Guest Reviews

• Stuart (10/5): -
• Calvin (1/5): -
• Olga (1/5): - Nothing, the host sent a link to a dodgy website to upload my id and advised that they would cancel my booking within an hour. There was neither further communication nor check in instructions. The host did not response to any messages. Arrived to the property and there was nobody to check in or answered the doors. The property looked like a brothel from the outside. At 21.30 after waiting for the check in instructions I had to find an alternative accommodation AVOID AT ALL COSTS! IT IS LOCATED AT A DOODGY PART OF SOUTHAMPTON!
• Camara (8/5): -
• David (1/5): - Nothing It was very dirty, no communication with the host, misleading and missing information in regards to the check in.
• Heavisides (9/5): -
• Calvin (10/5): -
• Andre (1/5): Awful - Nothing was definitely not what was stated my kids were very upset no hot tub as stated we didn’t even stay very eary awful place All of it we left and didnt stay
• Jpmarshall (4/5): Wouldn't stay here again - The price WiFi didnt work some days Everything morning my clothes were damp Got a bad chest staying here Lots of shouting from other residents Parking was terrible
• Douglas (1/5): Don't book with Portsmouth stays - Nothing. Horrible owner. Sent me the wrong access code, and refused to take calls or reply messages. Left me stuck. Had to find another room at a much higher price. Same experience with their 15 clarence road property. Don't book. No customer service. No one to call or message. I don't think they care about their business.
• Rainer (4/5): You get what you pay for, and it’s pretty cheap. - The room was big The communication was done by an AI and told me key box numbers that had nothing to do with the one I needed. The AI did not reply to any questions and I had to call the manager to even get into the property. Was there for a 4 nights and have no idea where the shower even was. There had been some talk of breakfast in the description but that also didn’t really have any bearing in reality.
• Emmanuel (8/5): -
• Chamberlain (1/5): - The booking Inn was not good there was damp mode in the bathrooms holes in the rooms in the walls leaking pipes my wife got a chest infection no toilet roll I toilets there was dog faeces in the garden as it come across it what is a five star bot seem like hmo not a hotel The booking Inn was not good there was damp mode in the bathrooms holes in the rooms in the walls leaking pipes my wife gat a chest infection no toilet roll in toilets there was dog faeces in garden as it come across it what is a five star bot seem like it's a hmo not a hotel
• Emmanuel (7/5): - satisfied door
• Bruno (3/5): Only good location on the positive side…. - The location is really good Filthy! The door looked like a garage gate! The mattress almost unexistent! Really uncomfortable! Really noisy residents! 6 in the morning and people shouting everywhere. Sent message to the people in charge but no reply at all! Up on the arrival no code for the main door were provided and no calls answered. So had to wait for other residents to open the main door. I was given the wrong code to the key box for my room so again I had to wait for the person in charge to get back to me! Toilets completely filthy! Specially the toilet seats!!!!
• Krysiak (7/5): - Location Not been able to gain entry to the property But this was resolved soon enough.
• Heavisides (8/5): -
• David (7/5): - Comfy bed, hot shower. Problems with keys and key boxes at check in.
• Drula (1/5): - Nimic ! Niste pereți reci pe care cineva i-a numit camera ! 0 confort, 0 curățenie, 0 respect față de client! O mizerie ! Niște proprietari care au descris cu degetele încrucișate o încăpere ca fiind o cameră ! Sub nivelul mari ! Absolut ne recomandabil !
• Viorel (9/5): - Good
• Viorel (8/5): - Good
• Beatriz (1/5): - Nothing Everything. Place was disgusting, covered in mould! Bedding had stains and marks, covered in hair!
• E (1/5): very stressful, hardly any communication - nothing couldn’t even get in the place
• Shenghong (8/5): - Very convenient location, very family friendly room, helpful hoster, quiet area, very nice experience!
• Jessica-mai (1/5): Awful - DO NOT BOOK THIS terrible facilities. The pictures are nothing like the property- Blood on walls, no furniture, no working wifi, dirty, broken flooring holes in the walls BLOOD ON the walls- no towels it’s awful. Host ignored- refund requested. Be careful guys this host is a clear con man false advertising and taking your well warned money for what I can only describe as a crack den DO NOT BOOK THIS terrible facilities.

