Spacious house boat near city centre
A wonderful, unique home with loads of charm and class. Ruud was kind and friendly, and the space quickly felt like home for a few days.

Houseboat / watervilla Black Swan
Our whole family absolutely loved the house! The scenery all around is just very beautiful.The house itself is also perfect, very spacious, bright and clean, especially the host has a good taste.Charming little nooks all over the place.We can't wait to have another chance to be here!

Great family houseboat Westerpark next to Jordaan
I am thankful for Eric’s trust and hospitality, his place felt like home to us and was close to everything we needed (beautiful park, supermarkets, restaurants). Eric was a very thoughtful host and I really hope to be back:) really beautiful and joyful home, thank you Eric & family.

Spacious 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!

Luxerious houseboat Amsterdam
Lovely home Perfect neighborhood to stay if touring Amsterdam Host extremely responsive to any of our needs

Sunny houseboat near Amsterdam centre!
I thoroughly recommend a stay at this beautiful houseboat which has everything you need for a weekend city break to Amsterdam. Firstly there is car parking and access to the accommodation was straight forward with clear instructions. The houseboat itself is spacious and has everything you need to cook and self cater if you want to, dishwasher is a bonus. Local small supermarket only 5 minute walk away. The location of this houseboat is extremely good, 10 minute flat walk to the train station which takes you straight in Amsterdam central. Lots of trains per hour and we had no issues getting around. There are also bikes on site for your use which is a bonus, we cycled to the Windmills which were very pretty and definitely worth a visit. There is also a boat, we didn’t use it on this visit as we ran out of time. Anouk is a brilliant host, great communication and also left a comprehensive folder with tips of local places to eat and things to do. We will definitely be back!

Waterfront / Lots of Privacy / Free Parking!
Great view of the water, bed was different but very comfy. Host went out of her way to add welcome sign so that was amazing. We would definitely recommend this place and would book again!

Luxury Houseboat Amsterdam, free 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.

Fantastic houseboat on the Vinkeveense Plassen
Very peaceful accommodation, the only noises you will hear will be those of ducks and geese. Listing is as described. Everything you need for a pleasant stay. Carla is very responsive. She greeted us when we arrived and had planned small treats for us, which we found very friendly. We would highly recommend and will definitely make a new stopover when we return to the country!

Delightful Modern Houseboat with sunny patio
- [ ] This was truly the perfect place for our Amsterdam visit! The houseboat is serene, spacious, and cozy—we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Our party of three adults had plenty of space for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood is lovely, with charming bars and coffee shops, yet still so close to all the main sights. The canal is peaceful at night, which made for incredibly restful sleep. Fern is an outstanding host—welcoming, gracious, and always quick to respond. We’d book again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend this houseboat enough!

Houseboat on Amstel river, next to a park.
If you are looking to stay on the river in a quiet neighbourhood - on a house boat - it doesn't get better than this. I loved waking up, peering out onto the water. Each morning the rowers are out, people running along the riverbank - it's incredibly peaceful yet full of life. This is a real boat, not a floating house so you have to navigate different levels inside, getting on and off the boat etc. All part of the charm. Martin is a fabulous host. Note: this is the old school airbnb of old - its Martin's home, beautifully appointed, spacious and generously kitted out - with the comfort of a 'lived in' feel. The upper deck is just delightful, full of light and windows and you can sit with your coffee and watch the river-world go by. The area is surrounded by park, but just nearby is a lovely high-street with shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and deli's. Trams will take directly into the centre of Amsterdam - everything you need - highly recommended!

Houseboat Amsterdam Jordaan - Downtown
Our stay at Claire’s place was nothing short of magical. The location is hard to beat in the heart of Jordaan, steps away from great Dutch cafes, every restaurant we ate at was within a ten minute walk, every one was fantastic. As well as minutes walk from transit. Somehow though being in the middle of everything, being on the water in this houseboat makes you feel like you’re in your own private oasis. Claire has great taste, her home is designed impeccably, with one of the major highlights being the record player, listening to classics like the Beatles, Bowie, The Doors while sitting on the back porch taking in the incredible view of the canal. Bonus was the most efficient washer dryer I used during my 3 week stay in Europe and the large dishwasher. Had we stayed longer, we would have cooked, there was a fully stocked Chefs kitchen. Thanks for the perfect end to our adventure!

