Guest Reviews

• Paige (10/5): Perfection. Gorgeous Vies - Absolutely amazing place. I was initially disappointed that we couldn't find a great place in Jordaan but this location was perfect. It was an incredible experience and my teens will always remember staying in the upstairs sunroom. We loved having the kitchen and grocery store within easy walking distance. We only purchased one restaurant meal while we were there. Gorgeous views. We highly recommend. nothing.
• Anna (10/5): Great space! Clean, private, everything you need. Quiet location yet only 5 min walk to city center. - Extremely clean, comfortable, and private. It felt bigger than the photos, and the kitchen/living space had a nice couch + seating area. The location was a 5 min walk to cafes and the busier town center - very quiet and close to anything you need. Coffee/tea/toiletries were provided, has all the basics. You can walk to the row of houseboats from 2 entrances (one entrance directly in front of this address), and Uber/Bolt found the location for pick-up easily as well. Great communication from the host. Would definitely recommend this houseboat! Nothing, it was exactly as listed and provided everything you could need.
• Thomas (9/5): -
• Paul (8/5): - Location to train station. Quirky. Well equipped. Stairs to top bedroom much steeper than anticipated.
• Paul (8/5): -
• Markus (10/5): Gute Lage, aussergewöhnlich = super. - Lage zentral, super, alles zu Fuss erreichbar, romantisch, tolle Aussicht,.. Einweisung hat super geklappt. Parkhaus in der Nähe. Besitzer erreichbar und sehr freundlich. -
• Sheena (8/5): -
• Jonathan (10/5): - The views are great Nothing great place to stay
• Laura (10/5): - Fantastic location. Gorgeous houseboat. Perfect for 4 people. Good communication from the host. Nothing, it was great.
• Cristina (9/5): Estadia pitoresca e calma no centro de Amsterdão - A localização é excelente! Perto da estação central (10’ a pé) e perto das principais atrações da cidade. Mesmo central é muito calmo e confortável. Tem tudo o que é necessário para cozinhar . Somos 2 casais maduros e Adoramos a estadia. Óptimas instruções e contacto com o proprietário! Gostei de tudo. Importante saber que o segundo quarto é mais pequeno e tem acesso por uma escada um pouco íngreme. Em compensação tem uma vista fabulosa para o rio.
• Horn (10/5): - Great location and comfortable.
• Sabrina (8/5): - Die Lage ist Top, die Wohnfläche ist für 3 Leute optimal! Küchenausstattung und Badezimmer war ausreichend. Die Heizung hat tadellos funktioniert, es war genug Warmwasser vorhanden! Die Stufen um ins Hausboot zu gelangen sind sehr schmal und man muss auf den Abstand zwischen Boot und Steg achten . Die Stufen um ins obere Schlafzimmer zu gelangen sind sehr steil und schmal, aber wahrscheinlich für Amsterdamer Verhältnisse normal :-)
• Alicia (9/5): - Nice experience. Right on the main harbor. Good location in the city.
• Rachel (9/5): -
• Roxanne (9/5): Unique stay in Amsterdam, in an updated houseboat. - Great location and place was as advertised- comfortable lodging and worked great for 2 couples. Elevated room was a bit awkward with little room to put suitcase- but it’s a houseboat, so we understand things can be tight.
• Takeshi (10/5): -
• Patricia (8/5): - Die Lage ist toll, um die Stadt zu erkunden. Das Hausboot liegt in einer ruhigen Umgebung. Alles notwendige war verfügbar. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit.
• Kim (8/5): -
• Anna (9/5): -
• Lynne (10/5): Great location for a quirky stay. - Conveniently located yet away from any noise. IT was warm and well equipped. Nothing
• PETROS (10/5): -
• adam (10/5): - Πολύ ωραία όλα
• Dhainaut (10/5): -
• Yavuz (10/5): -
• Andrey (10/5): Would come again! - Great cozy place in the very center!
• Simone (10/5): -
• Fabrice (9/5): - Super emplacement (en face du siege de Booking) certes un peu proche d'un boulevard mais près de la gare et du centre ville. Bien chauffé et confortable pour 4. quelques manques pour faire la cuisine. un four mais pas de plat. pas de saladier. manque dans l'entrée un porte-manteau ,un endroit pour mettre les chaussures. proche de la route si vous avez le sommeil léger.
