- Sarah (10/5): Clean. Quiet. Great location. - Clean. Quiet. Great location. The kitchen is very small. It is not possible to eat there and every time you need to take your food inside your room.
- Mika (1/5): Katastrophal - Das plötzlich fremde Männer mit dort schlafen sollten ! Dreckig Urin Geruch in den Betten, kein Bett frisch bezogen überall dreck und fettige Reste am kleben.
Auf einmal sollten andere Männer mit in der Unterkunft nächtigen was ich verneinte wir sind in ein Hotel gegangen aber die vermieterin will uns kein Geld zurück erstatten genau so wie booking.com jetzt haben wir 800€ verloren und richtig viel Stress im Urlaub gehabt ! Definitiv nicht zu empfehlen

- vendemia (10/5): - It was very comfortable and clean. Would definitely come back
- Shaik (10/5): -
- Rodrigo (5/5): Boa localização, cozinha muito suja, café da manhã muito fraco e casa de banho péssima - A cama era confortável, e o ar condicionado funcionava Casa de banho era partilhada, não era como na imagem, fizeram divisórias para quem toma banho e para quem utiliza o vaso sanitário isso tudo dentro de uma casa de banho minúscula, sem contar que é apenas 1 casa de banho para mais de 6 pessoas usarem

- dorina (6/5): - The room was nice and clean including facilities that were mentioned in the advertisement. There was a toilet blockage in the morning and we couldn't use the toilet
The kitchen was a bit messy.
We were not happy as we had to pay a £40 parking charge that was indicated as free on booking.com website.
Just to mention that this is not a complain- it's just some aspects for the host to improve. Generally we had a good stay. Thanks
- michael (8/5): -
- Lorena (7/5): The hostess was very kind and polite, but I think she should clean the kitchen and the shower better. - Very good location and close to the US embassy. My room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The room is in a building that I believe is illegal to rent out. The kitchen was extremely dirty, and when I arrived, my room was still a mess. The host asked me to wait a few minutes while she cleaned.
- Colin (1/5): - The bed was uncomfortable. The place wasn’t clean. The furniture was old, not very nice at all.
- Ben (10/5): - The host was friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any of my queries.
The space was clean and cosy and I was particularly happy with the comfort of the bed.
- Anthony (6/5): Very clean, quiet & chilled - I was basic but clean & warm with a decent shower. Sleeping in bunk bed was strange at first but actually a comfortable bed
- Maryam (10/5): - Extremely clean and a spacious room with all facilities available
- Marie-Pierre (7/5): -
- Kamila (10/5): - Everything was great, the location was also great, everything was close. The lady was very nice, helpful and great. The room and other facilities were clean. Thank you for a pleasant stay, we will definitely come back again Nothing, everything was fine
- Kelly Bocanegra González (7/5): - La ubicación es buena.
- Marina (8/5): - La proximité des transports
La disponibilité de l'hôte Cher pour ce que c'était...
- B (1/5): A disaster - 0/10 — THE MOST DISTURBING, MISLEADING AND HOSTILE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
What I encountered was nothing like the listing, and the host’s behaviour was so aggressive and intimidating that I felt unsafe almost immediately.
MISLEADING LISTING + POSSIBLY ARTIFICIAL PHOTOS
The photos looked unnaturally polished and did not resemble the real property in any way. What I found was:
< A cramped room with no private bathroom or kitchen, despite the listing heavily implying otherwise
< A shared bathroom divided with flimsy wooden panels, nothing like the modern bathroom shown online
< A “kitchen” shared with several strangers, covered in personal-use stickers and showing clear neglect
< “Breakfast” reduced to a few leftover items
Other guests echoed the same issues:
< “Annonce mensongère” (misleading listing)
< “Filthy kitchen… three rented rooms in one tiny flat”
< “Wardrobe locked with chains instead of usable storage”
The contrast between the photos and reality was so extreme that it raised serious doubts about how representative the images truly were.
EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE HOST: MARZIEH ANSARI,THE MOST SHOCKING PART
The host’s behaviour was openly hostile from the very beginning:
< Keys thrown on the ground instead of being handed over
< Shouting at us over normal questions
< Repeating “I AM THE BOSS HERE” aggressively
< Calling me “insane” for simply adding one more guest
< Demanding an undeclared £20 cash “penalty” for selecting one person instead of two in a double room
< Threatening to call the police over ordinary, harmless requests
Many other guests reported the same pattern: shouting, accusations, threats, and being spoken to with hostility.
FEELING UNSAFE + HOSTILITY EVEN AFTER LEAVING
Even after leaving the room cleaner than we found it, the aggressive messages continued. The final message I received stated:
< “Your stuff is going to fly out of the balcony.
- Saja (7/5): - Higenetic Staff rude attitude
- 辛 (10/5): -
- Claire (5/5): - Lovely welcoming host, perfect location. Very dated. Bed was extremely uncomfortable, with new decor and a new mattress would’ve been perfect.
- Adriel (10/5): -
- Wendy (6/5): The room was very basic but comfortable, we only stayed one night so it was adequate for our needs - The lady that welcomed us was fantastic and very helpful We thought that the bedroom and rooms available would have benefitted from a fresh coat of paint and general maintenance.
- Maryam (10/5): Great location and clean - It was spotless. Near London Eye. The room was quite and comfy. The apartment was in the first floor with no lift.
- Silvia (10/5): -
- Ángela (4/5): Confuso - La ubicación y habitación y baño limpio En ningún momento al pagar por este alojamiento puedes ver de manera detallada las condiciones reales, el baño era compartido, siendo incómodo ya que la ducha y el vater estan separados por puertas, por lo que puede haber mas de una persona dentro de la misma habitación, no está mal pero pienso que deberías saber en todo momento por lo que estás pagando, hay millones de opciones y creo que deberías ser libre de elegir si quieres compartir o no. La casera fue amable pero tampoco te dice en ningún momento que ella también vive allí, por lo demás todo bien.

