Guest Reviews

• Carlos Fredy (2/5): Pague dos noches y solo me quede una. - Ubicación Falta de higiene y limpieza del barco en general, todo desactualizado y funcionando mal, ventiladores defectuosos peligrosos sin cobertura de hélices, baño con malos olores, zancudos y bichos en cocina y camas. Mala relación calidad precio por la falta de renovación. Teníamos dos noches y nos quedamos una sola.
• Carlos (1/5): Vergonzoso no recomendable - No. Personal bochornoso y el alojamiento pésimo. Tuvimos que alojarnos en un hostal.
• Barry (10/5): Brilliant Boat Stay - The location is great, next to a beach and easy access to the city via the Metro or Tram. Sitting on the back of the boat watching all the fishes in the Marina is such a good way to relax. The host and her son couldn't have been more helpful. We would definitely stay again thank you. It was all good. You have to remember that you're staying on a boat not in a hotel 😀
• Stadler (8/5): Belle expérience catalane -
• KOÇAK (6/5): - konum iyi klima
• Barbara (9/5): Superbe expérience de Barcelone sur un bateau - Nous avons beaucoup aimé de séjourner sur le bateau, proche de la plage et des transports. Merci aux hôtes qui sont hyper réactifs. Pas de douche dans le bateau et les douches/sanitaires sont assez loin du bateau.
• Baudry (9/5): - Super
• Roy (1/5): - Sie war in Barcelona. Wir waren mit 2 Erwachsenen und einem Kind (10 Jahre) im Juli 2025 in der Unterkunft. Das Boot ist sehr dreckig und kaputt. Bei unserer Ankunft waren die Betten nicht frisch bezogen, es gab Flecken auf den Laken und Kopfkissen. Dazu hat es auch benutzt gerochen, das ganze Boot riecht sehr unangenehm. Am schlimmsten ist die Toilette, die unbenutzt blieb. Meine Frau hat sich jedesmal fast übergeben wenn sie zum Zähneputzen in diese „ Zelle“ sollte. Die Sitzflächen im Innen- wie Aussenbereich waren mit Flecken versehen. Den Spiegel im „ Bad“ konnte man nicht so nennen. Es riecht modrig und es gibt keine Klimaanlage, nur Ventilatoren die nichtmal einen Schutz davor haben. Das Schlimmste ist, dass das hintere „Schlafzimmer“ mit Schimmel befallen ist, was wir erst kurz vor der Abreise bemerkt haben, was aber den plötzlichen Husten meiner Frau erklärt. Auf unsere Beschwerde und die Bitte einer Rückerstattung bei dem Vermieter wurde uns versichert das alles in Stand ist und sauber. Siehe Fotos!!! Der Kühlschrank ist so verdreckt und alt, dass man da wirklich nichts unterbringen möchte. Genauso wie das Geschirr was sich dort befindet. Wir hätten die Bewertungen vorher richtig lesen sollen, denn schon vor 2 Jahren wurde dies alles bemängelt, bzw. Vieles davon. Wir sind komplett von Moskitos zerstochen, da es keinen Schutz gibt, man aber die Fenster offen lassen muss, weil man sonst erstickt. Man darf kein Papier in die Toilette werfen, deswegen haben wir diese nie benutzen können. Man muss vom Steg runter und in der Marina gehen. Auch nachts mit dem Kind. Zum duschen muss man gut 10 Minuten laufen und das geht nur von 9-19 Uhr. Was wir vorher nicht wussten. Auch dort ist es nicht sehr angenehm.
• Colm (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vyacheslav (10/5): Very pleasant relaxing stay in Barcelona - Location in the port area not far from the beach with easy access to the city by metro or tram, very helpful owner (she was available for any questions we had during our stay, we communicated in whats up). Boat had a small kitchen inside with microwave oven and in the port is a shop and various caffès, restaurants in 2 minutes walk from the boat. Kids really enjoyed stay, it was very interesting experience:) Just to add to the explanation video how to use the shower☺️
• Ann (9/5): Superb - Excellent location easy to get to public transport Not good WIFI Showers were lukewarm and far away
• Ivan_samuilov (8/5): Very good -
• Ryan (7/5): Disappointing Stay: Poor Facilities and Security Concerns - The response time and professional approach from the staff were very good. Also, the information on how everything works was very detailed and easy to follow. Our experience at the port was disappointing. None of the showers or bathrooms near the dock were functional, and we were directed to facilities located a 10-minute walk away. Unfortunately, those facilities were extremely dirty and poorly maintained. The security at the dock was another major concern. The gate to the dock was broken and left unsecured, allowing anyone to access the area, which made us feel uneasy. Additionally, the boat's entry "door" was just a thin piece of wood with a small lock, offering minimal protection. This lack of security left us feeling vulnerable, especially with many homeless individuals loitering near the dock. The boat itself needs some serious attention. The fridge was broken, and we didn’t discover the second small fridge until the third day. The outdoor table was broken, and, to our dismay, the indoor table also broke during our stay. On top of that, the boat was somewhat untidy, with about 10 old, empty air fresheners scattered around. Updating on sheets and pillows is overdue. We left a day early to a hotel so we could have a proper clean shower.
