Guest Reviews

• Sonja or Ralph (8/5): Overall the stay was good since we spent the days exploring Amsterdam anyway. - It was on a quiet canal and very peaceful with pretty views. Our daughter and granddaughter enjoyed using the kayaks at night. We also enjoyed feeding the ducks and swan that stopped by. The beds were not comfortable and no cold air at all in the upper part of the house. Also the step to the outside deck in the back is loose and one could easily trip.
• Jessica (8/5): -
• Irina (10/5): - Fantastic house on the water. Quiet area. Nice comfy beds. Great host. 15-20 min walk to any public transport
• Philippe (10/5): - Emplacement incroyable
• Andreas Stilling (10/5): Perfect houseboat! - Very cosy, super-friendly host, easy living
• Marisa (9/5): - We loved all the animals - especially the silly goose. The hosts were attentive, helpful, and considerate. Great parking for a small daily fee about €11/day. We are a group of four females, so another mirror would’ve been great.
• Kristene (10/5): Zen-full Home away from Home - The Lovely owner is a Diamond! We have found a paradise and peace in this holiday amidst the hustle and bustle of the City. The place was Amazing, my family felt very at home in a foreign place. Place is fully equip, A-mazing views, Natural light beaming through, Fresh air, you can see boats sailing whilst your chilling in the sofa or having your dinner..The people we’ve meet around the area was also friendly, including the animals . I cannot fault the place at all. We were at Zen there.
• Manuel Javier (9/5): Expectativas superadas. - Ubicación única a ser una Houseboat. Calefacción en toda la casa. muebles muy comodos. Tranquilidad. La propietaria vive al lado, por lo que estaba disponible para cualquier duda o consulta. Faltaba un microondas. Su ubicación lleva aparejado estar en un barrio sin comercios ni locales de hosteleria. Escalera de caracol para el acceso a las habitaciones, un poco complicada para ciertas personas.
• Nathalie (9/5): -
• Aurélie (9/5): Super séjour de 4 nuits en vacances d'hiver, famille de 4 personnes avec 2 ados. - Avant notre arrivée, le contact avec les propriétaires était très fluide. Très bon accueil, le logement est spacieux, fonctionnel, propre et confortable. La déco est soignée, le cadre agréable et très calme. On est sur l’eau, mais le logement est très stable, on ne ressent pas de mouvement de vague.. Il est facile de garer sa voiture ( une dizaine d'euros par jour) et de se rendre (en voiture en 3 minutes et sans surplus de parking) à l'embarcadère du ferry gratuit d’Ijsplein qui vous dépose directement à la gare centrale d’Amsterdam en 3 minutes. En vingt minutes maxi, on est au centre d’Amsterdam. En cas de problème, les propriétaires logent à côté, nous n'en avons pas eu besoin mais c’est rassurant..
• Danielle (10/5): Beautiful setting and great accomodation - We loved staying on the houseboat. Public transport was easy enough to get to. The kayaks for use were great. It’s very peaceful and a fantastic place to stay. No wifi on the bottom floor
• David (10/5): Excellent stay - The house is fantastic. The owners are very kind.
• Otar (10/5): -
• Reddington (10/5): - Everything so lovely, beautiful place, friendly, clean No complaints :)
• Sebastien (10/5): Vraiment parfait. Logement agréable qui permet de prendre le temps avant et après une journée trépidante dans le centre - L’espace du logement et son environnement. L’accueil des hôtes.
• Bettina (10/5): -
• Louise (9/5): - Skøn husbåd indeholdende alt hvad man behøver beliggende i et spændende område Rengøring var mangelfuld
• Verena (9/5): -
• Mara (9/5): Ambiente tranquilo y diferente - El lugar es precioso y con mucho encanto. No es que no me guste, pero hay que tener claro que hay que cruzar andando un bosque y tomárselo así, como algo divertido. Son 15' y de ahí ya te puedes mover con transporte o andando como hemos hecho prácticamente nosotros
• Prune (10/5): -
• Hadrath-Czepan (8/5): -
• Jean (10/5): Great fun - and very comfortable. - Fabulous house boat and location! Houseboat was very modern and had everything you need. Comfy beds. Best was sitting on the deck watching the ducks and the odd boat - and swimming in the canal! Canal was very clean and not too cold. Obviously a regular morning swim for some people. Vera very kindly drove us to the local supermarket for supplies and also said we were welcome to use the 2 kayaks that were there. There were 2 childs wetsuits and bouyancy aids to use. Lovely 20mins walk through a forest (with a zip wire) then 5-10 minute walk to the metro, one stop to Centraal. Very quiet situation. I will definitely be returning. Maybe there could be a microwave?
• Thomas (10/5): Wunderschöner Familienurlaub - Unterkunft war perfekt und für eine Familie ideal Etwas weit entfernt von den Öffis bzw. vom nächsten Supermarkt
• Stepanida (9/5): - Нам очень понравилось жить в этом необычном лодка-доме! Самым неожиданным и приятным бонусом для нас стала возможность плавать прямо в канале — не только на каноэ, но и нырять, и плескаться в воде. Было чудесно наблюдать, как буквально в паре метров от окон проплывают утки, лебеди, лодки и даже корабли. В хорошую погоду мы с удовольствием пользовались этим преимуществом. Апартаменты оказались очень необычными: двухуровневая планировка с гостиной и кухней наверху и уютными спальнями внизу, под ватерлинией, с узкими окнами под потолком. Дом полностью оборудован всем необходимым, а если чего-то не хватало (например, утюга и доски), Vera оперативно приносила. Парковка — машину можно оставить прямо у дома, оплата в паркомате за углом (9,90 €/день, квитанцию печатать не нужно). В парке, напротив дома, арендовали велосипеды. В целом, место очень атмосферное и запоминающееся — идеально для тех, кто хочет попробовать что-то необычное и насладиться жизнью на воде! Спасибо за гостеприимство! Из минусов — некоторое удаление от центра, поэтому пришлось разбираться с маршрутами паромов, метро и автобусов. Район не очень подходит для долгих пеших прогулок, да и в магазин, как нам посоветовала Vera, удобнее ехать на машине - 5 минут. Также поблизости есть небольшой завод катализаторов. Немного омрачало отдых — скрипучие кровати. Из мелочей: не хватало зеркала на наземном этаже, приходилось каждый раз спускаться - подниматься в одну из спален по винтовой лестнице.
