The second time we've visited Amsterdam and chosen this Bed&Breakfast.

Very nice hosts, a familiar atmosphere and a very good, lavish breakfast.

The rooms are big, equipped with the best beds in whole Amsterdam (2.20m length), flatscreen TV, full broadband internet (for free).

The bathroom is clean, functional in every way and the view out of the front windows great (directly toward the well-known A'dam canals).

The hosts are very nice and helpful in every way, doesn't matter if it's for questions regarding the city, the public transport, outlet shopping or cooking.

Next stop in Amsterdam will be planned with a stop at the Transvaalkade ;-)

Thanks again for this wonderful stay in Amsterdam.

The proprietor runs a first-rate bed and breakfast inn! The rooms are clean, comfortable and well-appointed. The breakfast is great and the hospitality is warm and friendly.

The proprietor knows the region well and provides helpful tourist guidance.

The B&B is located in a nice area of the city, close to transit and good local restaurants. The location is a safe, quiet residential area, but is conveniently located in close proximity to downtown and Amsterdam's many attractions.

I highly recommend this B&B!

We stayed at De Vliegende Kok during Amsterdam marathon. Our host Alexandra was very friendly and helpful in all respect. Myn husband was running the marathon and she proposed to cook the breakfast to satisfy his needs, and also he was allowed to take a shower after the marathon although we had checked out. Everything very clean and nice. The only thing was that the room was a bit cold, and we could not get the heating to work during the day.

Dissapointingly - we have NOT stayed at De Vliegende Kok, but were very excited upon finding it online and infact cancelled another hotel we had previously booked so that we could book a stay here.

The website has an odd booking system whereby you pay for a room without specifying which night you want to stay, and then email the staff.

My partner and I are planning a trip to amsterdam but only an overnight stay - however I wanted it to be a special stay and this place looked (by the website) to be such a place.

However, upon already paying, and emailing to get the room (which the website said was available that day), I was informed by the owner that we could only stay a minimum of two nights.

For a Bed and Breakfast this is a bizarre specification, and the website DOES NOT specify this. I was very very dissapointed by this and replied with a message asking if they could make an exception since we had booked their most expensive room and midweek. I received no further response and only a refund of my payment.

I thought that this inability to compromise and accomodate a willing, paying customer, poor customer service and gave the impression of a very snooty establishment. I am thoroughy dissapointed and warn people that their website does not specify this and to take note before paying for a room.
