One of the best Booking experiences :-) the room was comfortable, quiet and clean, the breakfast was delicious, the owners are very kind.

Eva Czech Republic

Friendly hosts and great breakfast. Unique and peaceful experience for staying in Brugge.

Coghill05 United Kingdom

The hosts were very very friendly, breakfast was phenomenal with made to order eggs and fresh fruit salad (amongst the normal fixings). The beds were super comfy and everything was sparkly clean. It took less than 10 minutes to walk to the location from the train station, so it is totally doable even with luggage. It takes about 15 min by foot to the city center but the first sights can be reached after a short 5 min stroll. It was a fantastic stay.

Isabel Germany

Great person holding the barge, very kind, clean and singular location, perfect breakfast also.

Demus France

Everything was great. And the Mr. Was very helpful and nice

Mohamad Lebanon

Location was great and hosts were lovely. A lovely option for Bruge and walking distance to the Christmas markets in the centre of the city (10 mins). Rooms small but would expect that given it’s on a boat. Lovely breakfast included.

Chloe Ireland

On the water in excellent position to explore Bruges.Friendly hosts.

William United Kingdom

Allround excellent. Immaculately clean, superb breakfast, The owners, Kris and Patsie, were great hosts, very friendly. It was just like staying at a good friends house, or boat!!

Host review score
Kris and Patsie
After a hectic life in ICT and physical education, Kris and Patsie decided to change course and offer relaxing barge cruises in Belgium and France on their live-abord hotelship Johanna in summer. During winter season, the rooms are available for B&B in Bruges. We both love meeting new people and sharing information, having a pleasant chat or just see that our guests are happy.
Being moored on the canal just outside the city center of Bruges, this is one of the most quiet areas to stay. In the morning you may be woken by quacking ducks swimming beneath the portholes. Apart from the historic city of Bruges at walking distance from the schip, Damme and Sluis are at cycling distance (6 and 15km) along the canal. Even the Belgian coast is worth a visit, with Ostend at 25km, or the Belle Epoque village of De Haan and the mondaine city of Knokke with its many modern art galleries, golf course and "The Zwin" nature reserve.