• Kathleen (10/5): Beautiful location, peaceful and close to everything. - This was a great place to stay! Lovely view on the water, near Central train station, and a quiet peaceful location. I have been to Amsterdam a number of times and this is probably the best place I've stayed overall in the city. There really was nothing I didn't like. We had absolutely everything we needed and I would certainly stay here again.
• Elisa (10/5): -
• Pedro (10/5): Curta pero perfecta - L’espai està en perfectes condicions i l’atenció personal fantàstica
• Vacale (10/5): - La vista della camera era spettacolare
• Mary Louise (10/5): - Great place to stay in Amsterdam, the location is perfect and the boat is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Responsive and helpful host. Nothing
• Victoria (8/5): Quirky different place to stay - Close to the station yet out of it enough to be quiet at night. The boat is lovely and quirky and the instructions on arrival were perfect. There are some small maintenance items that need attention and perhaps some new bedding, but overall it was good and we enjoyed our stay.
• Hennadii (10/5): -
• Diana (9/5): Geweldig - De afstand te voet naar het centrum…gezellig en mooi verblijf Mwah!! Eigenlijk was alles goed geregeld
• Nejoum-Nanche (8/5): Escapade entre amies - La loterie était incroyable (elle va nous manquer) et l’originalité de dormir sur une péniche (cela ne bouge absolument pas)… 😛 L’accès à la chambre supérieure une peu difficile …
• Marion (10/5): Houseboat tres agréable - Localisation parfaite, propre et fonctionnel Ras
• Birgit (9/5): -
• Jonathan (8/5): Excellent location and a unique hotel experience - Excellent location and a unique hotel experience. Amazing views from the upper bedroom! There could have been more towels and cleaning supplies provided.
• Leonie (7/5): Safe quiet option for a short stay. - Walking distance to train station, old town, and shops. Quiet location that felt safe. Good household facilities for a family stay. Upper level bedroom accessed by steep ladder-style stairs with limited railings making them feel unsafe especially for moving luggage or accessing lower level during the night. Some damage needing repair. Little items missing like a plug for the sink.
• Mary (10/5): Wonderful - Amazing location and facilities
• Maedy (10/5): -
• Frank (7/5): - Location to city attractions was good. Bed was comfortable Modern appliances Poor view of water due to another house boat attached to this houseboat. No soap dispenser in WC, no hand towel in WC Very steep steps to 2nd bedroom,
• Stephanie (9/5): Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen -
• Keith (10/5): -
• Thorsten (9/5): Alles top!!! - Super, citynah, tolle Location
• Anja (5/5): Overpriced - Die zentrale Lage Sehr einfache, schon etwas heruntergekommene Ausstattung. Die Bettwäsche wurde in der Kammer getrocknet, war verwaschen und hat unangenehm gestockt gerochen. Die Wand zum Nachbarn war nur mit sichtbarer Dämmwolle abgetrennt, die Schrauben der Fensterscharniere waren alle locker und die Schränke waren noch gefüllt mit Kosmetikartikeln der Vorgänger. Der Preis ist für dieses Sammelsurium an abgewrackten Möbeln und muffiger Bettwäsche viel, viel zu hoch.
• EMMA (10/5): Expérience unique très agréable ! - Emplacement et originalité Rien
• myriane (8/5): - Literie très confortable. Très joli salon avec fauteuils pivotants Parfaitement situé pour la visite de la ville. Barre de douche cassée. Climatisation en haut qui fonctionne seulement en intermittence avec un énorme bruit, pour dormir c'est compliqué. Heureusement la deuxième nuit nous avons perdu 10 degrés donc plus besoin de la Climatisation pour dormir. L'appartement n'a la Climatisation qu'en haut dans la chambre bocal (heureusement car nous y étions avec seulement 28 degrés mais c'était un four). Je pensais que la chambre du haut avait accès sur la péniche (romantique) mais ce n'était pas le cas. L'appartement sentait fortement les égouts dans les toilettes. Pour le prix (852€ pour 2 nuits) je suis un peu déçue
• Gerald (8/5): - L ambiance péniche Déco Literie Proximités centre Il manque une terrasse sur le toit pr pouvoir apprécier pleinement la vue
• Jeannette (10/5): - It was clean and centrally located The steps to the upstairs were very thin. If the back was removed and steps were wider it would be safer, especially for older people.
