Renting a houseboat is the perfect choice if you are looking to avoid crowded hotels and experience a genuinely unforgettable holiday. As being a truly once in a lifetime experience, a stay on a houseboat can offer an exclusive tour of a city away from the tourist hot spots and a level of freedom which is otherwise unattainable with any other means of accommodation.

Here are 7 reasons why you really should rent a houseboat for your next holiday:  

1) Houseboats are unique

Houseboats are a unique alternative to a hotel, without having to sacrifice on luxury and provides an opportunity to chart your own adventure. Imagine waking up to the sounds of nature as you drift through Kerala's backwaters while having your own crew to look after your every need or cruising past the main city attractions without the crowds of tourists. Houseboats give you the unique opportunity to explore a destination in a way that staying at a hotel simply cannot offer.

2) Houseboats stand for absolute freedom

Houseboats are the perfect choice for travellers wishing to explore a location at a leisurely pace. They allow you to stay in absolute freedom as you meander down scenic canals and immerse yourself in some of the world's most picturesque surroundings. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that a professional skipper is at the helm to navigate you through the waters and then choose to stop along the banks of the river at your own leisure, wherever and whenever the moment catches you.

3) Say goodbye to rowdy neighbours and hello to complete privacy

Houseboats give you all the privacy of a hotel room without the chance of thin walls and loud neighbours to ruin your holiday. Houseboats come in various sizes, allowing you to choose any level of privacy to make your holiday more comfortable. It's an intimate experience to discover a location at your own pace, just you and your dearest relaxing on a private deck as you watch the world go by from above.

4) Houseboats always have great views

By renting a houseboat you don't need to venture far to find fantastic views - they follow you. No matter what time of the day it is, houseboats are guaranteed to give you gorgeous scenic views of the city's quaint architecture or natural beauty. Wake up to the sounds of wildlife as you have your breakfast out on the deck and welcome in the evening with a sundowner as you drift down the river.

5) Houseboats allow you to craft your perfect holiday

Houseboats allow you the versatility to create your perfect holiday around your specific desires. Whatever your accommodation tastes, these floating bed and breakfasts can deliver. Choose from rustic wooden classics or modern bachelor pads decked out with all the latest modern conveniences, from hot tubs to beautiful fireplaces and even personal chefs; houseboats can meet every need and give you the maximum amount of comfort throughout your stay. You can decide to stay on a stationary houseboat overlooking exotic scenery or craft your own adventure by meandering down the calm waters, but essentially the choice is yours, making houseboats the ultimate choice for travellers who prefer having an abundance of choice to meet their unique tastes.

6) Houseboats attract the best kind of people

Houseboats attract travellers who have a strong sense of escapism and a certain type of person who want to experience luxury travel in a different way. They want the closeness of nature and to be away from the day-to-day pressures of life on shore. They are people who seek adventure and want to stay in beautiful, memorable accommodation. If this sounds like you, cancel your hotel plans and sign up for the ultimate floating vacation on a houseboat.

7) Houseboats are inspiring

Be inspired and see a different side of the city you are visiting by renting out a houseboat. Take your vacation from ordinary to extraordinary by watching the cities and nature drift by. It gives you an intimate glimpse into the everyday lives of the locals and culture. Drifting down canals also gives us time to reflect as the serenity of staying on a houseboat away from the hustle and bustle of city life has a way of reminding us about what truly matters in life and how beauty can be found in the simplest of moments.

So there you have it. Go cancel your hotel booking and take to the water for a holiday with a difference. Choose a houseboat and make your holiday unforgettable.

A good description of your houseboat will result in more enquiries and bookings. Please let us help you to get the best result possible with a some useful tips & tricks, starting with your free registration on BookaHouseboat.

Step 1: Create a free account here

Step 2: Confirm your registration by clicking on the link in the email you have just received. You will be directed to your personal profile page on Bookahouseboat.com automatically.

Step 3: Click on the button ‘Get started and list your first houseboat’.

Step 4: Fill out all the required fields. Describe your houseboat as good as possible, using attractive and informative language. Emphasize why your boat is so great. Our advise is to be enthusiastic and creative, yet always accurate. Here are some useful tips to give a good impression of your houseboat.

Tip 1: Describe your space

Guests want to know what they may expect. Therefore, always describe your space as good as possible. Do you rent out a complete houseboat, or just one single room on a houseboat. Do guests have to share the bathroom and/or guests? This is all very important and you can not be clear enough about this.

Tip 2: Describe the atmosphere

Every houseboat has it’s own character. Therefore it’s very useful to describe the specific atmosphere. Would you call your houseboat as ‘bohemian’, ‘modern’ or maybe ‘traditional with lots of original elements’. Well, you know how to describe your floating home better than anyone else.

Tip 3: Mention your Unique Selling Points

Very important: why is your houseboat so special? What are the unique features, making it as cool as it is?

