My landlady refers to me as her boarder whilst I insist that I am her lodger.

A boarder normally has meals provided by the landlady whereas a lodger just uses a room.

As long as they pay the rent: No Difference!
I guess: Boarder mostly includes food, lodger only lodging.

a boarder : a student at a school who sleeps and eats there and only goes home during school holidays
a lodger (or roomer): someone who pays for a place to sleep, and usually for meals, in someone else's house

Lodger is the British way of saying it, but they both mean the same.

Older advertising signs would often refer to "Room & Board" or "Board & lodgings"
I don't have a dictionary to hand for a precise definition, but the reality is that the provision of "facilities" such as meals constitutes the "board" part.
Think "boarding school" not "lodging school"
And of course, when a pirate ship came alongside you were repelling those trying to get on board, not those trying to get a free meal!

If a pirate ship comes alongside, don't shout "Standby to repel lodgers".
