Guest Reviews

• JP-Menetrieux (10/5): Un séjour très agréable. - Logement atypique avec un sol un peu penché ce qui est tout à fait normal. Le propriétaire est vraiment très agréable et serviable. La localisation est vraiment sympa: proche mais pas trop de la gare et éloigné mais pas trop des quartiers touristiques et festifs. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de terrasse pour profiter de la soirée. Attention les gros formats la douche est petite, mais honnêtement, je n'ai pas eu de problème malgré ma corpulence.

• Camilla Hu (10/5): Fantastisk atmosfære tæt på centrum - Stor anbefaling herfra, hvor man får lov til at overnatte i en båd tæt på Amsterdam centrum. Virkelig hyggelig lille båd med skrå brædder og super god atmosfære og venlige værter. Der var ikke noget at sætte på stedet, rent, pænt og alt det man skulle bruge til et par dage i Amsterdam. Båden lå i et stille område, hvor man sagtens kunne gå til diverse turistattraktioner. Vi ville komme tilbage.
• Will (10/5): -
• Wereleopard (10/5): - The hosts (very friendly and happy to help) and houseboat were fantastic and it's in a great location - near the station and easy to get everywhere but far enough it's not too loud. The hosts leave a list of recommendations of places to go and places to eat (some very good ones and they will happily advise on others). Highly recommend for solo travellers as it's a great base to visit the city but is also a nice place to relax in itself (the bed is really comfy)!
• Hatten (10/5): We'd highly recommend this place! - It is located in a convinent part of Amsterdam, what was especially nice was how quiet and peaceful it was in the evenings. The host, Hank was a very lovely man and gave us many great recommendations. The boat overall is beautifully decorated and has a cosy atmosphere. There really isn’t much to not like about such a lovely place. If you like lots of space then this place may not be for you as it’s on the smaller side, but we personally loved this cosy vibe.

• Jochen (10/5): - Ein wunderschönes Hausboot in bester Lage. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und geben hilfreiche Tipps. Sehr zentrale, ruhige Lage. Die Central Station und das Stadtzentrum sind in wenigen Minuten gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Boot ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Alle Räume sind zwar klein, aber vollkommen ausreichend, sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich, komfortables Bett. Die kleine, aber vollkommen ausreichende Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet, mit zusätzlich Kaffee, Saft, Tee, Kekse, Nüsse... Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
• Stefanie (10/5): -
• Thiago (10/5): Ótima experiência! - Vivenciar a experiência de viver um barco, ainda que por poucos dias, é muito interessante, especialmente quando somos recebidos por hosts muito simpáticos e prestativos em uma hospedagem bastante conservada, aconchegante e elegante. O host, Hank, foi muito atencioso conosco, tanto na chegada, que ocorreu muito tarde por conta de um enorme atraso do trem que nos levou até Amsterdã, quanto na despedida, quando, inclusive, nos apresentou o restante do barco (onde ele reside), o seu simpático companheiro e o cão da família. Havia snacks e suco na cozinha (há um frigobar), além de um mini guia com sugestões de restaurantes e outras atrações próximas. Nos sentimos verdadeiramente acolhidos. O Hank é o tipo de pessoa com quem você gostaria de sentar e conversar por um longo tempo. A localização é boa, pois, além de muito tranquila, fica próxima ao centro histórico da cidade. Porém, esteja ciente de que precisará caminhar um pouco (por volta de 10 a 15 minutos) até chegar às principais atrações e à estação central ou, mesmo, aos principais pontos de ônibus ou tram. De toda a forma, esse é o custo de não dormir no meio do agito noturno de Amsterdã. Além disso, o trajeto na orla é bastante agradável e seguro (o fizemos durante o dia, a noite e muito cedo pela manhã sem qualquer problema) e se você tiver restrições com caminhadas, não pagará caro por um transporte de aplicativo, desde a estação de trem ou até ela (lá você encontrará todo o tipo de transporte para qualquer lugar na cidade). Esteja ciente, também, sobre o óbvio. Trata-se de uma cabine de um barco, então, não espere o conforto e o espaço de um quarto de hotel. O acesso é feito por meio de uma escada bastante íngreme que, talvez, seja um desafio para pessoas mais idosas (mas, tudo isso está claro no anúncio, então não pode ser considerado um ponto negativo, tão só, uma particularidade desta experiência). Em resumo, recomendamos muito a acomodação. Pretendemos voltar em outra oportunidade. Amsterdã tem se tornado uma cidade muito cara para se hospedar e aqui não há uma exceção. Entretanto, pense que o valor cobrado não difere muito do praticado por hoteis básicos do centro da cidade que não oferecem uma experiência única como a oferecida nesta hospedagem.

