Dog-friendly, from the source · the policy in their words

Good news.
You’re coming too.

That’s the part your dog hears. Yours: every hotel here allows dogs in its own facility data, and when one spells out its pet policy (the fee, the size limit, the restaurant rule) we put that in front of you, not in the small print at the desk.

The policy card

The five answers worth having.

“Pet-friendly” can mean anything, and you’ve met the anything: the fee nobody mentioned, the six-kilo limit, the dog tied up outside the restaurant. So we hold the word to five questions, and when a hotel answers them in its own policy, we lay them out for you like this, in the same plain table.

  • Dog fee, in euros

    Exact and per night. “Pet fee may apply” is not an amount, so it doesn’t get listed.

  • Size limit, in kilos

    A number, or the word “none”. Written down, so the Leonberger checks in as smoothly as the dachshund.

  • Dogs in the restaurant

    Yes or no, breakfast included. “On the terrace, weather permitting” only if that is exactly what the policy says.

  • Bed and bowls

    Provided or bring-your-own. Both are fine. Finding out at 10pm is not.

  • Nearest green

    Metres to the closest park, field or beach where a dog can be a dog. Measured from the front door.

The sniff test

How a listing gets here.

  1. 01

    Pets allowed, from the source

    We start from the hotel’s own facility data. If it says dogs are welcome, it’s here. That flag is where every listing begins.

  2. 02

    The policy, in the hotel’s words

    When a hotel publishes its pet policy, we surface it as written (the fee, the limit, the restaurant rule) instead of shrinking it to a single word.

  3. 03

    The breakfast question

    Can the dog lie under your table while you eat? It is the question owners actually have, and where a policy answers it, we make sure you see the answer.

  4. 04

    Fuller cards, city by city

    The five-field policy card is rolling out one city at a time, Amsterdam first. Where it isn’t live yet, you still get the hotel’s own words.

House position

The fee is the fee.

The fee is the fee.

If a hotel charges €15 a night for the dog, that belongs on the page as €15 a night. If cleaning costs extra, that’s part of the fee, and it belongs there too.

The limit is the limit.

In kilos, or “none”. Never “at the manager’s discretion”, which is a coin toss you drive four hours to lose.

A no is fine. A surprise isn’t.

A hotel can keep dogs out of the bar. It can’t say so for the first time while you’re holding your bags.

“Pet fee may apply” is not a policy. It’s an ambush at the front desk, and dragging it into the daylight is the whole reason this site exists.
