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!

Wonderful experience!
This was a really cool place to stay. Han was a terrific host, very welcoming and accommodating. He met us at the end of his little road and even carried my suitcase to the boat. Han acclimated us to the boat, explaining where everything was, and how to take care of the boat. He had flowers throughout the space, and had some beverages in the upstairs refrigerator. The main Iiving space has a couch, a desk, small refrigerator, kitchen sink and hot pot. From here one can access one sleeping area and one bathroom. Down a ships ladder to a larger space, with another sleeping area, eating table, bathroom, closet, kitchen area, and sitting area. The kitchen does not have a cooking stove, Han told us rental boats cannot have them. But there was an espresso machine, toaster, refrigerator, dishwasher, hot plate, lots of cookware, dishes, and silverware. The outside area was lovely, with comfortable seating. It was the perfect place to watch the Kings Day festivities, with lots of boat traffic in front of the boat. The boat was very clean and well equipped. Central station , grocery stores and attractions were within walking distance. Although perfect for us, those with mobility issues, and claustrophobia, would find it a challenging place to stay. Han lives in half the boat and is available if, and when, you need him. But he is very respectful of your privacy.

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!

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!

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!

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 :)
