Guest Reviews

• Tamara (9/5): - Aussergewöhnliche, tolle Unterkunft. Das Zimmer ist sehr schön,die Luke auf das Dek, mit einem grossen Sitzkissen für 2, richtig toll.Wir haben das Zimmer wie die Umgebung auf dem Wasser sehr genossen.
• Jimmy (10/5): - Die Lage war sehr gut! 10min mit dem Fahrrad zum Bahnhof! Einfach zu finden!
• Elodie (9/5): -
• Sebastian (10/5): Sehr schönes Hausboot s - Das Hausboot liegt in guter Reichweite zum Zentrum, und vom Bahnhof aus sind es zu Fuß – je nachdem, wie schnell man läuft – auch nur etwas mehr als 20 Minuten. Das Zimmer selbst ist sehr geräumig und super hübsch eingerichtet. Die Highlights sind für mich die Dachterrasse mit Liegekissen, auf denen man bei Nacht und guten Bedingungen die Sterne beobachten kann, das sehr bequeme und große Bett sowie die Badewanne mit Blick auf den Hafen/Anlegeplatz. Des Weiteren stehen ein Minikühlschrank, eine Nespresso-Maschine und ein Wasserkocher zur Verfügung. Tee und Kaffeekapseln werden ebenfalls bereitgestellt. Alles in allem war es ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt, und ich würde sehr gerne wiederkommen, um auf der Dachterrasse, leicht schaukelnd, erneut die Sterne zu bewundern. Die Unterkunft hat alle meine Erwartungen erfüllt und auch an vielen Stellen übertroffen
• Marc (10/5): A fantastic weekend getaway for young couples. - Great location and facilities, quite clean and friendly service. Nothing!
• Nermina (10/5): Mysigt ställe - Läget. Rummet var lite kallt vid ankomst.
• Shanisse (10/5): Lovely Stay Overall, will stay there again. - Great experience staying on this houseboat, especially during SAIL AMSTERDAM. Best part was the private deck to relax. There is no TV which is great for vacation and the room was comfortable with a microwave in the hall. Would like for there to be extra towels to cover window in bathroom and to cover the floor coming out of the shower.
• Ramona (9/5): - Unkomplizierte Abwicklung und unvergesslicher Blick auf das Wasser bei Nacht. Schlafmaske mitnehmen, da man die Fenster nicht abdunkeln kann.
• christine (9/5): Très agréable, je recommande - Le calme, l’emplacement, la gentillesse du propriétaire Manque un tapis de bain et pas de coffre comme indiqué sur l’annonce
• Andreas (10/5): Wohnen auf dem Hausboot: echt Amsterdam! - Der Aufenthalt auf dem Hausboot war ein tolles Erlebnis. Unser Zimmer entsprach genau den Fotos, war sehr geräumig, super ausgestattet (u.a. mit etwas Geschirr und Kaffeemaschine), geschmackvoll eingerichtet und alles war sauber. Wir hatten zudem Zugang zum Deck, wo wir die Abendsonne genossen haben. Es gibt zwar keinen Zimmerservice, den haben wir aber während unseres Aufenthalts auch nicht vermisst. Die Unterkunft ist zu Fuss vom Bahnhof Amsterdam Centraal in etwa 30 Minuten erreichbar und eine Station der kostenlosen Fähre befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Unser Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat auf Nachrichten über Booking jeweils sofort reagiert. Alles in allem uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert!
• Angie (10/5): Highly recommend this house boat. The room was great and we loved having our coffee up top through the hatch in the mor - Quirky and cool - beautiful house boat N/a
• Friend (9/5): Superb -
• Peyman (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gary (10/5): Exceptional -
• Frank (10/5): Unusual and positive experience on a boat in Amsterdam 🚤👍💯 - Very outstanding experience to be hosted on a boat! Nice room and super nice and friendly owner Arie, who gave us a very positive experience in Amsterdam on his nice comfortable boat! 🙏👍💋💯 A small wardrobe could be a good adder in the room.
• Tatyana (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and great host
• Helen (10/5): Incredible experience very relaxing, comfortable and cosy - Amazing experience, very comfortable and cosy - excellent location. Arie the owner is very friendly and helpful- great hospitality!
• Dehalu (5/5): Not worth the price - Nice renovation, original place Really fare away from the city center (8min in the description - 50 in reality) We have not see the patio and terrasse mentioned. As expensive as a 4* hotel in the center
• Cansu (5/5): It was a nice experience but I’m not planning to repeat. - It was a new and beautiful boat, the room was very clean. Arie was a very helpful host. Whenever I needed anything, I could easily reach him via message. However, it is not as easy as constantly reaching someone at the reception. For those who are not used to living on a boat, I cannot say that it is as comfortable as a hotel. Sleeping may be a problem for those who are used to sleeping in a quiet environment. It cannot be said that it is the right choice for accommodation in the winter season. But it was enjoyable to sip hot tea in the room while it was raining and hailing.
