    The location was wonderful with an amazing view. Parking was nearby, as was a metro stop that could take us right into the city center. The bed was the most comfortable I have found since traveling in Europe. We felt warm and welcomed with drinks and even some snacks. I would love to come back.

    Sandra was a perfect host, she was next door so always available if we needed anything but honestly she provides everything you could possibly need! Shampoo, conditioner, razors, hair products, coffee pods, even wine! The bed is comfy with plenty of pillows, lots of towels were provided and there is an iron/ board and a small wardrobe. The kitchen is perfect to make breakfast, light lunches or a simple meal, but you are within an easy walking distance to restaurants and the tram stop into the center, we walked into Central Amsterdam on most days and the walk was lovely and mostly along the canal leading up to vondelpark... I'd never stayed in a boathouse before and it didn't feel at all as if we were on water, the boathouse itself is beautiful, very cosy, warm and perfect for two. The view of the lake is lovely, I'll miss waking up to it every morning. I honestly couldn't recommend the place enough and thank you to Sandra for being a wonderful host!

    My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the boathouse, the property was clean and cosy with a lovely relaxing view. Bed was very comfortable, facilities were just what we needed and complimentary bikes were great for a little tour of the local area. Thank you Sandra for a lovely stay we will certainly try to book again in the near future

    Nothing to dislike. Everything was thought out and host went above and beyond our expectations.

    Cannot recommend this place enough. Beautiful patio terrace to wake up too every morning, with cute views of the canal and surrounding boat houses. Sandra the host made us feel so welcome and right at home. Honestly a hidden gem, our favourite thing was the bed, we did not want to get out of it. We cannot wait to return!!

    The New Lake Boathouse is absolutely stunning. The interior and exterior are charming. The decoration inside is clean and modern but with a lot of personality. The facilities are great; there's a fridge and cooking facilities if you don't want to go out to eat. The floating balcony is a great feature - I enjoyed being able to sit outside in the sun watching the boats and ducks go by. The location is slightly outside of the city centre, but the nearest tram stop is just a 15 minute walk away and the walk itself features a lot of beautiful scenery. The local area around the boathouse is quiet and safe, so if you're looking to get away from the drunken tourists in the city centre then this is definitely for you. The host is very a very friendly, helpful and overall lovely woman. She gave us some complimentary snacks, beers and even a bottle of wine for our stay! I'd definitely recommend this boathouse if you're fed up of staying in hotels that all look the same and you want a change of scenery for once.

    Before I booked our flights we requested a late checkout (4pm) which was approved by the host in February. If it hadnt been apporived i wouldnt have booked later, more expensive flights. I then booked a later flight of 6.35 pm knowing we had the accomodation for the day, our luggage was safe and we could head into the city centre knowing we could eat and freshen up after. I have coeliac disease and had bought food from the supermarket that I had planned to eat before heading to the airport. The night before we were due to leave I received a message asking what time we were checking out in the morning so I replied immediately querying the late checkout. Didn't hear anything until 8.30 am the next day telling me we had to be out by 11 as she needed to clean for the next guests arrival. I shared screen shots of our message exchange and confirmation of late checkout and was just told we had to leave. She did offer to keep our bags but we had to throw all the food away and spend additional money on eating out and on a taxi to the airport. Very dissapointing, if you book here and request a late checkout make sure you confirm.

    Beautiful accomodation, exactly as described.

    What didn't we like, well actually not a lot, although being British would of liked a toaster, but it didn't matter really.

    Such a quaint boathouse which is attached to the owners property so if you need anything you only need to pop next door. Sandra is a super friendly and helpful host. The property has everything required for a perfect stay and the Queen bed was very comfy. The boathouse is set in a suburban area so you are away from all the hassle and bustle of Amsterdam city, you can use the owners bicycles to get around, but we choose to use the fantastic tram, bus and train system. Getting a 3 day ticket saves money and you get to see more.

    Everything was lovely

    Sandra is amazing host. There was coffee, tea, milk and even few beers and wine waiting for us. She looked after us like we were her family. Accomodation exceeded all the expectations, bed was super comfy, location and view amazing and bicycles provided did the job as we cycled several times a day into the town. It's close to airport but also close to city. We can't wait to come back! It was everything we wanted and more!
