What a fun time, very unique stay in a boat. Lots of room for 3 of us and the deck was so awesome to sit and have a beverage after a day of sightseeing. Han was a great host and was very helpful with our stay and getting us around. Highly recommend.

Han was an exceptional host. Even though we were 12 hours late getting to the houseboat. He was waiting for us and assisted us with our luggage and made sure we were comfortable. The houseboat was awesome. The location was amazing. We were within walking distance of restaurants and shops. The train station and Nemo Science museun were within walking distance also. We had all the conveniences you could ask for on the boat. It was nice to be able to sit on the patio and watch the boats go by. Han wven provided beer, wine, milk and juice for us. And the welcoming flowers were a plus. The only down side is if you have trouble going up and down. We are in our 60s and our grand is 6 and we had no problem. And we are not highly active. But it is something to think about. Overall the experience and location made up for all. And Han was awesome. If we ever come back to Amsterdam we will definitely stay here again. Thank you Han for an amazing 4 days in a houseboat.

From start to finish our stay with Han was fabulous! He was in contact before our arrival and was flexible when we had a train delay. The boat is conveniently located near Central Station and it was a short walk with our luggage to the houseboat. He greeted us upon arrival and gave us a short tour of the boat and also advised locations of grocery stores, and other must have places. He also showed us the bikes that we could use. The four of us (2 adults and 2 kids 11/14) did end up using the bikes to go to the store and they were very convenient. The boat was well kept, quiet and appointed with everything we needed during our stay. The location was great for getting around and our kids even swam in the bay! Thanks for being such a great host, Han!

We wanted a different experience than the usual apartment and Han’s boat was it. Very clean and comfortable but requires some agility to move around…after all, it is a boat. Han was a great host and the location is a short walk to just about everywhere we wanted to go. I highly recommend Bamboo Boat if visiting Amsterdam

Nice, well maintained houseboat with everything in good condition. There are lots of windows and skylights so the boat is not dark. The boat has heating for the winter. The host is extremely nice and stored our luggage for us when we arrived at 11am from our flight. He also rushed the cleaning so we could check in early and nap—wonderful first place to stay after a long flight. There was a large supply of coffee pods for the machine which was appreciated! The area is very quiet after 10pm, the views from the boat are ideal with an outside sitting area. There are bikes you can use to explore the city. It is only 8-10 min walk from central station (follow the instructions emailed, not Google maps) and there are grocery stores within a 10 min walk. There is a short ladder that you need to use to access the main bedroom/living area and the 2nd bedroom requires some dexterity to access so you need to have full mobility. This is a wonderful place to stay for families (especially teenagers), and young couples with plenty of space to spread out and relax. I highly recommend taking a bike tour outside the city to see some of the countryside—most tours start in walking distance from this place.

I cannot recommend Han's houseboat enough. We spent a delightful week and it was a real WOW experience. After long days exploring Amsterdam, the cool breeze off the water and gentle rocking of the boat was remarkably relaxing. Many of the major tourist sites are within walking distance. Centraal Station is only a ten-minute walk, and from there you can go anywhere. Even with four of us, the houseboat was spacious and had everything we needed. The location was serene and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. Han was very responsive and even had beautiful flowers and beverages for us upon arrival. Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy this gem!

The location was great and it was nice to wake up on the water

This was a really cool place to stay. Han was a terrific host, very welcoming and accommodating. He met us at the end of his little road and even carried my suitcase to the boat. Han acclimated us to the boat, explaining where everything was, and how to take care of the boat. He had flowers throughout the space, and had some beverages in the upstairs refrigerator. The main Iiving space has a couch, a desk, small refrigerator, kitchen sink and hot pot. From here one can access one sleeping area and one bathroom. Down a ships ladder to a larger space, with another sleeping area, eating table, bathroom, closet, kitchen area, and sitting area. The kitchen does not have a cooking stove, Han told us rental boats cannot have them. But there was an espresso machine, toaster, refrigerator, dishwasher, hot plate, lots of cookware, dishes, and silverware. The outside area was lovely, with comfortable seating. It was the perfect place to watch the Kings Day festivities, with lots of boat traffic in front of the boat. The boat was very clean and well equipped. Central station , grocery stores and attractions were within walking distance. Although perfect for us, those with mobility issues, and claustrophobia, would find it a challenging place to stay. Han lives in half the boat and is available if, and when, you need him. But he is very respectful of your privacy.