• Ellen (7/5): It was good, not great but ok. - There was no provided breakfast. Convenient to bus and tram. This may seem silly but I would have appreciated more than just one towel for a 3 day stay. Maybe two towels and a face cloth. A bath at would be a nice touch as well. The only ventilation is a fan a one port hole window opened. If it was hot out I don’t know what one would do.
• Wojciech (10/5): Great place - Regular hotels are boring. Eco House Boat is fantastic place to stay in Amsterdam
• Keeley (8/5): Very good -
• Julie (8/5): Very good -

• Tomas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melissa (10/5): Excellent Location - The ease of the location was fantastic!! Arie was a great host and easy to reach. The boat itself was super cute!! I would return back and stay there again, I am recommending it to everyone!! Everything was great! Even while it rained, the ease was still great. I am sad we had to check out, the place is GREAT!! NO COMPLAINTS!!
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay on the Eco Houseboat was simply Amazing, what an experience. The boat is so beautiful and had everything we needed which made the stay so perfect. Will definitely be returning in the near future.
• Patrick (10/5): Great location - Great location. Really quiet and peaceful.5 minute cycle to centraal. We hired our bikes from our hosts Arie and Jasmine. We loved our stay here.
• Andy (9/5): Great property, perfect location - The location was absolutely perfect with a brilliant public transport system right on the doorstep. The directions to the property were great. The property itself was very quirky and lovely, it had everything we needed. A cover for the porthole in the bathroom would have been nice.
• Elisa (10/5): One of the best places to stay in Amsterdam! - The houseboat exceeded our expectations! The room was spacious, clean and overall very comfortably decorated - it felt more like a home than a hotel. The bathroom is completely renovated and the room overall was very clean. The bed is top tier, like sleeping on clouds. You’re located in a quiet area yet close enough to the city center to walk. Communication with the host was very easy and Arie was available to answer any questions we had on short notice. Even though it was freezing cold outside when we visited the boat was warm and comfy and a perfect place to escape the wind and rain. Morning coffee on the private deck of the boat was another highlight. We will definitely be coming back!
• Anna-marie (9/5): Eco Houseboat - The location was great. Close enough to the city centre but far enough away to be peaceful. The bath and shower were huge. The room itself was extremely comfortable and clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. There wasn't anything we didn't like. The accommodation exceeded our expectations!
• Megan (10/5): perfect property for a couples weekend getaway, would love to return ! - really cozy, comfortable and beautiful property, really easy to access and perfect distance from city centre everything was perfect!
• Gordon (9/5): Superb -
• Margot (9/5): A unique and fun place to stay - A unique and fun place to stay. Great location and easy to find because of clear instructions :) we loved looking at all the other boats around the docks. Amsterdam rocks!
• Anonymous (10/5): Unique and quiet accommodation - We stayed at the Eco HouseBoat for 3 nights in February 2023. We chose this location because it‘s very unique and still quite close to the city center. The room is very cozy with a bathtub and shower and a separate toilet. It‘s not the biggest room but that‘s expected. Everything feels very modern but still has some good amount of boat-flair. There is also a little roof area which you can reach through some stairs in your room. We could reach the city center in about 15-20 minutes by foot but if that‘s too long for you there is always the option to rent a bike in Amsterdam.
• Tom (8/5): Very good - special experience. 20min walk from the center, quiet nights, clean rooms a Little noice when people come and go as well as talking loud because of thin walls and doors.
• Stewart (9/5): Superb -
• Jie (10/5): Exceptional - location,facility , the view from the boat . a very unique accommdation
• Sonny (1/5): Did not enjoy the stay and I am seeking a full refund via Booking.com and/or my CC, Terrible time. - The IDEA of staying on a boat, as far as we got. From the wrong room given to entering the room with a wide-open window ( ITS JANUARY ), floor soaking wet due to leakages, stale smell of smoke. Noise from builders working and staying on the boat each morning at 8 am EVERY DAY OF OUR 4-NIGHT STAY. One towel for two adults for a 4-night stay. No new towels were offered. No power in the shower. Room cold
• Claire (8/5): Beautiful - The boat was amazing it was soooo peaceful There were only 2 towels and no where to dry them also lacking a bath mat
• Heidy (10/5): Best unique experience and luxurious boat stay. - Everything was super perfect. Clean, easy to find, friendly hosts and something special never experienced it before. Super luxurious pn a boat. Everything was perfect. Maybe just add floor towel but that is advice, not negative comment. Actually the floor is way nice to leave drops of water on it 🙃 😅
• Domagoj (8/5): Very good -
• Emily (10/5): would return, thank you - I mean its a house on the water, with great views and a big tub, whats more to like! nothing, everything was amazing. Thank you
• Nele (8/5): Very good -
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
• So (10/5): Exceptional - Just perfect. What a great stay ! Thank you so so much Everything was perfect
• Huang (9/5): Superb - This is my first experience of houseboat, thanks to Arie for providing me with help and room. I like the occasional wobble and slight flow of water. It makes me feel calm. It's worth to try.
• Caruso (9/5): Superb - The location is nice and quiet, tucked away while in convenient walking/biking distance to most place. Easy and friendly communication with the host. A unique experience worth every penny.
• Samant (9/5): Superb -
