By using the guide you agree to them. The guide is run by **netpeople.be**, Vlaanderenstraat 23, 8400 Oostende, Belgium (VAT BE0885138658). ## About the guide Ostend City Guide is an independent, English-language guide to Ostend. It is not the official tourism service of the city. We take care to keep the information accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee that every detail (such as prices, opening hours or availability) is always correct. Please check directly with a business or organiser before you travel, visit or book. ## Listings and submissions - Being listed is free. Businesses and organisers can submit a listing or event through a free account, and we review every submission before it goes live. - We may edit, decline, hold or remove any listing at our discretion — for example if it is inaccurate, incomplete, duplicated or not a good fit for the guide. - By submitting content you confirm that the details are accurate, that you are entitled to submit them, and that they do not infringe anyone else's rights. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to display, adapt (for formatting and length) and promote that content within the guide and its channels. - If something about a listing is wrong, you can suggest an edit on the listing or [contact us](/contact/), and you can [claim a listing](/claim-your-listing/) to manage it. ## Your account You are responsible for the activity on your account and for keeping your login details safe. Please give accurate information and keep it up to date. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or are used for abuse. ## Acceptable use When using the guide, you must not: - submit false, misleading or fraudulent information, or spam; - post unlawful, infringing, offensive or harmful content; - scrape, copy or bulk-extract content, or try to interfere with or disrupt the site; or - use the guide in any way that breaks applicable law. ## Intellectual property The guide's editorial content, design, logo and brand are owned by netpeople.be or its licensors. You may view and share pages for your personal, non-commercial use, but you may not copy or republish substantial parts of the guide without our permission. Photographs are used with permission and credited where applicable. ## Links to other websites The guide links to external websites that we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices; visiting them is at your own risk. ## Liability The guide is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss arising from reliance on the information in the guide or from its unavailability. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Belgian law, including your rights as a consumer. ## Changes to these terms We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows the current version. Continuing to use the guide after a change means you accept the updated terms. ## Governing law These terms are governed by Belgian law. Any dispute will be brought before the courts competent for the registered office of netpeople.be, without affecting any mandatory rights you have as a consumer. ## Contact netpeople.be, Vlaanderenstraat 23, 8400 Oostende, Belgium — [info@ostendcityguide.com](mailto:info@ostendcityguide.com). ## Newly added to the guide - [![](https://ostendcityguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/imgi_26_thai16-1-300x65.webp)Thai Bangkok Pub,Restaurant · Centre](https://ostendcityguide.com/where-to-eat/thai-bangkok-pub/) - [![](https://ostendcityguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/la-nonne-blanche-warm-double-room-300x225.webp)La Nonne BlancheB&B · Centre](https://ostendcityguide.com/where-to-stay/la-nonne-blanche/) - [![](https://ostendcityguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/apotheek-oostende-300x200.webp)Apotheek MeulemeesterPharmacy · Centre](https://ostendcityguide.com/shopping/apotheek-meulemeester-ostend/) - [![](https://ostendcityguide.com/wp-content/uploads/ocg-pharmacy/apotheek-descamps-ostend-300x105.webp)Apotheek DescampsPharmacy · Centre](https://ostendcityguide.com/shopping/apotheek-descamps-ostend/) - [![](https://ostendcityguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/20200524_185301_LR-225x300.webp)Apotheek De OlifantPharmacy · Centre](https://ostendcityguide.com/shopping/apotheek-de-olifant-ostend/) [Add your business](https://ostendcityguide.com/add-to-the-guide/) Advertisement For businesses Reach visitors who are planning their trip to Ostend.
