Guest Reviews
- Stefan (3/5): - You can do it. But you must not. BB without host. Keys in a Box outside. The Location is not in an agreable area.
- Guilherme (10/5): -
- Alex (2/5): - Besitzer unfreundlich , fragwürdige leute die dort wahrscheinlich eingemietet sind
- Daniel (10/5): -
- John (1/5): Dreadful -
- Daniel (10/5): -
- David (9/5): Just perfect, Good value for money! - Very good value for money. Very happy with the facilities. Had everything you needed, sometimes even more than you need. The owner was very helpful. Would come back again. Could do with a sign at the end of the drive. Was a bit hard to spot, other than that nothing else.
- phillips (6/5): cheap and cheerful for the price. TV could have been better as hardly anything to watch. - milk was sour. TV didn't give free view. only got iplayer.
- Colton (7/5): -
- Giada (1/5): - No recibimos la información del check in y tuvimos que reservar otro alojamiento
- Anne (7/5): Appreciated being jnside & sheltered from bitter cold weather. - Room clean cosy. Lovely little touches like breakfast cereals available, hair dryer/straightener available. Loved taking a bath. Upstairs s bit if a climb with luggage, a bit grotty outside. Freezing cold had to wait for place to heat up. Shower water ran icy cold or it burnt me 👎🏽
- Bibinlal (6/5): - A dirty towel with urine and a t shirt was kept in the draws while we were started to use the room. Other than everything is fine
- Romuald (7/5): -
- Julia (9/5): comfortable, clean and well equipped - having breakfast things and also quick response from you by text when i needed to know information. Well equipped kitchen and everthing lovely and clean i think it would be good to put a door sign 'inverthorne House' on the outside as i didnt now at first if I had come to the right place
- Kenny (7/5): Got what I paid for - Location great very clean and quite enjoyable N/A
- Owen (8/5): -
- Roxana (8/5): It was a good experience and good location. - Didn’t have bkf there. Although there were options .
Kenny was very approachable, helpful any friendly. Housekeeper Irene very nice and friendly too. The bed in my room was a bit wobble.
- David (4/5): - Never had breakfast , was not aware , times or when it was presented , left pretty early though. Was not aware it was in the middle of a housing scheme, side entrance was in a delapitated looking state , you need to make people aware that my middle room was incredibly small, with just a porthole , too small for me , no windows made it all feel clostrfobic, on the other had the bed in the room and shower area were immaculate and spotless.
Would I personally stay here again , not for me, take picture of room & make people aware of its size.
- Mary (8/5): Other than the above it was good. - Breakfast was good, location not so good no parking for big cars Didn't like having to share bathroom
- J L (9/5): Lovely, thank you 😊! - Very nice bath tub! Access to a complete kitchen! Very thoughtful touches like spare toothbrush incase you forgot! No small mugs.
- Gordon (7/5): -
- Birgit (7/5): Sauber. Hat alles, was man braucht - Lage etwas außerhalb, daher jedoch sehr gut zum Parken.
Kein Personal vor Ort, E-Mail kontakt mit Gastgeber aber sehr zuverlässig & freundlich.
Sehr sauber. Alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Küche gut ausgestattet.
Außengelände nicht schön. Gibt sicher bessere Unterkünfte, aber mit Sicherheit auch viel schlechtere. Im Preis-Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften günstig. Außengelände könnte man pflegen
- Margot (3/5): Would not recommend unless you're strapped for cash and really need to stop for the night. - It is cheap and it was easy to let ourselves in and to leave in the morning. First of all this is located in a very shady area, in a house was was quite obviously supposed to be a council house. The shower was either freezing cold or boiling hot and we found a pill bug in the bathtub. There is only one bathroom (and the toilets are in it) for four bedrooms (at least 5 people). The walls were paper thin which meant we had no intimacy and the other guests got up very early and talked loudly in the kitchen which was adjacent to our room so we didn't get much sleep. The supposedly double bed was really narrow for two people and too soft. The kitchen wasn't very well stocked as there was barely any milk left when we started making breakfast.
- Sudeesh (10/5): -
- Tom (9/5): -
- Alice (10/5): - Exceptionally clean and tidy. Outside looks a bit tired.
- Robert (8/5): -
- Birk (8/5): -
- Kuć (7/5): -
- Francisco (7/5): Everything was fine - Good value for money I would have loved it if I was aware that there were food making opportunities ( a important thing on a public holiday as restaurants had limited opening hours
- Telmani (6/5): -
- Owen (7/5): -
- Hamilton (7/5): The please is good - Clean The beds are weak
- McQuire (1/5): Shit hole - Nothing, the outside was disgusting, with a path that was a death trap. Litter all over, cigarette stubs all around the bin. Don't know why you list it to he honest. It seems it was somebody's shitty spare room. There was bo parking, chapped the door with no answer, so with that said, didn't stay. Everything, it wasn't inviting at all. Paying £60 and not staying is bad enough. But maybe you should send someone around these places to make sure they are worthy of a listing. As I am seriously thinking of deleting your app.
