I loved visiting the ten Boom house in Haarlem many times when I lived in the Netherlands! The house was located about a block from--and practically within sight of--the Gestapo headquarters in Haarlem Centrum, the town square! I was amazed at this each time I walked from the house to the town square. I still never lose the wonder of... more

Wanted to visit this as there's not much else in Haarlem, and the kids thought it would be interesting. The door was locked and a notice and clock stated next english tour 12.30pm, we returned then and the clock had been moved to state next english tour 2.30pm. We returned at 2.15pm not wanting to miss out and the clock... more

I have a specific interest in the social history of the Second World War and so was very much looking forward to this visit. The house and the story are interesting enough but the actual facts were lost in the evangelising and hypothesis. Apparently it was a "miracle" that a Bible was smuggled in to a camp; that four of... more

There is no fee to visit this Museum. It is a place that leaves you with ponderings that are positive despite the context of terribleness. I recommend the movie, the books and the Museum! To visit the Corrie ten Boom Museum made the effort and the expense worthwhile, in our going to Haarlem. more

My husband and I stopped in Haarlem on our way to Amsterdam to see the Corrie Ten Boom House. Unfortunately, the lockers at the train station did not allow us to pay by coin and we were having problems with our credit card. We went to the Tourist office and they were so nice. They let us store our luggage... more

Having met Corrie Ten Boom when I was a child, I was very excited to go and see the world that she spoke about. It is a very informative experience. Yes there is an evangelical message that goes with the tour but considering the message is forgiveness and love in such despair and hate, it is not offensive and really... more

The Corrie Ten Boom House visit was much more inspirational than the Anne Frank House, especially for people of faith. We probably enjoyed this the best of anyplace we visited on our trip to Holland. The small group guided tour was very detailed and the commentary very moving. We highly recommend a visit. more

My husband and I have visited this wonderful house at least seven times. We came so many times that the guide recognized us on one of our visits and they were about a year apart. As you sit in the living and listen to the guide, you feel like you are an expected guest. The guide and tour are unhurried... more

The reviews so far range from "disgraceful" to "wonderful". Mine is somehwere in between. The house provides an interesting insight into life under the Nazis but I felt the guide, who told stories of Corrie ten Boom and her family, was not as objective as she might have been and was constantly putting her own religious spin on the stories.... more

Wonderful!

I have loved the story of the Hiding Place for many years. I'm Dutch by background but had never visited the Netherlands until last month. My husband, who has been several times for business, had a few ideas. The Rijksmuseum? The Keukenhof gardens? Well, those sounded great, but the one place I really longed to see was Haarlem, and Corrie... more
