Guest Reviews

• Mikołaj (1/5): 0/10 Terrible Owner - Nothing. The owner is extremely rude and very dismissive, me and my fiancé booked a hotel as well needed one because she was unwell and needed rest. We waited outside where other people had issues coming in, we called and called the owner and we got no response. The other people around say they recommend for me to just cancel the booking and find another hotel asap as my fiancé was unwell. (Keep in mind I booked the hotel on the day and cancelled within 20 minutes as we were getting no response). What I unfortunately didn't notice was that there is no cancellation allowed and the owner will charge you the full amount. I tried discussing with the owner for a refund in which he kept ignoring me and being rude through messages. Keep in mind again I booked and cancelled within 20 minutes so essentially the owner of the property just pocketed the money. I had to book another hotel nearby, the owner had no sympathy and didn't care. 0/10 service no compassion at all. I understand there's a policy but there's also decency I would understand if I booked a week in advance and on the last day I cancelled and expected all my money back that would be unreasonable. But for my situation it truly seems cold hearted, I tried explaining to the owner everything and he just didn't care and rejected me, felt like someone spat in my face.
• Selina (3/5): -
• Richard (9/5): Had a good stay close to everything car park around the corner - Good location Bedroom was overlooked, little bit noisy at times but to be expected
• Rosalie Jane (10/5): -
• Merrelien (9/5): Gast house Newquay - The property is close to the beach and everything was on a walking distance. Lovely place and lovely clean gast house . Well worth to stay with a group of people. That you got everything on walk-in distances. They don’t have parking but not for from the fast house you got parking space that is good value to park your car for not breaking bank price. Location top and you can walk to surf beach and a bigger beach on walking distance. Lovely place. Helpful people . Absolutely worthy to stay.
• Violeta (9/5): - The room was nice and clean, with a big window that we could leave open during the night to allow some fresh air in the room. We had a shared bathroom, also clean and tidy. We had a great stay. No staff, so we couldn't leave our backpacks to enjoy the morning and afternoon before check-in and after we left the room. Also the checkout time is quite early, 10am and check in is at 4pm. It would be nice to have a safety locker or something to be able to leave the stuff.
• Dean (8/5): Good value for money! Would stay again! - Lovely property , great location, Tom was very helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. Clean room. Pillows a bit hard and shower a bit dodgy but not bad!
• Marcin (10/5): Wspaniały pobyt. - Wspaniała lokalizacja, parking blisko obiektu bardzo tani. Obsługa bardzo pomocna i miła. Polecam bardzo!
• nadeem (10/5): Very clean and close to beach - Location
• Ioulia (9/5): Easy to check in using codes - Nice, clean and quiet, good value for money I wish it would be a simple shower gel in the bathroom
• Maureen (1/5): Second lowest of all the places I have stayed in Airbnb. No recommended. - No breakfast was provided. It was not mentioned that the room was up 3 flights of stairs and there was no lift. I was travelling with luggage and it was very hard for me to get my suitcase up. I am still suffering the back pain fro having to do this. No bedside light. There was a TV in the room but the remote sis not work. The mattress was soft. No tea only two packets of instant coffee provided. Bathroom was on another level. No lift and no mention of the room up 3 flights of stairs. Nothing to eat in the morning and there was a knock on my door at 19 and a man shouting at me that checkout was at 10am. Also I did not receive the code for the door in enough time and when I arrived there was no one there so I was left standing outside the door. I called the number listed but no one answered. I then checked my email and noticed that I had been sent by email that day. I was travelling that day to get there and the internet connection was very patchy. This code should have been sent a long time before as I had booked the room weeks in advance.
• Saifon (8/5): -
• Cunningham (8/5): - Lovely room! Good location. Easy check in. Could hear other guest but they wasnt overly load
• Tamas Jankovics (8/5): - Comfortable bed, great location I missed a wardrobe, not a deal breaker for me for one night.
• Andrea (9/5): - Very close to the beach. The bed was very comfortable. The kettle was not working.
• Garry (10/5): - Clean
• Humera (10/5): - Clean
• Hannah (10/5): - Very clean, easy to access all in all very good experience It was hot we wanted to open the fire door in the room but the sign said if you break the lock there will be a fine so wasn't sure if that meant we couldn't open etc needed to be clarified ie don't open door or you can open the door but don't break lock
• George (2/5): - Conveniently based to enjoy Newquay on foot. Misleading information regarding the property being per bed rather than per room. Room 1 was booked on the premise of it being for our exclusive use and instead having to share rooms with randomers. Very disappointed to be so mislead
• LUCAS (3/5): - La habitación compartida estaba completamente sucia, llena de comida por todos lados. Los otros inquilinos cocinaban y comían en la habitación compartida. Las camas no disponían de sábanas. La limpieza y orden de la habitación
• Zarina (9/5): Fantastic thank you very much! - Super location, super clean and easy to access!
