We have just returned fro a 2 night stay at Boogaards. From the moment you walk through the door you feel very much at home. Peter is a brilliant host. The room (Pug Room) was comfortable, with an adjoining lounge area, tea and coffee making facilities, and cold drinks for your day trips.

Breakfasts are a different theme every day. We had Dutch pancakes one day and New York bagels with salmon and cream cheese on another. Everything has that personal touch and nothing is too much for Peter.

Boogaards is ideally located to get to most attractions on foot with an abundance of eateries close by.

Just returned from a BENELUX trip. Our first three nights were at Boogaard's B&B. What a wonderful place! Peter was so welcoming and warm. The place very cozy, very relaxing. The decor was excellent. Peter prepared some outstanding, sumptuous breakfasts for us. After ALOT of walking around Amsterdam, coming back to Boogaard's was so relaxing. We were with another couple so our two rooms shared a common area. We would sit on the comfortable chairs and couch, have a glass of wine and just kick back.

Bottom line, it was just a superb place to stay. Peter is a magnificent host.

Would recommend this place again!!!

This place is fantastic. This might honestly be the best hotel I've stayed in, in Europe. Now, I know it's not a hotel, but it's far more than just a bed and breakfast.

First off, the location is terrific. A mere 5 minute walk from the Centraal Station and located right by the Singel, you're close to a ton of things to do. And the building is beautiful, the street is beautiful. So many cities have that old world charm, but Amsterdam is on high. And this place is a great place to see it from.

The rooms were neat, well-kept, charming, homey and comfortable. There were actually days when we could have happily just stayed n the room all day.

In part, that's because the room opens on to a common area with sofas and chairs, a computer with free internet access, a bookcase filled with guidebooks, and, best of all, a mini-kitchen.

The kitchen is constantly stocked with complimentary water, sodas, etc. There's teas, coffee, hot chocolate. Pretty much anything you'd want or need.

And I haven't even mentioned the breakfast which is made fresh daily, is different every day, and quickly became on of my favorite parts of the day.

Lastly, is Peter and Thomas. They are Boogaard's and they're great! Natives of the Netherlands, any question can be answered. Their suggestions for places to go, how to get there, restaurants to eat at were terrific.

On top of all that, each day, in the common area, fresh baked cakes or muffins. This place is like staying with the most hospitable, welcoming, gracious friends that just want you to enjoy your trip. I can't wait to go back to Amsterdam and stay at Boogaard's again!

My husband and I just returned from Amsterdam a few days ago. Amsterdam has always been our favorite destination, and Boogaard's just became our favorite place to stay. We stayed in the Dalmatian Room, on the second floor, which faced the back and was quiet and delightful. The room was well furnished and clean with private bath. On the same floor is the Boxer Room, and a shared living room and fully equipped kitchen.
Peter, our host, is full of life, humor and information. He's also a great cook (breakfast was great, menu changes daily) and baker (fresh apple or chocolate cake waited for us upstairs every afternoon.)
De Laangestraat is a great location. Situated between Singel and Herengracht, it's within walking distance to every tourist attraction and public transportation. The street itself is charming the way only an Amsterdam street can be: 400-year-old buildings that are lived-in and perfectly maintained.
We had a great time, slept well on the comfortable beds, and felt lucky we found Boogaard's. We can't wait to go back.
