Stay in the heart of the festival
Five days to dance, connect and recharge — and a warm bed waiting for you at Kasteel de Berckt. Private rooms, shared beds, camping and more, 6–10 January 2027.
Every stay, one page
Stay over at Kasteel de Berckt
Stay in the heart of Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland at Kasteel de Berckt. The estate consists of the Historic Castle and the Farmhouse — choose a private room, reserve a bed in a shared room, bring your own tent, book a camper or caravan pitch, or arrange your own stay nearby.
For the Winter Edition, we especially recommend staying indoors, with warm rooms, comfortable beds and the festival programme close by. Indoor stays are limited, so book early if you would like the comfort of a real bed and the ease of staying close to the festival.

How booking works
Winter uses a combination of entrance tickets, complete entrance-and-room packages and individual shared-bed options. Start by choosing how you would like to stay below, then follow the matching option in the ticket shop — it always shows the current availability and total price. Solo guests can select a single room, a shared-room bed or, when available, a larger room for single use.

One estate, two buildings
Kasteel de Berckt is the name of the entire festival estate. The indoor accommodation is spread across two distinct buildings: the Historic Castle and the Farmhouse. Both are part of the same festival, but their atmosphere and position on the grounds are different.
Historic Castle
The original historic accommodation building
Character — Original historic building with older architecture and individually shaped rooms
Position — A little further from the main indoor hub
Close to — Programme spaces vary by edition; see the seasonal layout below
Atmosphere — Characterful and slightly more separate from the central flow
Choose this if — You value historic atmosphere and do not mind a little more walking
Farmhouse
The newer main building
Character — Newer main building with a practical and central feel
Position — At the centre of the busiest indoor festival areas
Close to — The Main Room and food in both editions; other spaces vary by season
Atmosphere — Central, convenient and more connected to daily movement
Choose this if — You value convenience and want to stay close to meals and the main indoor programme
Neither building is better — the best choice depends on whether you prefer historic atmosphere and a little more distance, or a central position close to the main shared spaces.
The programme uses the estate differently in winter and summer. During the Winter Edition, you will find the shared spaces here:
Farmhouse
Bar and Lounge · Music Temple · Coffee Bar · Main Room for concerts and dances · Food · upstairs Massage Area · Alchemy Shop
Between the buildings
Outdoor Wellness Area

