Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 2nd June 2008 Couple 31-40 3/5 Comments: Great directions and good contact up front from Retty. A nice little guest house in a quiet part of town not too far from the centre - a pleasant walk into town or an easy bus ride straight to the station. It was a nice place to stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 5th July 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: We really like the fact that the hostel is in Westerpark, which is more of a quiet, residential part of Amsterdam. It's an easy bus ride into town, and were able to walk to the Westerpark stage to see Radiohead! We had a great stay. Thanks Retty and Josef!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 11th June 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Great breakfast. Very quiet (only 4 small rooms) and could use kitchen at any time. The house keeper was very friendly but spoke little english. We gave him our laundry and all the colour in my clothes ran and everything turned grey. The internet wasn\'t working for our stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 23rd June 2008 Couple 25-30 2/5 Comments: manager nice but never makes an appearance-only by phone ,place is run by a guy who cant speak english- acts like he understands he doesnt. the bedsloft style with 35-40 cm from the ceiling, up a semi sketchy ladder,not reccommended for clostraphobes. breakfast is made at 8.30 every morning and left at outside your door,if you want to sleep in its simply just a waste of food.unless you like stone cold eggs. free use of washing machine and dryer are a plus, and i like the kitch stuff around.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 24th March 2008 Male - 2/5 Comments: Was a fair way from town, unless you use the public transport. Clean & tidy, but not the best place we have ever stayed. Good for a couple if you want peace & quiet.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 31st March 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: I liked this place because it is quiet and close to where I wanted to be, but if you want to be on vacation I don't recomend it.Staff was nice but they don't speak english very well. The wireless never worked either. But it was very quiet and peacefull.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 15th October 2007 Couple 18-24 4/5 Comments: the retty's house is excellent for spend your holidays in Amsterdam. We will always remember the house, It's simple but Retty and her family ( and the man that was prepare us the breakfast) are really very nice.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 23rd September 2007 Couple 31-40 2/5 Comments: Retty was very pleasant to deal with, unfortunately we never actually got to meet her. The guy who was running the place was also very nice but unfortunately there was a major language barrier between us, which caused a couple uncomfortable and confusing circumstances. It would be handy to have someone at the guesthouse who is fluent in english, as it is commonly spoken in Amsterdam, along with dutch.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 9th September 2007 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: Retty's was extremely welcoming and very clean. location was good with a 10 min bus ride to centarl station and a small walk to Anne Franks house, and a special thanks to Yousuf for looking after us and giving us a nice breakfast every morning

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 14th August 2007 Couple 25-30 2/5 Comments: Very unconfortable beds just a few centimeters far from the ceiling, poor and cold breakfasts, english not spoken, (not even dutch, german, spanish or so) and a very frigtening welcome letter saying that amsterdam is full of "psychos", don't know why.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 7th July 2007 Female - 4/5 Comments: Beautiful, quiet, clean place to stay. Very helpful staff! Highly recommended!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Hungary 15th July 2007 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: We had a great time in Retty's Guesthouse. The place is nice and the staff is kind. Only the walls are a bit thin. Thank you Retty!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 2nd July 2007 Couple 18-24 2/5 Comments: The hostel was basic but clean, however it was quite far out of the centre of amsterdam,and there was nothing to do in the immediate area. Retty was not there,but welcomed us by phone, and although the staff there were helpful, they spoke no english. Lastly, brekfast in bed was a sweet thought, but the fried eggs were cold. All in all, we would not go back but it would be ok for a one-night stop-over.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 6th June 2007 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good. Room was tidy. You can reach the important locations of Amsterdam by foot, but its far enough from the center to sleep quietly at night :) The room could get very warm in the summer as you can't realy open the window (basement). Luckily there is a fan in the room.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 29th May 2007 Couple 18-24 4/5 Comments: Thank you so much! We loved it!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Austria 26th May 2007 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: Small and lovely are the best words to describe. The staff creates a familiar atmosphere and retty is explaining you everything even on the phone when, if she is not there. I liked it, and i felt very comfortable

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 2nd May 2007 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: kinda looks sketchy at first but owner talks to you about everything and makes you feel more relaxed. they serve the best breakfast i have had in europe at a hostel...eggs, bacon, toast, etc to ur door so that was sweet.

The breakfast from Woody is the best! eggs, rolls, meat, cheese, coffee i mean it was really really awesome. the ppl are very very nice i would totaly stay here again

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 30th July 2006 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Definitely need to invest in more fans for the rooms because it was soooo hot and we couldn't open a window. otherwise, we had a fabulous time.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Finland 16th July 2006 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: This B&B is located within (quite long)walking distance of center. Busses and trams from central station come quite close. Stuff is not always there, you need to call the owner if you have questions, so it is best to get your info about town before you come here. Rooms are very clean and are cleaned every day. Breakfast is good with little variation every day. Bed in two persons room is a top bunk bed about 60 cm from roof, so not a good place for claustrofobic person. Walls are paper thin, you can hear everything from next room, so bring good earplugs.