- Renato (8/5): - Sistemazione modesta, in un appartmante, in una zona di case popolari.
Offre tutto quel che serve, è pulita e con buoni spazi interni.
Si tova a circa 20' a piedi dal centro città.
- Zach (1/5): -
- Liam (8/5): -
- Daniela (10/5): Meraviglioso - Personale fantastico. Dotazione cucina notevole.
Ricca offerta per la colazione. Il bus passa ogni ora
- Boyce (7/5): - Big room and the bed was comfy. The bed was very creeky and walls were a bit thin.
- Brigitte (9/5): lovely place for the price - this place had everything we could’ve needed. bathroom was stocked with things you may forget to take away with you ie toothbrush, tooth paste, makeup remover shower products. staff were lovely when we seen them. wasn’t sure how we was meant to get breakfast
- Marco (8/5): -
- Roy (9/5): - Close to the city Center and parking was no problem
Room was basic but had all you need so perfect for me
- Tafara (10/5): - It was very peaceful and everything was there including food. Nothing
- Fodor (7/5): - 10 perc sétára volt a városközpont, kényelmes ágy, városnézéshez, túrahoz kiinduló pontnak megfelelő. 4 szobához tartozott egy db fürdőszoba, foglaláskor ez nem lett világossá téve. Ehhez képest a szobaár magas.
- Luis (9/5): -
- David (10/5): - Nicest place we stayed in for our 2 week vacation
- Karen (6/5): -
- Hannah (10/5): - The location was great and close enough to the City Centre to walk and see a lot of the city. The owners were extremly friendly, welcoming and helpful. I would absolutley stay here again and reccomend to everyone!
- Duncan (4/5): I only stayed here as a place to sleep before work and it was a horrible uncomfortable sleep - The ease of accessing the property The bed was basically unfit to sleep in, it was like sleeping in a ditch, I had to put two towels and a pillow below my lower back to stop the ache in my back
- Andrea (10/5): - La cama era muy cómoda, en la cocina se puede usar todo (lavadora, fuegos, micro...). Además dejan bastante cositas para desayunar, como pan, leche, cereales, avena (un gran detalle en verdad). En el baño también dejan muchos detalles, como champú, cepillo de dientes... Muy atentos por su parte además de un check in fácil. Hay zona de aparcamiento gratis muy cerca de la casa. Muchas gracias! No se me ocurre nada
- Brendan (8/5): -
- Anthony (8/5): Good location for a one night stay. - Good self selection choice. Amount of food adequate. Had to prepare it all yourself Everything was OK.
- emily (5/5): decent but with problems - The room was nice, it was clear that whoever was keeping it clean did an excellent job. The room wasn't super far from the centre either, only about 20 minutes walking. The rooms were secure and it was comfy enough. As a solo traveller, I felt safe. This place was good for one night. If you're going to see your team play at the nearby footie club, you're golden. I think anyone expecting to go and stay in a cottage or guest house will be disappointed. The home was located on a street with council housing which, for me is absolutely fine as a Brit, but I can see why it would definitely be jarring for others. The window was comically tiny. I only had to share a bathroom with another solo traveller, but if all rooms were filled I think I would have been quite upset. Not to mention, we shared the house with a troupe of spiders, whom I have an awful fear of. Breakfast was serve yourself toast/cereal, which is fine, but "breakfast included" perhaps might entail other things for other people. Had I spent multiple nights here, I possibly would have considered leaving early.
- Carmen (3/5): Nie wieder - Handtücher waren frei verfügbar Insgesamt ein schäbiger Eindruck, den auch die Dekoversuche nicht wett machen konnte.
Der Vermieter wohnt nicht in dem Haus.
Der Keysafe am Haus ging extrem schwer auf und ohne das ich einen Mitbewohner herausgeklopft hatte, stände ich wahrscheinlich heute noch vor der Tür.
Boiler im Bad funktionierte nicht richtig.
Das Bett war für mich, 1,72 cm, schon zu kurz.
