Rieneke and her helper were fantastic. Location of the place is fantastic. Price is slightly higher comparing to Mya B&B but it comes with a proper good bathroom. However the bathroom in our room still had a down side which is that it's right next to the breakfast room. So other guests can hear you in the morning while they... More

Really enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend. Reneke was more than helpful. Breakfast, taken in the room as there is no dining room, is brought to you on trays, at exactly the time that suits you. They were delicious. A full and generous continental breakfast. The room was somewhat cluttered, therefore not much storage space. Just a couple of... More

My wife and I stayed in Renieke's one-bedroom flat for four nights, June 25 thru June 28, 2011. I can attest to everything positive reported about Where Els in previous reviews. Renieke even provided us with red wine and a refrigerator stocked with local beer, white wine, and bottled water! Actually, Renieke bade us goodbye in advance of our actual... More

We booked our 7-night stay at Where Els B&B four months in advance after reading all of the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. Reineke, the proprietor, was every bit as nice and accommodating as fellow travelers have described. When I told her about my Dutch ancestry, she really went above and beyond by providing me a link to a Dutch geneaology... More

We booked the two bedroom apartment for three nights. It was expensive as we paid for both bedrooms, but we knew this and that it was going to meet our needs. 718 Euros for three nights. Both bedrooms were comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were clean and had "many extras" available, ex. robes, body washes, shampoos. We were received well... More

Thank you for your review. You were right. I poorly organized a professional hostess during the 2 days I had to attend a wedding. Thank you for making this clear. My blackberry has been repaired again (it felt like the law of Murphy) and my new help is living around the corner. You can call me at any time on... More

We stayed at this B&B from April 29-May 2, 2011. It was a perfect place to stay in Haarlem--in a quiet location in the old city. It had the typical steep stairs of most all Dutch buildings, but this adds to the charm. The breakfasts were great--a terrific assortment of items as per the Dutch tradition. The owner, Rieneke Post,... More

Where Els is a small, 3 room B&B in a terrific location with a very sweet and helpful owner. We stayed one night on the first floor in the front room but then were moved to the back room on the main floor. The back room had a wonderful jetted tub which helped with my husbands back pain. We didn't... More

My husband and I and 2 kids, aged 6 and 8 stayed here for 2 nights. Great location- about 4 blocks from train station and 3 from the Market. We had 2 bedrooms, a cute little patio and 2 bathrooms and a kitchenette. One of the bedrooms had 3 single beds and toys- a big hit with the kids. Our... More

This absolutely lovely and quaint B&B is perfectly situated to experience the Best Shopping City of the Netherlands, the historic Haarlem & its famous museums. Rieneke's personal touch & hospitality were a real surprise to us. We stayed in the room under the rafters and it was a lovely experience. We have traveled the world, but the breakfast was among...
