Very good

Michael was such a pleasant host and my friend and I really enjoyed the few days in Amsterdam. Especially the musical exchange and listening to a few of his vinyl discs were amazing. The boat is close to public transport too and the view at night is simply gorgeous. Plus, since it's a little more remote it was soothing after coming back from the city's bustle

I didn't realise the boat was rather for couples then friends because I overlooked the open bathroom. It was still a beautiful bathroom though. It was an expensive trip for us students too so that the colour of the boat and railing was flaking off was a bit of a bummer. Some incense/joss sticks would be a great addition to the toilet

Special location, location with character, no care by people who own this location

The welcome was great — didn’t expect to be picked up by a host, but we met spontaneously and I was taken care of although the person was busy. It was nice. The location is really great, and the sphere of the ship is also great (if ships are your thing). Overall the facility has a lot of character, and most things work just fine.

The cleanliness of the shower head was unacceptable, and even although I complained it’s not clear if someone takes care of it. If you are on a trip where you need the WiFi, my room was really not suitable for using it and I ended up going elsewhere.

Great Experience

Open kitchen and living area, downstairs bathroom and shower - Modern fittings. Loved that it was on the water. The host was knowledgeable and very nice, gave me a bicycle to go for a spin through amsterdam. Not to mention the bottle of wine on arrival!

Good option for original and convenient lodging in Amsterdam

Well designed, spacious apartment with small kitchenette (no boiling plates, only microwave) and separate bedroom. Big bathroom incl. hairdryer - plenty of space for bathroom items. Heated - we have had a cold weather and it was reasonably warm inside. There is also A/C unit in the bedroom. Great view on IJ river - you may sit at a table on the deck and watch marine traffic. There is a bakery just few steps away and a supermarket (AH) within a walking distance. Very well connected by public transport to all the points of Amsterdam important for tourists.

There are single mattresses in a double bed with a gap between them. The apartment was clean but windows were dirty (I've cleaned them by myself to get an unobstructed view on IJ river from the inside). Withered plants could be removed. Two of the three available table lamps were lacking light bulbs. It would be also useful to get short operation instruction for the apartment (which coffee cartridges fit coffee machine, how to adjust heating, where the trash bin may be emptied, etc.)

Very good. would stay again.

Unique accommodation. Bed very comfy. Plenty of hot water. Lovely big shower. Aircon for heat or cooling. Kitchen equipped but we did not cook. Good, peaceful location near a tram line to get into the centre. Enjoyed sitting on deck watching the view on the waterway. Owner on hand if anything was needed. Very enjoyable stay.

Nothing.

Exceptional

The renovations to this incredible vessel are so modern, homey, and extremely well done. The host was very friendly and flexible to accommodate our needs. It was such an incredible experience being able to stay on the water with all of the modern luxuries of a hotel.

We had everything we needed! I would not change a thing.

Favorite place to stay in Amsterdam!

My fiancé and I absolutely LOVED staying on this boat! It has its quirks as it is an old vessel from the 1930’s. However, the modern renovation and design is very well thought out with stylish touches... a super comfy bed, fantastic shower, a little kitchenette/fridge... and a view that easily beats the majority of hotel rooms in Amsterdam. The sunsets were gorgeous. The neighborhood is quiet, felt safe, and we really enjoyed being just a little bit outside all the busyness of downtown. The owner of the boat was very kind and responsive. We will absolutely stay here again! I’ve been to Amsterdam many times over the years and this was by far my favorite spot to stay!

The only thing I didn’t like about the property is that I couldn’t live there permanently 😆

Good

Liked the location of the house boat. Right in the heart of the city where all the essentials were nearby. Also liked the owner since he was helpful and kind to provide us with almost everything that we needed. He also gave us a Playstation 4 to play.

It was supposed to be Bed & Breakfast. However, Breakfast was not provided and also no facility to cook. Very limited toilet Papers were provided and wasn't sufficient for the entire duration. The TV was also very small.

Aanrader, hidden gem

Value for money and it's a boat :) spacious, very clean and convenient. It's in a quiet area so there isn't any noise except the water, so you can catch a good rest after spending the whole day in the city. The bed and the shower are great.
