Perfect if your cool with glamping, a little off the main routs so harder to get to, not hard but two trams or the bus to downtown, walking distance to a lot. Great location on the camel however not fancy, a great spot to sleep outside with shade and peace and quiet

The is a tiny boat. The two single beds are not worthy of an adult...far too short. The bigger bed had very poor mattress and very low headroom. The bathroom is a cassette toilet out on the open deck. The host said there were public showers nearby, I didn't see them. The boat was dirty, old and tiny. Nothing pleasant about this stay.

Unfortunately, it's not my fault you didn't see the photos posted on the app. The boat is always cleaned after each guest leaves, the bedding is new, the camping bathroom is brand new and top brand, and public showers are a 10-minute walk away.

Staying on the boat was a unique experience. Since there is no bathroom, it’s naturally not the most comfortable accommodation, but it honestly feels a bit like camping in the middle of Amsterdam, and that’s part of the charm. We would recommend it especially for a short stay of one or two nights.One of the best parts was spending the evening on the boat and having dinner there, the atmosphere was beautiful and very relaxing.As a small suggestion for improvement, it would feel even more comfortable if the blankets had duvet covers. We believe everything was clean and it certainly looked clean, but covers would make the experience feel a bit cozier. A few small updates to the interior could also make the stay even better overall.We really enjoyed our stay, thank you for hosting us

My boyfriend and I attempted to stay here for about two nights three days. firstly, we never got an exterior picture of the boat so we had no clue what boat we were staying on. Secondly, we went into this knowing we would not get a shower, but were told on the listing that we would get a half bathroom(meaning a toilet). Once we got onto the boat, the host showed us two camping toilets where he then stated we can bring it inside where we sleep to use the restroom privately. He then began to say that we had to poop in a bag and bring it to the trashcan outside of the boat. Once the host left, we decided to sit inside of the boat and realized that the “3rd bed“ was actually not a third bed and neither of us could have fit in that boat comfortably. We also noticed that the propane tank where the heat is supposed to come out of was sitting right next to where our heads were supposed to be when we slept. These conditions were not as advertised and completely unsafe and unsanitary. We had to immediately try and find somewhere else to stay. The host refused to send a refund. Total SCAM, do not stay here.
