Location of the boat was near Nordstan and Gothenburg station.
The boat was so cramped and small, if you are above 160cm your head will touch the ceiling. We spent the entire duration inside the boat crouching so we wouldn't bang our heads on the ceiling and walls. The toilet was built beside the main bedroom so it was very smelly. The entrance to the boat was a bunch of wooden planks taped together with duct tape, anyone could've just gotten into the boat, even strangers in the middle of the night. The listing is also inaccurate: Bedroom 1 Extra-large double bed was the size of a normal single bed. Bedrooms 2 and 3 don't exist because they're not rooms, just holes in the boat beside the engine with a thin mattress. You can see the picture for the "entrance" and the 2 bedrooms. The "bed" in bedroom 3 was covered with a vacuum and a mop. The "living room" is just the center of the ship and the "sofa beds" are just 2 thin mattresses that were probably 150cm long, my friends had to curl themselves just so they could fit on the "sofa beds". Good luck getting a single second of sleep in the boat. How on earth is this listing APPROVED by booking.com is beyond me, it's a health and safety hazard. Please do not stay here it was a miserable experience.

It’s a rundown sailing boat, if you are familiar with simple boat life or camping you can handle it. The infrastructure of the port (power/wifi/toilet/shower) is ok.
The front door was broken and anyway not suitable for colder temperature. I had to fix it with tape so the wind wouldn’t come in. No one cleaned after the last guest and it wasn’t clear with bed linens were used. The boat isn’t isolated in the slightest, you can see trough holes at some places. You don’t want to stay there if it gets to freezing temperatures.

It was cheap
- WiFi didn’t work
- didn’t know how the toilet worked
- everything was dirty
- was smaller then the pictures seemed
-one of us got a big fat splinter from the floor
- there was a small leak in the top of the boat roof which made the sheets wet

- If you like camping, you will enjoy the stay. If not, this may not be for you (making your beds etc)
- Staying on a boat, in the heart of Gothenburg is pretty querky
- The captain was always available 24/7
- The shower facilities are good
- Wi-Fi on the boat was a little hit and miss
- Although it can sleep 5, if you have a big bag that takes up a lot of your space. Our second visit we worked out how to spread things out (first time we arrived after midnight so it was hard to get our bearings)

Nothing it was in horrible condition. Disgusting I was not able to stay not ever hours because of the dirt I found on the boat. Almost vomited...
You should thoroughly clean the whole pisshole of yours

Nothing. The boat was located in the pier away from all the facilities. It is a very small boat
We had booked this boat for 5 of us. The boat cannot accommodate more than 2 people. All the information and photos given are not true although the picture of the boat Vega 2 is the right one. The boat had no electricity and the Captain was not willing to help other than pointing me to the info map. Very poorly maintained, the boat was dirty and not suitable for stay. Definitely not for 5 people.
They have cheated us of the money and I would not recommend anyone to stay on this boat.
After 1 hour when there was no help forthcoming, we had to book a new hotel and move out of the boat. We lost all our money.
9.0 / 10.0
Exciting and unusual. You really sleep inside a small floating boat.
It's not comfortable, but it's not meant to be. A good choice if you're looking for a camping-like adventure rather than a luxurious stay.
For €17 I thought it was a great experience.
When I asked if it was possible to store my luggage a few hours before check-in, the host said I could do so for free if I gave them a 10-star review (or pay €30 extra). It's unprincipled to ask the guest for a review before the stay takes place.

Location is fine as on the waterfront
Dirty with small spaces, bed size is narrow , the layout was totally different as mentioned by Booking.com! So dissatisfied
6.0 / 10.0
I loved the location and being on a boat was very relaxing. Beautiful to wake up to the views of the harbour and to be gently rocked to sleep by the motion of the waves.
Some deep cleaning was in order as there was a lot of dust in many of the nooks and crannies. Also, it would have been good if the solar lights had been fully charged.

Location was excellent, felt very safe and was central to many points of interest.
Also, the Boat House had excellent facilities. They were extremely clean and warm and there was the added benefit of free access to a washing machine and drier. If you can find another boat to stay on at this location, you will not be disappointed with these facilities.
The boat was filthy. What I mean by filthy is just that - filthy! "Captain" Christian does not clean this boat - ever! You have to make your own bed upon arrival and strip it upon departure - this is not really an issue as the price point is so low - but you realise that this is ALL Christian does. He quite simply picks up the dirty washing and dumps the clean washing on the beds. It is disgustingly filthy - no cleaning takes place.
I double checked that the boat would be warm, which given the month of travel is understandable, and Christian quite clearly states that you can have the boat like a "sauna". What he actually meant was that he would provide you with a tiny blow heater which gave off about the same heat as a dog breathing on your face. Condensation on all the walls due to how cold it was, and it was freezing. It was akin to sleeping outdoors without a tent.
Run down, lack of care and cleanliness. Such a shame as this could be a little gem. To top it all off, Christian is "available" 24 hours a day for all your needs - unless of course you leave your key in the boathouse (albeit stupidly on our behalf), which locks behind you - and you call him at 22:00 (I am slightly ashamed of this late night intrusion). I asked if I could perhaps have the code to regain entry to the boathouse and Christian explained that he was sleeping and there was nothing he could do. Not quite 24 hours availability is it? Luckily a lovely young man was popping his bike in for storage and he very graciously 'buzzed' us back in.
My only advice to anyone choosing to stay, is please don't. I know it is cheap, but goodness, a bit of elbow grease is always free, there is no need to let something get this filthy.

