- Andrea (10/5): - Wir waren sehr begeistert von diesem Hausboot und haben den Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genossen. Vielen Dank für diese wunderschöne Erfahrung! Besonders die gemütliche Terrasse und die herrliche Atmosphäre haben den Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Ein perfekter Ort zum Entspannen und Wohlfühlen – absolut empfehlenswert!

- Amandine (9/5): - Bon emplacement, et la peniche est munie de tout le nécessaire. Très mignon. Terrasse un peu etroite... Un parasol serait le bienvenu
- Whitney (10/5): Beautiful houseboat on glistening water with a central-yet-peaceful location - The location is central but also very quiet and peaceful
- Michelle (10/5): -
- Lidia (10/5): Would stay here again when visiting Amsterdam. - Amazing experience living in a houseboat in Amsterdam. Loved the balcony and watch the boats go by. Very spacious. Great location and close to many sights and beautiful canals.
- Catherine (8/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): The quintessential Amsterdam experience! - We loved how quaint the houseboat is and being right on the canal. It offered a unique experience that felt like quintessential Amsterdam. We loved that we could walk to major historic sites like the Anne Frank house and to major museums such as the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. It is an easy walk to the train station too. We were able to get to other major cities in The Netherlands by simply walking to the train station. We loved everything about this adorable canal boat!

- Jenny (10/5): Lovely houseboat experience! - Wonderful houseboat in a great location! We felt very comfortable staying here for a week, it was a special treat. Joane was very lovely & communicative. It was a dream to stay here, beautiful spot.
- Josef (9/5): Wonderful experience of life on a houseboat in the centre of Amsterdam. Well equipped / comfortable. - Situation was perfect. Everything you needed provided and great bars and restaurants close by. Museums and sights all walkable. Central Station only 15 minutes by foot made for an easy arrival. Would love to come back again. Nothing
- Jenny (10/5): -
- Sophia-Louisa (10/5): We fell in love with Amsterdam because of Bonnie - Bonnie is wonderful! The feeling Bonnie gave us was incredible… it was like coming home instead of coming to a hotel room… the location can’t be better! For me there will not be a visit in Amsterdam without Bonnie
- A (10/5): I wish I was still there - This is my most favourite place I’ve ever stayed. The boat has so much thought into how it is put together. The location is exceptional for access to great stores and restaurants, not to mention the charm of watching boats float by the kitchen window as you make your coffee.

- Julie (10/5): Pure bliss !!!! - Location is perfect !!!! Wonderful views & very romantic . We had a great stay and can’t wait to return . Loved sitting on the deck each morning with croissants from the bakery 2 minutes away . Nothing !

- Βασίλης (7/5): Όλα ωραία, η περιοχή στο Άμστερνταμ υπέροχη! Το σπίτι είναι όμορφο αν ήταν πιο καθαρό θα ήταν 10/10 - Η τοποθεσία και το σπίτι βάρκα Η καθαριότητα στο κρεβάτι.
Βρήκαμε τρίχες στα σεντόνια και στο μαξιλάρι.
Τα σεντόνια και τα μαξιλάρια δεν είχαν καθαριστεί!

- Michelle (9/5): Toller Aufenthalt im wunderschönem Amsterdam auf einem wunderschönem Hausboot. - Ausgezeichnete Lage, nur wenige Gehminute bis ins Centrum und zum nächsten Supermarkt. Unkompliziertes Einchecken und sehr schöne Einrichtung des Hausbootes. Kleine Terrasse mit tollem Blick aufs Wasser. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder. Keine negativen Eindrücke.
- Lorna (9/5): Jumped at the chance to stay on a traditional house boat and so glad we did, will stay again! - Beautiful location in the canal belt, which is exactly what we were looking for. Easy walk from Central station and to other areas of the city. Plenty of cafes, bars, restaurants and boutique shops within walking distance. I was arriving in the evening and the owner left a key in a lock box, really well communicated. Very clean, plenty of space, beautiful terrace overlooking the canal and amazing shower! The extra blanket in the living room was a god send as I got quite cold on the first night, but there is heating (you just might have to adjust the radiators to get it to your liking. Little bit of noise from local bars into the early hours, this was fine for us after we got used to it and was expected as other reviews mentioned it.
Westertoren bells toll every 15 minutes. Took a while to adjust to this, particularly on the first night, it wasn't too much of a disturbance for us but worth being aware if you're a light sleeper! We became quite fond of them in the end. We also found the bell tower useful to have as a landmark close by, for navigating to and from the boat!

- William Mott (10/5): Fantastic Experience and location - Fantastic and well equipped house boat in central and quieter location. Was better value than a hotel and a much more memorable experience. nothing
- Janina (10/5): Amsterdam - Es un alojamiento muy típico de Ámsterdam, creo que vale la pena. Está a pocos metros de la casa de Anna frank, en el barrio Jordan, a pocos minutos caminando tanto de la estación como del centro histórico.
Es precioso y tiene todo, súper completo y lindo. Es muy ruidosa la zona.
Me gustó hospedarme ahí, pero esta frente a un bar que hasta las 3 de la mañana se escuchan gritos, y muy cerca de una iglesia con campanadas cada hora. Es lo único que no me gustó.
- Tegan (10/5): -
- Jenny (10/5): Absolut empfehlenswert - Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Der Kontakt im Vorfeld war super, das Hausboot ist richtig schön eingerichtet, es war alles sauber und Lage könnte zentraler nicht sein.

