- Sabrina (10/5): Toll, jederzeit wieder. - Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Ausstattung und Sauberkeit. Die Lage ist sehr schön und es isr sehr ruhig. Super Anbindung an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. Wir würden sie auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.
- Katja (9/5): Tolle Möglichkeit in Amsterdam zu übernachten. - Klein, gemütlich, tolle Lage. Das Boot liegt in einer sehr gemütlichen Community. Zugang war leicht und unkompliziert. Zwei kleine schlafkojen, für jeweils eine Person vollkommen ausreichend, zu zweit pro Koje, stelle ich mir schwer vor. Die Wohnung ist sehr klein, aber dafür mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Besonders in der Küche ist wirklich alles da.
Super an das öffentliche Verkehrssystem angebunden. In 15min in der Stadt.
- Diane (6/5): - Very quiet and lovely surroundings, Very dusty, holes in the sheet, quilt was very thin, flooring was coming up and caught my toe which hurt, no toilet provided, couldn't get any TV channels it kept saying that you need to subscribe to the channel and the decor was a bit outdated.
It looked a lot nicer on the advertisement and for nearly £700 for 4 nights I would have expected something better.

- cornelia (8/5): - Nette Gastgeber, unkomplizierter Kontakt.Wir hatten alles was wir brauchten.ruhige Lage.
wir waren das 1.mal in einem Hausboot und würden es wieder buchen. Betten sind etwas klein für 2 Personen.
etwas ausserhalb vom Zentrum.mit Uber aber kein Problem.

- Małgorzata Zawisza (8/5): - Spokojna okolica, fajny klimat. Utrudniony kontakt z gospodarzem obiektu.
- Benjamin (6/5): Good location and interesting stay - Good location and WiFi. Interesting property to stay at being a barge. Poor communication between the host and booking.com. Was told someone would meet me at the property at my check in time. To find know one arrive and have to call multiple people to arrange key access as a guest is poor.
- Sonia (10/5): Fantástica experiencia - Nos gustó mucho lo cerca que estaba del transporte público, muy tranquilo, muy cómodas las camas, estaba muy bien equipado con todo, y los dueños muy amables. Nos ayudaron en un momento dado, en todo. Darles las mil gracias de corazón. ❤️
- Benjamin (10/5): Sehr schöner etwas anderer Aufenthalt, immer wieder gerne - Das Hausboot hat einfach charm und es hat Spaß gemacht an Bord zu sein. Auch das es in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend ist etwas außerhalb des ganzen troubles von Amsterdam . Ich kann diese Unterkunft jedem nur empfehlen . In der Beschreibung könnte besser erwähnt werden das, das 3. Bett eine Schlafcouch ist aber auch diese war gemütlich .

- Merche (9/5): Acogedor barco a una cómoda distancia del centro - Muy buena primera experiencia en un barco, estaba limpio y era cómodo, muy calentito. Dos habitaciones dobles y un sofá cama. La cocina estaba bien con cafetera, café y té, y el baño bien también.
Tiene un bar restaurante muy cerca, a buen precio y buena comida Está bien para gente joven, pero las escaleras podrían ser difíciles de acceder para alguien mayor o con problemas de movilidad.
Las tiendas y supermercados están un poco lejos.
- Cathleen (6/5): Kleine Ferienwohnung in schöner Gegend nicht fuer 4 Personen ! - Das Hausboot liegt in einer ruhigen Gegend. Es war schon schön dort an der Gracht zu uebernachten. Im Boot selbst war es immer schön warm und gemuetlich.Silvesterabend mit schöner Aussicht aufs Wasser und das Feuerwerk.Anbindung an die Innenstadt war leicht zu finden und klappte einwandfrei. Die Aussenanlage war sehr schmutzig, auch das Oberdeck . Einige Dinge waren kaputt, so wackelte die Eingangstreppe und der Klodeckel. Wir mussten das Besteck nachspuehlen, da es klebte. Fuer 4 Personen war es dann doch sehr eng. Wir durfeten oben im Fuehrerstand nichts ablegen und hatten dann Probleme mit unseren vielen dicken Jacken, da ja Winter war.Leider war der Parkplatz vor dem Boot kostenpflichtig und nicht gerade wenig. Der Parkplatz ausserhalb der uns empfohlen wurde war weit weg und am Ende noch teurer.

- Vikki (10/5): Something different for a one night stay - Only a short bus ride from Amsterdam central and easy to find. Check in was easy with clear communication and we had everything we needed in the houseboat. We only stayed one night, but we could easily have stayed longer. There was 3 of us staying, but only 2 large towels and 2 hand towels. This wasn’t a major problem with only staying 1 night, but another large towel would have been good.
- Simon (10/5): Perfect short stay on a beautiful boat. - Location is perfect! Comfortable, clean and quiet.