• Hans (10/5): - Das Boot ist wundervoll! Ein gemütliches Zimmer am Heck mit Zweier-Schlafkoje, Minibad und Miniküche. Alles da, was man braucht. Wir haben uns ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt. Am Bug und am Steuerrad haben wir einen Kaffee genossen. Die Lage ist zentral und überraschend ruhig.Onno und Hank sind sehr aufmerksame Gastgeber! Wir wären gern noch geblieben ... die Zeit ...
• Maximillian (10/5): Cozy, comfortable room on a houseboat - What a delightful stay! We love the location close to Centraal Station and central Amsterdam while being enough out of the way to be quiet. The boat is cozy, warm, and comfortable (we visited in cool weather). The hosts are friendly and very helpful with suggestions for our visit to Amsterdam. We loved everything about it! It is important to know that you need to be able-bodied to get on and off the boat, and larger people or people over 6 feet tall might be less comfortable here due to the cozy quarters.
• Thiago (10/5): - Really lovely boat in Westerdok, a quiet street/canal quite close to the Central Station in Amsterdam. Mr. Hank provided us amazing tips about what to do in the city and we surely had the best of our vacation in the Netherlands.
• Stanley (10/5): - Tolles Erlebnis auf einem Schiff zu übernachten Tolle Gastgeber Super bequeme Betten Top Lage
• ANNE (10/5): Very nice unique stay on a houseboat - Lovely houseboat in a great location near Central Station. Hank was very nice and helpful with suggestions where to visit. Good space for me as a solo traveler.
• Karin (10/5): - Cosy, ruhig und zentral gelegen, gepflegt und voll netter Details. Die Betreuung durch Hank war liebenswürdig und unkompliziert. An Sonnentagen bleibt es angenehm kühl im Boot und bei Regen hört man die Tropfen sanft aufs Dach klopfen. Ein wirklich gemütlicher und freundlicher Ort!
• Peter (10/5): -
• Amy (10/5): Great location, beautiful house boat, fantastic city. - Great location in a quiet neighbourhood very near to all the sightseeing in central Amsterdam and central station. All within walking distance. A beautifully presented, quiet and pretty houseboat with friendly and helpful owners. The boat is well equipped and has all a couple would need for a lovely stay. It’s a unique and fun place to stay if you are visiting Amsterdam and we would definitely stay there again. Nothing not to like
• Kaif (8/5): Very comfortable, clean, pleasant, and convenient. - The most pleasant surprise was how comfortable the bed was! Apart from that, the location was good, and the host was very kind, friendly, and helpful. Kitchen and toilet amenities were also well-supplied.
• Clara (10/5): Very convenient location for city centre. Very comfortable - It was very warm and cosy, spotlessly clean and nice decor Everything was good.
• Barbara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cheung (7/5): Good - Very nice owner, boathouse is well equipped and clean. Pleasant experience staying at the boat!
• Mark (10/5): A delightful unique experience, in a great location - Outstanding- a unique experience staying in a beautifully restored cabin on a boat on a canal. Spaces are small, the bed is a box bed and the steps up and down are very steep- but it’s so well organised that we had everything we needed for our four night stay. Super helpful but not intrusive hosts. About 12 minutes walk from Central Station.
• Kate (9/5): Perfect and unique stay in the heart of Amsterdam. - Wonderful stay in a unique Amsterdam canal boat. The location was close to all the attractions and central train station, but in a quiet neighbourhood. The bed was super comfortable & the shower hot. Host Hank was very welcoming. We highly recommend Westerdock 25.
