Boat with a view

Had been to Amsterdam but not stayed on a boat. This was a wonderful option and it gave us the perspective of being on one of the many homes you could live in floating on a camel. Loved it. Location location location.

Bamboo boat stay in Amsterdam.

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.

Great "Amsterdam" experience! 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.

Something different in a great location

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

Stay in August 2023

My family of four enjoyed our stay immensely. We were delayed by lost luggage and Han waited for us to make sure we got situated. The boat was great fun, well equipped and exactly as described. The location is very convenient, and the views from the boat are amazing. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Amsterdam!

Fantastic House Boat With Centralized Location

House boat was fantastic! Han was a great host and has done some great personal customized carpentry and other nice features to his house boat. The place is well put together and very convenient walk from Centraal Station and many other attractions in Amsterdam. We came with our 2 elementary aged boys and they loved it!

Perfect location and lovely host

The boat is absolutely gorgeous and in a perfect spot! Our host was very hospitable and had also provided us with a very generous welcome pack. Waking distance from everything and incredibly quiet and peaceful. Travelling with teens so the extra shower and toilet came in very handy ! We will be back :-)

A dream in the middle of Amsterdam

The houseboat with its location in the center of Amsterdam is truly unique and highly recommended. 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)

We enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed Han‘s place very much. It was very convenient to Amsterdam within walking distance of many things. The bed was very comfortable. If I was to suggest any changes, it would be to get a microwave. We could have used it once or twice. Thank you very much!

Perfect Place

The houseboat is a great place to stay while in Amsterdam. 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.

A Remarkable Experience!

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!

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!

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!

Fab houseboat!

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 :)

Convenient and cool houseboat

Our two adults and two kids (3 and 7) had a great time in a week on this houseboat. There was plenty of space — the kids took the “lower” bedroom and the adults took the one adjacent to the dining and kitchen area. The inside was cozy and comfortable whatever the weather (highly variable from sun to hailstorms!) and we enjoyed hanging out on the deck when the weather allowed. The owner, Hans, was always available and was helpful throughout the stay, from meeting us at check-in to when we needed ice after our younger daughter bumped her face. We didn’t use the bikes much because we rented ones with child seats, but I did ride one to the store after we returned our rentals and it was ten times better! A great asset to have on hand. Would gladly stay here again!

Fun time!!

The Bamboo Boat was perfect for my granddaughter and I. We so enjoyed our 15 minute walk to Central Station every morning, from the boat. From there, we took the tram, via the I Amsterdam Card (well worth the money), to a different neighborhood every day. We explored, museums, shops and restaurants that never failed to disappoint. Everything was perfect, and Han was so accommodating and gentlemanly, to walk us to the boat, from the station, upon our arrival. I highly recommend this for those with small families and who are physically able to navigate the ups and downs of the boat. We both want to come back when the weather is better, but that didn't stop us!!
