We have just returned from 3 nights at B&B Joy.  When on a sightseeing holiday we want friendly, clean and comfortable accommodation in a good location and this is exactly what is provided.  We booked the Superior room, which is on the first floor and the largest of the three available rooms, I believe.  Yes, the stairs are steep and if you have a physical disability that hinders movement perhaps this accommodation wouldn't suit.  However, this is typical of small hotels, guest houses in traditional older properties having stayed many times in Noordwijk since the late 1980s with 40 school children in tow!

Here is what you get:

Off street parking if you have your own/hire car
3 minute walk to seafront & 15 minute stroll to main shopping strip
Light & airy with very large window, nets and curtains; overlooking rear garden area - NOT on the front so no possibility of traffic noise!
Twin beds - very comfortable & slept like logs
En suite with shower - plenty of hot water at a stable temperature; towel change once during our stay
Wardrobe / storage - very ample, plenty of hangers and drawers
Seating - two cushioned cane chairs & coffee table.  Comfy for a read.
TV with BBC channels!
Excellent fast wi-fi (Hint - the code is on the room welcome / information card)
Tea & coffee making facilities (Hint - the milk is powdered and is in stick form but creams coffee well!)
A friendly host - a typical warm Dutch welcome and throughout our stay.
An excellent, hearty breakfast - eggs, meats, cheeses, several varieties of bread, fruit, yoghurt, tea (good selection) or coffee.

Here is what you DON'T get:

A large bill!  Via booking.com was about 55GBP per night including tourist tax - excellent value.

Could it be improved?

Our only suggestion would be for the owner to try to arrange the breakfast dining for 3 tables of 2, rather than 1 for 4 + 1 for 2.  Presently 2 couples share one large table.  A flower arrangement does divide each couple's space but is not ideal.  Having said that, it does not downgrade our excellent rating!

On a budget? Perfect Choice

Perfect little place if you're looking for a nice, child-friendly, clean place on a budget. Our room was full of light and clean, with towels changed every day. Breakfast is generous with eggs, cold cuts and breads in addition to yoghurt and a selection of jams. One minor point is that it could be served a little earlier than 9:30.
Not suitable for people with disabilities as the stairs to get to the rooms are quite steep and narrow.
The free parking available on the premise is a big advantage. 
The B&B is at a walking distance to the beach and restaurants, so you can forget the car when you're there.

Nice, child-friendly, clean place on a budget

The owner makes you pay cash as soon as you walk in, without seeing the room.  No receipt. I requested a lower floor due to health issues.  Our SQUAT ROOM was on the third floor with extremely narrow stairs that winded - very dangerous.  If you are tall, forget it, the room has angled ceilings.  After viewing the room and explaining our issues to the owner, he was rude and denied us a refund of just one night.  We didn't mind paying for the first night (EVEN THOUGH WE DIDNT STAY THERE) as he couldn't rent it out again. When I complained to Booking.com,  he told them he had just gone on vacation for three weeks, so we waited until he "got back" and after the complaints he refused us a refund.  The whole thing was about principle and clearly I had emailed him before we got there and let him know about the health issues we have with stairs and he never mentioned a word about the third floor or the NARROW, DANGEROUS STAIRS.  This guy is a classic scam artist only concerned about the money....speaking of which, breakfast is served at 9:30 am only. No window of even 30 minutes...Who eats this late when on vacation?  Another way to keep more dollars in his pocket. Oh, and lets not forget the bugs!!!!!! Do not stay here unless you want your vacation wrecked...We ended up at the Orange Hotel, oceanfront, less than a block away and enjoyed it immensely.
