Guest Reviews
- Dirk (7/5): Sehr geräumiges Boot - Es war sehr geräumig, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Die Lage war nicht wirklich optimal, da der Flughafen und die Autobahn sich in unmittelbarer Nähe befinden. Mit dem Bus in die Innenstadt dauert es etwa 10 Minuten, aber der Weg zur Haltestelle zieht sich etwas.
- Nele (8/5): - Gezellig en lichtrijke ruimte. Vriendelijke eigenaars. Fijne locatie aan het water. De badkamer is wat klein maar alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. De fietsen hebben hun beste tijd gehad. Voor een ritje heen en terug naar Amsterdam ging het nog wel.
- Omar (10/5): Highly recommend 10/10 - Best experience ever. You should definitely try it if you are coming to Amsterdam. I did stay with my father for one night and it was unforgettable. Nikki is very helpful and very friendly. She made us feel like we are at our place. Highly recommended Everything is perfect.
- Melissa (8/5): Peaceful location with bikes to use! - Loved how quiet and peaceful the location was. The bikes were a great help to get around as this location was about 30 minutes from the city. Host was great and offered some recommendations for food that were delicious! No stove, microwave only.
- marcin (10/5): - The Best place to visit Amsterdam. Great apartment in silent area, bikes and boat to explore the city. Fantastic owner!
- Simona (10/5): Puiki patirtis - Vieta gamtos apsupty nuo miesto triukšmo toliau.
Jauku ir švaru. Galimybė naudotis dviračiais ir valtele. Nemokamai kava ir prie kavos reikalingi skanukai. -
- Vanessa (10/5): - Emplacement super au bord de l'eau !
Stationnement dans la rue face à la maison.
Nous avons profité des feux d'artifice depuis le bateau pour le nouvel an.
Documentation disponible dans la maison sur le quartier et la ville (magasin, transport, musée...) Un grand espace de cuisine mais rien d'autre qu'un four c'est dommage.
- Lorenzo (10/5): Loft direttamente sul canale, molto carino e dotato di tutti i servizi necessari. Wi-Fi stabile e possibilità di usare g - La possibilità di usare le bici e la struttura direttamente sul canale
- Yuliia (10/5): -
- David (10/5): GOAT BOOKING - The location actually was amazing, best pick we could make
Right after we entered the facility we were soo surprised, it was a magical place just as it should be for Amsterdam experience
Best of the best
- Chiara (7/5): - la casa è carina e si può definire un'esperienza insolita. L'oste è molto accogliente e disponibile e mette a disposizione bici e barca Se non si sfruttano le bici, per raggiungere i mezzi pubblici occorre camminare 15 per il bus extraurbano o 20 minuti per il tram della linea urbana.
- Andrii (10/5): -
- Gill Sherwood (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at the boat house. We enjoyed being right by the river, and having the bikes to get about was a real bonus. The property was close to a beautiful lake, which has a cycle path right into the city, which took around 30 minutes at a leisurely pace.
Our host Sander was really helpful, and made us feel very welcome. Also worth a mention is the pool in the garden, the motor boat and the comfy beds.
Definitely a fun place to stay if you are visiting Amsterdam.
Also, the windmill just down the road is worth a visit..

- Alexander (10/5): Thank you, Nikki, for your flexibility and a wonderful stay. -
- Xenia (10/5): Wonderful experience - We absolutely loved the location, the whole experience of staying on a boathouse was unique, and the peace and quiet we found! We woke up and had our coffee next to water with the ducks swimming by whilst the centre of Amsterdam was at 15 minutes driving. Nikki, the owner, was very friendly and helpful and even helped us when our car broke down! We highly recommend it! Nothing all was great!
- Jaler (9/5): Superb - Amazing location by the water, stunning service and lots of help and tips from the owner. Would love to Come back.
- Klaus (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely boathouse on the canal. Suited for group of friends or romantic couple who want to visit Amsterdam and surroundings.
