After reading other reviews for Boogaard's Bed and Breakfast, we contacted Peter via his website. There was availability for our party of four. He offered us a first floor (actually one flight up in Europe!) of two bedrooms, each with ensuite bath and a living/dining/kitchen. The price included breakfast, and we found out after arrival, laundry service! His home/b&b is one block off a canal on a very quiet street; yet it was less than a 15-minute walk from the train station.

We slept beautifully each night and had the luxury of a fully-stocked fridge for breakfast each morning. Peter is quite the cook and left us home-baked goodies each day. Once it was Dutch pancakes; other days we found quiche, homemade brownies, bread pudding, etc. All delicious and this was in addition to juice, milk, yogurt, fruit, cereal, coffee, beer and soft drinks!

We toured the city each day, walking to all the major sites, Anne Frank's house is 10 minutes away. The tram was about 10 minutes the opposite direction. Amsterdam, even in late October, was a beautiful city to see, very walkable, and with something interesting around each corner.

Peter is a friendly host who enjoys his guests and treats them like friends. He offered dinner suggestions (Seasons and Thai House, as well as another restaurant--Indonesian, but I can't remember the name!). He gave us the "local" hints about sightseeing.

We had fresh towels and maid service each day. There are other rooms on a higher floor.

Our test about accomodations is always "would we stay here again?" Not only would we stay again, but we feel comfortable wholeheartedly recommending Boogaard's.

We have just returned from a wonderful 3 nights stay at boogaards b&b. as mentioned in previous reviews - this really is a beautiful b&b and really you could want for nothing more. excellent location, wonderful host (including the dogs) i think the bed is possibly the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in (pug room). food is amazing - homemade cakes during the day and wonderful breakfasts - our only disappointment was that due to an early flight home we missed breakfast on our last morning although Peter kindly provided us with cereal. excellent b&b in a beautiful city would not hesistate to recommend it to anyone, will hopefully return one day ourselves.

We chose Boogaard's Bed and Breakfast based on the reviews in TripAdvisor and it did not let us down. This was the perfect place to stay in Amsterdam. Peter was the perfect host, eager to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed Amsterdam. Our lovely and comfortable room was next to a lounge which we shared with only one other room. Here we could relax with hot or cold drinks and nibbles from a small kitchen (a nice touch).

Describing a B&B as a Home from Home is an old cliche, but sitting around the kitchen table eating a delicious breakfast while happily chatting with Peter and the other guests, made it felt like home.

It is a perfect place to stay and perfectly located. Only a 10 minute walk from the railway station, the B&B is located in the heart of some of the most beautiful canals in Amsterdam. Well placed for Anne Frank's House, all of the other sights are in walking distance or can be reached by boat or tram.

Superb restaurants and bars are all around and in walking distance, so take a stroll or ask Peter for a recommendation.

Surely the best place to stay in Amsterdam.

Have just got back from Amsterdam and 3 glorious nights at Peter Boogaard's Bed and Breakfast. Peter is such an amazing host, always helpful with great advice on the best places in the City. We stayed in the Jack Russell room which had the most comfortable bed. Between our room and the Pug room is a lounge area which has tea and Coffee facilities, comfy sofas and free internet access, not forgetting the plates of sumptuous homemade cakes left on the mantlepiece. Have to say, Peter's brownies should go down in history as being the most delicious ,chocolaty brownie you will ever eat! Oh. And let's not forget the breakfast. Every morning we were greeted with the most beautifully laid table and generous helpings of pancakes, bagels and quiches. He even accommodated my awkward request of wanting decaf tea. You could quite happily go without eating until evening. Every morning was such a sociable time to as you got to meet the other guests and chat with Peter.

Peter is not the only star of the show. A special mention has to be given to his two dogs Pepe and Curly who are the most adorable woofs you could ever wish to meet.

Peter. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home. We could not have wished for a better place to stay.
