• Jordi F.G. (10/5): - Full equip kitchen
• James (10/5): Very good host, room was clean, location was perfect - Very secure with coded access to the room, it was clean and tidy and in a really good area close to restaurants, bars and the beach. Nothing bad to say
• John (9/5): - Great kitchen facilities. Comfortable spacious bedroom. Close to shops etc. Parking a challenge.
• Martin (10/5): -
• Lynne (9/5): Was happy with my stay, would definately stay again. - It was spacious and had a great kitchen, it also has 2 washing machines and a tumble drier. Half hour walk to the dockyards. Was difficult to clean up after ourselves in the kitchen as we couldn’t find any cloths.
• Gianluca (8/5): reasonably comfortable - very quiet and the king room was good and functional. Good sleeping as the house is in a side and very quiet street next time please add bedside tables, it never occurred to me that I had to leave our phones recharging on the carpet and having to stand up for switching the light off.
• Dimitrios (10/5): -
• Everitt (7/5): Very enjoyable - Location, cleanliness,price No garden

• Ben (10/5): -
• Samuel (10/5): - Really nice place to stay, spacious room and great location for the price.
• Stebven (9/5): - Excellent position in the middle of Southsea close to all amenities ideal for my trip Nothing
• Simon (6/5): Adequate accommodation, but there is better around. - Property was clean and hosts seemed lovely, even though they were not present. Kitchen and lounge looked great. Location very good. WiFi doesn’t reach upstairs well and a few hooks on the walls or doors, or hanging space would be helpful. Mattress was like a sponge, not very comfortable, but can’t complain about the price. Terms and conditions for stay were ridiculously long!
• Gizem (10/5): Quiet, homely. - Place is in a a nice, quiet residential area in Southsea. Walking distance to Southsea town center, 15-20 min easy walk from the train station, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and Portsmouth city center. Spotless and spacious room. Emma has excellent communication, it was nice of her to let us leave our bags in the property before the check in time. We would definitely stay there again.

• Tiziano (9/5): - Letto comodo Ottima posizione Stanza pulita e profumata Tutti i servizi a disposizione Possibilità di parcheggio gratuito
• Robert Stoynov (10/5): -
• Ankita (10/5): -
• Galina (9/5): - Our bed was really comfortable .The room was clean and enough warm,no any smells.The communal kitchen is fully equipped if you need it. We used it. Good location and price I think it would be nice to have drawers near the bed to put items like glasses or phone. the shower was ok but don't like water everywhere because no curtains or shower cabine
• John (10/5): An amazing place! Ideally located - I loved the set up. I was able to have my bike parked outside my window so it felt secure to me. Communication was clear and concise. The kitchen was well set up and I cant speak highly enough of this accommodation. I will be returning regularly to Portsmouth and this will be my first point of booking everytime!
• HELEN (9/5): -
• Rhys (8/5): -
• Kevin (10/5): A fabulous stay and would highly recommend. - Central location.. Spacious and comfortable room.. Huge kitchen with every possible appliance.. Very peaceful in a residential road . Nothing
• Kate (7/5): Great base when working nearby for a few days. - Quiet at night. Comfortable bed with good blackout. Great value. Full kitchen - shared and clean. No terrestrial broadcast TV channels (BBC1, ITV, channel 5 etc)
• Nash (9/5): -
• andrea (8/5): -
• Maria Veronica (10/5): -
• Noemi (7/5): - Decent location, and the host was incredibly helpful and pleasant. There are floor showers and although there's ventilation in the bathroom, you cannot properly open a window, so the room was constantly humid with no air. The sheets were stained, everything else seemed clean.
• Petra (10/5): -
• Maria Veronica (10/5): Really recommend for a nice stay! - The communication was excellent and it was easy to access with the codes provided. The shared kitchen was super useful to cook own meals or use the utensils provided. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable, really recommend. The shower was a bit peculiar due to the lack of divider with the rest of the bathroom but it wasn't too bad.
• Rich Sossamon (10/5): - Super friendly
• Kirsty (9/5): -
• Henry (7/5): - No issues The curtains
• Mitali (10/5): My 2nd time here and I’ll come again for sure - Cozy clean rooms. Safe neighbourhood. Prompt and helpful staff. Well stocked kitchen with utensils. Washer and drier. Comfortable lounge area.

