Guest Reviews
- Kirsty (3/5): We couldn’t do this again I’m still itching - We were excited to stay on a boat and enjoyed our first hour or so feeding fishes and watching the day pass by. Was even willing to over look the smell and damp spots. The place is riddled with cockroaches they are of all sizes so definitely nesting there. I couldn’t sleep nor could my daughter after seeing so many. Mosquitoes although bad became less bothering than the roaches.
- MARIA EUGENIA (5/5): Podria estar mullor - La ubicació i la amabilitat de la amfitriona. Hi havien molts mosquits,i ere molt molest. La meva parella no va poder dormir. I una cuqui. El bany feia mala olor. Una llum fosa i endoll que no deuen ionaba. Necessita un manteniment.

- ludovic (7/5): - Expérience sympathique - bateau agreable - confortable et propre Environnement Marina décévant- manque de propreté - nombreux services fermés - station plutôt réservées aux fêtards avec un yacht club plutôt dédié boite de nuit avec les nuisances sonores et fréquentions qui vont avec

- Laura (3/5): Avoid staying here - This was, without a doubt, the worst accommodation experience I’ve ever had. The boat is in an appalling condition and should not be listed for rent — it poses serious health and safety risks.
The moment we stepped on board, we were hit with a strong damp and musty smell, especially in the bedroom. All the bedding and cushions were damp and smelled unclean. The bedroom wall was visibly damp and mouldy, and one of our group ended up with a sore throat from attempting to sleep there — her clothes were also damp by morning.
There were cockroaches crawling around the kitchen, sofas, and bedding — we counted at least ten. The toilet constantly smelled terrible and backed up when used. The towels left for us were stained and dirty.
We are now all covered in bedbug bites. This is absolutely unacceptable and has left us uncomfortable, itchy, and incredibly frustrated. The bedding clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned in a very long time, and now we’re dealing with the consequences.
The shower situation was ridiculous — they were a 20-minute walk away, which was not clearly advertised, and our key card didn’t even work to access them. When we finally got in, the facilities were filthy and completely unhygienic.
The listing is highly misleading. The boat shown in the photos is not the same one we stayed on. It shows a clean, well-maintained outdoor area and modern showers — neither of which exist. It also claims to be close to the city centre, but it took us 45 minutes on public transport to get there.
This boat is not suitable for three people — and in its current state, not even one. It’s damp, mouldy, insect-infested, and falling apart. We paid a ridiculous amount for what can only be described as a health hazard.
Avoid this place. Booking.com should not be allowing this to remain on their platform. I have attempted to contact them with no response.
- pitchou (1/5): - Emplacement , vue Manque de proproté , mavauise odeur , probleme de moisissure, pas de rapport qualité prix
- Alice (1/5): Una presa in giro - Il bagno della barca non era agibile (impossibile scaricare). Nonostante la nostra segnalazione tempestiva, il problema è stato ignorato.
Gli unici bagni disponibili H24 erano quelli della marina: sporchi, puzzolenti di fogna e infestati dalla blatte.
Non siamo state avvisate, se non tre giorni prima della partenza, che in barca non era possibile fare una doccia, e che le uniche docce disponibili erano quelle situate all'interno della capitaneria di porto, che si trova circa a un chilometro di distanza.
L'host ha continuato a darci informazioni confuse sugli orari di apertura della capitaneria procurandoci un forte disagio: il primo giorno dopo una giornata a camminare sotto il sole non abbiamo potuto lavarci a fine giornata. Il secondo giorno ci è stato detto che avremmo potuto accedere alle docce della capitaneria, usando il badge in dotazione, anche fuori orario di apertura della capitaneria. Ma, una volta giunte sul posto, abbiamo trovato il cancello sbarrato. La mattina del terzo giorno siamo arrivate alla capitaneria alle 8.30, visto che l'host ci aveva indicato le 8 come orario di apertura, ma la porta non si apriva né suonando il campanello né utilizzando il badge. Abbiamo ricontattato l'host che ha cambiato versione dicendoci che la capitaneria avrebbe aperto alle 9. Il ritardo ci ha causato non poco stress visto che avevamo una visita prenotata in centro la mattina stessa. Siccome il lettore del badge all'ingresso che ci era stato indicato non funzionava, davanti alle nostre rimostranze, l'host ci ha informato che avremmo potuto accedere dall'ingresso principale (lato marina) fuori orario con il badge oppure suonando alla reception in orario di apertura. La sera stessa stanche e sudate abbiamo provato a fare così, ma senza successo poiché il cancello grande di accesso alla capitaneria era chiuso e non permetteva nemmeno di avvicinarvisi.