• Jude (9/5): - We booked the comfort quadruple room and we found it to be spacious, clean and good value for the 4 of us. The WiFi and smart TV was also a bonus. We liked the self check in and the fact it was 30 seconds away from the cliff top overlooking the beautiful Tolcarne beach. Friendly staff
• Tatenda (10/5): Our stay was great. The staff was amazing and available to assist. - The place us central and no hustle with walking to different places No complains...
• Edwin (10/5): -
• Lynn (10/5): Great week away, weather changeable but this location and guest house delivers all you need around this budget. - Top location, parking nearby very easy and affordable. This Guest House has everything you need for this budget. Nothing not to like
• Christina (5/5): Basic but saved the day for a last minute stay -
• Katarzyna (8/5): - Very good location , close to the beach and clean room. Easy check in, nice people.
• Celnik (5/5): -
• Marta (8/5): - The room was clean, the location perfect for walking around and exploring the city, self check-in was very easy. It was a bit loud at night, music was coming from nearby.
• Rachel (9/5): Excellent stay at Tolcarne - Excellent location everything is on the doorstep Host was amazing and sent me the information for entry Everything was spotless I will book again No sugar for the coffee!
• Kezia (10/5): Good value for money - Very clean, cosy little room. The shared bathroom was also very clean and tidy. Tom was very helpful and quick with responses. It’s great that there is facilities to make a hot drink but sugar and tea would definitely be appreciated next time. It would also be great if parking permits would be issued as you have to move your car, not a negative and still a great place to stay
• anna (8/5): - Close to the beach Very loud neighbours
• Jay (8/5): Great location, great price, get what you pay for! - Great location, easy check in! The person who I rang to get the code was a bit standoff ish. I appreciate they have alot of noisy groups but and have to inform you of the rules, but it could have been communicated in a friendlier manner.
• Molly (10/5): Beautiful - Stayed for one night & it was absolutely perfect! Really helpful owner, loved the room - proper old skool nqy guest house vibe ! It was great Not much
• Joanne (9/5): Great location, fabulous property. - Clean, tidy and very comfortable. 5am karaoke by some locals 🤣
• Stuart (6/5): -
• Somasundaram (10/5): -
• Ethan (10/5): -
• Sandy (7/5): -
• Salamatu (3/5): - Clean Room is clean old and smelly bed spread and towels. Towels and bed spread looking very old, room it's looking so cheap, for price I paid noo assess to beach, if u need a quick stop and don't mind about luxury it's fine but money charged it's too much for such a place
• Alan (10/5): -
• Nadiia (8/5): not bad for a undemanding tourist, but the windows could have been washed( - Location Bedclothes and dirty windows
• Charlton (6/5): -
• Christina (6/5): -
• Karen (8/5): -
• Karen (8/5): Does what it says. Good basic accommodation - This is a no-frills self-check-in accommodation that works well. The owner is available immediately via text. Check—in was smooth. The room is basic but clean, and everything works well. There is a good shower, a comfortable bed, a working TV, a kettle, and a good location. Close to shops & beach. I even booked an extra night.
• Rosila (9/5): I’m happy to stay and relaxed - It’s convenient to the beach ang in the shops Nothing
• Jordan (2/5): Maybe fine for young people for short stay. But needs a fire escape - The location was good. I wasn’t aware we could have breakfast. I found being at the top of the house with no visable fire escape a fire hazard. A mirror in the bathroom. No bedside table in one side of our double bed.
• Peter (2/5): - Nothing Parking extremely difficult.located next to block of flats and one morning at 0300 drunk people talking outside back door and on another day was 0500 same.No shaving mirror in shower room.only 2 sachets of coffee for a 3 night stay,no hanging facility for clothes.Towels could be bigger and only one each.No drinking glasses for water.
• leslie (8/5): - Personnel ultra réactif, bonne situation géographique (proche de l'arrêt de bus) Une seule salle de bain avec les wc à l'intérieur pour tout l'étage, c'etait un peu trop juste à notre goût.