The host was responsive with the information regarding our stay. Until I relayed on the state of the place to which I was told “boat life isn’t for everyone one”
Booked for 2 night for myself and my child - something different. Wouldn’t even let my dog stay there!
The boat smelled of smoke.
There were crisp crumbs all over the beds and the floor looks like it has never been hoovered. There were 2 small heaters plugged in to extension cables and didn’t look very safe. (I actually unplugged themThe small kitchen area had an opened bag of hot chocolate which the powder was everywhere and there were dirty cup rings on the surfaces. Place was grim.
There were clean sheets and a towel on the bed, I didn’t bother to have a look at them or touch them.
Forgot to take pics as just wanted to get out of there as fast as I could.
Please save yourself the hassle and book somewhere else. Shame because if they gave it a deep clean it would be lovely.

Location
Boat was dirty.
No bedding for smelling duvets which had stains and blood on them.
1 small heater which you can't have on full as it smells like it's going to set on fire. Bed cushions were so thin we felt like we'd slept on concrete.
Wires everywhere. We checked out after one night and paid to stay elsewhere on our second. There's 2 boats both with the same key safe and number and we'd got on the wrong one and came back to a guy sat on the boat.

Good things:
- The price compared to other places is ok.
- Owner is communicative in the chat.
- Boat location is exceptional with beautiful views, also very well connected to the rest of the city.
- Shower + bathrooms available in a decent conditions outside the boat.
- Electric system in the boat is VERY bad, lights are camping lamps barely working & a christmas decoration lights, boat lights does not work at all, disapointing.
- Hygiene and cleaning is disgusting, boat is not organized, it's a total dirty mess in all means, blankets were EXTREAMLY dirty including a big hole in it, very thin considering the weather of Sweden, & more when you sleep over frozen water, same as pillows, we even found strangers hair in bed, VERY disgusting, 0/10
- There is no decent heating, the only one available is a little electric fan with two levels & the second level was broken & smells to burn.
We froze during night, I consider this a health danger to sleep in these conditions, if you can sleep of course because we couldn't.
- This is not a bad point if you are less than 170 cm but if you are taller than that, you ll barely fit & you should be all time crouched down which is painful.

Beliggenheden
Vi frøs. Der var en lille elovn, der overhovedet ikke kunne varme skibet op. Vi måtte hænge tæpper op og afgrænse skibet til det midterst rum for at kunne holde varmen.
Der var ekstrem rodet i skibet

Bra läge i centrala Göteborg.
Det värsta va att båten inte verkade ha blivit städad på månader- när vi kommer in är det kiss på toakanten, torkar av den med toapapper och pappret blir SVART🤢. Värt att nämna är att någon kommer få sova med huvudet precis bredvid den snuskiga toan. Men vi kunde inte sova så mycket för ohyran som bet oss i sängen hela natten. (Målning av båten under vår vistelse, regnade in, droppade färg in från taket, osmidig inceckning, inget fungerande lås på dörren då dörren va sönder och endast satt ihop med en bit silvertejp). Vi stannade 1 av 3 bokade nätter, ingen återbetalning eller förklaring från ägaren, känns som en scam. Skulle inte ens bo här om jag fick betalt för det. Hoppas att ingen annan behöver vara med om det här.

Guter Standort
Sehr dreckig und unordentlich, viel kleiner als es auf den Bildern aussieht (für 2 Personen schon eher zu eng), war in der Nacht unglaublich kalt und die Heizlampe hat nicht funktioniert, hat sehr aus dem WC gestunken

Locatie.
Bij aankomst werden we direct geconfronteerd met een ondraaglijke stank van urine en ontlasting door de hele boot. Het toilet zat nog vol en lag praktisch naast het bed, waardoor je met je hoofd letterlijk bijna in het toilet lag. De vloer was smerig en bezaaid met haren, alles plakte, er was duidelijk niet schoongemaakt en overal lag troep. Het beddengoed had vieze vlekken en gaf een zeer onhygiënische indruk.
Het verblijf was zo afschuwelijk dat we meteen hebben besloten hier niet te overnachten. Ondanks dit alles konden we geen enkele tegemoetkoming of zelfs maar excuses van de eigenaar krijgen.
De enige positieve noot is dat de locatie prima is als je met de auto reist, maar dat weegt absoluut niet op tegen de erbarmelijke staat van de accommodatie. Bespaart u de moeite en boek hier vooral niet, het was werkelijk verschrikkelijk.

