Everything

Not a single complaint

The homestay was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The private bathroom was a great feature, and the room was well-equipped with a desk and chair with conveniently located power outlets. Self check-in and check-out went smoothly, and the Wi-Fi was fast with access password clearly provided. The host was also responsive on WhatsApp, and having Big Tesco about 15 minutes away by e-bike was convenient.

There was no lift, and while walking up two floors wasn't too bad, large checked luggages must be left on the ground floor, which was annoying. For some reason, the room did not have any towels, making showering and washing hands quite annoying. While close to Heathrow Airport and Hatton Cross station, the location is not walkable, meaning one has to rely on Uber or slow, infrequent buses to get around.

The room was clean, and the lady who welcomed me was very kind and polite. She seemed to genuinely care and tried her best to make me feel comfortable.

I was really disappointed with this booking. The listing described it as a studio flat, but when I arrived, it turned out to be just a room in a shared property, not a private space as I expected. The kitchen was shared, and the bathroom was located next to another room where someone else was already living — something that was not mentioned clearly in the description. To be fair, the room was clean and the lady managing the place was very kind and welcoming. But this was not the experience I booked or expected, and I left the property immediately. I had to book another place last-minute, which was stressful and expensive. I won’t be using Booking.com again, as I no longer find it reliable. Listings should be 100% honest and transparent, especially when it comes to privacy and shared spaces.