- antonella (6/5): - La posizione La colazione, scarsa
- Garbutt (10/5): - Great location . Reasonable price and parking
- Jacki (10/5): Clean. Quite. Good location. - All good I didn’t like that I needed to remove my shoes.
- Amelia (6/5): -
- S (4/5): - Ella era amable. Que no cumplía con lo que ponía,el desayuno incluido,era darnos un poco de cereales,y unas tostadas,todo para hacer. Encima con una cámara. Eso sin contar,que pone que tiene el baño privado,pero no lo tiene,es compartido.
- Christine (4/5): Disappointing!! The landlord even threatens to block me! - N/A. I want to make a complain regarding this property which includes a separate parking fee. I paid £20 each night total of £40 for the 2 night stay as advised by the landlord. Unfortunately we received a PARKING CHARGE NOTICE due to illegal parking without permit in the property. I liaise this issue to the landlord, made an appeal unfortunately it was not accepted and I am asking to have a refund instead as I paid in cash. Unfortunately, the landlord is threatening to block me and will not cooperate even after sending all the documents and evidences needed for the penalty.

- jp wob (7/5): - Great host , arrived late due to trains ahead totally understood. Room was clean conftable and es excellent location.
- Leonardo (7/5): - Confortable room, good location overall, clean bathroom and good shower Breakfast, could have more options
- Balwant (9/5): -
- vivienne (2/5): Absolutely disgusting they should never be legal to rent it out - The shower was hot Everything I would keep a dog in there how can you say that it legal for 3 people to use the bathroom at once cos the corned of
- Jorg (7/5): - It’s a shared flat
It’s a shared bathroom :-(
WiFi not working :-(
- Nicole (1/5): Wir haben für den Preis etwas besseres erwartet! Letzte Absteige - Man war in 20 Minuten im Stadtzentrum. Die Ausstattung war komplett veraltet, die möbelwackelig und kaputt, wird unbequem, Gemeinschafts Bad nicht abschließbar, Lärm in der Nacht, die Besitzerin hat während unserer Abwesenheit mit einem Zweitschlüssel das Zimmer betreten und die Unterkunft wurde bei Booking mit Frühstück beschrieben, es stand eine Flasche Milch im Kühlschrank, altes Brot lag in der Küche und zwei Müslisorten standen bereit zum selber Frühstück machen,
Auch von Gemeinschafts Bad stand nichts in der Beschreibung
- Hammad (9/5): - Overall Good to Live
- Isabelle (9/5): Foi muito bom! - Tranquilidade e localização impecável Mudaria alguns detalhes muito pontuais apenas das colchas de camas amassadas.
- Wolfgang (4/5): Enttäuschend - selbst für den Preis passt die Leistung nicht - Wir wurden freundlich empfangen, die Vermieterin war bemüht, die Kommunikation verlief reibungslos. Es stand in der Beschreibung nichts davon, dass wir uns das Badezimmer mit 6 anderen Mieter*innen teilen müssen, genauso wenig wie Frühstück inbegriffen in dem Fall so auszulegen ist, dass das Frühstück selbst zuzubereiten ist. In der Küche wollte man am besten nichts anfassen. Es hat alles geklebt. Wir haben es nicht gewagt, die für das Frühstück zur Verfügung gestellten Lebensmittel zu essen, oder mit der nach Reinigung schreienden Maschine Kaffee zuzubereiten. Das Badezimmer und Klo war mehr schlecht als recht. Klein, verwinkelt, das Klo reparaturbedürftig und für die gemeinsame Nutzung von 8 Mieter*innen viel zu klein. Von der Hygiene allgemein will ich gar nicht mehr sprechen. Es war ein Reinfall

