Our expectations were not met at this price. This houseboat's best days are clearly over. The ground is overgrown, the railings and deck floor are not secure, and the railings are loose. The air conditioning needs cleaning! The same goes for the extractor hood. There's no sink in the toilet... And that's not all.
Owner's response:
We are very sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We will certainly look into what we can do to prevent such an experience in the future. However, your feedback is extremely surprising to us, especially as it differs so significantly from the experiences of our other guests.
