I did not realize that we would be staying at the most iconic home in Brugge. This property is breathtaking!! It was everything we wanted and more!!! We stayed in the cottage at Barabas. The property is directly on the canal and close to everything. Our hosts could not have been more gracious and accommodating. Loved the experience!!
We stayed at Hotel Barabas for three nights in the Residence Room and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
The service was warm and efficient, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. One of the highlights was the breakfast: fresh, varied, and absolutely delicious—definitely one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had!
The hotel has a unique atmosphere with lots of character, and the location was ideal for discovering the city. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
This was a beautiful property located on the canal. The accommodations were excellent with easy check in and check out. We had the family room at the top which was extremely roomy and we all slept comfortably. The breakfast was delicious and fresh with the best service. It was centrally located and convenient to walk to all the local sights.
Loved our room and the breakfast was delicious. In walking distance to main square and great restaurants.

I recommend staying away.
If you like a well furnished B&B with excellent breakfast this maybe for you. However, if you are seeking somewhere that provides daily clean dry towels, clean cups, replaces used coffee pods, provides USB ports that are not tucked away in another room, and has an easy to use lighting system, then I would suggest you look somewhere else. Should you be unfortunate enough to visit this location, I would not recommend complaining, all that I got was a decades old cartoon character sent to me.
Our stay at Barabas Bed and Breakfast is the absolute best place weve ever been, weve been all over Canada, USA, and Netherlands, this property is exquisite and dreamy, the house is beautifully decorated. The Breakfast is beautifully done with care, Bert the owner, and Hilde, and Tonja, are so good at their jobs and do everything with such care. We will always cherish this experience ❤️

What a great B&B. Bert, the host, introduced himself before arrival and gave instructions for arrival as well as meeting my wife and I when we arrived. The hotel and our suite had old world charm along with a modern bathroom. Our unit had a separate entrance from the beautiful garden area that looked over the canal. When you walk into the unit there is a beautiful living room, small dining table and kitchen. The bedroom was on the 2nd floor of our little house. To get upstairs to the bedroom, the stairs are steep but easy to navigate. Great location and well worth the price!
Wonderful B&B on a quiet street but close to the main square. Walkable to all the sites, shops and restaurants. Stayed here with our daughters - took the two rooms on the top floor. Lovely rooms, air conditioned, delicious breakfast and pleasant staff. Picture-perfect place right on the canal. Did NOT want to leave!! Loved Barabas in quaint, historic Bruges. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing all around. Gorgeous and centrally located. Delicious breakfast. Owner and staff make it most personal and family-like. Spacious family room with modern amenities and historic feel. Would love to come back!!!
We loved Barabas and would book again if returning to Bruges. Our host was warm, friendly, and helpful. Check-in was a breeze, and breakfast had enough choices to make everyone in our group happy. The location and setting are unbeatable. The garden beside the canal is lovely, and you are minutes from all the sites. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! Thank you, Bert.
Bert, the owner, was gracious and warmly invited us in to his extraordinary space on the canal. The rooms were large with beautiful exposed beams and comfortable beds. The breakfast they made for us was delicious and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Bruges.
The ownership and management of this "B&B" are about as compassionate as I would expect from people who do not care about their clientele or for that matter - future business
Barabas and the staff were amazing and made our stay in Brugge magical. They helped us with every need, the room was beyond charming and the breakfast was superb!
We had an amazing stay. Our hosts were great. Breakfast was exceptional. The place is perfectly located to enjoy all that Bruges has to offer. Highly recommended!!
Absolutely beautiful B&B. My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights. Bert, our host, was very friendly, the room was very comfortable and clean, the location is fabulous and the breakfast is amazing!!!!
we loved our stay at this b and b. the garden was delightful for the fantastic breakfast and at dusk for cocktails! the location is fantastic ( close enough to the main square but on a quiet narrow street.) cannot say enough great things. would book again in a heartbeat.
