- "The staff was fantastic! Breakfast was delicious. They even made our eggs to order ☺️. Thankfully there was a couple walking into the hotel when we were trying to check in otherwise we wouldn't have known what to do. " - "It’s a very unique way to stay in Amsterdam, but we enjoyed it a lot! The staff are lovely and welcoming, as was the breakfast and rooms. The rooms were slightly small - but that’s expected for a boat! It was in a great location, perfect for visiting all the great places in the city."

- "Thoroughly enjoyed our wee stay on Bamboo Boat. The location is super central so just perfect for us. The boat is more roomy than the photos make it appear. Was clean and comfy and a fun place to stay. It would be tricky if you have limited mobility. You can’t cook on the boat, not a bother for us as we were out and about the entire time. Otherwise the kitchen is well kitted out with 2 fridges, wee dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster. Great to have the bikes too. Han was super responsive and helpful before and during our visit. Thanks Han :)"

My houseboat is a lovely, quiet and comfortable place to stay in Amsterdam, close to Carré Theater, Hermitage, Hortus Botanicus, Artis Zoo, and lots of other famous tourist places and last but not least the Amstel river. Enjoy Amsterdam from within!
The houseboat consists of a tastefull bedroom, a modern bathroom, a luxurious kitchen and a warm, comfortable living room with a beautifull canal view. (Officially the rental space is limited to the bedroom and bathroom). Enjoy the view and lovely atmosphere in the quiet historic neighbourhood!
My place is a very stable, solidly constructed and well maintained houseboat. I like to share my boat with guests from all over the world, because it's such a unique and typical Amsterdam way of living.

I would definitely stay here again!!" - "My husband and I throughly enjoyed our stay at the house it! The location is perfect for exploring Amsterdam. Albert, the host, was easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The houseboat has everything you need for a lovely stay. Hopefully, we will be able to visit again and if so we would definitely stay here again.

- "We loved staying on the boat, our kids (3 and 5) thought it was magical and especially loved the swing on deck. A great base for exploring Amsterdam." - "Staying on MADO was the highlight of our time in Amsterdam. It is the perfect home base: quick and easy to get to the hustle and bustle of downtown Amsterdam, but off to the side enough to be relaxing, safe, and quiet for sleeping. Sander answered all of our questions beforehand, sent recommendations of places to eat, things to do etc, and was always available if needed (although we didn't need a thing). The MADO is very clean, exceptionally comfortable, very well stocked (the treats and drinks on arrival were very much appreciated). The space is bigger than the images lead you to believe; I was afraid of feeling trapped, but not at all! Lots of windows and space in the little suite. We loved watching the locals swim and sun bath next to the boat, and the kids enjoyed swimming too. We WILL be back (and for longe next time). Thank you for a wonderful experience ❤️"

A unique waterloft located in a beautiful marina on the Westeinderplassen. The water loft has all modern conveniences and a modern and luxurious finish.
The water'loft has a spacious living room with dining area, kitchen island and a nice sitting area with luxury TV. There is also an excellent screen door in the sliding door against mosquitoes and insects. From April to October you can enjoy an outdoor terrace with seating area on the decking. Through the corridor with separate toilet, you enter the sleeping quarters. There are two sleeping arrangements (1 King-size bed and 1 Queen-size bed) and an open bathroom. The beds are out of sight of each other but they are not two separate rooms.
The water loft gives an optimal holiday feeling. Enjoying on and by the water in the beautiful flower town of Aalsmeer. Located close to Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport.
Aalsmeer, the flower village, is internationally known as the cradle of flower cultivation. With the eye-catcher, of course, being Flower Auction Royal FloraHolland, the world's largest marketplace for flowers and plants. Other absolute must-sees are the fragrant rose gardens of the Historical Garden, where plants and flowers awaken nostalgic feelings, and the museum of floral art: Flower Art Museum.
The water loft is also a great base to visit 1 of the nice beaches on the Dutch coast or other beautiful villages and towns in the area. And of course in spring the Keukenhof and the tulip fields.
- "Myself and 2 family members chose the Aalsmeer houseboat to explore Amsterdam and Keukenhof gardens. The houseboat is super cute. It’s a 35 minute walk to the bus station and we took an Uber for 10 euros because it was raining. Then bus to Hoofddorp to catch a train to Schiphol airport then on to Amsterdam Centraal station. I ate at Del Harbor restaurant, about a 5-7 minute walk for dinner one night and it was delicious. We wanted an affordable houseboat option and were very pleased with our choice. The host was very professional and helpful."

