9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (12)
"Concept was a good idea but the water system really sucked. Took 4 flushes just to get paper down. The shower only had scalding water so was impossible to take a shower for three days. You need a sign that says private boat as we had to tell people it was not part of the floating park. Very noisey at night also might check into rats around the boat it was just not enjoyable at all"

JOIVY Elegant 2-bed houseboat near Canary Wharf
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (2)
"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."

Charming Historic Boat Moored opposite Kew Gardens.
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (65)
"We absolutely loved our stay aboard MV Seacrest. Mark is a great host who was wonderful about communicating before and during our stay. He greeted us aboard on our first day, gave us a tour of the boat and explained some of the rules and things about our stay so check in was so easy. Seacrest is definitely a unique place to stay, but if you know going in that you’re staying on a 100+ year old ship and not a luxury cruise mega boat, you will have a fantastic stay. Yes, the boat is cozy and a...

Cosy Canal Boat London City Centre for Family & Friends
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"I stayed with my wife and two children (9 and 12) and we had a great time. Thomas, the host, was super responsive the first day when we had a question, and showed up in a few hours to show us how things worked by himself. Thank you! The boat is pretty much exactly as shown on the pictures - in good repair and very comfortable given the space. My wife and kids thought it was a great adventure to find the boat and figure out how it all worked. We didn't try to cook on board but there were many...

Absolute Pleasure Yacht
4.0 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (7)
"This is a fun place to stay in so much as my room had a massive outside area, the bed was great and I could look out over the water to watch the fun of Canary Wharf Its very very basic. I had no shower gel etc in the shower, the toilet is a marine toilet, no water offered (or available) so needed me to visit a local shop. Its near all the bars so quite noisy. I'd stay there again but not for that price. Its too expensive for what it is. "

Dana, Historic Dutch Barge in idyllic location , Central London
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"We just wrapped up nearly a week on the Dana and we were sad to leave. She's been a quirky and unforgettable cozy home during our stay. As a family of four with two teens we had plenty of room, the bedrooms are on opposite ends of the boat so we plenty of privacy. The conveniences are fully functional, the overall vibe is "lived in and causal"—not high end or luxe, which suited us. The kitchen has all you need kit wise but no sunrises—the Tesco Express nearby is decently stocked though and we...