• Lewis (7/5): -
• Victoria (10/5): Thanks again! - Have stayed here on two separate occasions now it is a very nice accommodation and it is such good value for money. It's very clean and well maintained and its in an excellent location just a few minutes to Southsea shops. Also dog friendly. Will stay again in my next visit Nothing. All great thank you
• Lauren (1/5): -
• Nichola (8/5): -
• Peter (10/5): Great Stay and Facilities. - Beds are comfortable, great location, fully equipped kitchen and common room. There is washer, dryer and dishwasher. Rooms and common areas are clean. Had smart tv in my room and common room. Had a chilled vibe and cooked myself some meals in the kitchen. Considering the location, kitchen, washer, parking,en-suite bathroom at this price, I have no complains.
• Edna (7/5): -
• Smart (9/5): - The property is clean including the lounge area. Very good size. Parking could be difficult.
• Lika (9/5): - The room was clean ..good Everything was ok...
• Kelly (1/5): Staff were rude - Location is good My partner found a dead maggot in the bed. We then got asked to leave after the first night we stayed there. We booked to stay for 3 nights but only got to stay one night. We were promised a refund but still haven’t received it
• Aqeel (1/5): Bedbugs!!! - I got bedbugs! very terrible experience. I stayed at this hotel for just one night and unfortunately ended up with bedbug bites. I contacted customer service immediately after discovering the issue, but I have not received any response whatsoever. It’s been almost 10 days and the symptoms still haven’t gone away — the bites are itchy, painful, and very uncomfortable. This has been an extremely unpleasant experience and the lack of communication or concern from the hotel makes it even worse. I would strongly advise others to be cautious when booking here.
• Carolyn (5/5): -
• Grazyna (7/5): I would recomend Blue Star House to anyone for short stays in Portsmouth - Room had good size and an own space outside, which was a bonus. Also, well equiped kitchen ready to use was a great addition. Location was very convinient, close to transport and Beach. It was no heating and the weather was not great during our stay, apart from bathroom which was very hot as heater was constantly on.
• Paul (9/5): -
• Ellie (10/5): Perfect location with pubs around and excellent facilities - Perfect for what we needed. Kitchen was clean and so was the room. Bed was really comfy A lot of stairs up to our room because it was right at the top but that’s just being nitpicky because there’s nothing else.
• rachel (10/5): -
• Steven (9/5): - Excellent accomodation clean and warm lovely bed and room. Good self catering facilities. Great area in the centre of Southsea Nothing could not fault it
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Smart (9/5): - The property is clean, and it has good facility for staff to relax. Nice kitchen, nice bedroom, nice living room. I find it difficult to master how to enter the key code.
• Svitlana (8/5): Overall good stay, with a few drawbacks - The room was quite spacious and warm, with a nice shower, a good location, and a large, comfortable bed. Coffee and tea were freely available, along with milk and sugar. The kitchen is shared but fully equipped with everything needed for cooking, although we didn’t use it The towels were too rough and could scratch the skin, so we ended up using our own. The rooms have digital locks, and because the rooms are very close to each other, we were constantly woken up by the sound of people entering their codes. This happened even at 2–3 a.m., as some guests were frequently walking back and forth. The TV is a standard one, not a smart TV
• Nick (7/5): Good in the summertime, not great in winter due to cold rooms - The property is in a good location and on a quiet street. The heating was not working properly. The radiators would not heat on fully when in use, which was in itself not enough. The heating should have been on and adjustable but it felt that they only switched it at night for a bit. The radiators could use a check as they may need air released from them. Also the bathroom radiator was not working and leaking.
• Hannah (10/5): Recommended - Great value for money, nice property N/a
• Laura (10/5): Suitable for our party. Emma the manager allowed us to leave a car on the drive the next day until we finished the Ports - Great location, clean with enough facilities for a short stay
• jean-francois (10/5): - Excellent couchage, rue très calme, check in bien rodé. Difficulté à trouver une place de parking dans les environs un dimanche soir.

• Joseph (9/5): Excellent value stay. - Fantastic price for accommodation in the area. Communication from the owner was on-point, to provide important check-in information and welcome. Parking permit provided for 24 hours parking - free!

• YU (10/5): -
• Evans (10/5): -
• Abi (9/5): Really good experience, would stay again! - The room was clean and smelled lovely, the bathroom was clean and neat. Getting in and out is easy and parking was okay! This property had very few negatives some Beijing With the windows open you can hear anyone passing and sometimes you could hear people in the same area.
• Marta (7/5): - Super easy check in. Access to communal kitchen and dinning room. Very well located. The bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress truly needs a replacement.
• Mark (10/5): Great value for money, would stay again in a heartbeat! - Great location, room was great for the price, shower was great. Nothing
• Elugbadebo (10/5): Satisfactory - Clean atmosphere none
• Blair (7/5): Was a place to get a nights sleep - Central location to food options Carparking off site, no face to face contact with host. Sharing of kitchen not kept tidy by others, parts of kitchen like oven an rangehood not working properly. We had to get our own towel from dryer after dinner as one room not ready.
• Richard (9/5): -

• Paul (1/5): - Because I understand one night Because they wouldn't give me my money back for the other night because I stayed one night
