While this is our first B&B and we do not have a lot of room for comparison what I would say is that it truly lived to the hype of having a home-like experience. With a rather eclectic decor it might not be for everyone but it has a very unique and zen atmosphere. The location is great, just minutes to downtown, very quite and peaceful neighbourhood, has private parking beside the building which is a bonus considering the fully booked street spots. What stands out was the owner who showed great hospitality. We were about to try to breakfast but could not get to it due to time constraints but from what we saw it was exceptional.

It is an oversight on our end that while it was mentioned with room with a private bathroom that it would not include a private toilet. The toilet is shared with another room and while this is not really an issue for someone looking for ultimate privacy this might be an issue. No outlets to plug anything in, the only ones were hidden under the bed which was a bit of an ordeal to get devices juiced up.

The breakfast was a wonderful collection of the best items in the Netherlands. It included local cheese, meats and eggs, Poffertjes (Dutch Mini Pancakes), fruit, and fresh bread. The room was spacious with a shower, coffee/tea station, and television. B&B Habitat's owners were very accommodating and recommended local eateries and sites. These were spot on and did not disappoint. This establishment is highly recommended for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Not apply - Everything was great.

The communication before arriving was excellent. After a warm welcome we discovered our room furnished in a special and original design. The bathroom was excellent and the fact that the toilet is outside of the room was for us not a problem at all. The highlights of the accomodation: Kindness of Frederiek, cosy room, free parking place, calm area, good tips and an excellent breakfast to have a good start in the day. So we did really appreciate our stay and will come back for a longer period cause there is a lot to discover in the area: Haarlem, Alkmaar, Zandijk,…) . Thank You very much to Frederiek for the Great stay. Tania & Rudi

Nothing

I felt extremely welcome and comfortable staying here. I had a delay with the trains coming from Denmark, and it was a relief that the owner, Frederiek, communicated well and responded in a timely manner to my messages. I was greeted immediately upon arrival and was also given advice for places to go and what to see during my stay. The room was very clean and I had my own private toilet right outside the room.

The private toilet was right outside of my room, which I did not mind unless it was at night since the front door was also right outside my room and made of glass. Felt a little uncomfortable going out at night in my sleeping attire since there was no curtain/blinds on the door.

Cosy room and fantastic breakfast experience: in addition to the delicious food, it was an excellent opportunity to share some time with the wonderful host, very attentive and helpful. The private parking was also appreciated. The shared toilet was not a problem at all: perfectly clean and only shared with another room, it was like sharing the toilet at home.

The default breakfast time is 9am, which may be a bit too late for some guests. Fortunately, the host agreed to let us have breakfast a bit earlier. Eating your own food at the B&B (e.g. for diner) is possible but could be more confortable: a shared little fridge and microwave are available at the entrance hall, but there is no shared dining room (the breakfast table is in the host's private area). A little portable table is available on demand.

A beautiful room, nice and quiet. Location is very good, it’s walking distance from the train station and from a bus stop to go to the beach. There are also many restaurants close by. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Microwave and refrigerator are a big plus.

Personally I would have preferred a toilet in the room.

The hotel is actually a huge house, where the owner lives; downstairs are rooms and upstairs it is the owners' flat. The house has its own style - it is a beautiful piece of art! Among others Fornasetti can be found. The owner is very hostable, you will feel like you truly entered a Dutch home.

The house has a bit of a funky smell. It is close to Amsterdam only with a car.

It was a great pleasure to be there, truly. I found this place so good and heavy of great ideas (-: Very comfy bed. Nice and clean bathroom. Water boiler and coffee express were in the room - plenty of choice for tea too. The breakfast was insanely great - Frederieke made it herself and really liked it! The place is close to train station, cinema, plenty of good restaurants and shops.

I had a wonderful stay at this B&B! The highlight of my experience was the warm hospitality of the owner, who made me feel truly welcome from the moment I arrived. Their kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy and friendly place to stay!

Frederika has a great attention to most details including things like a comfy bed, nice robe, face products and face mask. There were two great restaurants within a 10 minute walk. De Open Keuken was my favorite. She was very helpful with suggestions and even offered me a ride to Amsterdam as she was on her way the day I left. My only regret is not taking her up on breakfast. I'm sure it would have been amazing!

I was told the key would be under the mat since she would not be home. I had to call on my phone which I never use unless emergency. I now realize I could have texted her for free. 🤦🏻‍♀️ She happened to be home and all was well. I'm not a fan of having to leave my room to go to the bathroom. I always feel like I have to get dressed. 😅 But not a big deal.
