Places to stay in Amsterdam

The boat is an ideal place to stay if you want to explore Amsterdam (metro 5 min). Everything you need to stay comfortably is present: towels, glassware, pans, coffee cups, etc. (the list with the advertisement is already long, but there can be even more ;-) Host Tymen was easy to reach and had a good tip regarding parking the car. We'd love to come back!

This is a fantastic airbnb in Amsterdam. The location is very convenient and everything is within easy walking distance. The apartment is extremely comfortable, very clean and tastefully decorated. It provided everything we needed without any unnecessary clutter . The beds are very comfortable. Agnes was very responsive to all the questions we had before arriving to Amsterdam. We were welcomed at the apartment by Sander. He was very friendly and warm while informative and clear explaining how things work in the apartment. We really enjoyed our five nights stay and will plan to stay here again at our next visit to Amsterdam. We highly recommend it. .

Irene was wonderful! She was very kind and hospitable. The bikes she had available for us to use was our favorite part of the trip! Our time spent in Hoofddorp was by far the best part about this trip to Europe. Would absolutely recommend Irene’s lodging to anyone. She was incredible from check in to check out and the accommodations were quaint and beautiful.

Great stay in Landsmeer, not far from Amsterdam by transport or bike. The hosts are super nice and very accommodating. There is a supermarket 5 min walk away which is very convenient. I would recommend it!

Raul’s place is amazing. Perfect location and he is a great host. Walkable to two different tram stops so very easy to get around

We had a lovely stay! Veronika was an excellent host. Apartment is in a great location and the beautiful canal views are worth the climb up the stairs!

A pleasure to stay here. Much better than a hotel. Felt like home from home. As a result of a great stay, will come back again with my wife. So close to the centre but also perfectly set a little away. Great restaurants, bakery and bars nearby. A great place for taking a run each day and of course, pick up a bike and take a ride.

Arjen has quite the incredible apartment near the train station. Nice sized Duplex with outdoor deck off the bedrooms. It couldn't have been more comfortable, with great light, herbs and berries growing on the deck that he encouraged you to consume. It's convenient to almost everything. As others have said the stairs, at first seem daunting, but once you get used to it, it stops being a problem. Arjen was there too meet us when we arrived. He generously carried our bags up the stairs, acclimated us to the space and then took us on a tour of the neighborhood. He was there when we left to go to the airport at 6:30 am to carry our bags back down the steps. He's very charming and articulate. He was never intrusive but always responsive. He loves his city and is willing to share locals only things to do. Next time I come to Amsterdam I'll look to to stay here first.

By far the most beautiful place we have stayed during our travels! We can’t recommend enough and it was worth every penny.

Such a peaceful few days on Lies's houseboat. Perfect for our group of five adults. Lies made really excellent restaurant recommendations which we really enjoyed. Very close to shops and buses, not far to main station. Excellent for cycling.

The ship was in an absolutely fantastic area in Amsterdam. Very quiet and a beautiful environment. Public transport in all directions is easily accessible on foot. The stay in the ship was a dream. Everything important was available and also little things like a nice wine, chocolate or honey were included:). The slight rocking of the ship was not a problem at all. On the terrace, you can enjoy the hours of sunshine forever. If I plan a stay in Amsterdam again, I will definitely check the availability of this Airbnb again. 10/10!

I cannot recommend this boat enough. I wish I was back there right now! What a lovely surprise that it's even better than the photos. Extremely clean, excellent finish, very unique and an overall beautiful space. Location is lovely, a short walk to everything and easy tram access if you don't feel like walking. Leaving the best till last... Sietske is a wonderful and kind host. She couldn't do enough for us and made us feel extremely welcome. Thank you so much for helping make a big birthday even more special!!

