Disappointing not likely to return.
Pros:

The price and location to allow me to get to the event I had travelled for. The owner was friendly.

Cons:

There was no kettle, or tv in the room. There was a smell like old smoke in the room, which had lingered on my clothing. It did lack cleanliness and I was surprised to have to use what appeared the family kitchen to make up my porridge pot - but as mentioned, the owner was friendly and offered me a cup of tea.

Utterly disgusting !
Pros:

There is nothing to like here, it shouldn’t be on here, it’s just a house these people are renting out a bedroom to anyone it seems!

Cons:

This shouldn’t be on booking.com, it’s disgrace. Hostess called me to ask if I’m in as someone is trying to check in?? Not allowed to use the kitchen area, which having a peek at is utterly disgusting and stinks. Shared bathroom, no problem, doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned for months. Place is smelly, wouldn’t Out my worst enemy in this shit hole.

Horrible experience and extremely Bad property
Pros:

One of the worst ever Host . We booked twin room when we get there she said the room was also sold and it was mistake which was lie as she sold that room to someone else . She gave us another room and asked to pay extra cash . In the end we didn’t even stay there and left . Never again and I would not recommend to anyone . Please do not waste your money for this property and check all the review before book this house and it’s not a hotel it’s a house .

Cons:

Nothing The host was extremely bad and not helpful at all . Really bad experience we have Paid £90 and she wanted more money ( CASH ). It was 10pm No Humanity .

Price is way too high for essentially couch surfing
Cons:

The room had no way of locking it, shared bathroom, you could hear all other rooms and the floor. TV had no socket close by to connect it. Drawers were already full of stuff from the owners. The stool to sit on the room was damaged and unstable.

Bad
Pros:

Nothing. Someone else asleep in our triple room. Given a double bed between two Males who were in the area for work and didnt know each other. Very embarrassing and uncomfortable.

Cons:

Wrong room. Dirty. Communal areas well lived in, shoes splayed everywhere in the stair well. No effort made for guests what so ever
