice place to be, plenty showers and clean toilets. Nice foods especially thier big burger 🍔 and chips🍟

A normal autohof!!! The food is delicious!! The portions are large👍

Clean, free toilets, 3 euro showers, but open until 10 p.m., after that I think it's open outside. I didn't use the food stalls, but you can get water, and the DKV is working.

A large parking lot where it's hard not to find a spot, except it's full of flies. You can't sit with the windows open because the flies invade you.

The tarpaulin was cut open there, so there was no proper surveillance.

Nothing fancy. Clean restrooms are a plus. No frigo zone. Without any other options, parking is an option…

Quiet, secure parking, payment by DKV card.

It's a good truck stop . Their food is smart and properly prepared.

The parking lot itself is excellent. Clean, off-the-beaten-path, and safe. I paid €17.50 for UTA, but €8.50 is for food, which can be used if you order a dish worth €17.50 or more. Showers are €3 and require a token (about 6 minutes). Good Wi-Fi is available throughout the premises.

Large parking lot 17.50 euros for 24 hours. Clean, tidy.

It's expensive and they don't give a food voucher.

There's always room, it's expensive, but also meticulous.

I was in the parking lot and came across a rude bartender, as if he was working as a punishment. He ignored me when I spoke to him at the register. He turned around and left. I sat down at a table and waited for him to come over and ask for my order. Then I did the same. I ignored him, got up without a word, and left, but he had a nice face. He was very surprised.

A typical, useless barn with endless parking spaces for 17.50 euros per day... the price only includes a running water tap and a free toilet. Of course, you have to pay extra for all the bed-and-breakfast amenities (namely, a shower is 3 euros and a washing machine is 6+3). The staff are extremely unpleasant, most of whom are pensioners, apparently born with a grudge against international drivers and therefore behave extremely unfriendly. I wish everyone would avoid this rotten place.

I would like to speak with the manager of this parking lot. There is a bad person working in your restaurant. It is our fault that we come to your parking lot and your employees did not treat me well. I would like to speak with you.

Very large parking lot. Plenty of space. You'll definitely find a spot even after 8 PM. 17.50 per day. Free toilet. Shower 3.00 euros. MINUS! There's no designated area for Frigo.

The shower should be included in the price of parking.

Frank the man behind serving was a top man 👍

The parking lot is clean and safe, the restrooms are well-maintained and free. The big downside to this place is that there's no Frigo zone. They park wherever they can, even when there aren't many trucks in the lot (as if deliberate). The second downside is that unpleasant guy in the restaurant with glasses. I once had an argument with him because he mishandled my parking fee, and when I pointed this out, he started barking, making him very rude.

Large, camera-covered parking lot, ok, no problem, but for 17.30 euros, only the toilet and water are free, shower 3 euros, 3 minutes is ridiculous

Hello, the parking lot is fine, but if you want to leave, for example, on Sunday morning at 4:00, no one will help you, even by calling the intercom or 112. I had trouble leaving this parking lot. After paying, I scanned the tag at the exit, and the gate didn't open. I don't know why. I called from 4:10 until 6:40 and there was silence, no one answered the phone, then at 6:45 the gate opened by itself. Please inform the owner that drivers also work at night and in the morning, and the person is obliged to answer the phone when on duty. He should answer the phone and help the person. And she's sleeping soundly, and the driver is blocked in the gate.

Previously a good parking lot, now a parking area for DSV trailers, so there is nowhere to park on weekends in the late hours, you will still be let in by a machine when entering a full parking lot and you have to pay 1.80 Euro when leaving!

I happened to come here two days in a row. The first day the bami dish was a bit disappointing because of only one small satay stick, but the second day the shawarma dish was really top-notch👍 large portion including a plate of salad, really good value for money👌 tasty ice cream sundae for dessert and a good pint of beer👌 sufficient and clean showers for only 3.- and if you park in the spacious large parking lot👌 you get an 8.- discount on the food. You can ask for a separate receipt at the cashier for parking and for the food so that you can claim your parking ticket from your employer, provided they pay for it, as mine fortunately does, because that is actually how it should be👊

Could you please explain how I should interpret this situation? I was in this parking lot a week ago. I paid for nine hours, paid immediately by card, and received a restaurant voucher for 8 euros. I even paid the rest with my own money. Today, the situation is exactly the same: I paid for nine hours again, but I didn't receive any voucher. This is far from the first time something like this has happened at this particular parking lot. I would like a clear explanation: what are the rules for issuing these vouchers? Or are they issued selectively, depending on the mood of the employees? Please explain why, with identical payment conditions, a voucher is issued in one case and not in another. When will they take action against these incompetent restaurant employees?

A great caravan park for a break. We drive up to the gate, take a ticket, and keep it until departure. Payment is made at the parking meter or at the restaurant's cash register. The cost is calculated before departure. Everything you need is available: a shower, washing machine, and toilet. Water can be collected at the restaurant entrance. Seven kilometers away is the beautiful city of Venlo, where you can have a great time, go shopping, and explore the sights of a city whose history dates back over 2,000 years. There are bike paths for cycling and walking. Have a great holiday and weekend, everyone! Zhenya Batim 🖤✝

The parking lot is clean, but the waste recycling fence stinks. It feels like a prison cell needs a few towers. There's nowhere to go, and Lidl or Aldi are 6 km away. I don't recommend it, in my opinion, the worst parking lot in NL.

You should fire the cafe staff, disrespectful attitude towards customers, everything that was written in the reviews before is true, it may depend on the shift

I paid €17.50 for parking at a restaurant, but before paying, I asked the employee for advice on how things worked there. He said nothing, punched the receipt, and said, "That's it!" When I asked about the discount on the menu, he said no, like, "What do you want?" "You only paid for one day!" "You're not entitled to a discount." What a disgrace.