- ASMA (5/5): - Cuando llegó la noche
El clima esta noche estuvo hermoso. La vista de noche
- Miroslava (9/5): Superb - It was really romantic and cozy place for vacay. Perfect communication with the host, always ready for help :-) If I arrive to Barcelona again, this boat will be on first place to book. Highly recommend!
- Julie (1/5): Bad - Had to pay for other accommodation for the trip
- Jiří (9/5): Nice, interesting, fun 🤩 - Interesting place at very good locating we love it! For someone lower ceiling. 😂
- Alejandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Loupin (7/5): Magical and memorable - The location was great and the boat was nice, we felt very safe and secure, it was a magical experience The bed mattress was a little too thin and the pillows needed to be better other than that it was a great holiday
- Petr (7/5): Small and cozy boat, but challenging in winter - The boat offers a romantic and unique experience with convenient public transport access. It includes a small kitchenette equipped with a microwave, fridge, kettle, coffee machine, and sink, making it self-sufficient. The bedroom is cozy, and the host is responsive and helpful. Overall, it's a memorable experience, though best enjoyed in warmer weather and for shorter stays. The boat was quite cold during our January stay; an additional heater would make it more comfortable. There was an unpleasant smell—a combination of old furniture and strong air fresheners. We were informed the night before arrival about ongoing shower renovations, which meant a 1-1.4 km round trip for showers; a discount or prior notice would have been appreciated. The toilet had a strong odor. The check-in process could also be improved with a clear PDF guideline instead of a lengthy 5-minute video, which felt cumbersome for accessing essential information like key box codes. Given the availability of more affordable accommodations, I wouldn't choose this option again.
- Jiří (9/5): Superb -
- Fiona (10/5): Fab quirky little stay. Loved it. Fantastic host. - Host was attentive and communicated well. I didn't have any real issues. Was wonderful to have a private space for our stay for fair price. Check in and out was easy and hassle free. Not really any fault of host but marina complex itself could do with care to the toilet and shower areas. At many times no soap or toilet paper and locks broken on doors. It should be sorted by marina management really but thought to mention that prospective guests might take note to just bring soap and toilet paper from boat to the marina showers/toilets just in case and I found showering in the evening I could do so in peace and not worry about someone pushing the broken door in.
- Aap (8/5): Great option for solo undemanding business traveller - Fresh air in the marina, affordable, plenty of space for solo traveller, 20 minute walk to the Conference centre and beach.
Fridge, power outlets, coffee machine. Low ceiling not good for someone taller than 180cm, bathroom in the boat but issues with clogging, shower not on boat nearby is relatively public (access by keycard?, mosquitoes
- Laurel (8/5): Very good -
- Jenny (5/5): Disappointed. But the experience was not entirely wasted. - The location and ease of access was great. Staying on a boat was a good experience. The restaurants nearby were of good quality too. The facilities on the boat were very poor considering we had paid €388 for 2 nights. There were no lights working in the bedroom or the bathroom onboard. The mugs were chipped, there were only 2 knives but three of us staying, there was only 1 wine glass and the three tumblers needed washing. There were a couple of little plastic cups. The bath towels provided were stained and tatty and the bedlinen looked like it was from the 60's. Very tired and dated. Also the mirror in the living room was broken. The cushions provided to sit on the bow were very thin and ripped which provided no comfort at all. When we entered the boat there was an overwhelming smell of mustyness so it clearly needed to be aired. Also it should state in the description of the boat the overall length to give visitors an accurate indication of size.
- Belal (8/5): Overall it was a wonderful experience on a boat. It’s a bit small for 3 people, and was a bit too hot inside the boat. S - Good location and clean Bit too hot inside the boat. Also it’s a bit too tight for 3 of us. Good for a couple
- Jeroen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mathilde (10/5): Exceptional - I think it can fit max 2 short people.
- Sophie (9/5): Really enjoyable and would recommend to anyone! - We loved staying on the boat it was so unique and relaxing. It was lovely to sit outdoors in the sun with a drink. Felt really safe and secure and clean. We liked the fact there was a shop, some restaurants and the beach a walk away. The bathroom was rather small which was a bit uncomfortable and sometimes it was a bit of a nuisance walking to the showers but we understand that’s what happens on a boat. Also we felt quite far away from the centre but it was still only a 15 min Uber away so nothing too bad!
- Julius (9/5): Cozy boat, for the price worth it - Heating is kinda difficult in cold nights, But it works
- Tommy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adhara (7/5): Good -
