- Carl (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable
- Mariano (5/5): comodo ma con poca attenzione alla pulizia - facile accesso nel trovare la casa e fare il check-in grazie alle info dettagliate in fase di prenotazione .Ambiente caldo e funzionale, letti comodi, doccia ampia la pulizia, scarsa, abbiamo notato capelli e peli nel letto, sembra che non abbiano cambiato le lenzuola, nel frigo c'erano alimenti scaduti lasciati da qualche altro ospite,
- Ryan (10/5): -
- Frary (9/5): - ease of access
- Shar (8/5): Lovely 2 rooms for overnight stay - The rooms were very clean, and it was nice that it was just us in the two rooms. Lots of facilities including a fridge and microwave, also the shower was lovely. The bed was a bit hard, but that is probably just our personal choice. I found the keysafe a bit fiddly, especially when trying to put the keys back in at the end of our stay. Also, the hot water gets far too hot in the sink, maybe a notice about that might be helpful.
- James (8/5): -
- racoleman (1/5): - There was no bath though the description, which I checked on 8th November, stated as below
"Modern Amenities: Each room includes a bath, refrigerator, work desk, and soundproofing" and was unhappy with other aspects of the room.
- Elson (10/5): Very happy and comfortable staying here at Midway - would do it again and stay again! - I loved how the heater warmed up the room quickly! And there was free soap and shampoo - helped a lot!
- Collins (10/5): -
- Timothy (9/5): - Location was great , very close to the main road for a quick bus ride into Watford Checkout could be 12pm since check-in is 3pm . There are only two bedrooms.
- Clark (10/5): - Always great, easy to find, close to road links, owner very helpful. N/A
- James (6/5): -
- Simone (9/5): -
- Apexilon (10/5): Nice little hideaway for a getaway - Private, clean, quiet, comfortable That I hadn't found here sooner
- Marion (10/5): Great accommodation very close to Harry Potter Studios - Fab room out in a lovely garden house with everything from plates and cutlery to an iron, microwave and fridge. There are 2 rooms in the house with 1 shared bathroom. The host was great with communications and the instructions to get in were very easy to follow and we were able to park at the house too. There are plenty places to eat nearby, we used the harvester just few minutes drive away and there are shops nearby too. We stayed here to go to the Harry Potter Studios and it was perfect just 5 or so minutes drive away. Very impressed with this place and will use again and recommend.
- Bronwyn (7/5): Perfect for a night stay - The house is located just off the M1, getting the keys and going to our room was easy. Good value for money. Excellent shower. Little bit awkward as you are sharing a bathroom with other people across the way and the rooms aren’t completely sound proof.
- Walentynowicz (7/5): -
- Beverley (9/5): Lovely comfortable place with everything you need. - Convenient location to where I needed to be for work. Everything I needed in the room. Clean and tidy and as described. Great hot shower - very clean and lovely warm room with the heater on for a short time. Lovely and quiet. Would definitely stay again. Could do with a comfy chair to sit and relax on so not just sitting on the bed or desk style chair.
But would say there was anything I disliked really.
- Matthew (4/5): Not good message owners about arrival no answer rude - The place was nice Dirty sheets and bad location if going London transport system not good expensive
- Frédérique (9/5): Parfait séjour - Communication parfaite; très pratique d'avoir un frigo et un micronde ! Les portes sont extrêmement bruillantes si les personnes ne font pas attention à les retenir
- katia (7/5): -
- Annie (4/5): - Very smooth to find and sort the keys etc.. room was nice set up and parking was good and close to the location we wanted to visit. Room was very dirty and smelly (no clean and fresh smell hair and dust everywhere and the floors unswept/ clean) and i wasnt 100% sure the bedding had been changed as it had various hairs on the duvet, the fan in the room didnt help as I had hoped as that made it smell more.. shared bathroom facilties that were also very dirty especially the shower and toilet, im unsure who was renting the room opposite but I believe they contributed to the bathroom dirtiness and were noisy until the early hours. If the room and bathroom had been clean it would of made the experience nicer. Luckily I took 2 fluffy blankets and our own pillows one to lay on the bed and one to cover us else I do not think I could if gone through with the stay. I did not take any photos as we were literally there for one night and got back late and left early.
