Guest Reviews

• Kathrin (7/5): -
• Sara (10/5): Sleeping on a houseboat is an unforgettable experience. The environment is cozy and tastefully furnished, and it also of - Atmosphere Nothing
• Regula (10/5): -
• Iva (9/5): - Location, equipment, comfortable bed, excellent communicaton with the host. Highly recommend. The carpet needed a little bit more cleaning. Otherwise nice and tidy.
• Martina (8/5): Wir hatten sehr relaxte Tage in Amsterdam. - Es war herrlich auf dem Hausboot. Schöne, ruhige Lage, aber mit der Bahn in 10 Minuten im Zentrum. Schöne Einrichtung, sehr, sehr nette Besitzer!
• Tobias (9/5): Besonderes Apartment - Das Hausboot liegt in ruhiger Lage, aber in der Nähe gibt es Anbindungen an die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel, mit denen man schnell im Zentrum ist. Das Apartment ist gemütlich eingerichtet und hat eine angenehme Größe. Es ist alles an Ausstattung vorhanden, was man so benötigt. Checkin und -out super unkompliziert. Vermieter gut erreichbar und es gab ein kleines Begrüßungsgeschenk. Hatten leider nur zwei Nächte gebucht, wären aber noch länger geblieben.
• Saskia (9/5): - Die Wohnung im Hausboot war sehr schön, die Einrichtung ist geschmackvoll und es fehlt einem an Nichts! Die Tram ist schnell erreichbar, so das man innerhalb von 15 Minuten in Central Amsterdam ist. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit und haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt! Lediglich der Holzsteg zum Boot war etwas "schwierig", da er durch den Regen sehr rutschig war und das Licht nur in eine Richtung direkt angeht. Aber wir haben es erfolgreich geschafft, nicht ins Wasser zu fallen 😅
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Paulo (9/5): -
• Margaret (10/5): The perfect base for our family weekend - even in the rain. Highly reccomend - Beautiful location, so comfortable and wonderful host.
• jordi (10/5): -
• Noel (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - Great location, wonderful houseboat - clean and stylish. Excellent hosts. Nothing - it was perfect.
• Betty Elisabeth (8/5): Lovely host and great place to stay, a bit pricey but might have been because it was Amsterdam Sail plus 750 years anniv - It was a typical Dutch houseboat Cobwebs and spiders in bedroom. I found the bed very low almost on floor, got a bad back so not very easy. Bath towels were more like hand towels, too small
• frank (8/5): Unique ervaring omdat we met de boot konden aanleggen en naar de Sail konden varen - Unique ervaring omdat we met onze sloep konden aanleggen bij de accommodatie. Zeer attente eigenaren. De inventaris was een beetje bij elkaar geraapt. Geinig maar doet een beetje rommelig aan. De steiger langs het schip voelde een beetje onveilig omdat de planken slecht waren. De algehele staat van onderhoud was matig.
• Miranda (8/5): Heerlijk rustige lokatie op fietsafstand vd stadse drukte - Lokatie weg vd drukte. Op een boot slapen. Nvt
• Bianca (9/5): Genoten van de unieke ervaring van slapen op het water - Erg leuke woonboot, gezellig ingericht, veel licht en ruimte -
• Sarah (10/5): What a wonderful place - This is a beautiful houseboat, and so peaceful. Although the location is a little bit outside Amsterdam, it's easy to get there via the tram. Bob and Josta are so friendly and helpful, and they added some lovely touches with the welcome pack. We had such a great time and couldn't have asked for more. N/A
• Richard (9/5): - Close proximity to metro/bus. Very quiet Deck was a bit iffy when wet.
• Tom (10/5): Perfect Amsterdam accommodation - The houseboat was great. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. They visited us a couple of times to organise the parking, but left us to our own devices. The boat is shared with the hosts, which we didn't mind at all! The houseboat was in an amazing location, 10min walk to the #26 tram and 10min tram journey to central station. The lagoon was peaceful and sitting on deck with a beer watching the sun go down was fantastic. We loved being able to visit the city, but come back to the peace and quite. Definitely coming back. Nothing
• Jenny (9/5): Rare opportunity to experience living on a houseboat with the most lovely hosts! - Amazing opportunity to stay on a houseboat with such lovely hosts! Plenty of room, pretty location, and even a chance to go swimming right outside your front door! Nothing
• Nick (10/5): Unique and wonderful stay - Spacious, beautiful location. A unique experience to stay on a wonderful boat which was equipped with everything you need.
• Tanya (10/5): Great location, peaceful and quiet. - We loved it! Very unique, well appointed with all the amenities you need. Bob was great to deal with, greeted us and helped us with our luggage. He also left us a bottle of champagne and some snacks for our 25th wedding anniversary celebration. Certainly recommend for anyone looking for something a little different. Remember it’s a boat, so someone with mobility issues could find it a little challenging, however, we found it added to the experience Nothing
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - The boat was lovely and we imagined to enjoy some sunshine during our stay there. The beds were comfortable and we had all the amenities we could possibly need. Bob and his family were very welcoming and friendly. All was great :)
• Eric (9/5): Excellent boathouse experience closed to the center of Amsterdam - Spacious and nicely decorated, perfect for small families. Access could be difficult for those with limited mobility, which was not our case.
• Alexander (9/5): Great accomodation & location -
• Christa (10/5): Not only the location is pretty cool, but also the landlord. Made it very easy for us. - Really cool atmosphere. Easy-going, welcoming and helpful landlord.
• Brannon (8/5): Brilliant - Lovely boathouse overlooking the river .. Brilliant location everything you need for a weekend away Nothing