• Marnie (10/5): Exceptional - The cabin was very warm and cozy. The bed was also very comfortable. The boat was in an ideal location and was a short walk to Centraal station and town. Supermarket facilities were close by and the hosts were warm and accommodating. We would highly recommend staying here. Nothing
• Ferdinand (8/5): Very good - Very friendly, perfect location, excellent and lovely kept interiors
• Skorupa (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay was perfect! The boat was spotless and is located in a great location. Hank is a helpful and friendly host, while being unobtrusive. We highly recommend staying in this stunning location:)
• Alexa (10/5): We stayed at Westerdok25 for four nights, and everything was perfect. - Amsterdam is renowned for its hundreds of floating homes along the canals, and Westerdok25 is one of them, offering a truly immersive experience of the Dutch lifestyle. In my opinion, it’s absolutely fantastic. The cabin is small but cozy, with every detail carefully thought out. For two people, it feels quite comfortable. I highly recommend it to couples looking for a unique getaway, allowing them to fully embrace the charm of beautiful Amsterdam. The only caveat is for older guests, as the steep staircase might be a bit challenging. The location is unbeatable, just a 10-minute walk from Central Station. I also want to take this opportunity to thank Hank, who was incredibly kind and helpful, providing us with plenty of helpful tips and information to make our vacation even better. Nothing, I really enjoyed my staying
• Toms (10/5): Exceptional - A beautiful location and lovely, helpful host. It was a great experience to stay on a house boat and the cabin was lovely. The bed was bigger than we thought it would be and very comfortable. The cabin was a fantastic base for exploring the city and it was everything we wanted but just be aware it wouldn't be ideal if you want somewhere you can lounge around with only a chair or the bed as your options. Thankfully we had beautiful weather and an amazing time exploring and just used the cabin as a base and to sleep which was perfect.
• Mcilraith (10/5): Terrific experience staying on this boat on a quiet canal, close to Centraal Station and many must see places. - Nice, quiet location on the water. Clean and cozy. Many things within walking distance. Hank was an excellent host. Nothing
• Arna_m_a (9/5): Loved the location and atmosphere of the experience. - Great location. It's close to shops, restaurants, public transport and everything you need, and yet it's a really calm area. Not to mention how beautiful the surroundings are. Hank, our host, was also really nice and helpful. He provided us with a great list of recommendations for cafés, grocery shops, and restaurants to name a few. He even made sure we had fresh flowers which we loved. It takes a while to get used to staying on a boat because everything is on a slight angle, but that's nothing to fault the host for and really just a part of the experience.
• Bianca (10/5): An experience ! - Very quaint house boat with a lovely host. It was certainly an experience and great for a few nights. The location is very central to everything! The bed is curved as it is on a boat. If two people were staying and over 6 feet they would struggle to fit in the bed (and shower). We were fine as I am quite small and my partner took the “straight” part of the bed.
• Patrick (6/5): Pleasant - Its proximity to central Amsterdam. Its perfect for a young fit couple. We are in our 80's. 30 years ago ot would have been absolutely perfect. In addition,every home should have a Hank He went above and beyond what we expected It was a bit small for our needs
• Dick (10/5): It was a unique stay. Very enjoyable - Its uniqueness Happy
• Abby (8/5): Very good -
• Lynne (9/5): Beautiful cosy appartment on the water near city centre with superfriendly and helpful host. - Beautiful peaceful location near centre and station. Wonderful friendly host who was helpful in every way. Accomodation is small but has everything you need.
• Gemma (7/5): Hank was very helpful and friendly the boat was clean and comfy and so close to the city centre, if you want the whole s - The property was very cute and relaxing and clean I think could of had some sort of cooking facilities i.e microwave
• Ali (8/5): Very good -
• Julie (9/5): Great place ,great location - Lovely ,clean and warm...bijou, well maintained, great location Only negative was no cooking facility at all... a microwave/ oven could have been useful to us
• Karen (8/5): Very good - I loved how friendly hank(the host) was. He was always very responsive and helpful. Everything we needed was available, very cute and cozy place inside. I loved the views around the boat, i enjoyed very much my night walks back to it. Very safe neighborhood. The place is quite small, but expected for a room on a boat. Also the location is a 10 mins walk from amsterdam central and a 20 mins walk from dam square. In the winter this could be challenging as the bus schedule in amsterdam is a bit messy (at least to the boat's location). But overall no problem at all i loved the place, i would recommend it to any tourist:)

• Julie (8/5): Unique stay and great host. Wouldn’t stay there again as an older person who likes a few more luxuries. - Unique experience on a lovely houseboat. Great location. Wonderful host. Very small and not easy getting in and out of the bed for older folk who need to go to bathroom often. Would have liked couple of glasses and freezer compartment in fridge.
