Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- LovingtherestaurantsColchester, UK46 contributionsA really lovely stay and would highly recommend staying at the Boating Station to everyone. We stayed for two nights early May Bank Holiday in the Garden Room and it's such a lovely room, very very clean with everything you need for your B&B self catering stay. It's so peaceful and relaxing with a beautiful view of the river and wildlife and eating our breakfast both mornings, we were joined by Meme the gorgeous and very friendly resident dog ❤️ We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived in the carpark, where we met Steve, who was really friendly also very informative and helpful, especially advising us to check the Bath version of ULEZ and the daily charge, so we are not caught out with a hefty bill at home, thankfully we were not eligible according to GOV website. We were also told about the boat trip you can have into Bath from the wooden boarding platform at the Boating Station, that leaves at 9:30 and free of charge (one way only) which was a lovely start to our last day in Bath. Would 100% return here when we get the chance, a lovely 20-25 min walk from the City, back to peace and tranquility of the river. Thank you Bath Boating Station for a very lovely stay indeed ❤️Written 7 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ann ATaunton, UK35 contributionsWe were celebrating a family significant birthday and wanted something different in Bath to the usual hotels and B&B's. I stumbled across the website for Bath Narrowboats and that they offer Boutique B&B on their barges. We stayed for 1 night on Top Dollar and it was fantastic, the décor and space were exactly what we were looking for and it was most certainly something we were looking for. The facilities were good although it would have been nice to have had a dishwasher, but that really wasn't an issue and certainly in places the boat looked a little tired i.e. end of season scuffed paintwork but again that didn't detract from our experience. The staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough for us and were mortified that we hadn't told them sooner we had experienced an issue with both toilets, that was our fault and not theirs as I am sure they would have rectified sooner had we told them. I would recommend this company and would use them again. However having seen some of the other postings this does come with the healthcheck that we did only stay for one evening.Written 17 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CarlshirleyNorthampton, UK712 contributionsThis was a weeks hire of a canal narrow boat.
We collected the boat on the Saturday and immediately had several faults pointed out to us.
During the next few days we found quite a few more!
The main ones for me were the gas running out on day 2, the dirty shoddy appearance of the boat, and no partial return of the fuel deposit.
The full list has been sent to the MD of the company to comment on and hopefully offer some compensation.
He has allegedly visited, reprimanded the staff, suggested retraining, and refunded all the fuel deposit.
On a plus side, I personally found the double bed to be very comfortable.
Whatever happens now should make things better for future customers.Written 28 August 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
