Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Thomas VOakland, CA19,415 contributionsOne of the best parts of town to get a good look at life along the canals. Lots of beautiful canals to walk along and lots of canal houses to observe. It is an upscale neighborhood and you will find some nice cafes and places to eat.Written 3 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,415 contributionsThis is the great big park in the middle of the city. There are some great museums near here. We saw lots of people outside on a sunny day, even thought the temperature was cold. Folks come here to bike and hike and make picnics. A great city resource.Written 4 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 136ohanjanLiverpool, UK4 contributionsSuch a beautiful setting. 5 ladies who lunch spent several happy hours in the bar with drinks and snacks, then up to roof terrace. Fabulous afternoon. Views breathtaking in the sunshineWritten 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA19,415 contributionsThe largest open square in town, right in the middle of all the tourist crowds. You will find a big cathedral here that has been converted into an expo space and you will find municipal buildings. Be prepared for crowds.Written 4 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Viktorija J24 contributionsWe loved the zoo! Including a lunch break we were there from 11am till about 5pm.
I didn’t care that aquarium and a bunch of exhibits were out of order, it’s just part of a big place like that that some things might not be available to be viewed at times. Certainly plenty to see.
The cafes had a good selection of meals as well. Gift shop had many cool souvenirs there.
Our only 2 criticisms was that the puma and leopard enclosures which looked so tight and small. I mean the puma was very unhappy and walked in circles :( We really hope they get an upgrade soon, just like the other animals have! Second, the walkthrough bird area (the black body/ red beak birds) - rocks could do with a frequent wash down. It reeked and looked so bad.
Otherwise, beautiful inner city zoo!!Written 10 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was fresh food, hot food, chocolate, liquorice, plenty of clothes and jewellery.Written 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- fenne vAmsterdam, The Netherlands17 contributionsThe museum is very fun, educative and at a great location. The museum is very interactive, which makes it very kid friendly. It's also quite educational. I would recommend it, but it is more focused on the younger kids i'd say. It's definitly still fun for the older kids but there's not as much to learn I'd say.Written 22 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pat DIreland1 contributionGuide was excellent and very informative. The windmill and the technology involved was fascinating . Can highly recommend.Written 3 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA19,415 contributionsThis is a square and a churchyard surrounded by historic buildings. Nice to see the typical gabled houses that are not lining a canal, so one gets a different perspective. A charming and historic district.Written 5 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MelCon21Dublin, Ireland124 contributionsDecent Madame Tussaud’s. Doesn’t take long to get around but fun and well laid out. The big window is definitely worth seeing as it gives an amazing view of the town below. Loved seeing all the waxworks of local Dutch celebrities, that’s always one of my favourite things about visiting Madame Tussaud’s around the world. Definitely recommend a visit.Written 9 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA19,415 contributionsThis is an impressive neighborhood first because there are a number of world-class museums here. Note that if you are headed to these museums, you should get your tickets ahead of time, on-line or in person. But this is also a lovely gentle quarter, just a pleasant place to be. You will probably encounter crowds around the museums.Written 5 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nicole LKingwood, TX82 contributionsVery cool museum all about ships! From charting and maps to navigation tools and replica ships. The large ship that is available to explore on board is so interesting and fun.Written 15 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul JUnited Kingdom7 contributionsExcellent restaurant on the seventh floor of the library with stunning views of Amsterdam.
Great selection of food from pizza, burgers, salad and various other yummy delights.
Very peaceful place to relax over a coffee or eat a nice lunch with a couple of drinks.
Approximately 10 minutes walk from Amsterdam Central Station.
I'd highly recommend you seek this place out.Written 12 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Completely colourful and not overly rammed with people. There’s just so much to choose from it’s a little bit overwhelming but everyone was super friendly and it was spaced out enough that you could get a good visual of anything you wanted to buy whether it be fresh or bulbs.Written 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,415 contributionsThis is one of the widest waterways in the city and one that you can take a canal boat on, or walk along. It is not the most charming, but it is very practical as a way for transport. Several big bridges.Written 24 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
