“Houseboat in Marina of Volendam is
beautiful place to stay - quiet, peaceful and quite romantic. It is stunning location with beautiful scenery where you can hear different species of birds in the background and watch the sun set.
You can easily reach all other destinations you want see and visit from here. They are shops, restaurants and places to eat around.
The houseboat is small but pretty and cozy inside.The beds are comfortable too but...
Unfortunately, there is a BUT...
In the bathroom there was NO SOAP TO WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
Ridiculous. That's basic and absolute must even in public places.
Little shower shelve to put your shower gel, shampoo etc. wouldn't be a bad idea either so you don't have to bend down every time you reach for your washing things from the shower floor.
In the kitchen was no salt, no pepper or sugar or even kitchen paper towel.
We travel quite lots and these things are basics & STANDARD in most rented properties.
Or do you really expect the tourists especially the ones coming from abroad to put all those missing things in their hand luggage to board the plane?
Another thing - in the kitchen there is a nice coffee machine/maker to place coffee capsules in without a single capsule.There was information missing that we should bring our own capsules and what type.
I think it would have been a nice touch to have few coffee capsules there for the guests as the stay is not exactly cheap.
We did love the houseboat and truly enjoyed our stay.
Only, it's shame..all those little things would make not only our stay but stay for all other guests in the future much better and nicer.
THANK YOU.

“Such a good place to stay. The location is great. The room had windows to two sides with views of the harbour. It was comfortable and immaculately clean - and great shower and spa bath. Coffee and tea making facilities. The owner was friendly and couldn't have done more to make us welcome.
As for the breakfast - served in your room and amazing. Everything good quality and tailored to your requests.
A perfect stay.
One thing to note - the stairs are steep and narrow - would be difficult for anyone with mobility problems.”
“Amazing little village in the north of the Netherlands close to water.
Nature is really beautiful absolutely worth it to go for a long walk!
The houseboat is surprisingly big and is really pretty. The roof terrace is amazing and it was all in all just super nice.
We met the host and she was really kind.”
“The staff is exceptionally nice, the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever found in a hotel or B&B to date, the location (and room) quiet and cute, the shower a pleasure to use and reasonably spacious, and everything was perfectly clean and worked as described and expected.”
