Update: we were contacted and they have rectified our concerns. Nice to deal with a company that cares about their customer's experience. We will be back and will recommend this to anyone who wants to be pampered.

Best massage I've ever had. Really luxury amenities. Clean and relaxing. It's on an old boat completely modified. 4 floors.

Down fall was we opted out of using the facilities which... plus

Visited the spa after 6 p.m. on a Thursday because of the reduced price and it turned out to be the best thing ever. Had a delicious Salade Niçoise for dinner with a refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail and watched the sun set behind Montreal's skyline. After dark, the outdoor pool area lit up in blue and green colors. The steam room and jacuzzis made that the most relaxing evening I've had in... plus

Rude, obnoxious expensive service with huge lines. Even when you book your services weeks in advance and stand in line for 30 minutes despite paying in advance, they will still refuse you service on the day of. No parking, dirty locker room, staff that understand neither English nor French, they will send unqualified people to talk you out.

Amazing service. Clean environment. Easily spend half a day here alone, with friends or significant other!

I was surprised with the Calypso Package for my birthday. It was such a lovely introduction to this spa and I'm already planning on coming back!

When you arrive you're handed a bathrobe, towel, and a key bracelet for your locker. These are the only things you'll really need to take around with you (except for maybe a book). The facilities themselves are well designed and very clean. The female... plus

What can I say everything was exceptional, from the fragrances lingering in the reception and waiting area to the plush robes. I fell in love with Bota Bota today, had my first ever relaxation massage with Chantal. AH-MAZING! Professional and thorough, she honoured my boundaries of only the waist up.
I went in especially stressed and tense, I feel like a different person. Already thinking about... plus

Ok, I only participated in the water circuit, it was relaxing to a degree, although not the highlight of my stay. The food was beyond divine and the service that came with it. However, halfway through my stay they closed the jacuzzi on the 2nd floor so they could clean it so it wasn't possible for me to use which I thought was kind of annoying but understandable.

To be honest I just expected... plus

This is a great spa experience to try - a spa on a boat! Bota Bota was recommended to me by the Montreal CM and I'm glad I decided to check it out. Located in Old Montreal, it's sleek and modern yet inviting design/decor will keep you coming back.

This spa is a typical spa with massage services etc, but they also have the water circuits located outside. The water circuits if you arrive before... plus

this is a really great spot. the view is for sure 10/10. i went on a monday night, there was people but not that much- it was easy to find spots to relax. the baths are great, the saunas too. the locker room is a little bit small but it's on a boat so i guess that it is normal. only thing i didn't like is that they have a place where they have hublots and little beds, but the restaurant/bar/... plus

I regularly visit to enjoy the water cycle. Great special on certain week nights where you get the water cycle from 6pm-close for $30+tax. Highly worthwhile. While some of the staff are great, others fail to understand the concept of "active listening", like when you ask how everything was, and I say "great, but my keypass stopped working so I couldn't take a shower" then being told moments... plus

Must-try experience: go to Bota Bota during a snow storm.

The outdoor hot tub in conjunction with -10c temperatures, snow blowing sideways and a view of the Old Port

Gotta give this place 5 stars because of my experience.

A spa on a boat! What more could you ask for? I did the water circuit during the pre11am deal for $35 (also available after 6pm mon -thurs) A very relaxing experience however the entire indoor area was a silent zone so not the best place to go with friends. Also going on one of the coldest weekends in Montreal was not the best idea considering you have to walk down two flights of metal stairs... plus

I had never visited Bota Bota before and had high hopes based on word of mouth. I was not disappointed.

Located in the heart of Montreal's Old Port , the chic design and stylish decor made for a relaxing afternoon. My wife and I opted for the water circuit which includes sauna access, outdoor spas (4 seasons), steam room, and pleanty of chill zones. With the the water circuit, you are assigned... plus

Fabulous. My wife is expecting and we came over the holidays to relax. When we got there it was pretty booked but we worked a reservation in for later that week. The staff was really nice and courteous.

The spa is beautiful. Very modern, clean, and peaceful. Most areas are quiet areas so it's easy to relax. Cold baths, steam rooms, saunas, massages, it was all wonderful. Again the staff was... plus

My boyfriend and I love this place. We've been twice to celebrate special occasions. It's got a cool vibe and the architecture is very inspiring. It's so fun to walk around in your robe, trying out all the different hot tubs overlooking the Old Port. Montreal winters can get so cold, sometimes the only way to breath some fresh winter air is from an outdoor hot tub. There's also so many great... plus

As much as I really wanted to love it, I can't say I loved my experience at Bota Bota. My boyfriend and I had come here after having only visited Scandinave Spa in the past to compare to.

CHANGING ROOMS
The changing rooms felt dark and dank. At Scandinave, facilities were bright, clean, and well equipped (cotton pads, face lotions, etc.).
At Bota however, the showers felt dirty with rusted... plus

A definite stop for any local or visitor.

One of a kind spa in a remastered boat. Wow, so fun! Imagine a cruise ship but purely spa oriented? That's BOTA BOTA.

All the staff wear bateau striped tees. If you're unsure, they will give you all the information you need. Plus the lockers have some etiquette tips.

I was only able to experience the water circuit, which claims to boost the lymphatic... plus

Beautiful beautiful beautiful spot, I've tried the Tuesday night 35$ water circuit deal a couple times: you spend 3 hours at sunset rambling around the wonderfully designed, quiet converted boat between saunas and hot tubs and pools with peaceful glorious views of the port and the oldest architecture in the city, the ducks in the water, the trees...

Only low note if you actually enjoy nordic... plus

Gorgeous spa, but the customer service experience was embarrassing. Upon arrival I was made to wait 10 minutes while the front desk woman took my credit card information. Even though I already paid online, she said she had to take down my credit card info because it was a different card than the one I used to reserve.

She then took me to the front desk of the massage area, where I quickly met... plus

Best spa day of our lives! Husband and I had the Flying Cloud package and Bota Bota did not disappoint! Here are some tips:
Arrive 30 minutes before your service to have enough time to get ready
Don't forget your own flip flops
Leave the cell phones at home in order to relax
Take a cab (we did and couldn't figure out where we'd park if we didn't)
Enjoy the lunch choices (reasonable and... plus
