To wake up in the morning with the reflection of the sunlight on the surface of the water and hear the water birds singing is a unique way to live within the city. To share with you the experience and feeling of living on a houseboat in the canals of Amsterdam, we created a stylish and comfortable bed and breakfast on our houseboat. We are very proud of the result and would like to welcome you on our BedonBoard. The BedonBoard is a beautiful light room with adjacent private bathroom in a new, spacious and modern houseboat. The room is located on a quiet walkway near the Westerpark and at 500 meters from the Jordaan. The room has a comfortable king-size bed (1.80 x 2.10), a modern bathroom with private toilet, shower. There is a fridge, a water boiler and a coffee maker. You can also sit outside the B&B on the terrace at the entrance. BedonBoard is located 500 meters from the heart of the Jordaan, in the historic center of Amsterdam. The Jordaan is an area full of small restaurants, terraces, fun shops alternating with beautiful canals, small streets and with a variety of wonderful historic buildings. The Jordaan borders on the well-known shopping area the Nine Small Streets (literally: Nine Little Streets) were you can also find many small shops and cozy restaurants. Within walking distance you will find highlights like the Anne Frank House, the Westertower, the Dam square, the Royal Palace and the Amsterdam Historic Museum. BedonBoard is easily accessible by car and public transport (see below under "Accessibility"), but once you're here, the easiest means of transportation is by bicycle (see tab "Bicycle rental"). The BedonBoard is a 10 minute walk from the nicest shopping street in Amsterdam (and awarded second best shopping street of the Netherlands 2011): Haarlemmerdijk and about 15 minutes from Central Station or Leidseplein. It is a further 500 meters walk North to the beautiful, and recently fully renovated Westerpark, also known as the "Culture Park" of Amsterdam. In Westerpark you will find a classic Victorian style park section, a large center section for cultural events and a more rugged part with trails for walkers or runners. Centrally located in the park you will find the Espresso factory with simply the best coffee Amsterdam has to offer. Enjoy a superb breakfast in the nearby bakery shop. Every Sunday of the month there is a farmers market in the park. If you're looking for something very close to the BedonBoard, we recommend the Pavilion. In summary, a peaceful but central location in a nice neighborhood in Amsterdam. ACCESSIBILITY:     From the airport you can take a train to central station (20 min). From there you can either walk (20 minutes), take a cab (approximately € 13) or take bus 21 (less than 10 minutes). To take bus 21. When you arrive at Central Station, exit on the city side (main exit). Take bus no. 21 and get off after 5 minutes at the stop “van Beuningenplein”. On the other side of the street you will see a large square with a play garden: the "van Beuningenplein". Take the road left of this square (Tweede Keucheniusstraat) and follow 150 meters to the very end. You are in front of your BedonBoard! When you decide to come by car. You can almost always park your car in front of the BedonBoard. However, Amsterdam is not very "car friendly" as the city charges rather high rates for parking. Alternatively, go to Park and Ride Amsterdam for cheaper parking options. The Park and Ride that is closest to us is the "P + R Sloterdijk". The cost for Park and Ride is € 8 per day. They offer return tickets for public transport free of charge.

Hosts were very pleasant and kept a low profile allowing us to do our own thing but helpful when needed. Highly recommend this canal boat stay. Different. ##### Anthony F.

Bed on Board was PERFECT!! A cute Houseboat, a very clean and tastefully appointed bedroom with very nice private bathroom. Doet is a wonderful Host, everything is perfectly layed out and explained. We Americans made our way walking and via Bus and everything was perfect. We would love to return some day!! If you are looking for a romantic getaway spot - or just a quiet, private space for a few days - this is IT!! Thank you for Everything!! ##### Ja Y. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mindy O., Barrington 29 Nov 2018 #### Min and Jim; Providence, Rhode Island, USA We loved staying on Doet's and Sven's charming boathouse in Amsterdam. It's in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything we wanted to see and do. The hosts, Doet and Sven, were a perfect combination of helpful and available, but really left us to enjoy their city on our own—unless we had a question. They are very knowledgable about their city. The room and bathroom were spotless and looks exactly as it does in the photo. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets and towels were very nice. We would highly recommend staying on Bedonboard. It really made us feel like we were a part of a city that most tourists don't get to experience. It was truly wonderful. MIn and Jim (USA) ##### Mindy O. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mike M. 24 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### "Luxury Boathouse" First of all, the title of the place is totally misrepresented. The hostess was extremely rude and hard to work with. The unit is a bedroom in the Host/Hostess' houseboat. They have 2 teen age boys who, with the husband and wife were constantly slamming doors even until the late night..12 midnight+. Also, the razor thin door was no barrier from hearing their LOUD conversations late into the night. The bedroom did have a sliding window to open to outside air, but there was no cross ventilation and no AC and no fans. Opening window was exposed to afternoon sun and the bedroom was extremely hot. Over all, I believe the unit is overly represented by the Host and it was a miserable 3 days. ##### Mike M.