Tip 4: Give an impression of your neighbourhood

Guests want to know where your boat is located, and what kind of neighbourhood it is. Give important landmarks, such as famous churches, museums and/or parks. 

Step 5: Add great photos

Good photos give the best possible impression of your houseboat. Make sure to include photos of every space in your houseboat. The ideal size if the photos is 1280 to 1920 pixels wide. Please make sure that the photo’s are free of rights (for example: the rights of photo’s that are taken by a official photographer of Airbnb lie with Airbnb)

Step 6: Add location

In this field you can further specify the location of your houseboat using the pin point. 

Step 7: Add rates

This field enables you to add the base rate, and as much special rates as you like. Also you can add ‘Extras’ that you might want to rent to your guests, for example: a kayak, canoe, fishing boat or hot tub. 

Step 8: Update availability

Make sure that your availability is always up-to-date. If your using other calendars (i.e. iCal or Google Calendar or the calendars of other rental sites such as Airbnb and HomeAway, VRBO etc) we strongly recommend to synchronize your calendar on BookaHouseboat with your main calendar. You can read here how to sync these calendars quick and easy.

Please note: no-one wants to receive enquiries for dates that the boat is not available. This is both frustrating for the owners, and much more for the traveller. Therefore we consider a listing only complete if the calendar is updated correctly. 

IN DUTCH:

Een goede omschrijving van je woonboot is het halve werk. Daarom geven we je hier in een aantal overzichtelijke stappen aan hoe je het best mogelijke restultaat behaalt.

Stap 1: Maak hier een gratis account aan 

Stap 2: Bevestig je registratie middels de email die je nu hebt ontvangen

Stap 3: Klik op de knop ‘Get started and list your first houseboat

Stap 4: Vul alle velden zo goed mogelijk in. De voertaal op BookaHouseboat is Engels, we raden je daarom aan om de tekst ook in het Engels te schrijven. Als je wilt dat wij een tekst voor je schrijven, dan horen we het graag. 

Beschrijf je woonboot zo goed mogelijk en benadruk waarom juist jouw boot zo geweldig is. Ons advies: wees enthousiast en creatief, maar altijd correct. Hier volgen enkele waardevolle tips:

Tip 1: Omschrijf de ruimte

Geef een zo’n goed mogelijk beeld van de ruimte. Is het een 'Stylish houseboat' die geheel wordt verhuurd, of slechts één kamer in een woonboot (bijvoorbeeld 'a private room in a lovely houseboat').

Tip 2: Omschrijf de sfeer

Spreek de doelgroep die je wilt bereiken zo goed mogelijk aan. Bijvoorbeeld met 'bohemian style', of juist 'modern houseboat with a contemporary design', of 'traditional steel ship with lots of original elements'. 

Tip 3: Geef jouw Unique Selling Points

Waarin onderscheidt jouw boot zich van andere? 

Tip 4: Omschrijf je buurt

Gebruik bekende landmarks/gebieden om een zo goed mogelijk beeld te geven van de buurt: Jordaan area, close to Dam Square, Amsterdam centre. Enfin, je weet zelf als geen ander wat jouw buurt zo bijzonder maakt.

Stap 5: Voeg geweldige foto’s toe

Goede foto’s zeggen meer dan duizend woorden. Het ideale formaat van de foto’s is 1280 tot 1929 pixels breed. Let er op dat de foto’s rechtenvrij zijn (de rechten van foto’s die zijn gemaakt door een officiële fotograaf van Airbnb liggen bijvoorbeeld bij Airbnb).

Stap 6: Vul de locatie, tarieven en beschikbaarheid in

Bij ‘Location’ kun je de exacte locatie van je woonboot bepalen. 

Bij ‘Rates’ vul je de tarieven in. 

Bij ‘Availability’ kun je de beschikbaarheid invullen. Lees hier hoe je de kalender van BookaHouseboat kunt synchroniseren met andere kalenders, zoals die van Airbnb en HomeAway. 

Let op: Het is van groot belang dat je beschikbaarheid altijd up-to-date is. Niemand wil aanvragen ontvangen voor data dat de boot al verhuurd is. Dat is zowel voor de verhuurder als huurder erg frustrerend. Wij beschouwen een advertentie daarom pas compleet als de kalender correct is bijgewerkt.

In the summary of your Booking request, you will see a summary of the changes you have suggested (see image below). The Traveller has been informed an can either accept, edit or reject these changes. When the Traveller accepts the suggested changes, you can accept the Booking request and finalize the booking.

The used amount of booking requests to calculate the scores can be different for each of the statistics because of one of the following reasons:

1. If the traveller cancels a booking request before you have responded to the request it doesn't count for your statistics.

2. If the traveller cancels a booking request before you have accepted the request it doesn't count for your statistics.