• Saminathasarma (5/5): Passable -
• Bennid (7/5): Prepare yourself for a boat stay - not a hotel - Lovely little boat in Port Forum. My partner really enjoyed spending a night on a boat. If you've slept on a sailing boat before it will meet your expectations, however if you're expecting a hotel you'll be surprised. Wifi signal isn't great on board, but pretty good on deck. No hot water on board. Showers are on shore a couple minutes walk away and are not cleaned that often (not the fault of the property) Mattresses are thin.
• Silvia (9/5): Bona alternativa al hotel tradicional. - Experiencia diferent 😅
• Naomi (8/5): Relaxing break - The boat was lovely and clean with everything you need inside. The toilet was very smelly even though we didn't use it much
• Chieh (8/5): Very good - It is a unique experience for sure! Really well catered for the 3 adults and a child in terms of room for an evening!
• De (8/5): Very good - Staying on the boat was a unique experience
• Paula (9/5): Superb - Staying in a boat!
• Maria (10/5): Pleasant, comfortable and exiting - It was a pleasant experience to stay at your boat, we were comfortable, relaxed and very happy. We plan to visit again ;)
• Ileana (4/5): I do not recommend this property. - Easy access and nearby restaurants. Communication with the host was efficient. I needed to change a radiator that was not heating and she responded promptly. The rest are things that she couldn't fix on the spot and I described it in the "what I didn't like" section. The boat is very old and the smell is very strong inside. I told her that it smells wet, but she said that there is no way it could be that way. Sheets and towels look dirty and have stains on them. The blanket covering the sofa in the living room is dirty and there are hairs everywhere. We stayed 4 nights and we prayed it wouldn't rain because I was sure it would rain inside the boat. Last night it was confirmed that I was right. It was raining in the boat in the stern cabin and in the bathroom. I was lucky that it didn't rain in the beds. In order to be able to sleep with the children, I had to dress the pillows in our t-shirts because we didn't want to put our heads on those sheets. The dishes are dirty and I bought disposable plates for breakfast. The kettle for boiling water is full of limescale and the stove does not work. This old boat from 1985 was a very nice boat in its day, but now it is completely unmaintained and not a pleasant experience at all, at least not for this time of year when you need heating, hot water and no rain. Cleaning the boat has nothing to do with the fact that the boat is old. This must be improved to the maximum. It is unacceptable to find objects forgotten by other guests, for example the comb in the bathroom.
• Veronika (7/5): Good -
• Russell (9/5): Great value accommodation away from the hustle and bustle of the city - Very good location, quiet and peaceful. Very comfortable bed. Well organised Everything was great. No negativity
• Boaru (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amy5931 (10/5): Perfect little getaway - Had everything we needed for a short stay in a beautiful area close to amenities, great fun lil boat- kids & adults enjoyed the experience 😊 N/a
• Stefan (10/5): Perfect stay! - Great experience to sleap on a boat. We were with 3 adults and had enough space. The communication with the owner was very good. He/She responded always in a few minutes and gave us a good tip about parking in the harbour.
• Darlene (8/5): Something new to try. - It is a little out of the way but close to the tram for access to the other forms of public transportation. The access to the dock is secure, the boat was a different experience which we enjoyed. Getting on and off was tight with the big wheel in the middle, especially for the luggage. But we managed.
• Andrei (8/5): Very good -
• Ines (1/5): Worst experience in a boat and Barcelona - Not a single thing. The location is more than five km north of the centre, completely isolated and the marina itself is dirty, smelly and the odour of garbage pervades all the surrounding areas. The boat itself was very shabby, with a very strong odour of mould and urine in the bathroom, if you can call it a bathroom. The duvets and pillows were dirty and smelly. The water was only cold and no towels provided even when we realized, too late and as a result of other reviews, that the proper toilets and showers were located in the marina. Asked the property if we could at least have two towels as they didn't inform us in the check in info about this and the boat info in the description does not clearly state that there is no shower and that they do not provide towels. They curtly responded they don't "provide that service". Toilets and shower in the marina were very dirty. As a result we didn't have the possibility to shower and cut the holiday short and booked another flight back home the next day. Horrible experience and we have stayed once before at the marina near the Casino, but there is a night and day difference between them.
• Abbé (7/5): Port forum is beautiful and everyone was friendly and helpful - The location is excellent with good transport links into the city. Good communication regarding access etc Communal facilities were average to poor Beach club is only open on certain days/nights at this time of year. Boat is a little tired and could do with a few minor repairs and a bit of upgrading. It would have been use to have some local information (maps) etc. however we left the tourist leaflets that we had gathered.
• Alexandra (10/5): We’d be happy to recommend it ! - Beautiful, comfortable and clean with all amenities needed for a family.
• Barc (9/5): It was an overall great experience to be able to stay and sleep in a boat. Also, the host was easily reachable through c - The property was very clean and the boat was pretty big for 3 people and it didn’t feel too small. The only issue we had was that the water and electricity was cut off for a day for all boats but aside from that everything was fine.
• Daniel (9/5): Beautiful experience. Would definitely go again! Thank you for listing this online haha - Loved the atmosphere of being on a boat. Just the vibe of being by the port was amazing. You can also go out on the deck and eat/drink which is beautiful. Only problem is, you are quite a while away from the city center, so you have to take a train/transport into the city. Also, the restaurants right near the accommodation is quite expensive. I had to walk about 10/15 minutes away before reaching some decent restaurants. Overall the experience was amazing. As mentioned, the distance away from the city center can be a problem. Also, there are some mosquitos from being near the port. Very small complaints. Overall it was amazing and I would definitely go again.