My only feedback is that the check-in process was a bit stressful... the host insisted on sending a video that detailed how to check in, which was an inconvenience because the video was too large to send via the VRBO app, and required using valuable phone data to download (I was traveling abroad & on a limited phone plan). And in the end, the video was totally unnecessary (all we needed was the lockbox number). Getting to the bottom of all of that was a stressful & drawn-out process, while we were traveling into Amsterdam via train. If we had been flying directly into Amsterdam it would have been untenable. But once we arrived & settled in, it was a lovely room. The room is located inside the host's houseboat where they live, so you do have to walk through the host's shared entryway to get to your room. The window that opens out onto the canal was very nice, and it was lovely watching ducks swimming just outside our room. Another reviewer was disappointed at the view across the canal being a brick wall, but it wasn't a problem for us--we actually appreciated the privacy it provided. We enjoyed having a glass of wine in our room, looking out onto the canal. There are several great coffee shops nearby, and a lovely park. Overall it was a nice place to stay, and we very much enjoyed our time in Amsterdam! ##### Anna M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kerstin M. 19 May 2024 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Not a VRBO At the time of our booking this listing was described as a house boat with one room, a bathroom and kitchen. Upon our arrival we discovered it was only one room of a house boat with at least three other bedrooms. Two bedrooms adjacent to the one we rented were occupied by the hosts and another below ours was rented to other visitors. The hosts and VRBO created a very misleading listing. The hosts were extremely noisy, using loud voices and slamming doors until midnight. There was no kitchen it was only a very small refrigerator, a kettle, coffee maker and a set of dishes for two all in the corner of the bedroom. No sink and no way to heat foods. We washed our dishes in the small bathroom sink. The toilet barely had room for a 6’ person to sit without hitting their knees and the shower is only partially enclosed splashing water onto the floor in front of the sink. We were contacted four times after making our reservation. The first time Doet explained she needed an extra payment in cash when we arrived due to her forgetting to raise the rent for the high season. All communication was thru the VRBO app until we arrived in Amsterdam; then we were instructed to call the provided phone number so our hosts could estimate our arrival time. Doet answered and said Sven would greet us upon our arrival at the house boat. He let us in the room and made sure to collect the extra euros I was charged for our reservation. Sadly, we are extremely disappointed with VRBO :-( ##### Kerstin M. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### SABRINA 3 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication très bon accueil de notre hôte, vraiment très sympathique et avenant. Parle bien français! nous a bien conseillé. Le logement est bien placé, à l'écart mais très calme et accessibilité rapide vers les pistes cyclables. chambre confortable. Par contre, logement un peu petit. Et des rideaux occultants seraient la bienvenue pour le matin. Très bon séjour. ##### SABRINA Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Manuela B. 3 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Kein Luxus B&B Nicht wie in der Beschreibung von der App „FeWo-direkt“ angegeben, durften wir das Zimmer pünktlich betreten.Trotz des starken Regen wurden wir abgewiesen und mussten eine Stunde warten.Das Appartement/Zimmer entspricht nicht den Bildern. Dunkel, sehr sehr klein. Ungemütlich!Wir hatten uns ein Hausboot sehr gewünscht. Dann aber doch lieber ein Hotelzimmer mit Komfort! Das Zimmer entspricht keinen guten Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. ##### Manuela B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024
