Unique experience in centre of Amsterdam. Han has thought of everything. Comfortable beds, excellent coffee, lovely outdoor space. Kids loved their tiny bunkhouse. We loved the views!

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.

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!

This property was in the perfect location, very spacious, & a terrific view! Han was very accommodating & the bikes were a great bonus

Han was extremely helpful and the stay was fantatstic. Brilliant position in central Amsterdam. Loved the boat. Comfortable, warm and clean. Characterful to say the least. The added benefit of having bikes supplied for us to use was very much appreciated. Thankyou Han.

Getting on and off the boat is safe and easy as there are security lights and anti slip matting. Like all other reviews one of the bedrooms has a very low ceiling and no space either side of the bed but my son who is over 6ft loved it in there. There is also a TV in the bedroom with the curtains which was cosy. Using the free bikes was great fun and the central location is just perfect. Once in bed it is very quiet and you wouldn’t know you were in the middle of a city.

Location of houseboat is excellent. Very close to central station, canal tours etc and 20 minutes walking distance to most museums. But happily it is off the beaten path and once there, tourists disappear. Hon, the host, is very accommodating. He lives right nearby and is quick to respond. The houseboat experience is a once in a lifetime. Especially fun for a family.

I am glad I read reviews of this property first, as I was at least a little prepared for the trickiness of arriving, climbing over two other boats, on unlit steps, and down more narrow steps to get in. The boat itself is also tricky to get around - steep stairs/ladders, narrow scrambly entrance to one of the sleeping areas, and rather a slippery floor. Having said that, it was a quirky, characterful place to stay. Unfortunately, against the description, the kitchen is no longer fully functioning (only a toaster, single hot plate, coffee maker and kettle available) but for us this didn't matter as we only had breakfast there. It grew on us, and I do have to say, I did enjoy my "hobbit hole" bedroom with the porthole just above water level, listening to the lapping waves as I went to sleep. It is a warm boat, which as we visited in December, was a blessing! The best thing though is the location. You can see the station from the boat (10 mins walk) and most other attractions are within 20 or 25 minutes walk. We briefly met Han, the owner, on check in. He lives on the boat too, so there in case of emergencies, otherwise our paths didn't cross. I recommend, but definitely for those happy to scramble about.

Found out last minute that there’s no cooking on the boat. Getting to sleeping quarters can be a challenge to some seniors. Stairs going into the (no cook) galley creak to the point of waking up. The outdoor space was the most fabulous feature.

A unique experience not to be missed. Much more fun than a hotel. We stayed here for 3 nights after our river cruise, so we had a bit of luggage. Han greeted us and kindly assisted with getting our luggage inside, where we found fresh flowers up top and below, as well as juice, wine and beer he had provided for us. Everything was immaculately clean. Located close to a grocery store, bakeries and a variety of restaurants, as well as the metro, canal cruise boats and buses. And despite being on a fairly busy canal, the boat is well insulated, warm and quiet. Recommend giving it a try unless you have mobility issues, as there is a short, uneven walk over the top of other boats and steep stairs down to the lower apartment. Thanks, Han, for sharing your place with us!

Loves the bikes provided . Han was was very kind and helpful. Property in a great location. Quiet and beautiful views.

Han has a great spot and spacious boat! Not for anyone who has mobility issues but we loves it and the bikes were a real bonus. Beautiful views, quiet and convenient location.

A great stay with all the peace and quiet you could wish for with a central location. Loved the bikes 👍

The bamboo boat is a wonderful experience- great location, large , comfortable and fun! The boat is an easy walk from Central Station and though it is centrally located it’s quiet and restful at night. Han is a great host - he left lovely flowers and cold drinks for us and made sure we had warm blankets. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Note that the boat is not for everyone - there are several stairs outside and though it’s well lit and there are guard rails, climbing aboard with suitcases is a bit challenging. Inside the boat the lower level is accessed by a ladder - manageable and frankly part of the fun - if this sounds like fun to you. We had not been to Amsterdam since we were in college - what a beautiful city. We absolutely loved it. Highly recommend some time in Amsterdam and highly recommend the cozy fun of the magical bamboo boat.

Han was absolutely incredible, the houseboat was gorgeous and very centrally located. Wish we could’ve stayed longer, highly recommend!

I hope to return to this boat in the future. Great location, short walk from central train station. Hannity had bottle if wine, beer and orange juice in fridge when arrived. Walking distance to lots of attractions. Thanks again Han

The location couldn't be better - right in the center of everything - but sitting on the deck looking out at the canal was incredibly peaceful. Hans was very welcoming and the boat had everything you needed. Wonderful stay.

Our family stayed 4 days in this amazing boat. Everything exceeded our expectations from the unique charm to the incredible location which put us within a short walk to literally everything we wanted to see and do. Han, our host, was helpful and very easy to deal with. Riding the four free bikes around the city will be a lifelong memory for our kids. Thank you Han.

Very clean and modern

This place is amazing! It has everything you could ask for and the location is perfect! The host is a great guy and makes you feel at home. I would love to stay here whenever I'm in Amsterdam!

This place is great. It is actually 2 apartments. The downstairs is actually much brighter than one would expect with portholes right at water level and skylights. Very quiet but only a short walk to the center and the train station. As others have said, the approach and set up of the apartment requires decent agility - short sturdy ladder to get to lower apartment and uneven surfaces on the way to the boat. The deck is awesome! Han was a pleasant and accommodating host ! I would come again if I have the chance!

Two and one half weeks in the city centre. Stores restaurants transportation at hand. Great weather. The Bambooboat is fully equipped. By necessity it has many levels. Han, seeing we are old, added safety grabs everywhere that were very helpful. Many hours spent on the warm protected patio. Thank you Han for your concern for our wellbeing.. Jim and Roma

We loved the experience of living on a boat in Amsterdam. The sleeping areas are typical for a boat. One of the bed areas has a low ceiling, but worked fine for a younger couple. Han was very responsive to inquiries beforehand and met us to checkin.
