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.

Walking along the Gedempte Gracht was a lovely surprise. Old and new architecture; lots of shops; and great restaurants. This along with other special places makes Zaandam high on the tourist list.

The area of the beautiful houses is very small and not as impressive as pictures show, but it is beautiful. This is a big shopping area with all of the good shops. You can visit if you have time, but not necessary, We mainly shopped there...

Such a recognisable statement of Zaandam, right next to the station. So interesting and unusual but fits in with area's architecture perfectly.

Amsterdam/Nederland has unique architectural buidlings but this building stands out. Worth the trip to go to Zaandam when in Amsterdam. Building very close to Zaandam Station

Zaandam certainly stands out from the rest in terms of mind blogging architecture. You can definitely appreciate the vision here. It's a nice place to take a walk. Most shopping available here and restaurants.

Clean 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.

The whole area has been redesigned and works very well with good access from the station to the shops and hotels. Very unusual design but all very interesting, clean and well kept.

It is a shopping area near the Zaandam Central Station, actually just outside the station. Well, the shops are not really special as you can also find them in other cities in the Netherlands. The eye-catcher is the building of the Inntel hotel because it is one of a kind. Funny and interesting to see. If you have a chance to stay in this hotel, it was very nice to see that each room has a different design with vintage image.
