Sneijder was part of theOranjeside who surpassed expectations at the World Cup this summer as they finished third in Brazil following a 3-0 play-off win over the host nation.
Van Gaal stepped down at the end of the tournament to take over at Manchester United, with Hiddink taking charge for his second spell in an attempt to guide the team to the finals of Euro 2016 in France.
"With Louis, everything was more closed," Sneijder toldDe Volkskrant.
"I only knew Guus Hiddink as a person. The first impression is as I expected: things are more relaxed under him.
"Under Van Gaal, the atmosphere at the World Cup was perfect, though. Now, if there is laughter, it's a little bit louder.
"There is also room for relaxation but [Hiddink] is very clear and accepts no slacking."
Netherlands, who were beaten 2-0 in a friendly by Italy last time out, begin their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign against Czech Republic on Tuesday.
