The property was very nice located, the host was very nice and we had a nice breakfast for some days. Also the host always checked with us in case we needed anything, which I found nice. The fact that the property was dog friendly was a very nice addition. Also the host offered us the possibility to use a motorised boat during our stay, which is a nice thing and even if we did not do it, I think it’s a must to do while you stay there. Maybe we will come back at some point and benefit from this facility.

There were spiders almost everywhere in the accommodation, we killed some on the walls (sorry about the mess, but it was more comfortable to kill them instead of staying there in fear). I think a little bit of more attention related to the cleanliness of the accommodation would be appreciated. I also would say that I would have appreciated more white sheets (it gives me the feeling that the sheets are cleaner), but that’s just my preference.

Very very nice host. I just mentioned ahead of my arrival that I am vegetarian and the host made an effort and left some vegetarian food in the refrigerator. It is wonderful experience to spend several days in the house floating on water. Waves cannot be sensed unless a big boat is passing very near by. The host lives in the same house in the next apartment, so if you need to ask for something, it is easy.

Mornings can be a bit chilly, depending on the weather conditions, so turn on the air conditioning early in the morning, since the ac needs some time to heat up the apartment (or set up the timer).

Norbert was a fantastic host and greeted me like a friend. He was very helpful and explained the accommodation, breakfast etc very well. Unfortunately I took the key and had to travel back to Zwolle to return it, but Norbert was very understanding and collected it from me at the station. A lovely place and location, a 10 minute walk to the centre of Zwolle - I was highly impressed. The breakfast was very good, fresh bread, ham, cheese etc and a good array of tea/coffee and juice.

Nothing - it was excellent.

We loved this property and can’t wait to come back! The owner (Norbert) is SO LOVELY and welcoming and checked in on us everyday to make sure that we had everything we needed. The bed was really comfortable and the view on the water was lovely. There is an outdoor fireplace and even a boat that can be used on the water. It is (roughly) 20 minutes outside of the city center but a beautiful walk/bike ride into town. Norbert provided so many options for breakfast and even brought additional items once he found out that we were vegetarian. We will absolutely be staying here again!

The unique experience of staying on a houseboat was great. I loved waking up to see swans and all sorts of waterfowl. Norbert was so kind and accommodating and drove us to and from the station, to the library to print tickets and to our son’s apartment. He even invited us to sing and dance around a fire with his friends for Christmas. It was unfortunate that Zwolle was experiencing record flooding while we were there but Norbert assured us we were safe and helped get our luggage over the floodwater.

The flooding was unfortunate but was beyond anyone’s control.

Norbet is one of the best hosts I have ever come across. His boat house is equipped with a nice bathtub and comfy bed. There are two TVs in the room if you need entertainment. He prepared an amazing breakfast and always checked with me to ensure I had everything. He even offered to do laundry and lend me the boat to go away from the town. Budda (his dog) is super friendly. I had a great time staying there and I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of his place.

An interesting take on the normal Bed and Breakfast which allows you the freedom to choose when to have your breakfast. The location was good although rather haphazard and not so appealing to get to. Once inside, the view out of the lounge window of the canal was lovely. However, inside the house boat, it was very good. Spacious and well equipped. The breakfast was extremely generous and the host likewise, nothing was too much trouble. He wanted his guests to relax and want for nothing. He was helpful too with where to visit. When we stayed, the temperature was 32 degrees so the air conditioning was very much appreciated. The two TV's were appreciated and even more so when we discovered we could get the BBC and watch Wimbledon! being able to park the car near to the house boat was another bonus.

It would improve the ambiance if the garden area was smartened up so that it was a place for guests to sit outside.

This is a very special place with the best owner! Waking up and see the river with ducks greeting you in the morning has no price. And this B&B has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The breakfast is superb, complete and also gluten free for me as a celiac person! And the best of this athmosphere is Norbert, a person with a big heart and a high spirit, it has been a pleasure to meet him. He made our stay so comfortable that we will never forget it. We'd love to come back again someday, of course we'll book this place and we'll recommend it to our friends. Thank you Norbert for everything, you helped us to be so happy there, you are magic!!!

It couldn'nt have been better.

Norbert was such a kind and attentive host. He picked me up from the station and made sure my special diet was catered for. The room was brilliant, looking right out across the water with a lovely garden at the back. It was a quick and pleasant walk into the town, which is an extremely picturesque place to hang out in with a fantastic art gallery and loads of enticing cafes.

Lovely setting on the river. Great welcoming host. Always friendly and helpful. Using his own transport to take us to a wedding reception and also to the City. Very relaxing stay, plentiful breakfasts and a lovely experience staying in a houseboat. Would have liked an iron!!!! All good. Would like to revisit someday. Excellent value. Thank you Norbert