- Екатерина Филонова (3/5): -
- Silvia Berenice (10/5): Excelente! Cómodo! - Estaba muy limpio, muy céntrico, y cómodo. Todo estuvo excelente! Disfruté mucho!
- Justyna (7/5): Dobra baza wypadowa - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja (2 min od przystanku autobusowego) i przemiła Gospodyni. Zameldowanie i samodzielne wymeldowanie bezproblemowe. Codziennie świeże składniki do przygotowania sobie śniadania. Pokój bardzo dobrze sprawdza się jako baza wypadowa na zwiedzanie Londynu. Niestety w mieszkaniu jest bardzo brudno, zwłaszcza w kuchni. Łazienka niestety nie wygląda jak na zdjęciach - jest przerobiona na osobną ubikację i prysznic, w których jest bardzo ciasno.
- Jean (1/5): Awful was only there about 30 mins it’s a disgrace - Nothing we didn’t stay she told us to leave, & it is a shared kitchen and toilet which is not mentioned at all on this site Didn’t like anything was told to leave or she would get the police you need to get this advertised properly it says nothing of shared kitchen & bathroom
- Peter (6/5): Not bad for the price - The bed was comfortable. Unlike the booking page stated, there is no private kitchen. There is a kitchen that's shared between like 6 guests. The shared bathroom was okay but a little too busy.

- Kaewta (7/5): -

- Maria (10/5): I have a quiet and comfortable stay and will definitely choose it again when I travel back to london. - The Hosts is very accommodating and kind.
- John (2/5): My experience at the accommodation was absolutely terrible 😣 - There’s nothing to like about the property. Everything was rubbish, right from the person that started contacting me the day we were to arrive for the accommodation, she was very cheeky, we noticed she also lived in one of the room in the building, she asked us to pull our shoes before we can come inside 🙄, the bedsheets were dirty, there were biscuits crumbles on the bed, at a point I started coughing.
The mattress was on a wooden bed base on the floor, without bed frame, also the size of the mattress is smaller than the wooden base, thereby making a significant part of it as hazard. The second bed wasn’t a proper bed with mattress, at a point we don’t have option, because we couldn’t get another accommodation nearby, we where just praying for the next day so we can leave, we couldn’t sleep.
- Julio (9/5): -
- Paula (1/5): - Não tinha wc privado Não tinha breakfast só tinha cereais sem leite
- Ana (8/5): A place to crash - It served the purpose. Going to a music event and both willing to travel back the same night. An ideal place to crash. Lin the ad it wasn’t saying that the host lived in the property

- Edison (8/5): -
- Estelle (5/5): - Rien sauf avoir un lit pour dormir !!! Très mauvais accueil de l'occupante des lieux, impossible de communiquer avec elle , elle refusait ma proposition de traduction en anglais français, le ménage n'était pas fait à notre arrivée à 19h50, elle nous a demandé de sortir pour le faire et il n'y avait presque rien pour manger au petit déjeuner qui était soit disant compris quelques oeufs, pain et confiture. très décevant.

- Abu Nasar Md Anowarul (1/5): The host was very unprofessional, lacks minimal courtesy and very rude. -

- Antony (10/5): -
- Adél (3/5): Disappointing apartment - The bed was comfortable. In the fridge there were eggs and jam etc as shown in the ad. It was advertised as "having our own apartment" and "having our own private kitchen and bathroom", but instead there were three bedrooms in the apartment and we shared the kitchen and the bathroom. We did not expect that based on the advertisement on booking. There were around 10 people at the same time in the apartment. Also, the bathroom did not look like the pictures at all.
- Liliane (7/5): - Des magasins à proximité ainsi que les transports! On a payé pour un petite déjeuner + le repas compris mais on devait nous même tout faire! Cette formule nous permet juste d’avoir accès au ustensiles de cuisine, et nous devons nous même faire les courses pour le déjeuner et dîner ! On ne nous signale pas qu’il partage le séjour avec 2 autres familles (ce qui engendre certains vol, mauvaise cohabitation et désordre) ce qui n’est pas agréable!
Chaîne de télévision très limitée ( rien pour les enfants )
Propriété très accueillante !