• David (8/5): Excellent customer service - Patrick and Tom showed excellent customer service, the place was kept clean and everything worked well
• Karen (8/5): Excellent pit stop in the centre of Newquay - Clean and quiet
• Karen (8/5): Excellent pitstop in the centre of Newquay - Clean and quiet
• Lettie (9/5): Superb -
• Lucy (8/5): Best hostel in Newquay - The owner Tom was very thoughtful, rang us before we arrived to make sure we knew how to check in. The room was cleaned to a high standard, the shared bathroom is cleaned daily from what I can tell. We ran into the cleaner who was very lovely and offered to change our bin for us. I thought a hostel would be very noisy but we were on the top floor and pretty much couldn't hear anyone else apart from the showers being run in the neighbouring rooms. The bed was extremely comfortable and the TV was a nice surprise. I was skeptical of a shared bathroom but it was no different to a bathroom at home it was very close to the room and we only had to wait once for someone else to finish using it, pretty much private. The location is perfect. Parking can be a nightmare. The street outside is 9-5 2 hours no return for 4 hours, so we did have to come back just to move the car around. The kettle was slightly dirty but not a major issue. Stairs could be tricky for older guests but we didn't find them bad at all.
• Woodfield (9/5): Great stay - Great location No air con or fan
• Archana (2/5): Very poor - No kettle for boiling water or tap water facility available! No common sitting area or any kitchenette provided! There was a mentally disturbed man outside the house.
• Kezia (7/5): Good - Great location. Surprisingly good shower. Although I didn’t see staff on location at all, when I messaged the property’s WhatsApp to sort something, they were very receptive and helpful. No kitchen, very bare bones hostel but you get what you pay for.
• Kumar (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is good
• Lewis (9/5): Ideal for group holiday - Easy check in and out
• Neah (3/5): Happy it was only for one night - Close to beach Boiling hot and the shower was terrible
• Kristen (9/5): Superb - Exceeded our expectations for a relatively low budget hostel like spot. Room was charming with bright bedding, high ceilings, a small table with chairs and window that opened. Bathroom down the hall was always available. Location right downtown was great. No en suite bathroom but this was expected.
• Robinson (5/5): Passable -
• Lee (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yuliia (6/5): Pleasant - The location was excellent — very central and close to everything we needed. However, we were disappointed to find out that there was no kitchen in the apartment. Despite the photos showing a small kitchen area, there was nothing apart from an electric kettle. It would have been helpful if this had been made clear in the description.

• David (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (5/5): Passable -

• Colin (3/5): We all make mistakes - The bed was comfy. No carpet on the floor, not told how to get in (by luck someone was there) and no way out in case of fire - that and 'ctv warning signs' everywhere. No soap or shower gel, filthy outside.
• Ameen (6/5): Pleasant -
• Vishaldeep (7/5): Good -
• Vikram (7/5): Good -
• Vikram (8/5): Very good -
• Lynn (7/5): Great location and good place to stay for 3 nights - Fab location, basic facilities but we knew this before we booked. We were guided by the positive reviews, you get what you pay for. Check in was fine, first time not being greeted but Tom kept us well updated and answered queries very quickly. Bed was really comfortable, shower worked well. Maybe a couple of little bedside tables.
• Michelle (4/5): Disappointing -
• Colin (8/5): Very good - Room very clean bed very comfy would stay again def
• Thomas (8/5): Very good -
• Tafadzwa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Deborah (5/5): Passable - Never met the host personally but the communication via mail and booking went very fast and pleasant. I stayed in the Tolcarne Guesthouse twice within one month. One time I stayed in a clean 4-bed dorm with a shared bathroom. One time I stayed in a very worn down 10-bed dorm with an own bathroom. The stay in the 4-bed dorm was alright. The room had a little desk and even a TV. It was used but clean. Just one night something rather unpleasant must had happened in the shared bathroom and it was pretty gross to use it afterwards until it was cleaned. I prolongued my stay there for another night and stayed for 3 nights in total. The price was very modest. The other time was very disappointing. I stayed for two nights in the 10-bed dorm and payed double the price with half the comfort and cleanliness. The room was very worn down, the carpet had massive stains and was very dirty (I was too disgusted to take my shoes off there), the light switch was hidden behind of one of the beds that had been stuffed in and was very hard to reach. Plugs were scarce and under or behind to beds and also hard to reach. There was no place to sit down besides the beds and no room to store luggage and personal items in none of the two rooms. Paying double the price for that room was very inappropriate. I don't recommend staying in the 10-bed dorm and would have given much less points if my other stay hadn't been much better.
• Tim (2/5): Very poor -
• Damiun (7/5): Good -