- Britta (7/5): - Dass es keinen Fön gab war für mich persönlich schlecht
- Skye (10/5): -
- Götz (5/5): Für 1 Übernachtung ausreichend. - ruhige Lage Das Bad ist ein gemainsames Bad von 2 Partien. Es ist sehr hellhörig. Es ist ein Hinterhaus. Der Kühlschrank ist zu laut. Wir haben ihn nachts ausgesteckt.
- Chloe (10/5): -
- Marcus (9/5): Nice quiet room for a stop over near Watford - Great price, helpful owner, comfortable and well set up. Not far from Leavesden Studios so very handy!
- Diarmuid (9/5): Good value for money. - Lots of facilities in the room like fridge, microwave, crockery etc. Shared bathroom and toilet. Little difficult to find. Mattresses wasn't very comfortable.
- Llewellyn (9/5): Very comfortable - There was no breakfast. A stopper in the sink and more milk cartons
- Craig (5/5): Affordable accommodation in a quiet neighborhood. - We appreciated the off-street parking (rare within the M25). Perhaps the room had been empty for a while, as it was a bit dusty (eg. on the glass shelf and the crockery )
The microwave is at floor level.
There is nowhere to wash dishes (I took mine in the shower).
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional - Great set up, summer house with 2 bedrooms and a toilet with shower. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room c/w a microwave, a fridge and a fan Nothing not to like, great set up
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Darren (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice accomodation . Very clean. Nice set up with everything you need for your stay. Comfortable bed and lovely shower. Very close to the M1 so easy to get on and off. Parking space too . Thank you for our stay Can not find anything wrong with this place
- James (7/5): Good value for money for a traveling engineer :-) - Tidy, good value for money; provided detailed instructions before arrival. Decent Wi-Fi. Plenty of parking. The microwave and mini fridge were a nice touch. Note to owner - the Malibu must have been left by a previous guest - it was not mine!
Great for no frills overnight/ short accommodation, As you can see, it's a garden room converted for Airbnb, which is fine. However, there are 2 rooms, separated by a shared shower room in the middle and as such, if there is somebody occupying the other room, it's very apparent when they are leaving or using the shower room. I was also conscious that my door was sticking, and it was very noisy when leaving the room, so it would suggest that needs fixing.
However, only niggles - for the price paid, I can't complain and would happily stay again.
- Steve (10/5): Excellent accommodation - Communication with Sally was spot on.
Beautiful property. Well furnished.
- Jaynish14 (5/5): Nice place to stay for cheap but the owner need to work on his hospitality skills. - I like the location and the things been provided in the room. The owner didn't really came across as very nice and didn't care about guest. I called her as I was not able to find the location and al she said is follow the instructions in the msg and sounded bit rude. It me while yo figure out the house as I was new to the area. Show some kindness and improve your behaviour.
- Tim (3/5): noisey, bad sleep, no one from Midway, very very basic. I would never go there again at any price. - didn't see owner or anyone. noisey heating or water system found it hard to sleep. no noise, see owner or someone like staff... no welcome at all
- Neil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Darren (10/5): Relaxed. - Sally thank you so much. Was perfect stay and just what I needed. Lovely room and comfortable stay with everything
- Leigh (8/5): Very good -
- Daniel (10/5): Best location for harry potter - Perfect location for harry potter studios. Good communication with owners and everything easy to understand
- Bate (8/5): Very good - This was a lovely little accommodation place. I had taken my son to London to harry potter studios just me and him for his birthday. I wanted to show him different bits of London and included this property. I was pleasantly surprised lovely clean quiet just perfect for a simple night away with my boy.
- Chinyere (1/5): l would not stay her again - The owner was nice but l need my refund. cleanliness of the shared bathroom was horrible due to other guest
- Nora (6/5): Could be better - Free parking We found leftovers in the microwave, one of the fridges were leaking the other barely worked. The carpet in the bathroom slipped and as a result one of us sustained mild injuries.