• Otto (8/5): -
• Shaun H (1/5): Avoid 5 Hamilton house - Location, Bed linen and towels were clean. Taswell house was unavailable, did not find this out until I was outside the property, the property owner moved me by taxi to Hamilton House in Palmerston road. I thought, great an upgrade. How wrong was I. No key available so I was stuck in the room unable to leave. After taking over 30 mins to get in. Boiler broken so no heating or hot running water. Internet didn't work. Bed was broken, I had to move the mattress to the floor. Evidence of substance abuse under the mattress. Cooker would not ignite, fridge was off and unplugged. Bedroom blinds broken. What appears to be poo stains on the bedroom floor. Wardrobe broken and dirty empty glass found on top. Customer service tried and failed.
• Adrian (4/5): Cheap double room don't hope for a lot - Bed was comfy Arrange early check in let down,told permits available none no towels provided..TV run on internet only no instructions. Window left open to high reach clamber .....
• Jessie (1/5): HORRIBLE - It wasn’t good at all My code was already typed into the lock box all I had to do was pull down the black leaver and get he keys The towels provided were dirty the room was freezing me and my partner had to put the hair dryer on just to keep ourselves warm the tv wouldn’t stay on the apps we wanted it kept coming out of the ap and going to the hme page even after we unplugged it and plugged it back in
• Michael (10/5): -
• Pooja (3/5): - It's self so good. No problem. Quality of bed is very poor.
• Joshua (3/5): A big disappointment - Lack of ease when getting the key for the property. There was no key for the room I was assigned and then the key for the new room I was assigned was the wrong key. Numerous calls to host to sort issue. Broken window in room and picture from wall was not on the wall (see picture). When I arrived there was a strong smell of cannabis coming from the front of the property. Overall, this was an unpleasant stay and the way the issue was dealt with was very unprofessional.
• Julie (10/5): - Clean, comfortable bed, quiet, everything that's needed for a night stay over. Should have messaged but forgot, bedside lamp not working.
• michael (8/5): -
• Ajit singh (1/5): It’s just wastage of money to stay there. - “I was extremely disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. The bathroom and bedrooms smelled terrible, and there were stains on the sheets and towels. It was clear the room hadn’t been properly cleaned before my arrival. Definitely not worth the price.

• Adam (10/5): - Cheap. Friendly, good communication Nothing
• Gatis (10/5): -
• Hernandez (9/5): -
• MARII (2/5): - The bed was comfortable Customer service,the room doesn't look as displayed
• Nona (8/5): - Near beach
• Arran (10/5): Will stay again - The room Nothing
• Tony (7/5): -
• Olufunmilola (2/5): Horrid. I would not recommend. - Nothing The whole building reeked of cigarette smoke. I was there with children and that was absolutely unacceptable. I messaged the hosts, did not get a response. The bedsheets in one of the rooms was dirty, and the curtains as well. My son touched the curtain and got sticky stuff on his hands.
• Gary (8/5): -
• Chris (1/5): Get what you pay for - It was cheap No heating, no towels, cleaners don't take the stuff out the machines
• Ndojime (1/5): Very bad place for family stay. Needs 300% cleaniless and management overhaul - The two places had a very bad stench. The property is mostly used as a brothel. The beds were unmade and tissues of blood and sanitary towels were on the floor. The owner did not even care about customer satisfaction. He sent me to another location which was equally as bad. I do not know what AA inspectors are doing to have such places open. The hotels are at very good locations but management is very poor. I can never recommend this place even to to my worst enemy. I was left for3 hours in the cold until my daughter picked me up Everything about the two places. Good location but no security
• Rokoqica (10/5): -
• Steve (8/5): Always a comfy stay, parking can be an issue but stay frequently & come back, nuff said -
• Jaroslav (2/5): - Po příjezdu jsem zjistil, že ve schránce na klíče žádný klíč nebyl. Místo pokoje delux č.1, kde byli ubytování nejspíš dlouhodobě velmi zvláštní osoby, jsem dostal pokoj č.4. V něm byly díry ve zdi a další trhliny. Dle hlavního popisu jsem nabyl zdání, že pokoj má mít vlastní koupelnu a kuchyňku, ale všechny mají sdílenou nejen koupelnu, ale i WC. Toaletní papír byl jeden pro všechny pokoje, takže záhy došel a ani další den nebyl vyměněn. Pytle s odpadky byly volně pohozene před vchodem. Naví jsem během dvou nocí byl silně pokousán takřka na celém těle, prvděpodobně štěnicemi. Pevně doufám, že se mi podařilo udělat dostatečná opatření, abych si je nenastěhoval domů. Nikdy víc! Upon arrival, I discovered that there was no key in the key box. Instead of deluxe room no. 1, where very special people were probably staying for a long time, I was given room no. 4. There were holes in the wall and other cracks. According to the main description, I got the impression that the room was supposed to have its own bathroom and kitchenette, but all of them shared not only the bathroom, but also the toilet. There was one toilet paper for all rooms, so it soon ran out and was not replaced the next day. Garbage bags were thrown around in front of the entrance. In the course of two nights, I was severely bitten almost all over my body, probably by bedbugs. I really hope that I managed to take sufficient precautions not to bring them into my house. Never again!