- Jonjo (10/5): Dream stay in the dam! - Lovely little place. Plenty room for two or even three people. Really quiet neighbourhood. Excellent cafe bar Joost a 20 min walk away. A bit of a trek to get to public transport.
- Albanese (10/5): - Bella e particolare, per chi vuole vivere la vera Amsterdam consiglio vivamente
- javier (10/5): -
- Nicholas (10/5): Friendly, fun, quirky property near to Central Amsterdam - Old world Dutch charm, clean tidy property beautiful sun deck Nothing really it was exactly as described and in a beautiful friendly location
- Malgorzata (10/5): - The boat is fantastic
- Mikhail (9/5): -
- Odile (10/5): - Le logement était original, bien placé, dans un quartier calme et agréable, avec toutes les commodités et les transports à proximité. Un vrai bonheur.
- kerstin (10/5): -
- Danielle (9/5): Nice comfortable boat and relaxing feel to it. - Lovely boat with more room than a hotel room. Felt homely. Comfy private beds. Nice to have a fridge. Untidy area at the front. A little isolated. Not much around where the boat is.
- Jan (8/5): - Comfortable, good space. Could have some wash cloths in addition to the provided towels. And some fresh coffee.
- Liz (9/5): -
- Dorothee (9/5): Alles in allem alles super und wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. - Vor allem die Lage und die absolute Ruhe! Es ist zwar etwas außerhalb, aber mit dem Bus gut zu erreichen. Die Küche ist mit dem nötigsten ausgestattet, alles was man für einen Kurztrip braucht. Es ist sehr gemütlich und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Was m Was beachten muss, wer nicht sehr beweglich ist, für den ist der Einstieg durchaus schwierig bis unmöglich. Aber wer fit ist, der kommt rein und raus. Die Darstellung passt nicht zu der tatsächlichen Situation. Es gibt zwei Betten in jeweils einer „Koje“ und ein Schlafsofa. Nicht wie beschrieben, 1 Zimmer mit 2 Betten und ein separates Bett. Die Handtücher könnten mal einen Austausch vertragen und das Spannbettlaken auf dem Sofa, da hätten wir uns gewünscht, dass das ausgetauscht worden wäre.
- Tash (7/5): - Very cool property in a lovely quiet location!
- Linzi (10/5): Great stay in a lovely boat - The boat was in a very peaceful area with great public transport links into the center. Very comfortable and clean with everything you need for your stay. Fan's we're provided due to the hot weather also.
- Jacqueline (7/5): Good - We liked the peace and being out of the city centre. However, it was too small for 3 people. Cabin beds are very comfortable. Sofa bed awful. Felt safe but strange set up with the door to the apartment. We couldnt secure the entrance to the apartment. And the entrance stairs are only for the able. Very steep. Entrance to the cabin. Stairs not secured onto the wall. Smaller than the pictures.
- Nik (7/5): Good - The kitchen.
The location (bus 43 is the closest public transport).
Staying in a boat is a lovely experience.
If you are tall (above 6 feet or 2 meters), this is likely not for you.
It feels like a tiny home but super well organized and practical. The kitchen needed at least one good knife. The towels and linens could use an update. They felt old, I agree about the reuse and reduce, but as far as first impressions go this would certainly create a more positive one.
Otherwise everything else was there if you like to cook. Sleeping accommodates at the most 3 adults.
You need to be able-bodied to get in and out of the place. This needs to be better explained. Ladder up and down.
For my aging folks this was doable but a bit of a surprise nonetheless.
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Naomi (9/5): We loved our stay on the houseboat, it was unusual but so cosy and the host was very welcoming. Would love to stay again - Very cute and cosy, was in an interesting neighbourhood and very nice host. An unusual option for a stay in Amsterdam. Less privacy, due to location moored next to the footpath and other people coming in and out of neighbouring houseboats.
- Claire (8/5): Very good -
- Tracy (8/5): Very good -
- Adrian (10/5): A quiet spot convenient for central Amsterdam. - Comfortable houseboat in a quiet part of town. Good bus and tram connections to the centre, convenient shops and a bar nearby. If you’re going in summer, pack a swimming costume as the water quality is good and you can swim directly from the boat. No complaints - just be aware it is a boat, so you need to be comfortable with steep staircases to get in.
- Carolyn (6/5): Really enjoyed it - Loved being on the water- a lovely novelty.
Host was a great communicator Advertised as a double, 2 singles & a sofa bed but it was a double, large single & sofa bed. Bit tight for 4 people.
- Kristina (9/5): Superb -
- Lars-åke (8/5): Very good - Nice place and ver kind and generositet people Who livet there, we hade a Great time.
- Mary (9/5): Enjoyed out stay very much, we were made very welcome on arrival and found everything we needed, with transport easy to - Staying on the water, we found it cosy and comfortable, with everything we needed. The entrance stair to the front of the accommodation was difficult without a hand rail.
- Melissa (9/5): Lovely little houseboat - Very quaint, cute little houseboat. Very friendly owner. Ideal location. Nothing
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alex (7/5): Good -
