Once in a lifetime
Pros:

Interesting place, once in a lifetime

Cons:

Should have been told how hard it was to get in and out.
If my sister was with she would have refused to stay. Wifi hard to set up, took hours.
Never used the shower, like a cruise ship size. No window coverings felt like I was
In a fish bowl, even in bathroom

Wir kommen wieder!
Pros:

Das Boot wurde mit viel Liebe und gutem Geschmack eingerichtet. Im Großen und Ganzen ist alles vorhanden, was man zum Wohnen und Kochen braucht. Die Lage ist etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums, wo es herrlich ruhig ist. Trotzdem ist man, sowohl mit dem Fahrrad, als auch mit der U-Bahn (Metro) oder der S-Bahn (Sprinter) innerhalb einer viertel Stunde in der Innenstadt und am Hauptbahnhof.
Der gut sortierte Supermarkt (JUMBO) ist nur 500 Meter entfernt.

Cons:

Eines der beiden Waschbecken im Bad war von Anfang an defekt, was aber nicht so schlimm ist, da es ja ein zweites gibt. Die Spülmaschine war leider völlig schwarz, da das Wasser nicht richtig ablaufen kann. Geschirr und Besteck war zwar reichlich da, aber nur eine einzige Müslischüssel und nur ein Suppenteller.

Agradable estancia en el corazón de Rotterdam
Pros:

El anfitrión muy amable, nos recibió con una sonrisa y no dio todas las instrucciones sobre el alojamiento, ofreciéndose a dar también información turística. Los niños alucinaron con el alojamiento y disfrutamos todos muchísimo.

Cons:

No puedo poner ninguna pega.

Unique, Comfortable Stay in Rotterdam
Pros:

Wonderful host who met us to explain the uniqueness of staying on a house boat. He was also in touch throughout our stay when we had some minor problems. It was fun to experience a different accommodation type that can't be found many parts of the world. The beds were comfortable & clean.

Cons:

Only downside was a slight diesel smell that apparently is typical of house boats. It was very strong at first but the host investigated & fixed the problem but did say that some smell is normal as the water heater is run off of diesel.

Only other point to mention is that this is a boat - you have to walk down a gangway to enter. This was expected but can still be nerve-wracking especially with young children.

It was ok: airflow, accessibility and toilet were issues.
Pros:

Location was good.
Little airflow on a hot day. Having fans available would be wonderful as airflow was an issue on the 25C day we were there.

Cons:

It was VERY difficult to get into: challenging walk way, oversized stairs which could be corrected by installing additional stairs.

Great stay on a lovely boat!
Pros:

The boat is really beautiful and located centrally in the city The rooms on board are great and the kitchen is well equipped.

Cons:

* The gangway to reach the boat is slippy and moves quite a lot when you cross it.
* The rooms were not too clean. Also, the linen of one bed were wet. We could exchange them though with new linen from the closet
* There is a strong diesel/oil smell at the entrance of the boat. This might be usual for a boat, but worth to mention
