Congratulations to Van der Valk Sassenheim Leiden!
This location has successfully completed its recertification.
Van der Valk Sassenheim–Leiden is a true family business (now in its 4th generation!) with a rich history and is exceptionally well suited as a business meeting venue. The three core values they consciously strive for are: creating that wow feeling, making guests feel at home, and ensuring a sense of well-being. According to our auditor, these three pillars are once again fully delivered — making recertification more than deserved.
The WOW feeling from the moment you arrive
Auditor Simone Verdaasdonk was immediately impressed upon arrival:
“The professional hospitality, the interior design, the presentation of food and drinks, the overall atmosphere, and the ample parking facilities — everything feels right the moment you arrive. The personal touch completes the experience: the sales team is literally visible on the website, making them instantly recognisable upon arrival. And it’s wonderful to see the same familiar faces again after two years — a true sign of good employment practices.”
Banquet Sales Manager Annemiek Vingerling-Timmerman is very pleased with the recertification:
“Our efforts have been rewarded: in 2025 we further improved our YOIN score compared to 2023 — a wonderful confirmation of our trusted Toucan quality!”
Once again, congratulations on this great achievement! 🎉
