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
- Follow Your CallingShawnee, KS57 contributionsWe loved every second of our Zaanse Schans tour! The windmill tours were informative and awe-inspiring, and my 4 year old loved the wooden shoe making demonstration. The shops had nice items for reasonable prices. Nice cafe with a basic lunch. Highly recommended!!!Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Roann Micallef AvalloneIklin, Malta3 contributionsJust an 11-minute train ride from central Amsterdam, Stadshart Zaandam provides a charming and less crowded shopping experience. The main street is lined with a variety of shops, offering something for every taste. Visitors are welcomed by the iconic Inntel Hotel, designed to resemble traditional Dutch houses, adding to the area's unique appeal. Stadshart Zaandam seamlessly blends modern shopping convenience with the charm of traditional Dutch surroundings. It's an ideal escape from the city's hustle and bustle, featuring friendly locals, cosy cafes, and picturesque streets. For a relaxing and enjoyable day of shopping, Stadshart Zaandam is a top choice.Written 30 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- geelongexpatMelbourne, Australia1,256 contributionsClean shopping area with food options. The hotel near the train station is interesting. There are plenty of places to chill near the canal. It did seem to be a bit rough at night though.Written 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trail210652432622 contributionsThe paintings are excellent and creative. Also with a pub and associated products for sell. You can enjoy a cup of beer and shopping apart from enjoying the paintings. The paintings will be renewed frequently. Owner of the gallery is nice and friendly.Written 23 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- caseyEdinburgh, UK1,977 contributionsThis is a working windmill that grinds pigments and dye to make paint. Its fascinating to be inside the windmill and there is an opportunity to climb the windmill and get some great views, I chose not to climb for health reasons but I stood by a small window and got a perfect view!Written 17 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lenny HAuckland, New Zealand968 contributionsAn interesting museum. The audio tour is very informative and they have done their best to add some interactive elements. Please note, the museum is not in Zaandam (use the Zaandijk train station instead).Written 27 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sm050604,471 contributionsThis windmill is a working windmill situated near many others. This particular one was an oil mill before being converted to be a dye mill. However where it's situated at the moment was not it's original site. You can pay a small fee of € 5,00 and go inside this interesting mill, or just wander around outside if you prefer as there is a path running along the river and passes by the windmills in the area.Written 13 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