- Mark (10/5): - Easy to find the room was perfect for a one night stay. It couldn't have been better Nothing. It was what I needed for a one night stay
- Norman (1/5): Crap - The building was a tenement very scruffy arguments late at night no in English so don’t know what it was about. No staff no breakfast VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED Nothing
- Rainer (8/5): -
- Peter (8/5): -
- Hannah (7/5): Comfy, safe base for a busy trip. - Breakfast was cereal, I had a twelve hour coach trip to get to for 8am so didn't have time for anything more and was on a Sunday morning. Room was nice and clean and bed was comfy and bathroom was nice. The TV was a nice touch as I don't have one at home. Ideally for short stays to not have that much wardrobe space and a bit more room round the bed and little table. Nicely decorated though. Noise of other guests coming and going and slamming front door, front door was very shabby like a temp fire door so did make me a bit nervous at first as a solo traveller. Location wasn't ideal as a twenty minute walk from city centre BUT I did book about a week before and not many options to be fair. The key setup was a bit of a faff with the instructions to get the initial key then put back once inside in safe then get own key from top of stairs. I would say the TV bracket needs looking at as when I tried to move it out closer to the bed it did look like it was coming away from wall a bit.
- Amy (4/5): Not recommended for solo female travelers. Poor quality:price ratio. - The housekeeper was lovely - she was the only reason that I was able to enter the apartment.
The instructions for arriving at the apartment were very unclear — the owner did not explain that there was a separate side door to the property that you have to enter, and in the dark you couldn’t see any numbers to indicate which door to enter. After standing outside in the dark confused and concerned for a good while, thankfully the housekeeper arrived to save the day and explained how to enter.
The bathroom was clean and fine — hot water in the shower was good. I appreciated being able to have a toast and tea in the morning. The mattress was truly HORRID. I wouldn’t even classify it as a mattress; it was basically a misshapen blanket. As an averaged-I sized young female, I automatically felt the hard springs upon sitting down on the bed. I had a horrible nights sleep — the mattress caved into the middle and I was stuck on the hard springs. I saw reviews from months ago claiming that the mattresses would be replaced, but this was clearly not the case.
Another issue is that the keys and door locks were extremely loud and cumbersome, so you could hear every time another guest left their room to go to the kitchen or the bathroom. All 4 rooms had to share 1 bathroom.
Also, I would not recommend this place for solo female travelers. To arrive at the property it’s a 20 min walk from the city center, and you have to pass many dark and unpopulated streets. I am very accustomed to traveling alone, but I did not feel comfortable arriving to the property at night. Perhaps it would be a better idea for men or couples traveling together.
Overall, it was not a pleasant experience and not worth the price.
- Richard (9/5): - The kitchen facilities and the fact that you can check in or out at leisure. Not being aware that instructions about the key only arrived on the arrival date. It would be nice to be told the procedure more in advance.
In short it would be good to be told at the time of booking that you don't get the key code until the day.
- Alessia (10/5): -
- chris (9/5): -
- mordecai (6/5): - Nice having a real Kitchen Facility ,to prepare a "home-cooked " meal The Mattress was Unsatisfactory. In the AM I told the Cleaning person that I had to put extra pillows below the sunken center of the mattress ,to "even it out ". She said "new mattresses are being delivered soon.". NOT soon enough
- Federica (10/5): Simply Perfect !!!! - Tutto super pulito , profumo diffuso in tutta la casa. Colazione a disposizione ! Tutto perfetto
- Daniela (10/5): Organizzatissimo! - Pulitissimo e molto confortevole. Staff meraviglioso, bagno sempre perfetto con shampoo, bagnoschiuma, asciugacapelli a disposizione. Cucina con tutto il necessario e colazione varia e ricca! Non è lontano dal centro ma se si vogliono usare i mezzi pubblici il bus passa ogni ora.
- sabre (8/5): -
- Morag (5/5): -
- Thierry Dartigues (1/5): - Je ne comprends pas comment booking peut sélectionner un tel établissement.
Literie désastreuse, endroit sordide
- Alain (3/5): Rapport qualité prix déplorable. A fuir - Informations préalables d’accès
Possibilité d’arrivée tardive
Propriété ok chambre et sdb Literie déplorable, cause de lombalgie le matin au réveil
Absence de rideau à la fenêtre face au lit au soleil levant
Cuisine commune sommaire sans tabouret ni table. Frigo vide, un seul œuf, un petit sachet de céréales restant, ni yaourts ni fruits ou autre
- GIULIA (9/5): Molto bene. - Camere molto pulite a parte gli armadi.
Letto comodo.
Bagno in comune ma pulitissimo e fornitori di shampoo, spazzolini e bagnoschiuma.
A disposizione anche una cucina che non abbiamo utilizzato.
10 minuti a piedi dal centro e con parcheggio gratis sotto casa.
A disposizione asciugamani puliti e phon. Le pareti sono poco spesse e si sente tutto.
- MISAO (1/5): -
- Ismael (8/5): -
- Bedouet (8/5): - La personne qui s'occupe de ces lieux est très agréable, le petit déjeuner était offert en plus de la réservation Nous sommes tombés sur d'autres locataires du logement ( celui-ci comporte 4 chambres ) qui je pense n'ont pas été élevé ce qui gâche un peu le séjour
- Kevin (8/5): -
- Terence (8/5): Good overnight stay !!! - All ok would use again !!!
