Buurtje.nl is the largest platform for honest neighbourhood reviews in the Netherlands. Thousands of people search for reviews every month before deciding where they want to live. By reviewing your own neighbourhood, district or municipality you help them make a well-informed choice and give the municipality valuable insight into what matters to residents.

Which categories do you rate?

You give a score from 1 to 10 on eight themes, with "not applicable" as an option: safety, community, hygiene, housing, education, nature, amenities and accessibility.

Honest reviews, thanks to an AI check

A neighbourhood review is only valuable if the content is accurate. Every review therefore goes through an AI check that assesses respectful language, relevance and the absence of personal names or insults. If your text doesn't pass, you get an explanation straight away and can adjust it.

Anonymous and free

Your address is not stored and your email address remains private. Your review only shows the name or pseudonym you provide. Writing and reading reviews is and will remain free.

How long does it take to review a neighbourhood?

Writing a review takes about 3 minutes. You go through 5 short steps: location, details, scores, experience and submission.

Is my address stored?

No. We only use your postcode and house number to automatically find the right neighbourhood. Your exact address is never recorded or shown anywhere.

Is my review anonymous?

Your review only shows the name you provide, so initials or a pseudonym are perfectly fine. Your email address is never shown, sold or used for advertising.

What does the AI check do?

Before your review goes live, an AI checks whether your text is respectful and relevant and doesn't contain names or insults. This keeps the reviews on Buurtje.nl reliable.

When will my review be online?

After a successful AI check, your review appears immediately on the page of the relevant neighbourhood and counts towards the average scores.

Does it cost anything?

No, writing reviews on Buurtje.nl is and will remain free.

Can I edit my review later or have it removed?

Spotted a typo or want to add something? Send us a message via info@buurtje.nl and we'll update it for you. Want your review removed entirely? Then also email info@buurtje.nl.
