Tout était bien propre et c’était chaleureux
Propriétaire très sympa mais pas intrusif très bonne acceuil et propre séjour super
Pretty amazing to stay on a boat! Definitely worth the walk to escape the tourist centre.
What a phantastic location! The room was very comfortable and quite big. Loved the terrace. Must do. I will be back
Schwimmmöglichkeit direkt nebenan. Sauber, gemütlich, nette Nachbarschaft. Alles top!
Красивая и спокойная локация. Рядом остановки, магазины, кафе
Не было вилок, ложек, чая, кофе
Nádherné ubytování v příjemné a klidné lokalitě, vše čisté a dostatečně vybaveno. Majitelé jsou moc milí, určitě se sem při další návštěvě Amsterdamu ráda vrátím. Moc děkuji!
The location- easy to reach city centre, although peaceful, local neighborhood

The apartment on the boat was very clean, comfortable, had a modern interior, and was in a convenient location. I loved it!
Rustige plek en toch dichtbij alles.
Was jammer dat er geen theezakjes waren en ook geen cupjes voor het nespresso apparaat.
Non c’era la vista sul canale
Absolute Empfehlung!!! Perfekt Lage, nur 5 Minuten von Bus oder Tram entfernt und mit dem Bus in weniger als 10 Minuten am Amsterdam Central. Sehr saubere und ruhige Gegend. Die Unterkunft war schlicht und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sehr bequemes Bett, alles tipptopp sauber. Voran hatte ich mir eine 2. Bettdecke gewünscht und der Wunsch wurde erfüllt. Arnold und Sofie sind zauberhafte Gastgeber und leben mit ihren Kids auch auf dem Boot.
…das ist keine Kritik!!! Mich hat überrascht, dass es kein Fenster/Bullauge zum rausgucken gab. Fühlte mich kurz unwohl damit, aber es ist wie es ist und soll keine Kritik sein!!!!!!
Loved the area, comfy bed and good shower.
It was pretty basic, no cooking facilities, most expensive accommodation of our 3 week trip that included Switzerland!
Everything was as advertised, hosts were super friendly and helpful. They offered a full refund based on an issue with the bed.
The bed did break, and seemed to have broken before. Which unfortunately meant we could not stay for our full duration.
Die Lage am Wasser; nur drei Minuten bis zur Bushaltestelle; zentrumsnah und doch ruhig gelegen. Das Sitzen auf Deck mit Blick aufs Wasser. Die Hilfsbereitschaft der BesitzerInnen.
Für unsere Frühstücksvorbereitung hätten wir uns noch ein Möglichkeit zum Brotschneiden und ein kleines Küchenmesser zum Obstschneiden gewünscht.
Le levée de soleil le matin sur l’eau était spectaculaire.
Rien
No breakfast included
Slightly claustrophobic as below deck. No bedside tables. No heating and a very cold hard floor. Good shower and loo.
Locatie

Чисто, есть небольшая кухня, но на этой кухне еду не приготоаишь и не разогреешь, можно только сделать чай или кофе.
Отсутствие печки или микроволговки. Очень маленькая комната без окон.
It was a lovely space, so unique to stay on a boat, it was surprisingly sturdy you did not feel like you were rocking or moving at all! The host thought of everything theres even make up remover provided! Sofie was so friendly as well. Would definitely stay again if I was to visit again.
Expérience originale et quartier très agréable. Les hôtes sont très accueillants. Le logement est très bien entretenu 😊
Perfect location for us. Peaceful, secure and friendly. We will stay again whilst visiting beautiful Amsterdam.
The feeling of living on a ship is an experience in itself, but experiencing all this in the middle of the biggest ship festival is a truly fantastic feeling.
Le quartier
Comfort
The communication was amazing and the location lovely. Everything was perfect. We rented bikes from Starbikes and explored the city.
Sehr gemütlich, alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Eine tolle Aussicht und Atmosphäre von der Sitzecke auf dem Boot. Sehr freundliche und kooperative Host-Familie. Die Lage innerhalb der Großstadt: einmalig!!!
Für mich als Deutscher war die einzelne Doppel-Bettdecke ungewohnt und daher auch ein bisschen unkomfortabel.
Owner of the appartment are very nice and helpful for all questions. It is e great experience to see how living on a Boat looks like.
KL Forecastle is located on a large boat, moored in a quay. (Once you step onboard you're not aware it's a boat, though, so don't worry about seasickness!) The room is very comfortable with the facilities you'd expect in a hotel room.
quiet. charming hosts. nice view from outside. not very far from transportation, 400 meters--about 5-10 minute walk.
small. this is the forecastle of a houseboat, no windows, no air-conditioning, minimal decor and amenities, no cooking facilities whatsoever. per the description on booking.com, no tv, no radio. located in a quiet neighborhood without any conveniences such as drug store or groceries. a couple of restaurants--i recomment kanis. the closest bakery is a 5-10 minute walk at the trolley and bus stop. for a day or two ok.
- cleanliness - friendly host - host helps answer questions/gives recommendations - provided towels/glasses etc - good size bed - electricity working - host had perfect english
- shower isn't powerful - location was further out from city than we thought (our own fault) - room was cosy and sometimes felt small
Sophie is a very attentive and hard-working host. It was a pleasure staying at the boat

Sofie is an exceptionally friendly host! We really enjoyed our stay in this cute house boat and would do it again any time.
