Actually nothing, just one small caveat: the booking says 'Breakfast included', which means in this case that you have a fully equipped small kitchen - plus a bit of foodstuff provided - to self-prepare your breakfast. Which was no problem for us at all.

The barge - actually more holiday apartments than a B&B -and its (interior) decoration in the style of 50s&60s in almost every detail is fantastic. The location is near to shopping and eat&drink facilities and only 15min walk to the streetcar going into town. The little apartments with balconies right above the water are very nice. Fully equipped kitchen (see 'breakfast' below). Location is very quiet at night - at least normal nights, we stayed on the day of 'fete de la musique' which was also fun!

Finding property was a challenge because booking.com not changed address. However fortunately Gaspard directed us in. So booking..com get ur act together. Don’t follow address if u use booking.com but follow gaspard directions.

Quirky accommodation. Love the art deco design. Great spot but easy to get into the city. Gaspard was very helpful. Great communication. Would definitely recommend to others.

It was a bit noisy from the club round the corner but we did have the doors open and it was Saturday night - the next night was quiet

Amazing quirky boat stay - loved the decor and nice food bits left for us

It's a wonderful place, every little detail is designed and prepared with much love and attention. Well kept, comfortable and beautiful. Hosts are kind and welcoming. We appreciated small breakfast provisions and the perfect equipment. And it's so beautiful being on the water! Thank you!

The breakfast was very basic but better than nothing!

This is a truly unique and attractive property - very interesting and artistically furnished and decorated. Large space with a wonderful balcony overlooking the water.

Romantic place, with beautiful view from window and very unusual to sleep on the board. Vintage style makes good vibe for relaxing and enjoying time inside.

Amazing location, easy transport links in to Bordeaux, lots of eating places nearby, all in all a great place to stay.

Were expecting the accomodation to be on its own but the boat is divided up into several units so its not that private

quirky and characterful accomodation. good location

The owners pre travel communication could be better, travel directions were left to the day of travel despite ignored requests beforehand. It was difficult to pick up the communications on the travel day and wised some anxiety about finding our location. Be aware of the mosquitos and do not leave doors or windows open at night. We took some extra pillows, as only two were provided, as learnt from another review. The shower in apartment 3 is a little broken, just needs a new head to stop it leaking.

Great location, unique and characterful accommodation, yet very well equipped and most comfortable, although two additional pillows would be nice. The owners provided basics for breakfast as well as items such as travel adaptors. You have a kettle, hob, fridge and microwave as well as great air conditioning/heating in both the living space and bedroom. We would recommend and we would stay again for sure. Nearby are a good range of restaurants and nightlife, along with the city centre just a short tram or taxi ride away.

Very cozy and comfortable

there are some aspects to being on a boat that were a little hard like the stairs to the lower level were skinny and steep you have to watch out not to hit your head on tv as it sticks out into kitchen hall

really different, an experience and a bit of an adventure you can feel like a local as their boats are nearby, it’s a community feel roof deck was a nice touch and had great views of historic sub base wonderful to have kitchen to cook and a big table to sit around welcome supplies are left in fridge for breakfast you do need a car to stay here, parking is free and secure hosts are very friendly and helpful close to wine museum, maritime museum, submarine base and some great bakeries

attention to detail was fantastic! fantastic stay

There was no soap provided for the shower. The wifi was very slow.

Breakfast was adequate. Location was good, although having a car helped a lot. It was a bit noisy at night with the bars across the water, but not too much of a problem. Apart from that we had a very comfortable stay and it met our expectations.

The Bed - Sheets do not stay on bed. needs a top sheet also. 4 Reg pillows would of been great.

We didn't meet any staff and it would have been nice to be able to ask for some bread / pain for breakfast

A wonderful find in the very popular area of Bordeaux

Amazing views and a great location in Bordeaux. Easy to get into the city. Very clean and well equipped accommodation and great air con.

Stepping over the stairs when you came back in the dark was a challenge. But, hey, it's a boat and so we were careful. You just had to be aware and it was not a problem really.

What a delight to stay in a boat overlooking an interesting part of Bordeaux. With temperatures up to 38 degrees we were delighted that the air conditioning worked very well throughout the boat. In the morning it was lovely to switch the air conditioning off and open the windows and let the cool breeze blow through the boat. Reading on the deckchairs upstairs was a delight. It was just magical to stay in a lovely boat with a shower & toilet within separate wine kegs - fascinating. There is parking for hundreds of cars next to the boat - yes, hundreds - there is a whole dockside available. Overall the boat is super. Thank you.