• Raymond (7/5): It was different - Location is great. Quiet area. Staying somewhere different. Upstairs bedroom was small. No place to put your bags or place items. With four adults and four suitcases, cases spread to the lower area. The steep stairs up to the bedroom were “exciting”. Banged my head once on the porthole leading up.
• kevin (10/5): A hidden gem in a convenient location. - A 12minute walk from the train station, staying on a boat with a fairly secluded outside space, what's not to like! There is a well stocked Jumbo supermarket, 15 mins walk. Space outside to park hired bikes. All water, heating and air con worked flawlessly. This is not a luxury destination, but it is a clean, well appointed, good value option for folk that fend for themselves. All communication with Jeffrey was prompt and polite. I bumped my head on the hatch leading to the upstairs bedroom more than once, my own fault I suppose. Some padding on the edge would have helped.
• Chris (9/5): Superb -
• Preston (9/5): We are hoping to stay there again soon. As we didn’t have much time this weekend as it was only a stopover on the way ba - Absolutely spotless and quite close to the centre. It would have been absolutely amazing if there was a little outside space to look over the river. But the street outlook at the outdoor space was fine. Rockwool insulation behind the curtain as you walked in to the space. Only as it can cause some skin itching problems for people with sensitive skin. I know there’s a need for soundproofing and insulation but maybe there could be a better solution. And maybe the memory foam mattresses and pillows. If there was a way to rectify this I can’t see anything else wrong with this lovely houseboat. I would stay again even if this wasn’t changed thinking about it.
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amberrodriguez (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our stay at the houseboat! The host was great, the location was amazing, and the houseboat itself was wonderful. Extremely clean, very well appointed, and close to everything. We loved our stay here! Everything was great!
• Dennis (8/5): Very good -
• Peterson (9/5): Great place to stay and experience the house boat life in Amsterdam! - Location was great, 12 minute walk to Centraal Station. The boat was comfy and the view from the upper bedroom at night was spectacular! Could have used a few finishing touches like hand towel and soap in the toilet area, trash can in the shower room, lamp in the bedroom etc. Minor details only.
• Lynette (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jack (9/5): Superb -
• Janine (10/5): Excellent, easy to deal with host - We loved the location and houseboat had everything we needed and wanted. Very clean. Maybe a better pillow and mirror in water closet. Minor things. Overall excellent
• Michelle (9/5): Very Dutch and great fun - Something a bit different and very in keeping with Amsterdam style. All good
• Karol (9/5): Superb - Location NA
• Tom (10/5): Lovely houseboat! - Loved the location. Was very central. Perfect to get to places easily. Disliked how scared I was to drop the key in the canal when I used it for the door haha. But that's my only issue with the place. It was very nice.
• Suzanne (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer! - Fabulous spacious houseboat close to central station. Great views. Everything you could need in the houseboat. Brilliant communication from host. Nothing not to like!
• Diana (7/5): It is ok place to stay overnight and close to the train station. -
• Chalina (10/5): Great houseboat conveniently located near downtown. The space was clean and well appointed to accommodate our small grou - Unique space with room for a small group of friends, great location! N/a
• Melissa (10/5): Exceptional - We had a lovely stay at Jeffrey's houseboat. A very unique experience for staying in Amsterdam. Excellent location for accessing train station. Had all the amenities we needed. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and washing machine came in handy as we've been traveling for some time.
• Neil (10/5): We loved our stay and will definitely visit again! - The houseboat matched the listing and was a cool, fun way to spend a few days away with my youngest child. Everything was clean and well maintained and there was everything there that we needed. The location was good as well because it was just far enough out of the noisy centre, but the centre of town was an easy, quick walk away. Also well located for the zoo.
• Craig (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chong (7/5): Good -
• Eka (10/5): Exceptional - Nice view, everything is there. Very cooperative guy.
• Frank (9/5): Overall we loved our visit - Houseboat was different which made it interesting. Location was fantastic. Heating worked well and hot water etc. Bedding - especially the pillows were not comfy.
