Barcos Casa OstrAveiro

The welcome and service were superb, and the place was very clean. It would have been better if the river crossing could be done before 23:00.

“Very overrated”

The boat itself looked nice, but we had a problem with dirty water on it and the crew couldn’t fix it, so we were given another boat. Breakfast was very good. However, the experience felt overrated; the location isn’t as nice as the pictures suggest. The staff at arrival were unfriendly and gave no explanation. The dirty water issue left a bad smell for the whole day, and the second boat was noisy all night. There was nothing to do on the boats; when we asked about using the kayaks, they said it was nice to kayak, but we couldn’t go anywhere, so we stopped after five minutes. Walking was also impossible, so we spent the day at the beach and returned for the night.

“decepción”

The novelty of having a floating room is great. Google Maps doesn’t lead to the correct address. Breakfast is very late (9:30‑10:00), so if you plan outings you don’t have much of the morning. There’s a kettle but no tea or chamomile available to guests; you have to go to the restaurant. The Wi‑Fi password isn’t in the room either; you must ask for it. They don’t allow you to flush toilet paper, which is fine, but they have to come to the room to collect the bin. We stayed two nights and they didn’t come for either bin, neither in the kitchen. We were the only guests, and the breakfast tray stayed on the terrace all day; we had to bring it to the restaurant when we arrived at night. Cleanliness was poor, with spider webs everywhere, and with so many windows the glass wasn’t even a little clean. The surroundings could be better cared for, especially since we’re leaving the summer; it’s quite abandoned. Staff attention was correct—just “good morning” and nothing else. If you ask something, they either don’t know or don’t want to explain. I was carrying a suitcase, a handbag, and a 10‑kg dog; when we boarded the boat to the hotel, no one offered help. You pay for the experience, everything else is very, very improvable.

“Erg fijn verblijf, lekker onthaasten.”

The location is lovely. When we arrived, the key was handed to us in a hand‑held box, and the houseboat was pointed out. A bit more explanation would have been nice. Regarding the location, where can you leave the trash, etc.

“Experiência única mas não pede para voltar”

Sleeping in the houseboats is an original experience, and the room’s view over the river is very private and beautiful. It’s more spacious than I expected and has the basics for a comfortable stay. Everything inside is in good condition. Breakfast is very varied and high quality. The bathrooms are very small and not very functional. The outdoor area needs maintenance and cleaning.
