How many nights are spent in Dutch hotels?
Dutch and foreign guests spent 52.5 million nights in Dutch hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfast accommodation (B&Bs) in 2022. This is 22 million nights more than in the previous year, but still below the number in 2019, the last year pre-COVID. Over half of all overnight stays were booked by Dutch guests. Foreign guests came mainly from Germany.
According to provisional CBS figures, there were 4.2 thousand Dutch hotels, guest houses and B&Bsnoot1 in the Netherlands in 2022. Together they catered for 28 million guests in that year. On average, guests spent just under two nights in one of these forms of accommodation. Dutch hotel guests accounted for most of these overnight stays. Before the COVID crisis, guests from abroad accounted for most nights spent here.
Foreign guests spent 25 million nights in Dutch hotels, guest houses and B&Bs in 2022. This was more than the year before, but 16 percent down on the last year before COVID-19.
