Donât miss this wonderful opportunity to experience the unique boat life in Amsterdam! Han is an amazing host! We loved using the bikes he includes with your stay.
We loved our stay at Hans canal boathouse. Fantastic location and friendly helpful and generous host. The boat is really unique, very clean, well equipped and comfortable with a gorgeous view and lots to look at, boats going by. Great outdoor area. Han had complimentary beer, wine, juice and milk for us in the fridge and specially delivered some stroppewaffels. We highly recommend Hans boathouse and we would book it again. Thank you so much Han.
We love staying here whenever we're in Amsterdam! Everything about this boat is perfect! Nothing beats sleeping on the water and waking up to the view every morning. Book it, you won't regret it :)
Ferry (Han's friend/helper) was so kind and welcoming. He helped us carry our bags into the boat and oriented us to living on the boat. He even put some drinks in the fridge to welcome us. He was very responsive to questions. The boat was beautiful. You can see a lot of love went into the craftsmanship. The beds were very comfortable - great mattress toppers meant we slept really well! There was much more room than we expected on a boat - and 2 bathrooms! (One must climb up and down a ladder to get to the kitchen / main bedroom, so if you're not good with ladders, this may not be the place for you. For us, it was part of the adventure.) Loved looking out the window at the canal. Drinking coffee on the deck in the morning was also lovely. Can't say enough nice things about Ferry and Han.
This house boat served us very well. We werenât sure what to expect but Han was informative and helpful. The location was perfect, on the water, close to the train station and we walked all over Amsterdam. We would return if the occasion arose.
Overall this was a wonderful stay. The houseboat was tidy and offered enough space for our family of four. Hans had great communication and his friend Ferry assisted greatly with our arrival. The location is super close to the train station and had lovely views of Amsterdam.Few things- this is a houseboat. If you are expecting a 5 star hotel then you should get one of those. The bathrooms are small and while there is plenty of living space, there are ladders to climb down and one of the bedrooms is in a port cubby. It's exactly what you would expect staying on one. We are large folks and while it did make some if the experience a little tricky, we understood that was part of the charm. Check in was easy, wifi access was easy and it was very walkable to some of the cool things amsterdam has to offer. We only took two cars- to the Van Gough Museam and the airport. The rest of the stay was VERY walkable, with a grocery store close by as well.
We enjoyed our stay on the Bamboo Boat. 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.
Full of character - quirky, in a good way! - and in a wonderful location convenient for Amsterdam Centraal. Clean, comfortable, with a friendly and helpful host. Great all round!
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.
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.
We wanted a different experience than the usual apartment and Hanâs boat was it. Very clean and comfortable but requires some agility to move aroundâŠafter 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
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!
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!
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!
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 :-)