- Xianjun (10/5): Perfect! Living in a houseboat is much better than staying in a hotel! It's a perfect experience. -
- Angela (8/5): - Location was excellent
The houseboat was different to accommodation we've stayed in before.
- Mackenzie (10/5): Nothing better than staying on a houseboat on the canals of Amsterdam! - Great location and such a great place to stay while visiting Amsterdam! Rutger and Joan were amazing to work with, super helpful! Nothing
- Martha (10/5): Go for an authentic Amsterdam holiday. - We felt like we had the best authentic experience in Amsterdam. It was a lot of fun seeing all the boats go by. The location is very central. We were only 1/2 block from the Ann Frank house. For greater distances Ubur was able to find us. We walked to most sites. The boat is clean and had some supplies.
- Liselotte (10/5): -
- Scott (10/5): -
- Alec (9/5): Beautiful and unique stay in Amsterdam! - Outstanding location and such an adorable houseboat! We loved sitting on the patio and watching the boats go by. Also, the WiFi was strong and good for working remote. We'd love to come back here again! We visited during a heatwave so it was a bit hot -- providing a fan may be helpful for future summer guests! The noise from the local bar didn't bother us since we use a white noise machine app on our phones.

- Amy Roush (9/5): Unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience - Beautiful view of the canal from the patio. Great location. Such a unique and wonderful experience to stay in a houseboat on the canal. The houseboat offered plenty of space and conveniences. We really enjoyed our stay! The houseboat was filthy when we arrived, however, I was able to get in contact with the owner, and she sent a cleaner over within an hour. The cleaner did a great job and apologized profusely for the miscommunication. If you get motion sick, you will feel the boat moving, so just be aware of that. Also, it is loud in the evenings, so bring earplugs if you have to go to bed before midnight. The bed could use an upgrade, but not a deal breaker.

- Barry (10/5): A perfect place for a unique experience in Amsterdam. - The property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The location was perfect and the experience memorable. The multi-use kitchen/bathroom sink made it hard to get ready in the morning as there isn’t a mirror above it.
- Keith (10/5): Such a lovely stay in a beautiful spot. Would definitely stay again. - Lovely little place on the canal and very close to everything. Very scenic and it was nicely decorated and equipped with everything we needed. The owners were so friendly and very helpful and prompt in answering my questions. Perfect stay!
- Natalie (10/5): Incredible houseboat - Amazing location and surprisingly spacious. It could be slightly noisy at night. Not an issue for me but if you’re a light sleeper you might want to use ear plugs or headphones
- Deborah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vanessa (10/5): Staying at Bonnie was a wonderful experience and made our stay memorable. - The location couldn’t be better. There wasn’t much we didn’t like. If I had to say anything…it would be nice to have very tiny side tables next to the bed.
- Lianne (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything from the House Boat, how comfortable it was to the location, not too busy but lively enough not to be too quiet, which is exactly what we wanted inAmsterdam, it was a good location. It was also very dog friendly, which was a huge win for us! We are absolutely booking again! There was nothing we didnt like.
- Larry (6/5): GREAT ONE NIGHT HOUSEBOAT STAY - We like the location of Houseboat Bonnie. There are many excellent reviews listed in the Daily register. The taxi experience was very nice and helpful to get to the airport. We were disappointed in the ability to communicate with the owner through Booking.com. We had a problem and could never reach the owner until we actully made a phone call. Since there are many foreign renters, we would recommend further information regarding the range, tv's, grocery stores nearby, restaurant recommendations and general usage for the facilities. We were disappointed that there was no soap, shampoo, or other toilet ammenities such as tissue paper. These items are normally supplied for a stay like ours. The cleaner left one broken garbage bag with sides torn for our use. As far as we could tell, there was no heating facilities for the cold weather we experienced. We could not enter the property from the front. We had to use a side yard and move plants in order to gain access. The white truck in the front did not move for the entire 4 days we were there and blocked all access. Most of the plants on the patio could use assistance.
I am also a host for a piece of holiday condo rental. l attempt to ensure all these items are included to those who rent from me. It is my assumption that you want to know this information in order to assist in future rentals.

The location was absolutely perfect—central yet peaceful—and the boat was spotless and full of charm. It gave us a true taste of Amsterdam living, even for just one night. Highly recommend for anyone seeking something special!
- Helen (10/5): Beautiful, unique boathouse in an excellent location. - Houseboat Bonnie is a beautiful, unique property in the heart of the Jordaan area. It was an excellent location and very comfortable.
Having the terrace was an added bonus and it was wonderful to enjoy a glass of wine in an evening and watch the world float by.
We are already planning our return. There was a little noise from a bar on the other side of the canal, but once I popped my earplugs in I slept like a log.
I have some mobility issues and there were a couple of steps on and off the boat, but the handrails were helpful.

Wonderful to have access to terrace to sit in sunshine away from street and watch canal parade of tourist boats go by. Minor things…Bathroom door needs a bit of a tune up. Shower squeegee needs replacing.