- Yvonne (6/5): Pleasant - It was cold on arrival and didn't get warm enough
- Marcel (1/5): Not very good just takr your money and never calls ,the worst - Never even stayed at this property
Called emailed nothing ,she did not even respond .could not find the place .and she did not pic up the phone 4days later still no call or message ,just toke the money and than you what a con con Crap no communication at all any problems .No one care ,and no return on money or call Nothing crap
- Baba (9/5): Superb -
- Daniel (9/5): Quite and very comfortable 😌 - Very comfortable bed and quiet, and really good communication from the host, definitely staying again, it's private, secure, and ideal for working away Nothing
- Paul (8/5): Very good - I booked to stay at the Midway for an overnight work stay that changed at the last minute, so I had to cancel my booking within 24 hours of my stay. Communication was very good, but this meant I lost my money. I would have preferred the offer of a refund or a change of date, but unfortunately, neither of these options was offered. Whilst I understand that they have a business to run, the minimum of an alternative date would have been appropriated. Having said that, I would choose to book here again. Communication
- Valerie (9/5): Superb -
- N (1/5): Bad - I contact the host, who agreed to cancel the booking an hour after it was made. However, they then refused to booking.com which prevented the refund being processed. It ended up wasting both time and money.
- Yassir (10/5): Very Prestigious and Classy - Very Prestigious and Classy
Extremely Comfortable and Convenient
Home Better than Home

Helpful Welcoming Management
- Brant (8/5): I was very happy with my short stay. - The accommodation was ideal for my short stay in Watford. Simple, clean and convenient.
- Tatiana (8/5): Very good -
- Tomas (8/5): Very good -
- Seongjun (8/5): Very good - It is wrong to forcefully Punch the door and threatfully yell to guest. It is also wrong to lie that 'there is No booking' even there is.
Even that is commited outside the City, there is evidence Video.
Here in England Nobody say anything when there is a crime and I feel really Dangerous and scared to say something
- Seongjun (8/5): Very good - Booking.com trustly payment is Not working without any reasons. It did Work until this morning and I have No Idea why.
Do you also Take Cash payment for extention 2 nights?
- Paul (10/5): Home away from home, well kept, absolute luxury for the price. - I’ve stayed at Midway for a few working weeks now. It’s always been kept remarkably clean, and always smells nice when I arrive. Everything you need is in the room, which is very cosy. It’s warm in the winter weather. The bathroom is modern, there’s always toilet roll and the shower is good and hot! For the price this is really great value, once you are in your room it’s really nice and very comfy. Home away from home.
Many thanks to Sally the host, I would definitely stay here again. I didn’t mind the shared bathroom, it’s a lovely bathroom, but very occasionally some guests were totally inconsiderate. Leaving the toilet dirty, or leaving the bathroom wet through. Mostly it was people banging doors or being noisy at all hours though. It’s a bit of a lottery who you get in the other room. And I’m sure some people did it on purpose! But usually it was absolutely fine so don’t let this review put you off.
- Andrew (6/5): Pleasant -
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nessrine (7/5): superbe - all is good
- Paul (10/5): Clean, tidy, everything you need, brilliant! -
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - A really cosy and comfortable place to stay while working away from home. It’s quiet and secluded with all the stuff you need. The room is kept clean and so is the bathroom. Perfect!
I’ve never had to ask for any help from Sally the host but I’m sure she would go out of her way to make any guests comfortable.
- Paul (9/5): Fabulous, great value for money and a comfy stay while working away from home. - Not far from where I’ve been working this was the ideal place to stay. Tucked away in a back garden it feels very private. It is very clean, warm and with all the facilities I need during the working week. Clean towels, a kettle, microwave, cutlery and a fridge. A tv too! The bathroom is kept clean and fresh. A very minor gripe which is totally out of the owners control. Some guests don’t care how much noise they make, constantly banging the doors whenever coming in or out, of their room or the bathroom. At all hours. There are notices up about being quiet but these are sometimes ignored, it depends who is staying in the other room.
- Gav (10/5): Exceptional - It is exactly as described and expected.
Great communication from the owner, regarding parking and how to gain entry.
They leave you alone, yet I get the feeling, should I require assistance, they would happily help out.
Definitely will book again.
- Yohan (1/5): Bad - nothing light was broken.
i stayed in dark.
when i arrived, water flew from fridge and smell of mold was full in the room.
room are very humid. no ventilation.
this room was the worst room. very terrible.
i think many reviews about Midway are fake.
if you want horrible experience, book the house.
- Paul (8/5): Very comfortable, a great place to stay when working away from home. - The room was very clean, warm, with fresh bedding and towels provided. The bathroom was also very clean and tidy. There was everything I needed. Instructions to get to the property were detailed, everything was spot on! The doors to the rooms and bathroom are very heavy. So anyone staying there who doesn’t care about who is in the other room will just let them bang shut. I stayed 5 nights and there were a variety of guests in the other room. Some were quiet, some weren’t. One night some guests came in at midnight and were in and out of the bathroom and their room for about an hour. Not great when you are trying to sleep and have to be up early.
