Valkenbos X Green Stays
Van der Valk Hotel Gorinchem works with Green Stay. With this concept, you as a guest can choose to make a positive contribution to greening the Netherlands. When you choose to skip your intermediate cleaning during your stay, we will plant a tree in the Valkenbos on your behalf.
By choosing our Valkenbos initiative, you play a crucial role in revitalizing the Valkenbos.
With every overnight stay without a towel change, you contribute to the replanting of our 40-acre forest, which has been in our ownership since 1979.
Not only are you supporting CO2 sequestration - with one tree absorbing about a ton of CO2 over its life cycle - but you are also reinforcing our commitment to sustainable business practices.
Your decision has a direct impact: for every savings 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 e-mail from us two days before your arrival. Through this e-mail you can indicate that you choose Green Stays. The front desk will be automatically notified and will note this in your reservation.
How do you choose Green Stays upon arrival at the hotel?
When checking in, you can tell the front desk 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 it to the front desk for administrative processing.