Nikki, the owner helped us to accomodate, showed us arround and even gave us a drink.
You just couldn't ask for more.
Thanks for everything Nikki!
We will see you again.
- Laura (10/5): Beautiful place and experience - Nikki was extremely kind and helpful from the moment we made the booking. The kindness upon arrival just makes everything start with a good foot and then the place is beautiful and calm. It's a bit of a trip from the center and parking in the center always has to be planned, but it wasn't a surprise as the description said it.
- Jackie (7/5): Good -
- Anna (4/5): Disappointing - Small bathroom, no stove for cooking,
- David (8/5): Very good -

- Mccarthy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Monika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): Honestly the best trip to Amsterdam, I’ve been wanting to go for years but never wanted to do the backpacking type of tr -
- Lester (10/5): Exceptional - The ambience of the boat house far outweighes any negatives Nothing
- Bolton (10/5): Amazing - The location was amazing, very nice people, and the boat is great. Nothing
- Jeso (10/5): Room with surprises like motorboat and pool - The room looked like on the pictures. We were able to take the motorboat and have a swim in the the pool. The pool was a big surprise for us!
- Freddy (10/5): Very spacious room with pool in the garden! - It was a big plus to see the pool in the garden because they did not put any pictures on the website of the pool. It was nice to swim in this hot weather and cool off. We also got to use the motorboat and that was the most awesome experience. We also found the shower comfortable. Actually nothing
- Shawn (10/5): Cozy stay and great vew! - The bikes and being able to use the barbeque
- Ryan (10/5): I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Amsterdam. - Nikki was very flexible when it came to check-in and check-out. It was also nice to be able to take out the bikes and boat.
- Luca (10/5): Best stay so far - I recently had the pleasure of staying at the houseboat that exceeded all of my expectations. The houseboat was equipped with everything I could possibly need, including four bikes and a motorboat, which made exploring the surrounding area an absolute breeze.
One of the highlights of the houseboat was the stunning view over the water. It was the perfect place to unwind and relax after a busy day.
The host of the houseboat was also exceptional. From the moment i arrived, i felt welcomed and at home. The host went out of their way to ensure that i had everything i needed for a comfortable stay and was always available to answer any questions or provide recommendations.
One of the best things about the houseboat was its location. Although it was tucked away in a quiet spot, it was only a short 12-minute walk to the bus stop, which made getting around incredibly easy. I was able to explore the local area and beyond with ease, and the bikes and motorboat provided even more options for adventure.
Overall, my stay at the houseboat was an absolute delight. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience with a fantastic host, stunning views, and convenient location.
- Sonya (10/5): Amazing. - I really love the location. It was great to wake up and to have a beautiful view of the water. This was so soothing. We were allowed to make a campfire in the garden. This was also a great experience. It was very convenient to be able to use the bikes. It did not take very long to get in the city by bike. The hostess made us feel at home. I liked that she gave us privacy but always answered the questions we had. We had a amazing stay!
- Ali (9/5): Calm Boat House stay - clean, wide open space and the access to bikes.
well connected by bus (369/397) to centre of Amsterdam albeit 10 mins walk
- Deividas (10/5): The Only Place To Stay When In Holland 🇳🇱 - This boathouse Amsterdam is the one and only place to stay if your coming to Amsterdam I’ve been coming here for few years now after finding it around 5 years ago.
the staff and hospitality is priceless they are very helpful and will give you useful tips 😁
Thank You Nikki & Sander For Such An Amazing Stay Once Again & Hope To See You Again In 2023
- Lukasz_dach (8/5): Very good - A very interesting facility, comfortable for 4 people, you can feel like locals, not like a mass tourist. What is an advantage (quiet location, close to green areas) can also be a challenge (quite a distance to the city center and to the nearest shops). Guests have at their disposal a small boat (which we did not use) and 4 bikes (very good, they worked great). I recommend it especially to those who are curious about a new, somehow less touristic experience.