- Malgorzata (8/5): - Czyste pokój i pomieszczenia wspólne. Są wszystkie potrzebne rzeczy (środki czystości, suszarka do włosów). Dobrze zorganizowane.
Lokalizacja dobra, do centrum krótki spacer. Trochę męczą skrzypiące podłogi.
- Kelly (1/5): Awful - Tiny room in a council house. Bed was terrible, spring in my husbands back all night long. There are four rooms so 8 people sharing the 1 toilet and bathroom. Our bedroom door was difficult as it scraps on the floor.
There was no hot water to the shower. Breakfast is self serve cereal and toast. Location is not ideal, I was concerned about our rental car being damaged during the night.
Sorry but this is the 1st ever bad review I’ve ever given. Only positive was the lovely cleaning lady who tried to assist with the shower water and dies a great job with cleaning. Everything expect the cleaner
- Agnieszka (9/5): - Bardzo przytulne miejsce, czuliśmy się jak na wyjeździe u dziadków. Zadbany domek w spokojnej dzielnicy Inverness. Czysto, spokojnie i bardzo miło. Pozdrawiamy Kenny'ego. Pobyt był fantastyczny i polecamy to miejsce każdemu, a sami pewnie tu wrócimy kolejny raz. Nic
- Yassine (8/5): - Toutes les commodités.
Calme.
A 15 min de la station de bus.
- Pierre-Alain (6/5): - WC dans la Salle de bain commune, pour 3 ou 4 chambres ...c'est plus que juste le matin
- Ilyin (10/5): -
- Chinedu (9/5): -
- Emilia (7/5): - good location, clean, wi-fi the bed was very uncomfortable
- Zachary (7/5): -
- Uma (7/5): - It was in a pleasant location; not too in the center of town where it’s loud and touristy but quiet and next to cute cafes. The facilities were very clean and there was everything we needed from shower gel to spare toothbrushes to food and extra towels. The cleaning staff was very wonderful and kind. The owner was sweet and responded quickly to issues. It’s affordable, and perfect for students/young people who need something that has everything at not too high a price. The owner didn’t let us keep our bags in the house after checkout which was quite frustrating. The doors locks are sticky and the bed is incredibly squeaky and thin. Not anything terrible, but certainly not perfect all around.
- Jönsson (7/5): Helt okej boende med frächt rum - Det var lätt att checka in och checka ut. Rummet var fräscht och rummet var bra. Ett bra ställe att bo på om man ska på utflykter och sådant. Att det var delat badrum funkade okej men borde ingått i priset. Frukosten var inte alls bra, endast rostbröd som man hade tillgång till i köket som inte heller ingick i vanliga priset. Var inte värt att lägga till frukosten på vistelsen.
- deborah (7/5): - Bed comfy and clean. Kitchen well equipped and clean. Bathroom was adequate but shared with 3 other rooms. I would consider this a basic self contained stay . Found it a bit noisy. Train very close by , a busy road and other guests coming and going.
- Barnes (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): -
- Hamish henderson (3/5): well overpriced for what you get. - d.i.y. toast or cereal.went without breakfast. most things.
- David charles (7/5): - Convenient walk into Inverness Mattress was very soft
- Stuart (7/5): -
- Carmen (4/5): Ich würde die Unterkunft nicht mehr aussuchen - Nichts hat uns gefallen..... Es war kein Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Frühstück mussten wir selber machen. Es Lag alles in der Küche und Kühlschrank.
Von Außen konnten wir nicht erkennen das es dort eine Unterkunft gab. Für 6 Personen gab es nur 2 Skones zu Essen Toastbrot war auch nicht um bedingt ausreichend vorhanden wenn man 4 Männer dabei hat....
- Peter (9/5): - Good organisation, clean rooms, very well provisioned, everything worked, good location for a walk into town. Side entrance a bit shabby.
- janice (2/5): The worst I’ve ever had - It was basic but clean The location and kept awake from midnight till three in the morning downstairs had music bleating out and lots of shouting very loudly felt very unsafe
- Martin (6/5): -
- Ioana (5/5): - Un rapport prestations/prix totalement unacceptable, d'autant que nous avons d'autres références pendant ce même voyage en Écosse. Nous ne comprenons pas que Booking puisse accepter cela.
- colin (1/5): wont be staying again - nothing didnt see owners everything
- Peter (1/5): Rubbish - Nothing Everything . We struggled to find the accommodation, as we thought it might have the name of the place outside. The pathway is uneven, which makes it awkward to pull cases. It stated in the advertisement it comes with breakfast, but I don’t want to eat cereal that every man and his dog could have had their hands in. The shower wouldn’t heat up, but it didn’t matter as the water pressure was totally inadequate. I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone, and I would definitely never stay there again.