We didn't miss anything in the accommodation : ) thanks a lot, we'd love to come back!" - "Only stayed here for one night but wish it was longer! Gorgeous location on the water." - "Wonderful quiet place, just outside of Amsterdam (20min. drive to downtown). Surounded by boats and other houseboats. Very clean and cozy. Equipped with everything we needed. Instructions where easy to follow and communicate with Anne quick and very friendly. Airplanes is really the only thing you can hear every once in a while, due to the proximity to the airport. It was perfect for us, since we headed out the next day. Took us 10 min. to the airport. We enjoyed our quick stay very much."

- "Beautiful 2-level space located within the bow of the family home (a small ship). One’s quarters are completely separate from the vessel’s full time occupants. The space is modern and clean, with wide open views over the river IJ. I biked there, multiple times back and forth to the city center. Pleasantly located away from the crowds, but an easy bike to the Central Station and main Canal Districts. Bike rack just onshore. Guest must be able to navigate spiral staircase connecting upper & lower level, accept the subtle movement of the vessel, and be happy to warm the space as needed with the space heater provided, which worked very well to make a comfy space on the water. Suitable for 1 or 2 guests. Host is very professional and responsive."

- "Where to start??? Gerben (and Rodinde) was the ultimate host, the houseboat was incredible, and the location was exceptional. We didn't know what to expect since the property was brand new to VRBO, so you can imagine our surprise and delight that EVERY detail had been thought through. From heated floors to plenty of kitchenware to a lighted mirror in the bathroom (not to mention the fancy Japanese toilet and sauna!), we felt very pampered. For my daughter and me, it was the perfect place to spend a few days and decompress after she returned from Semester at Sea. We had the best time sitting on the deck and waving to boat tours going by! We were also surprised how quiet the neighborhood was despite its proximity to the train station and the heart of the city. We are so grateful to Gerben and Rodinde for helping us create such beautiful memories and will absolutely return one day!"

we run our ship, with solar energy, organic products, to mention just a few ...)

The Western Islands: Bickerseiland, Prinseneiland and Realeneiland are three islands in the center of Amsterdam. They are located south of the IJ and the “Naval heroes neigborhood” (Zeeheldenbuurt). between Central Station and Amsterdam-Sloterdijk, west of the Westerdok and east of the Planciusbuurt on the Westerkanaal. The Western Islands form the core of the Gouden Reael district, part of the Centrum district, which also consists of the adjacent Westerdokseiland, the “Haarlemmer neighborhood” (Haarlemmerbuurt) and the Planciusbuurt.
The Western Islands are a small world in themselves, are suitable for walks and nowadays often the setting for filming. From the beginning, there have been warehouses and shipyards on the Western Isles. They formed an important part of the atmosphere on the islands, a combination of working and living.
Close to the famous Jordaan area and weekly markets such as the "Noordermarkt" are also just around the corner on Saturday and Monday. A lovely area with many things to do and see!
The surroundings are very beautiful with the old canal-houses, old bridges and cobbled streets. It is a joy to walk around the narrow streets and canals and enjoy all this beauty. Located from only a 10-minute walking distance from the Westerpark where you can relax, walk and enjoy nature.

Great location." - "We had an amazing visit to Amsterdam thanks to our HomeAway Houseboat Rental. We were situated exactly where most would prefer, it was very quiet on the water at night. Arie was a very gracious host who always responded quickly on any questions we had, before and during our stay. Lots of special touches that were very much appreciated, like plenty of fresh towels, designer soaps and more. Easy going and helpful. Definitely recommend Arie's houseboat when visiting Amsterdam!"
