The accommodation is located on the outskirts of Amsterdam, easily accessible by bus from Central in 10 minutes, but expect a 10-minute walk from the bus stop. Recommended for those who like a quiet, rural lifestyle and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The family room is very spacious with a wonderful view of the animals, sheep and cows. The room is well equipped with a fridge, its own small dining area, cutlery, kettle, coffee maker. The bathroom is opposite the room. The beds are quite noisy, but comfortable. The farmhouse is next to a busy main road, but the noise is not disturbing and you can sleep in it. If you require breakfast, it will be prepared in advance in the room. It's very generous: yoghurt, cereals, pastries, bread, jams, ham, cheese and eggs. We requested breakfast for 1 day, but there was so much that we had enough for several days. :)

We arrived at the hotel in the evening. When we got off the bus, it was a bit scary and confusing that there were no signs, we had to find the accommodation on an unlit road. It might be worthwhile to at least put small solar lights on the road to the accommodation. Download the 9292 app to plan your route and get off at the Splitsing stop, it's a bit closer to the accommodation ( about 1 km walk ) The coffee maker is filtered and makes a rather watery coffee, but for those who like it, it should be fine. There were no paper towels or napkins in the room (we couldn't find any in the shared kitchen either). As it is a rural farm house, expect to smell animal odours... :)

I stayed in the family room and it was big and spacious. The facilities were all great (fridge in the room, toiletries and linen available, etc), and everything was clean. The temperature of the room was always just right, and the view was a wide grassy lawn opening onto a barn on one side, with the rural grass plain surrounded highway on the other - but the windows were placed to keep privacy intact. The bathrooms were private but across the hall through a common space. We enjoyed our stay and it was a comfortable and cozy place to be surrounded by farmland views and cows and goats. Amsterdam is closeby, and the smaller towns were fun to visit from this location. Breakfast: I opted for the breakfast (10 Euro each per day in cash) which usually included a variation of breads, cheeses, butters, and jams. Eggs and coffee, along with cereal and milk were also present. The eggs seemed sourced at the farm itself. It was nice to chat with some of the other guests during breakfast. Transport: There were buses running frequently, so public transport wasn't really an issue. We chose to rent bikes (10 Euro each per day, 25 for 3 days - in cash) and cycle around, and the location was good for that. Multiple ferries ran throughout, some late into the night to ensure we could get back from the city with out bikes. I will say though, that there are some sketchy/under constructions paths in the dark on the way back if you choose to do that. There are canals and dykes lining that path, so just be careful, especially with the wind. However, once you get used to it, it doesn't seem so bad, esp if you aren't alone. We attended a concert at Johan Cruyff and a bus brought us back straight from the arena around midnight.

Ubers were difficult to find from the B&B, and we had heavy luggage so that was inconvenient. However, rolling them up the pathway to the bus stop as a back up wasn't too difficult.

The place is in the middle of the Amsterdam countryside, although very close to Amsterdam Noord (10 minutes walking from the b&b for reaching the bus stop + 5 min with the tram) You could reach city centre in about 20-25 mins in total. If you come here I suggest you to buy the Amsterdam & Region red travel card, so you can easily travel around the area and the city centre! Hosts are so nice and welcoming. Overall a great atmosphere, they also have a few dogs and one of them became a friend of us! :) Our room was cozy, well made; the bathroom is external but private. Had the best sleep here 10/10. Good price quality for the place! Thank you.

The staff was very friendly, even before our stay. Check in was without problems. We liked our room very much, it contained everything necessary and was clean. The adjacent communal kitchen contained all the necessary equipment and also board games to borrow. It is a bit remote (it is essentially on a farm, if I understand correctly), but thanks to that the surroundings were very calm and quiet (despite the road nearby). It also means that if you travel by public transport, it is a bit of a walk from the bus stop, but the remoteness was in my opinion worth it. If you travel by bike, the bike road goes directly in front of the B&B. Some would say that the walls are thin and you hear the other guests walking above you or opening and closing doors, but it is not disruptive and it is not different from an apartment building or a family house.

The room was a bit cold (we visited at the end of september), but there is a heater both in the bathroom and in the bedroom, so you can adjust the temperature.

The hosts at the property were extremely helpful, even before we arrived at the property. We were also pleasantly surprised at how nice the rooms were along with all the facilities we had access too such as kitchen and Netflix/YouTube on the TV. The nearest bus stop to get into the city is about a 10 minute walk and costs next to nothing to take the 10-15 minute into the city. Although it is next to the highway, the property is very quiet and peaceful which you sometimes want after a day spent in the city. It was also really nice being amongst the animals at the farm with sheep outside our window and cows all around us. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing.

A very comfortable stay in our accommodation, with anything we could have needed. The host was very friendly and helpful - useful information offered and lovely details included. We loved the peace that the location offered us and were very happy to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam itself.

I, personally, didn't mind the walking distance to the bus stop but our 14 year old wasn't so keen. However, that wouldn't put me off staying again should i go to Amsterdam in the future.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay in a rurual location which isn't far from the busy centre of Noord. Perfect for relaxing and escaping the busy city. The host was really friendly and helpful. The property is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are lovely and beds are super comfortable! We had the best sleep we've had in ages! You won't be disappointed!

We loved everything about City Farmer B&B and can't wait to return!

Our hosts were great and super helpful. Communication was easy. The place is very close to Amsterdam and yet you are in the middle of the countryside. Super calm and cozy. Great value for the price.

You need to plan your day pretty well as you are highly dependent on public transport (metro to Noord + bus). It's not far, but you don't have the comfort of the city center (I've: convenience stores, restaurants). As long as you adapt accordingly, you'll be fine.

It is an adorable B&B on a farm, but it was still so easy to get into the city via bus! I really enjoyed looking out at the sheep and being able to see other animals right outside. The recommendations for local places near the B&B and the extras in the room (coffee, tea, chocolate) were very nice touches. The room was clean and the shower was nice. There is also the option to rent bikes which was nice, although they are rather basic models so you’ll really have to put your legs to work with that wind!

I have a couple of suggestions, but overall the stay was great! -Although it’s attentive and nice, I actually think it would be easier on the host/would make little difference to guests if the rooms weren’t visited until check out -A little blurb about the location being the second property down the bike path might help the neighbor avoid those pesky tourists coming to the wrong place (me) -Let guests know in the listing about the €50 deposit so they can have cash ready

everything was great. The rooms were extremely clean and everything was included and provided by the host.

the location was a bit far from the center and it requires a little bit of walking which might be hard with the luggage.
