Houseboats in Europe

"Perfect place for our last night in Lisbon. Slept well, very quiet and close to airport.."

"Clean, quiet and five minute walk from local transport links"

"Despite being just 2 people, we stayed in one of the large boats--two bedrooms, two bathrooms--and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The boat itself was impeccably clean and furnished with new, modern appliances and furnishings. There's an excellent kitchen for those who want to cook, and the boat's rooftop 'terrace' is a great place to relax. The provided water and welcome drinks in the fridge were a great touch. Communication before and during the stay was excellent, and written directions...

"The location was great and it was nice to wake up on the water"

"Our stay was fine"

"Be aware: the listing shows only the units on the water. What you may actually be booking has no water around it. When we checked in we found that we were booked for a “Garden Unit,” meaning a boat parked on the grass several meters away from any water. Your view from such a unit will likely be weeds, not water. I am sure the unit interior is about the same as those on the water. We did upgrade, but it cost an extra €40 per night. Apart from the disappointment of not having reserved what was in...

"We very much enjoyed our stay. The location is fantastic!!! Many of the canals can have a lot of foot and bike traffic, especially at night. This location is close to everything, but on a quiet canal. We loved the funky old boat, but I would caution that the photos might be unintentionally misleading. This boat is fun and funky -not elegant. Think “70s kitsch” - tapestries, mismatched prints, space blankets on the ceiling. The bed was good, the other furniture rather uncomfortable. There is no...

"An amazing boat stay, very quiet and comfortable. Everything you could need to have a great time in Amsterdam! Highly recommend"

"Le logement n'est pas très grand bien sûr vu que ca reste un bateau, mais il est très agréable et fonctionnel. Avec climatiseur, parfait qd le soleil tape un peu trop fort sur l'embarcation."

"Loved our stay on this barge. Thomas was a great host. I’m not very techno minded, it would have been helpful if there was a copy of all instructions on the boat. Other than that perfect. We even had a tour on the canal to Camden, perfection in its self. X"

"Great choice!"

"Sehr ruhig gelegen, City zu Fuß gut erreichbar."

"La péniche n’existe pas !! Nous l’avons chercher de 16h à 22h, le numéro est faux et aucune peniche à l’emplacement c’est une anarque.. Nous nous sommes retrouver à 8 à chercher mais nous avons tous été arnaqué Hôtel.com a mis + 6h a nous contacter nous avons attendu jusque 23h dehors le soir de nouvel an. "

"Bon séjour, dépaysant. Le propriétaire est agréable"

"If your like me and love classic older timber boats with character and history this could be your thing. Great location, absolute waterfront of course, comfortable and cosy. Mark was a great, friendly host full of great info and history about ‘Seacrest’"

"We had a lovely stay in Hamburg and really enjoyed staying on the Peisssnitz! It is very clean and the design is very modern. It has everything you need and it is close to public transportation to go out and enjoy the city. One thing that should be obvious but I didn't think of before arriving: the boat does move a little bit because it's on the water and when it is windy."

"I stayed with 2 of my friends in this cute little boat. We had an amazing time where it was walking distance from the centre. Although there is no running water the host was very friendly and accomodate for us and always made sure we had what we needed. Definitely recommend if you want to stay on an affordable boat in the canals of Amsterdam!!"

"This boat was amazing, a home from home. It was hard to believe at times you are actually on a boat. Location was great only 5 minutes walk from Limehouse station. Loved that we were met on our arrival and shown around the boat and to know if we had any problems we had someone to contact. Facilities were great, everything supplied. Can’t wait to visit again."

"Wir hatten zwei tolle Tage auf dem schönen Hausboot! Es ist wirklich der reine Luxus dort. Wenn man reinkommt, ist es zwar sehr heiß, aber da man alles aufmachen kann, kühlt es auch schnell ab. Der Preis ist allerdings trotzdem sehr hoch. Der Check in ist relativ spät, das Check in Fenster zwischen 16:00 Uhr und 18:00 Uhr. Eher kurz. Dafür muss man dann um 10:00 Uhr morgens schon wieder draußen sein, das finde ich etwas knapp. Man muss auch alles ordentlich und sauber hinterlassen, es wird...
