5. The Amsterdam boat Zaandam

Zaandam

"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten. Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

7. Charming Tiny Houseboat Escape Near Amsterdam by Weltevreden Experience

Kortenhoef

"Schönes gemütliches Hausboot in einer kleinen Marina. Einrichtung war alles da was man braucht - sogar WLAN und zwei Fernseher. Bett war frisch überzogen und Handtücher lagen ebenfalls bereit. Wasser wurde auch immer wieder aufgefüllt. Am Tag der Anreise habe ich morgens die Nachricht bekommen mit Adresse und einem Schlüsselcode. Völlig unkompliziert. Eigentlich ruhig gelegen - aber gegenüber der Marina geht eine Landstraße vorbei , ab und zu hört man mal ein Auto. Alles in allem eine coole...

10. Luxurious wellness houseboat - Sailors Suite

"Great overall experience. It is situated in a calm area but close to all you could want to do as a tourist. We walked everywhere. Sitting on the deck for coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening is great - you get see the boats and also the cute ducks. The bed and sofa are very comfortable. Very clean and all we needed was provided. A little tricky to get on and off with luggage but on arrival we did get help. Something to consider if you have mobility issues."

19. Fantastic Houseboat `Splendid` with Tender Kaag

Monnickendam

"We certainly enjoyed our stay at the houseboat. Monnickendam is a cute little town with a nice market, shops and restaurants. Just a 10 minutes walk to the bus stop into Amsterdam - very convenient. On the houseboat you find everything you need. Perfect spot in the evening is on the rooftop. Our host provided us with a very warm welcome. Communication was easy and very pleasant. Getting used to the dry toilet is a little challenge - there are „normal“ toilets in the main building."

Top Netherlands Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam

10/10 Excellent

"A nice hotel right by public transportation. The bar is legit and they have an American IPA!"

Hotel ibis Schiphol Amsterdam Airport

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was excellent. Clean and modern. The ‘scrum’ for the shuttle-bus to the airport in the morning was downright dangerous. Too many people pushing and shoving. No booking system, and people with no idea of how to queue. It needs sorting before someone gets hurt"

Hotel Fogo Amsterdam

10/10 Excellent

"The room itself is simple, but nicely furnished. The desk is small, but guests can work and help themselves in the lobby lounge (24Hrs). The soundproofing in the room is better than comparable lodging places. I did not expect this to be a favorite place (in a quieter part of Amsterdam, thank goodness!)."

Ruby Emma Hotel Amsterdam By IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Ruby Amsterdam. Close to public transport for easy access into the city, comfy bed, decent amenities, good WiFi and plenty of storage. Loved the layout of the room and bathroom. My only gripe was the lack of a decent coffee machine in the room. For the price point and the star rating I would hope they could afford something other than instant! The only other point to note is they don’t take cash in the hotel. This also seems to be a thing now in the city…lots of restaurants and bars were also cashless."
