Han was an attentive host. The boat is an amazing experience. The views are gorgeous. The boat is not huge but spacious for 2. Getting to and from it was an adventure for this slightly larger American. I had an amazing and unique stay!

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.

Fantastic location!

The houseboat was conveniently located with great access to all public transport. Han was helpful and very knowledgeable, and we had a great time on the houseboat! The stairs and ladder would be tough for very small children or anyone with mobility issues - my 4 and 6 year olds were delighted and had a wonderful time.

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.

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!

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 :-)

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!

Unique and Enjoyable Experience!

Han is a wonderful host and his house boat was great! Our kids enjoyed their sleeping nook, and we also slept well. It was nice having our own space and it felt calm and peaceful on the boat even though we were only a short walk from the hustle and bustle of the city. The boat has everything you need; I just had to learn to navigate in the small boat bathrooms.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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 :)