• Tania (8/5): -
• Alastair (1/5): DO NOT USE THIS PLACE!!!!! - Nothing! There was absolutely nothing to like about my experiance with Taswell House. Turned up at the property around 8pm to find a Romanian family living in my room, cleaner told them earlier in the day to expect someone at the property looking for there room as owner had double booked. I called and text the owner and even a week later still hasn't replied or payed me my £200 back. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE you will be scammed. Spoke to a guest in the property and was told the owner does this all the time.
• Martin (9/5): Excellent value for money - Place is very clean, room was very spatious and extremely good vaue for the money. Toilet and kitchen were clean spotless, was pleasently surprised. Very hard to find parking. Check in could be a bit sooner, it is at 4 pm. I'd prefer 2 pm
• Henry (1/5): AVOID AVOID AVOID. - Nothing. Did.nt stay was there 5 minutes and left. Holes in the doors. Holes in walls. Wallpaper hanging off. Filthy and totally not as described in photos. More like a squatters den.
• Tamsin (6/5): -
• Nayimul (10/5): -
• Joseph (6/5): Value for money - Good Location, reasonable price, everything is available in the house There were lots of room and in the night there was a lots of noise.
• Htoo (7/5): - The owners and staff were very helpful. The door key to my room in particular have problems where I can't get through the front door
• Flett (1/5): - Not much Booking sending random guests round to disturb me, neighbors pretending to rent but they live in the building, tenants turning radiators up then entering your room and draining your blood.
• Flett (1/5): -
• allen (1/5): - Not a b and b. More like a half way house. Full of ex cons on long term lease could smell drugs through out the building. Left early as didn't feel safe
• Esther (7/5): -
• VIJAY GEETHIK (10/5): -
• Steve (8/5): Always a good stay, needs a new mattress - Central location, easy access. Bed too low & uncomfortable
• Karl (8/5): Plenty of space- clean facilities- excellent value - Had two rooms in one, nice clean kitchen, easy check in and out plenty space Shared bathroom (we seemed to be only people that used ours as there are 3)
• Febe (5/5): - Location is great I feel like the bed cover, blanket and pillow case hasn’t been changed. I stayed for 3 nights and i haven’t been sleeping well. I ended up covering my pillow with the towel. I could recognise the fresh towel and used.
• Thomas (5/5): - Comfortable bed , spacious room Downstairs WC no working light, could do with freshing up with paint and deep clean of bathrooms
• Michael David (6/5): -
• rushton (5/5): Great price, however it was not clear exactly what we were paying for. - It was not clear that toilets and bathrooms were shared with other guests. The room stated two adults one child, but unless the child wants to sleep on the floor they're left with a spinning loveseat - NOT a bed. Hosts ignored all attempts to contact them.
• Sukhy (1/5): AVOID - Only the decor was nice BEDROOM: Old uncomfortable mattress on a very old low metal bed frame. Dust and rubbish under bed, which I had to clean myself. We noticed security tags inside two of the pillows when we took off pillow covers to see what was hurting our necks. Does this mean the pillows were stolen either by landlord or previous tennants?. Dirty curtains and dirt on window sills and radiators. The Tv was not working properly, so I kept it off. KIDS BEDROOM: Iron, ironing board, kettle, etc. on a book shelf, this is a safety issue. These items should be kept well out of easy reach. Dirty window sills. Had to wipe clean with hygiene wipes. TOWELS: Not the best quality, bit hard and rusty on skin. BATHROOM: Broken shower rail and Dirty shower curtain, very old bath tub with old style taps that need replacing. Was horrible. DOWNSTAIRS SHOWER: Someone was in there trying to get it to work, said no hot water, so left it KITCHEN: Dirty mugs left in sink, which i washed dried and put away as I am clean, organised person, dislike mess and dirt. Bad smell from fridge due to overrated milk and food (from 2013), so obviously nobody comes regularly to clean and sanitise kitchen areas, dining areas, etc. The tumble dryer was not working, we was hoping to dry some clothes that got wet in the rain as we could not put on radiators, as they were dusty. Washing machines smelled and had dirty drawers. We had an emergency call on the evening of the day booked in, a sudden family death, so we had to rush back to Birmingham to support family, etc. We tried calling landlord lots but no answer to calls or texts, sent emails and messages through booking.com, no answer. The landlord also did not reply to messages from booking.com asking for to.
