Found this place when planning our visit to the Netherlands. Was looking for a place out from the center of Amsterdam, yet close enough to get there by public transportation. While researching online I followed the public rail out from Amsterdam Station in several directions and found this absolute gem close to Amstel Station. Cannot say enough good about De Vergulden Eenhoorn. Deene and his staff were over the top in friendliness and hospitality. Everything far exceeded our expectations. We don't care for the usual hotel experience, this place rocked it for us. Also, the food and drink were absolutely wonderful. The garden setting of the whole place transports you away from the sights and sounds of the city and make you feel like you are in a serene oasis.

Leaving!!!!

It was super clean & stylish with comfortable beds. The staff were friendly & helpful, and the food in the restaurant was very good, and it had a busy, lovely vibe in the evenings. It was in a nice, quiet area & about a 15 mins walk to the Metro or Trams.

The Bathroom in the basement had a drain/damp smell a lot of the time. There were a few essentials missing in the both rooms like Tissues & a long mirror upstairs, and extra lamps are needed to see better in the evenings. A few of the light bulbs weren’t working & there was no soap in the soap dispensers in the bathrooms. Also there were only tiny coffee cups provided, which were no good for tea.

We liked the location just out of town, we were able to walk to the Amstel Metro station and it was 5 stops to Central Station. The facilities in the farm house were good, towels, toiletries, beds were comfortable. Nice quiet area. Ideal for a short break.

The TV was not working downstairs, no signal and upstairs we could only get one chanel to work. We didn't use the restaurant. Would of preferred a breakfast menu. We met Deene on arrival however, we would prefer to have someone onsite to help us.

Superb location for family with teenagers in a nice part of the city with great local restaurants , good vibe and close to the metro to take you into the heart of Amsterdam . Nice large bathroom , extremely comfy beds & large !! V quiet at night Host very accomodating …

Nothing to dislike

The host was lovely and attentive, the property was also lovely, perfect location, station very close by and only a few stops to Central :) We cannot wait to come back in the Summer, beautiful restaurant garden outside the property! 1 suggestion my friends and I would like to put forward, perhaps a sink area in the little kitchen area rather than the tongs and hair dryer that is located in there, if you are there for a couple of days or more having to take dirty plates and cutlery to the bathroom is not really ideal! The empty cupboard space I am sure pipes can be fitted! Just our opinion of course :) however this did not affect our stay here :0)

There was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom after a while when the heater was switched on, however closing the door blocked the scent from coming out! Again, would not stop us from staying here again.

Nice, peaceful location. On an old farm, so it’s a unique place in Amsterdam and the rooms have been done up well. Big bathroom and can sleep 4 adults. Good value for the location and size of rooms. Staff were friendly. Flexible check-out time. Rooms are quiet with good sound-proofing.

Not a hotel, just a set of rooms really. No cleaning of rooms during stay, and no reception area, but you can message the manager. Room hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly - there were quite a lot of old coffee cups in a cupboard and previous guest’s loose cigarettes in bedside drawer, so clearly the cleaners don’t do a thorough job. Towels and bedding were clean but were all stained in some way, should be replaced.

Quirky accommodation in a nice part of Amsterdam, near to Amstel station to get into the centre (*), with a very friendly host. Also as the accommodation is separate from the restaurant was quiet. * as a tip for anyone travelling as a family like we were you can get a €17.50 family day ticket for the metro/trans/buses if you download the app, which wasn’t obvious until we asked in the station.

Bathroom in basement and quite low ceilings.

Very quiet, you’d never know that people are in the on site restaurant and bar. Super comfortable bed. A short easy train trip to central Amsterdam and all the attractions. Would definitely recommend this stay to others who would like to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Super accommodating staff. Really happy with our choice.

There is nothing to complain about.

Deene is a superb and responsive host. Comfy beds and the suite is sizeable for a family of 4. Slightly further out from city centre but easy to commute with metro station nearby. Would have been great if the towels are changed and rubbish emptied daily but minor points. Just to note it is not a hotel with no reception desk at site. But the host is easily contactable if there is any issue. Would stay here again if we visit the city in future.

The Authentic Farmhouse is located in a quiet area between canals and within walking distance to the train/tram station. We were in Amsterdam during a heatwave so the A/C was greatly appreciated even if the power went out on the first day due to overload of the city infrastructure. Dane did a great job of letting us know this would happen and was easily reached by text during our visit. This is a great place to stay!

The first night we were there someone from another room was trying to connect their Spotify account and our tv turned on 2x's at full blast in the middle of the night. :) It may have been due to the staff party that was happening that night. Also, we returned one evening to find our hotel door propped open and the room had not been cleaned. I believe this was due to housekeeping issues.
