Next to the Schilderswijk and named with it in most writing about The Hague's difficult neighbourhoods — writing that, as Dutch sources point out, comes largely from people who do not live in either. The Hague's own figures are published per wijk through Den Haag in Cijfers and the national Veiligheidsmonitor, a population survey run for CBS and the Ministry of Justice and Security. Dense nineteenth-century housing with documented drug and youth crime; residential, and not on any visitor's route.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. The Hague publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.
Frequently asked questions
Is Transvaalkwartier safe?
Wandroz currently rates Transvaalkwartier in The Hague as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in The Hague at night. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. The Hague publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Transvaalkwartier safe at night?
At night, Transvaalkwartier is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in The Hague. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Transvaalkwartier a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Transvaalkwartier's day rating (an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches The Hague, not Transvaalkwartier specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for Transvaalkwartier?
Not an official government crime feed — Transvaalkwartier's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Transvaalkwartier well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