• Chris (10/5): Fun, comfy and in excellent location - Fabulous location, wonderful hosts and such a special opportunity to stay in a quirky fun type of accommodation - totally recommended
• Adrian (8/5): Unique short stay accommodation. - Unique experience of staying on a house boat, with lots of character, in what felt like the captains quarters, In a quiet part of Amsterdam.
• Kim (10/5): Amazing experience! There was nothing we did not like :) - Amazing experience, I never thought staying on a boat would be so cozy and comfortable but it was and way more! We read some great things about the hosts, Hank & Onnu, and they really are all that. We were worried it was going to get hot during summer with no air con, but it was actually really chilly at night and great to snuggle in the blankets. Overall will definitely stay here again when we visit in the future Nothing, everything was perfect
• Birgit (10/5): Unique accommodation in a very central location. Great hosts. Highly recommended - The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. Hank and Onno are lovely hosts, very friendly. They also provided a great list of recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. NA
• John (10/5): We’re really glad that we chose something different to experience our first visit to Amsterdam. Perfect. - Sleeping on a boat was a unique experience for us. Our hosts were wonderful; they provided us with excellent guidance on dining, entertainment, sightseeing, etc. And they were good people, too.  the whole experience was really charming and different than anything we’ve ever experienced.  The location is really very hard to beat. The accommodations were snug but very comfortable. Great bathroom, but small, as you’d expect. Nothing comes to mind. 
• Dasa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Iain (9/5): Would definitely stay again - Host was awesome with his communication leading to our stay as well as local knowledge, on top of just being a lovely, friendly fellow. Loved the location- we walked everywhere, as well as from & to Amsterdam Centraal station. Nothing at all. Loved it. I would suggest that it is not for couples that need a lot of space.
• Hannah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joana (10/5): Very nice experience, amazing location and super host - Super charming experience ! The space: especially bed and shower can feel a bit tight, but the experience is worth it
• Anatoly (10/5): Amazing place (and hosts!) very well located centrally and still in a quite area. Strongly recommend -
• Ben (10/5): excellent 👍 - beautiful old boat. staying in a piece of history. a bit different than staying in a hotel. it is in a great location being so close to the station and the main areas of the city, yet it is quiet and not busy.
• Rebecca (10/5): A cosy, charming boat that makes for the perfect stay. - Such a great location, just a short walk along the canals to central but in a nice, quiet area. The boat was absolutely perfect and exceeded my expectations. It was so charming, very sweet, comfortable and cosy. The hosts, Hank and Unno, couldn’t have been any more welcoming. I would recommend this boat to anyone coming to Amsterdam and we’ll definitely be back to stay again 😊
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ben (10/5): Exceptional -
• Solomeya (10/5): It was a great experience! - The location is very convenient, it is close to the central station and the centre of Amsterdam, but at the same time the neighborhood is quiet and safe. The boat is really cozy and full of authentical details.
• Joanna (8/5): we loved our stay. the property in a beautiful part of Amsterdam a little calmer than staying in the heart but only arou - it was beautifully cosy & thoroughly enjoyable. beautifully decorated & especially liked all the beautiful pictures & original features. it was January when we were there so cold but cabin perfectly heated. would love to stay there in springtime as could use the delightful deck area. Hank is an amazing host & so knowledgeable a gorgeous man. the sleeping area a little cramped only because my husband is a terrible snorer & his snores vibrated around & there was no escape ha ha ha 😳♥️
• Tommaso (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful hosts, great stay! A+++
• Rick (8/5): Very good - Hank is the perfect host; friendly, informative and welcoming. The boat was very clean and in a great location. The shower door was a bit awkward to open and close.
• Peter (9/5): Great experience!!! - this accomodation is really unique.small but functional.don't think i would recommand the facility for handicapped people. Hank was a gracious host who like to help his guests with all kind of useful information and even drove us to the railway station when it was raining on our last day. a little too far from the centraal station about 20 min walk along the water front
