Boat in Stadsdeel Zuid
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 134 reviewsCharming houseboat near Olympic St.
There were four of us on Jan's houseboat. The boat is in a quiet area, close to the Olympic center. Just outside, to the center of Amsterdam by metro about 20 minutes. The houseboat was cozy and clean, Jan personally greeted us on the first day and the contact was very nice. There are 4 bicycles available, but we did not use them as the Dutch have too fast a driving style...🫣 we had 4 great days in Amsterdam and on the houseboat.

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 258 reviewsSunny spacious Amstel houseboat | City Center
Kay and Santiago were extremely helpful and hospitable, they were highly responsive and very accomodating when we asked about leaving our baggage at the property + checking out late. The houseboat is in a lovely location, close to public transport but also easily walkable to different suburbs and surrounding areas. It is exactly as listed, easily accessible and comfortable for 4 people to stay in. Santiago was kind enough to send a very helpful list of recommendations for the city, would definitely recommend and hope to book here again.

Boat in Stadsdeel Centrum
4.67 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviewsSpacious Houseboat in Amsterdam
This houseboat is wonderful and the perfect chilled get away just outside the city centre. Hosts were great with communication and the houseboat was better than we could’ve imagined. Great location with every type of public transport right on your doorstep or if the weather permits a nice walk back into town. 100% would recommend!

Houseboat in Stadsdeel Zuid
5 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviewsLuxury Houseboat Amsterdam, free bikes and parking
We were so lucky to be able to stay in such a beautiful place! The beds were comfy, the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful... it was a lovely escape from the busy, city-center. We LOVED the use of the kitchen and the deck just off the kitchen. Hein was so good to have bikes available for us. There is little available directly near the home but a 10 minute bike ride along the lovely road and over the bridge gets you to all you could want. We were sad to leave our Amsterdam home and will hope Hein's home is available when we return.

Houseboat in Boskoop
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 78 reviewsCozy complete boathouse
We spent a family holiday with our two awakening children in Justin's floating house between Christmas and New Year's Eve. It was ideal to have time together in peace. The house is clean and modernly furnished, the heating is wonderfully warm even in winter and you have everything you need. Most of the time we took a trip to Rotterdam, Amsterdam or the sea during the day, which is only 30-45 min. away. In the evening we cooked, played, read or watched a movie in the house. Everything was great, and highly recommend it.

Houseboat in Vinkeveen
4.76 out of 5 average rating, 45 reviewsFantastic houseboat on the Vinkeveense Plassen
Easy to find. Host speaks only Dutch, but has prepared well with a translation app. The location is very quiet and you can walk to the bus to Amsterdam

Houseboat in Stadsdeel West
5 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsDelightful Modern Houseboat with sunny patio
Wonderful and unique experience at the houseboat! It was spacious, unique, close to groceries, shops, and restaurants, an easy walk to public transportation and, really, to many sights in Amsterdam. We all (my children especially) fell in love with Pepper the friendly cat. Fern was so easy to work with and super responsive whenever we had a question. We really appreciated the kitchen; it had all the cooking utensils, plates, pots, etc. that we could ask for, as well as some oil, spices, etc. The rest of the boat was comfortable, charming, and modern. A fantastic home base while in Amsterdam.

Houseboat in Stadsdeel Centrum
5 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsGorgeous canal boat with rooftop terrace in centre
I really wanted the experience of staying in a canal boat house in Amsterdam and Hanneke’s place did not disappoint. She was very sweet and communicated with us very well. We especially enjoyed the rooftop seating area and the living room area where you felt immersed in the river life. The little ducks who came over when you opened the windows to be fed were adorable! The shower had very nice water pressure and lots of hot water. Hanneke was very responsive anytime I reached out and made us feel very at home in her home. The rental was close to tram stations which made it fairly easy for us to get around the city, once we learned how to do it. Her kitchen was very well stocked and she makes great use of a smaller space.

