LatviaThe battery light sources could be better and give more light.
Its perfect for what it is. If you know what you are booking, then the fact there is no electricity and running water don’t matter much. It’s one of a kind experience:)

United States of AmericaWe learned to watch our heads—the ceiling is low.
We couldn’t have enjoyed our two-night stay more!! Guests should be prepared for a rudimentary stay in a boathouse. This is not a hotel. But the air, the view, the lake, the forest and the town yield huge rewards.

Denmark(Should not be taken as outright criticism, just thinks to note/keep in mind) - We were informed that it would be possible to make tea and/or coffee in the room, but we looked for those facilities without luck. Maybe they were there, but we did not bother calling and asking for them, as they were not that necessary. So maybe it was there, but kept out of sight. - We accidentally dropped something in the water, when climbing aboard the boat, and I tried reaching it from dry land, but with that failing, I was about to jump in, when I noticed the ladder. I put it into the water and noticed that it sunk quite deep into the water, once I put weight on it. I then stepped on the lake bed, just to fall in some 30 cm (at least) deeper through the mud. I did not dare risk falling in any deeper and aborted the mission. Had I just jumped in, thinking it was not that deep (it was only 2-3 meters out from the shore), it might not have been that pretty. It would be nice with a forewarning that the lake bed is deeper than it might appear. Of course, maybe this is something most people should know is a possibility, but I have not experienced it to the same extent with other lakes, so just for safety, a notification would be nice. - The place is not meant for tall people. I managed to have a great time there with my 2 meters, but it might not be comfortable for multiple nights there. - I believe that the listing states that it has toilet/bathing facilities. Toilet, yes, but if you want to shower/bathe, you will have to jump into the river some 5-10 min walk from the house.
The lake house was absolutely amazing. The host was fantastic and very helpful, and in case you were wondering, she speaks perfect English. She was absolutely lovely and helped us out, when we were checking out, as our car battery had died out. Within 10 minutes of calling her, a car had arrived to help us out free of charge. The location is quite great with everything in Aluksne being within walking distance and the view from the room was quite brilliant. The boat was a nice touch and was certainly an experience for us - none of us had been out rowing before. Everything was lovely and there is nothing bad really to say about it. What you find in the negative section should therefore not be taken as criticism.

LatviaThere is no electricity in the accommodation and this was not mentioned in the description. Hence, no heating, no charging of mobile devices
Access to the boat was great