- Vicky (10/5): Exceptional - absolutely lovely stay clean and comfortable would definitely book again nothing
- Eric (10/5): Cozy cute room - Clean room. We loved it. Quite cozy. Nothing. It was all nice.
- Ogundare (8/5): Very good -
- Tayla (10/5): Amazing , comfortable, clean, excellent value for money - I loved how secluded we were. We had our own privacy and the room had everything we needed in it . It was spotless, comfortable and overall just a stunning place which was amazing value for money. I would stay there over a hotel any day
- Chris (7/5): Good -
- Essi (6/5): Pleasant - Friendly, easy access. Noise from another room, darkness, evening time.
- Simon (8/5): Clean & tidy. Great for a 1 night stop over - The room was clean and tidy The shared bathroom
- Helgi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional - Our second stay here and we already have a third booked. It is very convenient for us when we travel down from the North to visit family or attend special occasions. The room is well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The owner seems lovely and really helpful too.
- Melissa (7/5): For the money, I think you’d be hard push to find something similar. It was clean, parking was easy, self check-in was - Parking was super easy and convenient, self check-in was very helpful and again very easy, the room was clean and the bed was comfy. Ultimately for the price, I think you’d be hard pushed to find something similar. There are two bedrooms in the cabin and our neighbours woke us up in the middle of the night, and again at the crack of crack of dawn. As both bedrooms are attached to the bathroom, you hear literally everything! When they checked in super super late it sounded as though we were in the same room and gave me an almighty fright!
We didn’t like having dirty crockery in the room with the only option to rinse under cold water in the small toilet sink - to then use one of the shower towels as a drying rack on the floor. I did inform the host and presumed that she would switch out the crockery for clean ones and perhaps offer a clean towel. Nope.
It was very uncomfortable not having a hand towel too. Having to just dry our hands on whatever we were wearing, was not fun – and we did ask three or four times if we could have a hand towel but never got one (the host said she would provide one, but didn’t.) She said that the only reason there’s not one in there in the first place was because of hygiene as it’s a shared bathroom. Perhaps providing an individual one per room or an investment into a paper towel dispenser might be a good idea.
Communication wasn’t particularly great as we often didn’t get a reply to messages.
- Freya (9/5): Superb -
- Robert (10/5): Best place I have stayed in whilst visiting London or surrounding areas, BY FAR. - Quiet location, 10m drive from the train station. Host offered parking space and access to the unit was more than easy.
Host gave phone number so any questions could be answered within 10m.
Room came with kettle, fridge, closet, desk, silverware and plates and bowls which made catering so easy.
Room was spotless, had an ac fan.
Toilet had high quality soaps and warm towels.
By far the best place I have stayed in London, train prices into London only cost £5 I WILL stay here again. Shared bathroom, but there is only one other room in the unit, and since we were out all day there was a 0% chance of having an issue.
A little hard to find, but the host gave a lot of directions which were coherent.
- Warrior (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wei (9/5): My short stay in Garston - I liked the room which was clean and it had utensils provided. The toilet was also clean and well kept. I did have a good experience whereby the owner even provided me a small container of detergent upon request along with a sponge. That was very kind. I would recommend this place if anyone is planning for a short stay to transition somewhere or so. If you do look for a good amount of privacy, I do think this works well. I wished the windows could be opened (I heard it was somehow bolted closed) for some air circulation, ended up making do with opening my room door ajar while I'm inside the room. Another thing I was a bit concerned about was the kettle which seemed to be peeling at the base and the water that came out of the tap in the toilet might need a bit of filtering if one were to use it for drinking. However these seem to be just minor issues at least for me. Lastly, if you happen to order food delivery or Uber, do specify the location of the house as it does not have a number and many times, people tend to miss it because of how the location is set via those apps and there is no house number (apart from being just named Midway).
- Nathaniel (10/5): Exceptional - The room was in a little lodge style building in the back of the lady's garden which made it feel quite quirky. It was in a really good area with some decent walks available near to the room. And everything we needed was provided without pressing for it! The Fridge in the room was quite loud but this is not a big deal.
