The property was unique and in a great location. We walked to Gibraltar twice and also enjoyed the excellent cafes in La Linea so we got the best of both worlds! Our house boat was the smallest so it was very compact, but it was comfortable for the 2 of us. Storage was thoughtfully appointed, plus the rooftop seating area was comfortable with an awesome view! We arrived by bus with the stop a short walk away, but I know parking was offered if needed. The host was very responsive and answered any questions promptly. The sweet cat who lives in the area and visited us was an added bonus!

Despite being just 2 people, we stayed in one of the large boats--two bedrooms, two bathrooms--and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The boat itself was impeccably clean and furnished with new, modern appliances and furnishings. There's an excellent kitchen for those who want to cook, and the boat's rooftop 'terrace' is a great place to relax. The provided water and welcome drinks in the fridge were a great touch. Communication before and during the stay was excellent, and written directions provided on everything (from parking to entry to departure and everything in between...) were clear and helpful. The Hausboat people also arranged a morning tour of Gibraltar for us, which was, again, extremely well organized and a lot of fun.

The host communication was superb 👌 contacted me before i arrived to make sure i had everything I needed. I had a question about the shower, the host responded very fast. I absolutely loved the easy communication with the host.

Outstanding place to stay and walk into Gibraltar. Come back to the boat and relax with the calmness of the marina, beautiful view of the Rock. Amenities are excellent on the boat. A real treat.

The location and views are excellent. Our boat was one of the Classics and was well appointed. They need to advertise that toilet paper is not allowed in the toilet in case that is an issue with anyone. The mattress needs to be replaced as we kept rolling to the middle during the night. But still a 4.5 star stay. Communication was very good with the host.

A fairly weather dependent option
Posted 3 Feb 2024 on HotelsDecided to try this unusual option. Positives: good comms from the owner - email with instructions and codes to get through the gate then enter the “boat/room”. The keypad on the door of the boat is not great as the buttons stick. It took 4 tries to get in.
The boat is small and compact but well maintained.
Alas for me I stayed on a windy night - the outside hammocks on all of the boats are a nice idea but they clattered against the boats all night making such a noise it was hard to sleep. The bed scores 4/10 comfort. Overall, sadly, for me, not worth the price. Would I stay again? Truth is had it been a lovely day, nice weather/then probably yes - being on the water and feeling the boat rock was very pleasant. The views of the Rock are great. But comfort level is pretty low. I’d be tempted to stay in summer but not in winter - that noise from outside banging of the hammocks was terrible.

Thank you for your feedback Mark, you are right saying that you would have enjoyed more and had a better experience on a sunny day than with wind, sorry that this affected your stay. Hope that you will change your mind and improve the experience in summer in our modern boat (bigger and with more comfort)!

One of a kind experience. The kids loved it.
Posted 5 Jan 2024 on HotelsA great experience. Easy self check in. Great location. Restaurants within 300m walk. Free bikes and helmets. We didn’t use the bikes. 5 min walk to Gibraltar border crossing. Again, a great experience.