• Keith (9/5): - Lovely big room. Good location. Nice kitchen.
• Nicolas (8/5): Comfy place in South Sea by Portsmouth - Spacious and well illustrated space. Comfy bed. Restrooms need refurbishment but are still in working condition.
• Penny (5/5): just needed a place to put our heads down so was okay for 1 night - door and door frames were a bit grubby. Smell of stale smoke.
• Tareq (2/5): -
• Samuel (8/5): -
• Soares (1/5): -
• Ngwenya (4/5): If it can be spruced up it will be good to stay. - Not what I expected. It looked old and stuffy especially room 1
• Buddha (4/5): -
• Maria (10/5): Would stay again - Lovely room very clean and comfortable Can't fault it
• Nikolov (10/5): - . .
• Frederic (8/5): j'ai apprécié la qualité/prix toute réflexion faite. - Grande chambre dans une maison d'habitation traditionnelle (rue calme mais remplie de maisons et de voitures ... Bon lit Prix intéressant pour la région Parking "quasi" gratuit (sauf entre 16h et 18h) Accepte les chiens un peu compliqué pour récupérer les clés... le code donné n'était pas le bon .. perdu 20 minutes avant d'avoir le propriétaire au tél ... tout est rentré dans l'ordre! Sdb's et toilettes communes ... parfois les gens sont parfaits parfois sales ...
• Frederic (7/5): Qualité/prix intéressant - Qualité/prix intéressant dans cette ville Grande chambre et grand lit Calme Rue pour parquer gratuitement sauf pendant 2 heures au retour des propriétés de la rue.... On arrive quand on veut... système de clé dans des boîtiers sécurisés Pas de propriétaire sur place Commun pas top.... Sdb partagées....moyen mais fonctionnelles
• Nona (8/5): -
• Enguerrand (10/5): -
• Jolina (9/5): - Tv Curtains let a lot of light through
• Kubaych (9/5): -
• Nicolas (5/5): -
• Jessica (5/5): - La ubicación El alojamiento se publicita como casa entera y realmente son habitaciones con baños compartidos así como cocina y zonas comunes compartidas. Creo que deberían ser más claros y especificar este dato. Nos ubicaron en la habitación del último piso, sin ascensor y escaleras muy empinadas.....si hubiésemos tenido problemas de movilidad hubiese sido imposible acceder a la habitación.
• Ramakrishna (10/5): - Cosy room with comfortable bed, all amenities provided as described.
• Marta (8/5): One night - I found the parking space in front of the house. Rooms are looking like in the photos. Wooden floor is a little bit old and is moving on the parts.
• Michael (5/5): Comfortable stay - Location ideal for town and beach. Room/bed comfortable. Facilities good. No communication with owner, tried ringing/texting, no response. No batteries in remote so no TV. Basic information given internet manual.
• Piotr (1/5): - The property host was not responsive we had to call booking to find later alternative accommodation.. please avoid W
• Tumuzghi (10/5): -
• August (10/5): - Clean and comfortable. Use of kitchen and shared toilets. Great HMO. Very close to ferries. Will always return as great value for money.
• Chloe (me) (10/5): -
• JoGrant (6/5): - l left my kindle there under the pillow and despite calling and messaging so I could collect it - no one bothered to get back to me
• Sofie (7/5): - Leuk ingerichte kamer. Ruime kamer. Toen we aankwamen deden we het kluisje van onze kamer 6 open. Daar zat een sleutel in met nr 4. We gingen naar kamer 4 maar dat was de verkeerde kamer, aangezien er maar plaats was voor 2 personen in plaats van 4. We probeerden daarop kluisje nummer 4 te openen, en inderdaad, daar zat de sleutel van kamer 6 in. Dat was even erg verwarrend.