Nada.
El barco estaba muy sucio y en mal estado. Hubo un percance con la limpieza y llegó más tarde de nuestra entrada, no obstante, solo quitaron las sábanas sucias, nos dejaron las nuevas sobre la cama para que las colocáramos nosotras y dejaron la basura de los huéspedes anteriores. El anfitrión fue muy impertinente, al decirle que la cama no estaba hecha y que la basura no era nuestra nos dijo textualmente “por 30€ te puedes hacer tú la cama y deja la basura en el muelle”. Tampoco nos dejó funda para la almohada. Hacía muchísimo frío dentro, los calefactores no funcionaban. En definitiva, el barco no cuenta con lo esencial, comprendo que es barato pero prefiero pagar un poco más y tener unos servicios mínimo. EVITA QUEDARTE EN ESTE ALOJAMIENTO.

Leider gar nichts. Es war so schlimm, dass wir woanders übernachtet haben
Fur den Preis haben wir eine einfache Unterkunft erwartet. Leider war Hygiene, Sicherheit, Sauberkeit, Ausstattung nicht im kleinsten Maß vorhanden.

La proximité avec la vieille ville
Scandaleux : bateau totalement vêtuste, qui fuit, évier sale, porte d’entrée qui tient avec du scotch, les lampes ne fonctionnaient pas à part un néon (voir photos). Le propriétaire difficilement joignable.

La posizione è stata perfetta
Le foto non sono assolutamente realistiche alla situazione. La barca è molto data, non molto pulita, non è vero che ha l’aria condizionata, poco curata e molto disordinata.

L emplacement est génial difficile de faire mieux, le coté fun d etre sur un bateau et l acces a la capitainerie pour les douches et toilettes.
Le confort du matelas est bien pour une nuit pas plus pour moi. C est petit on ne peut pas se mettre debout.. c est normal c est un bateau.

Niks.
Alles niet, de waarheid stroopte niet met het werkelijke plaatje, de vertalingen waren erg slecht. Zat totaal niet goed in elkaar. Van een woonboot was al helemaal geen sprake. Het was niet veilig! Geen aanlegsteiger je moest over de rand klimmen om aan boord te gaan, de ingang zat met ductape bevestigd. Heb mijn klachten bij booking neergelegd samen met foto’s, jullie wilden hier geen antwoord opgeven, en van geld terug is al helemaal geen sprake. Toen ik jullie meerdere keren probeerde te bellen werd er niet opgenomen, de volgende ochtend kreeg ik een mailtje dat je aan het werk was! Dit is de slechtste ervaring die ik heb meegemaakt tot nu toe.

Je to urcite velice dobrodružné. Na lodi bylo pohodlí i teplo. Komunikace s majitelem byla na vynikající úrovni. Loď je na skvělém , klidném místě v blízkosti centra města. V lodi je čisto, instrukce jsou jednoduché, snadno pochopitelné a přehledně uspořádané.
Neni nic, co by se dalo vytknout.

Proximité du centre-ville.
La cuisine était très sale, l’évier était plein de moisissures ( j’ai des photos si vous voulez), les assiettes sales, les couverts sales (j’ai aussi des photos). La cuisine n’était pas alimentée en gaz, il n’y avait aucune casserole et aucune poêle. Il était donc impossible de cuisiner. L’accès au bâtiment pour faire la vaisselle était impossible.

La posizione ottima, a 5 minuti dalla stazione
La stanza era fredda, la stufetta non scaldava abbastanza. Inoltre la barca era abbastanza sporca e problema abbastanza grave, il wc (presente all’interno della barca ma non utilizzabile) era sporco di urina dei precedenti ospiti, e ciò emanava un odore terrificante.

Läget var helt perfekt för en kväll på stan. Området var lugnt och det var lätt att hitta parkering i närheten. Hela centrala Göteborg ligger inom bekvämt gångavstånd.
Det var lite fuktigt och kallt på natten. Visserligen hade vi inte förväntat oss något annat på en båt, men kanske lite fuktigare än vi trott ändå. Det var dessutom väldigt trångt. Vi hade bokat för fem personer, men i slutänden bodde bara två på båten och det var tur. Jag skulle inte säga att man man vara mer än två vuxna och ev ett par små barn.
