Han was a gracious host and responded to our queries in a timely manner. The Boat was clean and in a great location for access to Central Station and all the districts. Great for exploring. The bonus for us were the bikes. The views from the sun deck and living space were fabulous. Wonderful for kicking back after busy days seeing the sights. The Boat was quiet and peaceful especially at night. The bed comfortable. We had no trouble sleeping! As for cooking on board, we had no plans but for those who do be aware there is no cook top or oven, only a microwave, toaster, kettle and single hot plate - (City ordinance prohibits flammable fuels on board.) All in all a great spot. ##### Ian D.

Very close to the main train station with great views of the harbor. Host (Han) was super nice and very flexible with our last minute booking and late arrival. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique, Dutch experience! Boat was very comfortable and had ample room for our party of 3. Refrigerator available, but no cooking appliances and you must be able to climb steep steps/ladder, so not a good option for mobility-challenged. Wifi was good. ##### Benjamin Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin T. 29 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay Unique experience in centre of Amsterdam.

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 ##### Gary B.

Everything your heart desires is within easy reach on foot or by bike. Apart from the occasional siren, we sometimes didn't even feel like we were in a city. The houseboat is very clean and well maintained and Han is a super friendly host who is happy to help with advice. We really enjoyed it and therefore I am happy to give it a 10/10 rating. We will definitely come back. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) ##### Nicklas V.

Han is a great host. Our flight was delayed by over an hour so we arrived late. Han was flexible with our arrival even met us halfway from the train station. He gave us a tour and made sure we were comfortable. The location is great to walk, take the train or the tram. We slept great, beds are comfortable and location is quiet. We would love to stay there again on our next visit. ##### Leanne L.

My husband and I were traveling with another couple to Amsterdam and were looking for a unique lodging experience. This was the perfect place for the four of us. The boat was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. Han met us at arrival and showed us around. He left us with fresh cut flowers and beverages and was available if we needed him. The location is so close to everything but very quiet. We can't imagine staying anywhere else when we go back. Thank you Han - hope to see you again soon! ##### Amy W. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shell B. 27 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An exceptional experience! 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! ##### Shell B. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire H. 6 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing view and location! We stayed on the houseboat for three nights and greatly enjoyed our stay! The boat accommodated four of us easily, beds were comfortable, and it was a luxury to have two bathrooms. Han was a superb host who met us on site when we arrived to show us around, stocked the boat with coffee and drinks, provided four bikes free of charge, and put out fresh cut flowers. The location was amazing just minutes from the train station, restaurants, and museums yet in a quiet location with a peaceful view of the waterfront. There was even a friendly neighborhood cat who came by to visit. We definitely recommend this boat if you are planning a trip to Amsterdam! ##### Claire H.