Spacious Water Villa With Sauna Near Amsterdam
We had a wonderful stay! The property was pristine clean and felt like a true home away from home. Mandy was incredibly responsive and proactive with any questions we had—communication was smooth and reassuring from start to finish. The location was exactly as described, perfectly situated and convenient for everything we needed. Our kids had a blast, and the jacuzzi and sauna were the cherry on top—such a relaxing bonus after long days out. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and a welcoming vibe.

Brewer's houseboat for work and holiday!
Amazing place. Great location. Memorable view. Elizabeth is a great host who made us feel welcomed and at home. She provided all instructions clearly and was very friendly. The place tempted us to stay longer indoors as you have the canal right by the window and a decking to enjoy the sunshine outside. Definitely recommend this place and the host

Quiet tiny houseboat near Amsterdam

Fantastic houseboat, 160m2 on Amstel river
Not enough kind words can be said… I’ve had the pleasure of staying in Amsterdam quite a few times and this was hands down the best stay!! Nelke was quick to respond, helpful and incredibly kind as if that wasn’t enough in and of itself her space was also just so lovely. Being on a houseboat (especially one this nice) was such an experience. We’re truly grateful to have stumbled upon this gem! If you have the opportunity, highly recommend staying here.

Houseboat for unique overnight stay on the water.
A lovely place to stay. Great communication from the host. Nice area with walking distance to the centre, access to public transport to Amsterdam and surrounding areas for further exploring.

Quiet Waterloft near Amsterdam and Schiphol WS11
Great area, very close to the Airport and 20 mins from Amsterdam. Great place for a retreat, the boat house experience was amazing and the hospitality was great. Highly recommended.

Amsterdam Special Watervilla
This boat was such a treat, beautifully presented, spacious, gorgeous views amongst other boats, easy walking around central Amsterdam. The facilities within the boat were top notch, stylish upstairs living space, extremely comfortable beds, lovely bathroom (with the bonus of an upstairs toilet too). If we were there in warmer weather we would have spent more time just hanging out on the deck. Heartily recommend.

Houseboat with modern interior in the city center
We loved staying at Paul’s place and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Paul was incredibly helpful and very responsive. The boat itself was spacious, bright and perfect for a group of 4. The standout feature really is the decking and upstairs area, perfect for drinks in the sunshine! We loved staying here and would definitely stay again.

Luxurious houseboat on Amstel River.
We loved our stay on the house boat and cannot recommend it enough! It was incredible to stay on the water and watch all the boats and rowers go by. The house boat is conveniently located between two stations, and the WiFi worked great for remote work and taking calls. The hosts were so quick to respond and so helpful. Do yourself a favor and book this amazing house boat!!

On the Vecht, Romantic ECO-SUITE , close to A’dam
Staying on the White Feather Suite was an absolute dream and definitely a weekend we will never forget. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location was serene and peaceful, with beautiful views of the canal. The boat itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, tranquil and incredibly cosy. Every detail was thoughtfully designed—from the cozy bedroom, spa like bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. We especially loved waking up to the gentle rocking of the water and having our morning coffee on the deck. Vera and George were amazing hosts —super friendly, responsive, and went out of their way to make sure we had a perfect stay, even surprised us with birthday cake and gifts on arrival. This was one of the most unique stays we've ever had and definitely one for the books. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with a touch of adventure, this houseboat is the place to go. Can't wait to go back. thank you both for your amazing hospitality xx

Houseboat with sloop on the Kaag/Warmond
Annemiek and her husband were great hosts, very flexible and welcoming. Being able to use the boat and stroll the canals, especially to Leiden was a truly unique experience. Annemiek's place is ideal for an exotic and original stay in Holland, with lots of activities nearby, including tulip fields.