We had a wonderful time at Anouk's houseboat. I was debating before booking if I should rather stay in the city but it was totally worth a train ride from Amsterdam Centraal to be in the nature. The grocery store is 3 minute bike ride so we could easily get things to cook and fix up a pasta dinner with a bottle of wine when we were tired of eating out and rather just wanted to relax watching the ducks and water lilies on the canal. The access was so private we didn't hear any traffic or other people. After all day walking around in Amsterdam full of tourists it was a nice way to close the day. My teenage kids really loved pausing and taking photos on the boat with beautiful water background to brag about to their friends later. One surprise was Zaanse Schans was so close. We rode bikes there and it was super easy. Beautiful brick streets and watching a boat goes under a drawbridge made it even more enjoyable.

Beautiful houseboat in a great location and easy access to all of Amsterdam. The houseboat was warm and cosy and perfect for our short stay. Hanco is a great host

This is a fun place to stay and relax watching the ducks on the water. It was super clean and neat, and Bernard and Monique were fantastic hosts. They were very proactive about meeting us to settle in, provided basics for water, tea/coffee and snacks, and were extremely responsive to any requests we made. It is close to public transport and easy to get to and from the airport and the city. There are also nice walks along the canals and convenient groceries. Definitely a good place for a stay in Amsterdam.

Great space, great host! Hadewych was so responsive and helpful. I just loved the charm of the boat, it was a really neat experience! The bed was SO comfortable, I slept wonderfully. I do wish the couch was more comfortable though, was not conducive to getting comfy after a long day out exploring. It is an older boat so smells a bit musty and a few cobwebs in the chandelier, but you are able to open the windows and get the fresh air in which is very nice. Kitchen was well equipped, just didn't have a freezer which I wanted to store ice and ice cream etc. Had a problem with the pump but Hadewych was quick to remedy the situation. The location was superb - there was a fantastic grocery right around the corner (the produce is delicious!!), a lot of restaurants, cafes, etc. Overall a really great experience that I will cherish!

We loved our stay at Mabel’s cottage while we visited the Netherlands to celebrate my bachelorette! The house has a good mix of seclusion and convenience: there aren’t many neighbors nearby, which offers a good amount of privacy. It is also conveniently located right across the street from the train station - which is two stops (~15 minutes) to Amsterdam Central Station. If you wish to visit a different city other than Amsterdam on your stay, Haarlem was ~20 minutes and is another very cute and quaint city. The home was decorated beautifully and was maintained very well. Nonetheless, Mabel made us all feel right at home and was quick to respond whenever we had a question. I would highly recommend staying here - thank you again Mabel for hosting us!!

The place is really very cozy and inviting. Due to the existing Rituals products, the house also smelled very good. I can only report good things about the immediate surroundings. It is nice, quiet and idyllic, yet you can get to Zandvoort or Amsterdam within a good 20 minutes by car. Ruud gave us really helpful tips on this. In addition, we were personally accompanied by him from the parking lot to the accommodation, which makes you feel immediately positive. We really enjoyed our time here. :)

This is a lovely home in a quiet and stunning setting on the water. Great for families with kids. This is a great location to explore the lake from and has lots of amenities available for the guests to keep kids busy. Hosts were so friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home. Highly recommend a stay here.

The apartment is great, but the absolute highlight is the terrace on 3 sides of the house, right on the water. The large glass fronts in the living room give a view of the water, which makes the apartment special even in cool temperatures. The only downside is that you don't want to go on a trip, but just want to stay in the apartment.

Our hosts were so responsive, thoughtful, and gave great recommendations! The location was perfectly located and central. Can’t recommend this apartment enough!

Amazing apartment in a great location. We walked everywhere. Was exactly like the photos.

We had a great stay at Michelle’s. She is a very friendly host and answers questions quickly. The place is exactly as described and shown on the pictures. The surroundings are quiet and beautiful, and the commute to the city is easy.

After a long day in Amsterdam, we enjoyed the tranquility in Broek in Waterland at Haico's. The house is cozy and has everything we needed: a comfortable bed, a clean shower and a well-equipped kitchen where we could prepare our breakfast and make small meals like pasta or sandwiches in the evening. The location is ideal to get to Amsterdam quickly, and the bus connection is very good.
