The location was amazing! Being in a houseboat on the water was a wonderful experience. The host was super responsive and helpful.

8/10 Very Good

We had a great stay on the house boat. It was awesome to watch all of the boats go by on the large Amstel waterway. Great little seating area outside as well. One downside is the rooms air conditioning is kept a little hotter than comfortable for us with no way to turn it cooler. It was also a bit of a walk with luggage to the metro. Overall great stay though and I would absolutely recommend staying in a houseboat while in Amsterdam, it’s a unique and really cool experience.

Very nice stay on the boat. Terrace is very convinient if you want to stay in the sun. Very calm even though there is a bridge but the noice is not very hard. Nice small room with everything you need. One inconvenient: the soap was not refilled there was no soap but we used the shower gel that was refilled.

Perfect stay
Absolutely loved our stay on the boat, beautiful location with a beautiful view from inside, lovely being able to sit out on the decking in the evenings. Not too noisy, nice and warm. Love the mini fridge and the coffee machine. I absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return. The decking with the backdrop and the lights made for a perfect setting to propose to my girlfriend and we have had the best trip. The ONLY thing I have to say is that on our first day we were laying down and having a cuddle and the owner just unlocked our door and came walking straight in without knocking or anything and we didn’t really like that as didn’t feel very private then but she was really polite and other than that our stay was perfect and we will return and recommend

The perfect place for a short city break, feels private even though you share the outdoor area with a couple others. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!!

10/10 Exceptional

My daughter and I spent 2 nights in the houseboat Little Amstel. We wanted something different and we were really delighted. The boat was clean and considering how compact it was, very well organised and supplied. The shower was great and the coffee machine easy to use. I enjoyed sitting in the deck in the morning with a coffee with the sun on my face watching the water. Bliss! The walls were fairly thin and it was easy to hear our next door guests as they arrived later in the night. Be aware that Amsterdam is a lively city and there will be people going by; either in boats or on foot over the nearby bridge from their night out. It didn’t bother us at all, but be aware it’s not completely silent. Thank you for your kind help with our luggage. We will recommend your little boat to all our friends.

4/10 Fair

Location is great....very unique setting. Problem that we had is that the small room has no ventilation unless you want to keep the doors open while you sleep at night. Obvious security issues. There are no windows that you can open. The owners state that the air conditioner will turn on automatically once the air temperature gets high in the room so the occupants don't have to worry about turning it off.....this is environmentally responsible. When we stayed there for two nights the room was hot and stuffy. Contacted the owner and he agreed to turn on the air conditioner remotely(his computer) for a few hours the first night. The second night I had to email him to turn on the air conditioner again because it was extremely uncomfortable in the room again. He did this but for only a short amount of time. We woke up in the middle of the night hot and sweaty and had to open the doors to the tiny room. Unless I'm missing something with the Amsterdam City regulations about running an air conditioner overnight with rental properties this is unacceptable. The owner is in the tourism industry. His clients are using jet aircraft to fly in from all around the world causing so called world carbon emissions to go up and he is using the "environmental card" so he can save a few bucks on not running an air conditioner overnight. It would be so simple to make the stay perfect.....have a control in the room for the air conditioner. I dont recommend staying here until this is fixed.

Perfekte Übernachtung für Amsterdam
Dieses Hotel ist der absolute Traum wenn man Amsterdam nach holländischer Art kennenlernen will. Das Hausboot ist ruhig gelegen und trotzdem hat man sowohl Strassenbahn und Metro in der Nähe und ist rasch im Zentrum. Bett ist bequem und man wacht mit Fluss-Sicht auf. Sehr moderne Einrichtung, unkompliziertes Check-in jedoch alles digital (für uns kein Problem, aber wenn man nicht so technikaffin ist) Wir würden sofort wieder kommen

Room with bad smell and mould
The room had a really bad smell of mould and there where mould in the room. Unfortunately we could not get a refund, only some nights at another location for another time. We decided not to stay in the room because of the smell and for health reasons. So we booked another hotel.
