My sister and I stayed for two nights at the PhilDutch houseboat. The location is great as it provides easy access to the city centre and yet it is on a quiet street so it was very peaceful at night for sleeping. There is a boat dock within a few minutes walk where you can book the famous canal boat... more

Our stay on Efren's wonderful houseboat was far and away the best experience of our six trips to Amsterdam. If for no other reason than not having to deal with the dreaded "dutch stairs", also known as ladders. More on that later... To be honest we had reservations about booking a "Bed & Breakfast". We hold our privacy very dear... more

We recently returned from a glorious stay in Amsterdam where we stayed on the Phildutch houseboat. This was our sixth time in Amsterdam and our first staying on a houseboat. We had read the great reviews on TripAdvisor, but we still did not know what to expect. We arrived in Amsterdam about two hours early and Efren was not at... more

I booked the PhilDutch Houseboat as a surprise for my fiance's 40th birthday, and didn't regret it for a second. More self-catering than B&B, we had the whole boat to ourselves which let us make the most of the wonderful food on sale a couple of streets down at the Albert Cuyp street market. The location was perfect - a... more

I stayed on the PhilDutch houseboat with my mum and sister for four nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We rented the whole boat, which was the best thing for three people. Highlights: The living room and bathroom in particular were spacious Excellent level of cleanliness Shower was powerful Efron was very helpful in his recommendations Kitchen was well... more

If its specific flavor is to your tastes, I recommend the Phildutch houseboat very highly. My wife, daughter, and I just returned from a stay of almost two weeks on the Phildutch houseboat. (I was in Amsterdam for work, and my family joined me so that we could take our daughter abroad for the first time. She turned one while... more

We paid 200 euros a night to stay on Phildurch Houseboat. We were there for 4 nights including new year. The location is not as wonderful as we thought, apart from Heineken and Van Gogh Museum, we had to catch a tram everywhere. The canal itself has some quaint buildings but some unattractive industrial buildings as well. For the amount... more

For several years I always received outstanding reviews to my PhilDutch Houseboat because there's no unpleasant surprises in the houseboat except that you gonna like the place more than you expected in the pictures and the videos. I understand that everybody are entitled to their own opinion but I hope people can give an honest reviews so that they will...

We went to do the Amsterdam Marathon so wanted somewhere to stay that would be relaxing and peaceful. Well this certainly was the right choice. Was met by Efren who was very friendly and helpful he stocked the fridge well and even for Marathon runners there was plenty to eat. It was great to just sit watching the boats go... more

My husband and I spent three nights at the PhilDutch house boat. It was very comfortable and everything we were led to expect. The boat is all yours for the time you have booked even though we were confused on what to expect due to some of the past posts. Efran does live in the boat but only when he... more

We stayed at the Phildutch houseboat in July 2008 after staying at the Hilton in Paris. It was quite a change from one to the other but we couldn't have been happier with the houseboat! I would equate the quality of the boat to one bedroom timeshare condos I have stayed in. Please remember that it is not a hotel... more
