"The pictures of the houseboat in the ad were accurate - it is very nice and immaculately clean. The landlord is nice and very helpful and responded very quickly to our every question/concern. It also is in a very nice location - we were very happy we spent the extra money to stay in the canal district ON a canal - another thing off my bucket list!"

"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten. Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

"Such a beautiful place to stay! The houseboat was definitely worth the trek into and out of Amsterdam - it felt like a little reprieve from the craziness of the city. Took us about 30 minutes to get into town each day, of which was a 15 minute bus ride. The town of Monnickendam was super welcoming and had great food options! One thing to be wary of would just be the spiders - all of us did end up getting bit because there are just so many in the marina that would find their way into the boat....

"Zeer goede ligging, Airconditioning in woonkamer werkte minder goed dan in de slaapkamer, koelkast beetje te klein. Zeer positief de grote parasol en het terras, kortom genoten en zeker om nog een keer te boeken waard. Mooie zonsondergang en mooie maan die opkomt, veel dieren aan de overkant van het water gespot.

"Schönes gemütliches Hausboot in einer kleinen Marina. Einrichtung war alles da was man braucht - sogar WLAN und zwei Fernseher. Bett war frisch überzogen und Handtücher lagen ebenfalls bereit. Wasser wurde auch immer wieder aufgefüllt. Am Tag der Anreise habe ich morgens die Nachricht bekommen mit Adresse und einem Schlüsselcode. Völlig unkompliziert. Eigentlich ruhig gelegen - aber gegenüber der Marina geht eine Landstraße vorbei , ab und zu hört man mal ein Auto. Alles in allem eine coole...