NO. 01 — INDOOR · RECOMMENDED
A Private Room of Your Own
1–4 guests · Historic Castle or Farmhouse
Choose a private room for one, two, three or four people in either the Historic Castle or the Farmhouse. Most rooms include their own bathroom with shower and toilet. Bed linen and one towel per person are included, so you can arrive, settle in and focus on the gathering.
Every room is different. Select the building and room capacity in the ticket shop, and we will allocate the exact room. If you have a preference, you may contact us after booking. We will do our best, but cannot guarantee individual room requests.
- Private room for the number of guests shown
- Historic Castle or Farmhouse
- Bed linen & one towel per person included
- Most rooms: private shower & toilet
- One room key per room
LIMITED & SPECIAL SINGLES
Simple Single Rooms
A small number of simpler single rooms are available at a lower accommodation price. Choose between a one-person room with a shared bathroom or a one-person room with its own bathroom. These rooms are limited and may sell out quickly.
Single Use of a Two-Person Room
Would you like extra space and privacy as a solo guest? A limited number of two-person rooms may be booked for single use. This option costs more because the complete room is reserved for one guest.
02
NO. 02 — INDOOR · SOLO GUESTS
A Bed in a Shared Room
5–8 or max. 3 guests · Female & male categories where listed
Travelling alone and happy to share? Reserve your own bed in a shared room and stay inside with other festival guests. You book one sleeping place, and we arrange the room allocation. Bed linen, one towel and access to a bathroom are included.
Choose the ticket that matches the room type and gender allocation shown in the ticket shop. Shared rooms are a welcoming and affordable way to stay close to the programme while helping us use the available rooms well.
- One real bed in a shared indoor room
- Standard shared rooms: 5–8 guests
- Smaller shared rooms: max. 3 guests
- Female & male categories where listed
- Bed linen & one towel included
- Building & room allocated by us
Large Female Dormitory
For the most affordable indoor winter stay, women can reserve a bed in the large shared dormitory in the Historic Castle. This female-only room accommodates more than ten guests. You will sleep indoors with a larger group and share the available bathroom facilities. Bring an open mind and respect each other’s rest.
More ways to stay
Indoor rooms are limited and sell out first. These options keep you close to the gathering — or give you more independence.
Bring Your Own Tent
Camping with your own tent is included with your Winter Edition festival ticket. It is the simplest way to stay on the estate and remain close to the gathering without booking additional accommodation. Bring your own tent and all the sleeping equipment you need for cold and potentially wet January weather.
- Camping spot included with the entrance ticket
- Bring an insulated mat & warm sleeping bag
- Shared sanitary facilities on the estate
- Prepare for low night-time temperatures
Camper or Caravan — with Electricity
Prefer to sleep in your own camper or caravan? Book a dedicated winter pitch with electricity and bring your own warm home on wheels. Pitches are limited, so reserve your vehicle place in addition to the correct festival entrance ticket.
- One camper or caravan per ticket
- Electricity included with the winter pitch
- Festival entrance ticket also required
✦
Stay Outside the Estate
You are welcome to arrange your own hotel, holiday home or B&B nearby and join the festival each day. Book an entrance ticket only, and arrive refreshed from your own place.
Arriving by car? Add the special parking ticket for guests staying outside the estate — parking on site is only available with this ticket.
Staying on site gives you the fullest festival experience, but an external stay can be a good alternative when indoor rooms are sold out or when you prefer more independence.
The little things, taken care of
Bathrooms, linen & towels
Most private rooms have their own bathroom with shower and toilet. The limited basic single room with shared bathroom and the dormitory options are exceptions. Bed linen and one towel per person are included with indoor stays. Bring an extra towel or bathrobe if you plan to use the sauna, hot tubs or wellness facilities.
Room keys
There is one key per room. If you share a room, agree together who keeps the key or leave it at the welcome desk when this service is available.
WiFi & unplugging
Free WiFi is available, but the signal is not equally strong throughout the estate. We invite you to keep phones and laptops in your room as much as possible and be fully present with the gathering.
Room allocation
You choose the accommodation type, building and capacity shown in the ticket shop. The organisation allocates the exact room. You may share a preference after booking, but individual room requests cannot be guaranteed.
Temperature
Winter rooms are indoors, but temperatures can still vary between buildings and rooms. Bring warm layers and comfortable sleepwear — an extra warm layer is always useful.
Parking & arrival
A loading and unloading zone near the main building makes for a comfortable arrival. After unloading, park your car in the designated parking area — a separate parking ticket is available in the ticket shop. On site, follow the signs and the directions of our team.

Everything you wonder
Can’t find your answer? We’re happy to help — reach out via the ticket shop or our community channels.
There is one room key per room. If you share your room with others, you can leave your key at the welcome desk downstairs.
Bed linen and one towel per person are included. An extra towel/bathrobe is recommended because of swimming/wellness.
Rooms are located in the Historic Castle — the original building, a little further from the main indoor hub — or in the Farmhouse, the newer main building at the centre of the festival. You choose the accommodation type, building and capacity in the ticket shop, and we allocate the exact room. You may share a preference after booking via connect@chocolateclub.world — we will do our best, but individual room requests cannot be guaranteed.
The Historic Castle is the original historic building, with characterful, individually shaped rooms and a position a little further from the main indoor hub. The Farmhouse is the newer main building at the centre of the festival — home to food and the Main Room in both editions. Neither building is better: choose historic atmosphere and a little more distance, or a central position close to the main shared spaces.
We have a special loading and unloading zone near the main building to ensure a comfortable arrival. After unloading your things, you can park in a designated parking spot. If you arrive on time, there’s a small car park next to the main building. Otherwise we offer plenty of parking just a five-minute walk from the location. Follow the directions of our team on site or follow the signs.
Arrival and departure days/times differ per event. We kindly refer you to the specific event page or the ticket shop, where the correct days and times are listed.
A free WiFi connection is available, but it’s not equally strong everywhere. At Chocolate Club events we promote a healthy lifestyle and awareness. We encourage you to experience our events with as little technology as possible — please leave laptops and phones in your room.
All workshops and activities take place indoors, or in a tent. Most spaces have enough open doors to keep the atmosphere as pleasant as possible.
No. Your ticket includes all workshops and activities (but excludes 1:1 sessions such as a massage).
No, children are not allowed at this festival. Instead, we tailor the program to adults (and their precious me-time). If you’re looking for a child-friendly alternative, check out our Het Grote Fijne festival at the end of the summer.