Wonderful place offering everything you need

The parking is super secure and ok. The restaurant staff, if you are not Dutch, you can tell by the way they treat you. They are colder and more insensitive. But that's it... You get €8.50 off the food out of the €17.

The employee on duty the day we were there was very rude and unfriendly, the shower was overpriced at 3 euros for 5 minutes, but the shower was good, and the parking lot was also good and spacious! What spoils it are the people who work there, a shame! And the smell in the parking lot isn't pleasant either because of the presence of a landfill nearby!

If you don't speak Dutch they treat you very rudely and argue with you over trivial things 1st and last time I'll stay here

Top rest stop, clean, good food, can be booked in advance or directly on site, UTA accepted 👍

Very good truck stop and nice and clean with friendly staff 👌

I hope the Truck Parking management will read and respond to this comment. Unfortunately, recently it has become increasingly common to encounter alcohol consumption, disturbances during nighttime hours, disorderly behavior, and loud music from some drivers in your parking area, which significantly affects the ability to rest and relax. Dear Management, please pay attention to this negative trend and take the necessary measures to ensure peace, order, and quiet in the parking area for all visitors. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to see improvements.

The food was acceptable; after complaining about fried potatoes but chicken breast burnt on one side, there was no reaction. The ice cream for dessert wasn't really tasty either, but the staff was truly top-notch.

A great place for a long-term vacation. There's a bus stop one kilometer away, and it's easy to get to Venlo by bus.

Irreproachable. Congratulations!

The food was good but the staff was very rude and racist especially the old lady at the cashier.... I asked if the price of consumption in the restaurant 19.75 also includes parking, she answered me in Dutch with a tone as if she was scolding me 😂 I don't know what the hell she said... but she made me crazy with the money 19.50 for the food and separately 17.50 for parking... first and last time I come here!

Frigos are usually parked at the end of the car chargers (one facing forward, one facing backward, etc.). If you pay inside, you have 24 hours to leave. If you pay at the machine, you have 10 minutes to leave. The amount is the same in both cases. The toilets are clean and free (bring a towel; there are no paper ones). The showers are clean, but you have to pay.

What a terrible parking lot! You pay for parking, and then you pay for the timed showers too! Definitely don't come here unless you absolutely have to.

There's a large parking lot. On weekends after 5 p.m. you won't find a space. Parking is paid.

The worst parking lot in Holland, zero service, zero respect for drivers. Refrigerators are parked in the parking lot without any proper clearance, so it's hard to even get a break! The eight-euro discount at the restaurant doesn't apply to the entire menu, only to dishes over 17 euros, and it doesn't even apply to drinks! In short, it's complete crap! The staff looks like they were recruited from prisons; they're rude, argumentative, and look like they've eaten lemons. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Hello drivers, I arrived this morning and had many options, so I took advantage of the amenities inside. The showers are nice, costing 3 euros. You have to inform the cashier that you want to shower, otherwise you won't have water in the shower. The washing machines are small, they only grind up to 5kg, so a few clothes and one towel fit. It costs 6 euros for a wash without a dryer, and 9 euros with a dryer. The kitchen is so-so, with meat thrown on the stove without any effort. French fries from the stand are dry and cool in 10 minutes. There's no small shop selling truck supplies, maybe because thieves rule the world and we'll never develop. So what's left is the lack of development due to the policies of the locals and the government ;) I rate the place and cleanliness a 10 out of 10. Have a nice day 👍

Parking is okay, food is also okay

Hi everyone! Yes, the DKV is 17.50 euros, 8 of which is for the cafe. The food is acceptable, the portions are good (except for the soup, which comes with a cat bowl, but I wouldn't recommend it). The shower is 3 euros, timed: press the shower head, lather up, press the shower head, rinse off—that's it! There's a washing machine. You can get water for free near the cafe entrance! All the best!

Great parking 🅿️, safe, has all the amenities, payment by bank card, DKV card.

Worst parking ever, the lady at the register its very arrogant

You pay 17.50€ for the parking. 8.50€ can be used as a voucher, I think for food only inside the restaurant... The facility is new, hygiene is good. The big issue is the staff. The woman who greets you at the cash register is really very impolite and rude, but the woman who serves was the total opposite - very polite and kind! There are eight electric charging stations for trucks.

A large truck parking area with approximately 250-300 spaces, fully monitored, with electrical hookups and charging stations, and relatively clean sanitary facilities. A major drawback is the limited number of toilets available (a total of 4) at night in the sanitary container, and 6 during the day in the restaurant, which are closed alternately. This leads to long waiting times for the toilets 👿 and, depending on where you park, a 6-8 minute walk can be quite challenging. The restaurant staff was friendly, the food was tasty, and you even get a discount if you present your parking ticket. While we had a relatively quiet stay, we probably won't return if possible. Furthermore, although it's forbidden to park trailers and occupy another parking space with the tractor unit, which is supposed to result in a fine, it doesn't seem to be properly enforced, let alone punished. Unfortunately, this makes parking even more difficult.

I arrived on Friday evening, paid, and they didn't give me a discount on the restaurant. I came up a second time and said I paid for parking, where is the discount on the restaurant? To which an arrogant, impolite man in glasses replied that 17.50 was for parking and there were no discounts on the restaurant. Although on Wednesday, a colleague was there and the woman at the checkout without a word offered him 8 euros for the restaurant. In short, they are cheating and it stinks, there is a waste processing plant nearby.

Big parking lot, there's a blonde lady who knows how to serve customers!!! But she's a bitch who only has nerves when customers leave TRUCK VENLO TAKE ACTION WITH THE LADY AT THE DRIVER, SHE'S JUST A BITCH!!!