Houseboat in Stadsdeel Centrum
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsHouseboat Amsterdam Jordaan - Downtown
This houseboat was perfect! So stylish and in the utmost perfect location. Walkable from the train station. Grocery store is one block over and the cutest coffee shops (Actual coffee from the bean not the other kind) and pubs. We were there during the Taylor Swift concert and Holland's big soccer match. We slept like babies even with the large crowds. The little seating area facing the water for perfect for morning coffee. Jordann neighborhood is the perfect place to stay!

Houseboat in Stadsdeel Centrum
5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsBrewer's houseboat for work and holiday!
We returned for a second long stay and it is still wonderful! Great location just far enough out of Centrum to be missing all the tourists but still close enough to easily get in there every day. Liz is a terrific communicator and it is super easy to get in and out. The house boat is very comfortable and well maintained. I hope to return next year!

Houseboat in Stadsdeel Noord
5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsAmazing floating house + Terrace @hip neighborhood
This unique spot was perfect for enjoying the art and food of Amsterdam. 30ish minutes on public transit to basically anything and walking distance to great museums and restaurants. We also enjoyed the neighbors and their recommendations.

Houseboat in Stadsdeel Centrum
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 68 reviewsAmsterdam Special Watervilla
We enjoyed the stay at the boat house a lot! The location is beautiful and we loved the views as well as accessibility to the places around. There are assigned co-hosts who are very responsive if you have any questions or issues, big thanks to Philo for helping us with everything and Nina for calling us to check up if everything is great. The boat has everything needed for a stay - comfy beds and sofa, toaster and coffee machine, bean bags to sit and cozy living room. The kitchen might not have enough pans, but overall is good if you prefer to cook on your own. It's not a 100inch TV as it was marked in the description due to typo, but it's pretty good if you want to watch some netflix or youtube at night. There is street parking nearby, which is quite pricey, but hosts can advise on the parking house nearby. We had a lovely stay and would love to come back again!

Houseboat in Stadsdeel Zuid
4.84 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsLuxurious houseboat on Amstel River.
Exceeded every expectation, very special experience to stay on this houseboat! 10 min bike ride to just about everything we wanted to see in the city and so close to trolley as well; Kitchen was perfectly stocked to make beautiful meals on the water, better than any restaurant when you visit the many markets around the city. Boat had everything we needed and more. Hosts were very responsive, responding to questions within just minutes and so gracious, leaving detailed instructions, suggestions, and a nice welcome gift. Was surprised by how spacious the boat was - with multiple levels and room to spread out and relax without being stuck in your bedroom! Particularly loved the outdoor deck and floating dock on river side - just lovely at any time of day. Would highly recommend this…truly a highlight of our experience in Amsterdam! Don’t hesitate if it’s available when you’re visiting, you won’t be disappointed! Very unique and special.

Place to stay in Nederhorst Den Berg
5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsOn the Vecht, Romantic ECO-SUITE , close to A’dam
We wanted to treat ourselves to something really nice for the turn of the year and found a wonderful atmospheric place here. On Veras and George's houseboat, you can relax and cook very well - the kitchen is well equipped. The feel-good factor on a houseboat is great anyway, which is even increased by the high-quality cozy furnishings. We really enjoyed the break and felt very welcome from the two of them! Vera's numerous tips on (bicycle)excursions in the area were particularly helpful. We were very happy that despite the half-way weather, we took our bikes with us and were able to explore the beautiful surroundings with the many pretty places.

Houseboat in Stadsdeel West
5 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviewsTranquil Amsterdam Houseboat Experience
This property was exactly what we were looking for – a genuine houseboat on an Amsterdam canal, in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to shops and cafes. It didn’t disappoint! The contemporary furniture and fixtures are sleek and comfortable. The canal is a working one, but it’s quiet and we were visited by water birds, including beautiful swans every now and then. The houseboat is conveniently located to bus stops that provided access throughout the city, including a short ride to Central Station. We appreciated the welcome basket of snacks and beverages our host provided, and thoroughly enjoyed our 7 day stay there.
