Since 2000, Bedandbreakfast.nl has been the leading platform where a passion for small-scale stays and personal connection come together. What began as a pioneering project at a time when Google was still in its infancy has grown into a trusted partner for B&B hosts and travellers, both in The Netherlands and abroad.

Our origins

In 2000, we launched the first version of Bedandbreakfast.nl. At the time, there was no single place for owners of B&Bs, apartments, and holiday cottages to showcase their unique accommodation online. We stepped into that gap, driven by the conviction that a small-scale stay enriches any holiday.

What started with a small group of enthusiastic B&B owners has since grown into a global network of millions of accommodations. This also includes the websites Bedandbreakfast.eu and Bedandbreakfast.be. Despite this growth, our values have never changed: we are at home in small-scale hospitality.

Fair and transparent: no commissions

We believe in a sustainable sector where the human touch is central. That is why, since the launch of the website, we have made a conscious choice that makes us unique in the market: we charge zero commission.

• For guests: You book directly with the owner for the fairest price, without hidden booking fees.

• For hosts: You pay a low, fixed annual fee and retain full control over your own business operations and income, without having to hand over a share of your turnover to us.

In a world where power lies with large multinationals, our owners remain fully in control. Our platform is not built for mass hotels, but for the owners of that one special guest room, a cosy holiday cottage on the farm, or that atmospheric apartment in the heart of the city.