• Dr. Ole (10/5): Ein wirklich besonders schöne Erfahrung. - Ein wirklich besonders schöne Erfahrung. Ein Städte Trip mal anders: in der Natur. Nach dem Aufstehen gleich ins Wasser hüpfen und Kajak fahren. Sehr nette, unkomplizierte Gastgeber. Die Nachbarschaft (ca. 1 km Entfernung) boomt mit lässigen Restaurants. Man sollte wissen, dass man etwas ab vom Schuss ist und man nicht unbedingt ohne Probleme ein Mietrad auf die Schnelle auftreibt.
• Charlene (10/5): very pretty - very pretty location peaceful . nice to sit out on a evening to people watch . people swimming and boats going by. the owners are very friendly and helpful . easy to get to town by public transport also is walkable . would recommend nothing
• Shellie (10/5): The hosts were amazing, the location was so unique and facilities were exceptional. We loved our stay. - The quiet beautiful location and great facilities. The flat pillows :-)
• Johnson-younce (9/5): I would stay here again. - What a great location to wake up to. The water, deck and all the greenery were relaxing. This rental has everything you need and the hosts were great. Nothing
• Eduardo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mirna (10/5): Exceptional experience - Many thanks to the hosts Vera and Arjan for making us feel at home. The houseboat was outstanding, very well maintained and had all the amenities we needed. There is nothing like having your morning coffee right on the canal with a stunning view. The hosts were very friendly and thoughtful, checked if we needed anything and they even gave us a ride to the supermarket to get our groceries when we first arrived. It was a really great experience for us and we will definitely book again.
• Petri (10/5): clean, welcoming and to sum it up: would gladly book it again. :) -
• Anparasan (9/5): Superb - A beautiful spacious, clean apartment by the canal. The host was extremely friendly also, and even took us to the supermarket to buy food
• Silviya (10/5): Beautiful boat house set on the end of a park and by the river. Hosts are very welcoming and the house is gorgeous - Loved that the house was on the water and at the end of a beautiful park The only set back was that we had to walk quite a lot to the ferry and central Amsterdam about 35-40min. The walk is nice though, so it’s not difficult for those who like to walk like us
• Mario (9/5): Houseboat bellissima ma un po’ cara -
• Paul (9/5): Superb - The houseboat was really a lovely place, to stay. It was well equipped and very comfortable. The owners live nearby and were very friendly and helpful even taking us to the supermarket to get provisions. The location is excellent and is a lovely quiet place to stay being only 25 mins to central Amsterdam We could have done with an ironing board at the houseboat as we were on business that was all. There was nothing really that we felt was wrong and we didn't like.
• Sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tenhunen (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the location and the hosts were the best! Very welcoming and helpful!
• Francis (10/5): Amazing - Just a unique and amazing property. Very clean and comfortable. Amazing to be able to step out the door and onto the canal. We loved being able to put our feet in after a long day.
• Rhonda (10/5): A pleasant location to enjoy peace and quietness after 6 weeks travelling. - It was quiet and a lovely outlook. A 15 minute walk took you to the train station and it was only a couple of stops to Central Station. The hosts could not have been more helpful which we really appreciated.
• Patrizia (9/5): Superb - First experience on a houseboat and it was spectacular. The welcoming, comfortable, full optional house. Waking up in the morning and having coffee on the canal, immersed in nature is a wonderful feeling. The place is really beautiful. It can be reached on foot in 15 minutes from the bus stop through a park that is pleasant to walk through and regenerating. Alternatively by car/taxi/bicycle directly in front of the houseboat. Vera and her husband were very helpful and gave us good advice. A fantastic experience.
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful accommodation, the owners were amazing on arrival we were bye the owners shown the houseboat. We were taken to get some shopping, and taken straight back, no rush All was lovely no issues
• Katy (10/5): Excellent hosts! - Our hosts were so friendly and helpful throughout our whole stay. The apartment was bright and clean and had all the amenities we required and more.
• Thibault (10/5): perfect - Quietful place, well equipped and comfy.
• Rebbecca (10/5): Exceptional - This house boat is a little but out of the city but worth the distance. It is a unique place to stay. It's clean, spacious and comfortable. The owner popped in a couple of times to check we had everything we needed. It's a walk to the nearest metro station or a taxi/bolt into town. Stayed in December, but I bet it's amazing in the summer! Would definitely recommend. Nothing.
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location and the houseboat is stunning.Couldnt have asked for nicer hosts as well they went above and beyond to help us and we're absolutely brilliant.Cant wait to come back 😀 Couldn't fault the place
• Zanna (10/5): Wonderful host - Tips from the host on how to get around town. The house is amazing Nothing
• Dana (10/5): Exceptional -