• Elliot (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joyce (8/5): Clean and comfortable houseboat - Clean Comfortable Close vicinity of neighbours ( passing our window to exit their boat and the window large and inside visible) Steep stairs to upper bedroom
• Ralph (9/5): Brilliant location and different accommodation from the norm! - Location of the boat was superb. Minutes from Centraal Station and pretty much the whole city was within walking distance, we didn’t need public transport once Boat was warm and comfortable, relatively quiet and well equipped
• Lemmens (9/5): To be repeated! - Clean and original location close to the center and Central station. Waking up with a view on the water is a bonus. Everything was okay. No downside.
• Renae (9/5): Houseboat Style - This houseboat was very nice and clean. The location was very close to the train station which was a plus. Beds and furniture were very comfy. The stairs going into the house were very slim, not wide. The stairs to the loft were also very steep, but we managed. The 2 white stands by the main door should be bolted down, as I reached for one for stability and fell by the door onto the cement, very dangerous with nothing to hold onto.
• Kelvin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gemma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kay (10/5): Made a pleasant change from staying in hotels. Definitely stay again. - Location was spot on. Good view of the canal. Nice stroll to the centre. Good outside area to sit in. Could maybe offer tea that’s not herbal.
• Samantha (8/5): Very good - The Houseboat is in a great location. Just a short walk from the station, but nice and quiet. Jeffrey was easy to deal with, and check in was really easy. Although the kitchen seems well set up, the oven was not connected, only the hob. So it wasn't possible to oven cook or grill.
• Darlene (9/5): Superb -
• Lowe (9/5): Perfect spot to explore Amsterdam - Location was perfect
• Jitka (10/5): I have nothing to complain about. - Good location, close to the center. Perfect for a walk. The equipment of the houseboat is flawless. Kitchen fully equipped. The bathtub in the bathroom is a nice bonus.
• Mathew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Meri (10/5): Exceptional -
• Heather (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent communication from the time of booking. Location in easy walking distance to all the main sights and transportation links. The houseboat was clean and very comfortable with everything you could need for your stay. N/A
• Mel (10/5): Exceptional - Great location Close neighbors
• Alia (9/5): Superb - Location No outside sitting
• Linda (7/5): Great location for those looking for comfort, not classy. - The location was within walking distance to the train station and the main parts of Amsterdam. The bathroom was nicely updated and the toilet was separate from the shower. The beds were comfortable. The owner was quick to respond to texts and came immediately when I asked him to oil the doors as they were so squeaky. I was under the impression that we would have an unobstructed view, but there was another houseboat right alongside this one with guests coming and going so it wasn’t as private as we would have liked. There is nowhere to sit and enjoy the water view from anywhere on the houseboat outdoors. The provided chairs were on the street in front with no water view. The carpets are old and should be replaced. The entryway is a bit tricky to maneuver.
• Emilia (10/5): Highly recommend - Location in the close center of Amsterdam, close to all tourist attractions. Owner very nice and contact from his side excellent. The house on the water was clean and the amenities matched 100% to the description. We are very satisfied and recommend
• Kelly (9/5): Great great great - Great location, stylish, comfy, well equipped Loved it, but some music would be a welcome addition
• Kasi (10/5): Pleasant stay and centrally located. - Close proximity to Centraal Station. Houseboat was comfortable and well laid out. A unique stay. Construction outside all night, but this was outside control of the owner. Fortunately, the house is well constructed and reduced some of the noise.
• Keith (10/5): Incredible place - A few minutes walk from the station, from clearing customs at the airport to getting to the via train only took 20 mins! I missed an email (later found in my junk) detailing the arrangements for getting the keys. A quick call to the owner clear that up.
• Donna (10/5): Perfect - Brilliant location. Spacious, clean, well equipped property
• Joanne (9/5): Superb -
• Oliver (9/5): Beautiful and comfortable houseboat with an incredible view and excellent location - A very tastefully decorated and fully equipped houseboat. When inside, it is more like a small luxury apartment, very stylish and comfortable. It is really the upstairs bedroom that is amazing and gives the boat-feeling with a great view of the harbour. Very quiet, comfortable, excellent host and beautiful houseboat at a great location. We were very happy with it all. For the bedrooms I would suggest two single duvets instead of one big one, as it makes it a bit easier to have kids share the bed. It was all ok though and we were very very happy with the place.
• Andrew (9/5): Great location and communication- property was clean and had everything we needed - The location was amazing, and the beds were super comfortable. Steep steps to upstairs- nature of the boat though- perhaps the silver handrail could be a little more secure.
